Love Under False Pretense Chapter 22 Keep Your Voices Down
Andrea relished in the tranquil comfort she was in. Aside from not being able to move around like normal, there were no other concerns that troubled her. Mainly because she had finally sorted out how she was moving forward. Which would be for her husband and their child in her womb.“Please be patient in the meantime, dearie.” Andrea lovingly rubbed her stomach that had yet to show any symptoms of being pregnant. “Mommy has to find the right opportunity to tell Daddy about you.”Even if she had decided to keep the baby, the actress was still unsure how Sebastian was going to respond to all of this.But something gave her the idea that his reaction might not be all that bad.Andrea sighed as she closed her eyes. Her memory drifted to when Sebastian left this morning. How he put on his authentic smile. She knew that much because of the way the left corner of his lips was higher than the other. The only goofy look he’d ever had.And how he went out of his way to accommodate for her speci
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 23 Not What I Meant
“All the sacrifices I’ve made, just to see you waste them away,” Laura doubled down on her guilt-tripping, watching Andrea squirm in her seat. She let out a few more heavy sighs after each sip of her wine. Becca smirked beside her as she enjoyed the unfolding scene.Andrea cowered on instinct. While she live with her mother, her speeches about sacrifice and repayment were always followed by a few slaps or hits from a belt. She firmly hugged her lower abdomen.“Don’t act like a victim here, Andy,” her mother continued. The tremor in Laura’s voice let her know that she was getting irritated. “When it’s me, your mother, who’s about to suffer because you got lazy.” She pretentiously dabbed a tissue in her eye to wipe a tear.“I don’t know what to tell you, Mom,” Andrea replied in a hushed tone. “I can’t predict what will happen in the coming months.” Depending on Sebastian’s response, it would either be a blissful retirement, or a forceful and humiliating leave from the industry.“And I j

“That piece of work! She must have been bad-mouthing me to Andy!” Laura continued to rant even as they exited from the front gates of the Adams residence. “I knew that girl, Ren, is a bad influence on Andrea. See where she got herself into!”The mother turned to her daughter who had been strangely quiet the whole time. “Hey, Becca. Are you listening to me?” Laura slightly pushed her forward to get her attention.Becca, who had her arms crossed and her face frowning the whole time, exploded into a sudden shriek, “Agh! I hate her!”Laura halted in her tracks as she clung to her bag. Her fuming daughter continued to walk down the pathway, oblivious to her surroundings.“Rebecca Sout! You almost gave me a heart attack!” The mother quickly caught up with her and gave her backside a whack with her bag. “Ouch! Mom, that hurts!” Becca finally addressed Laura.“What’s gotten into you? Ever since we left Andrea’s house, you’ve been acting strange.”Becca stomped her feet and wailed like a child
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 25 Why Would He Care
Droves of maids went back and forth in the dining room as they served their employer’s dinner. The personal chef entered himself to bring the main course. “Herdwick lamb loin with Ramson leaves and flowers,” he announced while setting the plates.“Thank you, Manny. Everything is lovely as always,” Edgar Quinn said, taking in the smell and presentation of the dish with great pleasure. “Am I right, Lilith?” He looked at his daughter who was more interested in whatever was on her phone screen rather than the effort that their chef has put in for her visit to the Quinn estate.“Yeah, yeah,” she nonchalantly replied. Manny could only leave disappointed together with the rest of the staff while they leave the room as the Quinns dig in on their dinner.The faint sounds of silver utensils slicing through meat only lasted a few moments when Edgar said, “Why don’t you stay here with me? This is your house and I could only imagine what you eat while living in that condominium.”“Dad, it’s what I
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 26 Which Would Look Better Beside Him
“Let me read it, Andy,” Ren incessantly demanded. She held out her hand, waiting for Andrea to give her the tablet.“There’s really nothing, Ren. I swear.” Andrea gripped the device close to her chest. She knew very well how her friend was going to react after seeing what was on it. “Just let it be.”Her manager scoffed, “Nothing? Then why were you balling your eyes out before I got here? When we left you after that dinner, I thought everything was good.” She shook her head in disbelief. “Did he tell you to abort the baby? Is that it?” Ren was now huffing extensively.Her presumption made Andrea gasp, “You thought this is about Sebastian? It isn’t!” Her heart clenched just imagining her husband say those horrible words to her.“What?” Ren thought that this was finally the day he got to sucker punch that bastard. “Then why were you crying?”Having no other choice but to absolve Sebastian from Ren’s terrible judgment, Andrea gave her the tablet. “Here you go. But don’t take it to heart,
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 27 Mischief and Devilishness
“So what do you think?” Lilith held up two sheets each showing opposing designs. “In my opinion, these are the best of the bunch. But I have a hard time choosing between the two.” Andrea still couldn’t believe Sebastian would ditch her like that. She thought they had an agreement and that she was going to have her fitting next week. Why was it so easy for him to place Lilith first? “Earth to Andrea,” Lilith’s ethereal voice brought her back to reality. “If you’re not feeling well, just tell me. Trust me, I of all people would understand.” The mistress of the house wanted to agree for the visitor to take her leave. If only her husband hadn’t sent that message. “Hey, Lilith told me she’s coming over to the house to visit you. Hope you make her feel welcome.” Why, of course. It’s not like her arrival wasn’t straining their relationship, right? “Oh no, I, I’m fine. Just a-a little taken aback by those dresses,” Andrea stuttered, plastering a fake smile on her tensed face. “Aw, thank y
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 28 We Can Make This Work
Despite how delectable Lilith’s edible arrangement was, Andrea couldn’t find herself taking even just one bite. For some reason, it was nauseating for her. But she looked up at the table and saw how Sebastian enjoyed them greatly. He seemed to revel in each bite.“You should try some, they’re really good,” he encouraged her. He smirked at the food as if realizing a hidden joke that his first love placed somewhere in the arrangement.An inexplicable sense filled Andrea’s whole body that it made her fingers tingle. She replied robotically, “You can have all of it. I have to get ready, Ren’s picking me up to go to the hospital.” She got up from the chair opposing her husband’s and proceeded to the stairs.“Wait, I’ll do it.” Andrea still hadn’t decided on when and how she’d tell the father about her pregnancy. And she was feeling quite petty about Sebastian making decisions for her. So going to Hopedale Hospital for her prenatal checkup was not something she’d rope Sebastian into going.
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 29 Why Are You Here?
Andrea let out a shaky breath as she stood before the door of the psychiatrist Doctor Abel recommended. ‘Dr. Michelle Carlson’ was spelled in golden letters onto the wooden board. She looked around once more to make sure no one was there aside from her guard. The halls were empty. So she knocked softly, three times, before a woman’s steady voice answered, “Come in.” “Ah, Miss Andrea, welcome,” the older woman greeted Andrea as she shyly entered the office. Dr. Carlson, from her desk, motioned for her to sit on a plush chair. The actress obliged. “So, I’ve followed the protocols from the NDA and made sure that no one would be here during your visits. And that we would be using the excuse of physical therapy for your shoulder,” the psychiatrist informed Andrea as she got up from her office chair and moved towards her. Dr. Carlson took a seat on the chair in front of her. Andrea chuckled awkwardly, “Oh, thank you so much.” When she told Ren to make sure this was kept secret, she wasn’
