"That's right! Her personal affairs are a mess," Lia blabbered. "She might not even know who the child belongs to."Who knows if there's something wrong with the baby?"Never mind. Let's not talk about her anymore," Lia said. "Let's go shopping after class tomorrow. I want to buy a necklace and ring at Queen Jewelry to wear to Chris' birthday party later on." …Chelsey rarely left the house after returning to the Jenson residence. She stayed at home all the time to rest and was always occupied with designing her jewelry. Sandra was busy as well. She spent her time traveling around the globe so frequently that she didn't have time to visit Chelsey. So, the two of them could only keep in touch online. Timothy seemed to be busy, too. He started going on the blind dates his family arranged for him and even began handling matters regarding his family's business. Still, he'd remind Chelsey to take her calcium tablets, cod liver oil, vitamins, and other supplements daily. He al

"Dianne, you're usually the most excited when we talk about handsome guys," said Shirley. "Why are you so quiet today? It's so strange." The corners of Dianne's mouth twitched slightly as she said, "You said it. I'd get hyped up over handsome guys. Lucas isn't handsome to me. Naturally, I have no interest in talking about him." Shirley and the other elderly ladies stared at Dianne dubiously. Layla couldn't stop herself from joking. "Do you still have cataracts affecting your vision? Lucas is more good-looking than some of the actors out there. Yet you're telling me that he's not handsome? There must be something wrong with your eyes."Dianne stole a glance at Chelsey before putting on an indifferent front. "Nevertheless, I don't think he's handsome." Shirley clucked her tongue as she nudged Dianne. "It seems you've become pickier to the extent that you don't think Lucas is handsome.""I simply think he's not that good-looking," Dianne said. "The Somners' son looks s

Lucas glanced around at the people in the room. "Good evening," he said. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Yates!" Shirley, Cassie, and Layla said in unison. They would've started fangirling over him if it weren't for their age. Timothy turned a blind eye to Lucas and started scooping up some dishes and serving them on Chelsey's plate. Chelsey, on the other hand, chose to ignore Lucas completely and continued digging into her food. She didn't expect to meet him here. The best she could do was to feign ignorance to avoid trouble. Compared to her three friends, Dianne seemed pretty calm. She quietly looked Lucas up and down. He was, undoubtedly, charming and would be a perfect match for Chelsey. After glancing at Chelsey, Dianne realized that Chelsey seemed to be avoiding Lucas' gaze. Dianne pitied Chelsey even more now. Meanwhile, Lucas was upset because Chelsey was ignoring him. Still, he didn't show it on his face. With a smile, he turned to Michael and said, "It's so lively here

Chelsey swore that the air in the room had turned tense because of Lucas. Shirley was the first to notice that he persistently stared at Chelsey. She nudged Layla, who sat beside her, and signaled for her to look at Lucas. Layla then noticed it, too. Lucas' gaze was simply too conspicuous. So, Shirley and Layla assumed that Lucas and Chelsey knew each other and that their relationship was complicated. As Dianne was seated beside her, Layla lowered her voice and asked her, "Does Chelsey know Mr. Yates?"Dianne's heart skipped a beat at the question. Out of reflex, she said, "No. Why would Chels know him? She doesn't know him." Layla was skeptical, though. "But he's staring at her all the time. Maybe he has an eye for her." "Really?" Dianne raised her eyes to look across the room. Lucas was indeed staring at Chelsey. Pissed, Dianne stared daggers at Lucas and said, "Why don't I tell all of you a story?""What kind of story is it?" Shirley asked, puzzled at Dianne's su

"The person beside her must be her husband then!" Michael thought. He thought it was awfully embarrassing of him to say those words when Chelsey's husband was right beside her at that time. He felt the urge to punch himself in the face."It's fine," Chelsey told him. "I'm going to take a walk. See ya." She waved him goodbye and walked with Timothy to the other side of the lake. Lucas could only watch as she left. Although he stood rooted to the spot, his heart was far away as it had followed after her when she walked away. …After walking for a while, Timothy sent Chelsey home because Dianne and her gang would be late in returning home that night. When Dianne arrived home, she headed straight to Chelsey's room and said, "Chels, you must not forgive Lucas. Don't let him fool you again. He's a scumbag. Us Jensons can afford to support you and your baby." Chelsey could still smell the alcohol off Dianne when she spoke. "Thank you, Grandma," she said, touched by Dianne's
