Ethan had only uttered one word, but Mona’s knees went weak.
Dropping to the floor, Mona said, “Mr. Miller, I’ll tell! I’ll tell you everything!”
Ethan frowned, thinking that Mona gave in a little too soon. He hadn’t even pressured her.

“I felt that it was a pity to throw away the roses we trimmed from the garden, so I sold them at night
for a dollar each.
“I didn’t mean to be greedy. I just need money, and my grandmother has gotten sick, too. I’m sorry, Mr. Miller. I won’t do that again.
Ethan frowned even deeper. “That’s what you wanted to say?”
Mona wiped her tears. “There’s more. I’ll tell you everything.
“When I was trimming the trees, my hand slipped, and I accidentally trimmed the heart shape into an

Holding his fingers against his forehead, Ethan had a look of annoyance on his face. “What nonsense are you talking about?
“I’m asking you to tellabout Liv. You’ve been taking care of her these days. Did you find something off about her?”
Mona wiped the sweat on her forehead. “Ms. Fordham? She has had a small appetite lately.”
“And?”
“That’s all. Ms. Fordham has always been a cold person, so she rarely talks to us.”

Mona widened her eyes. “Mr. Miller, did you already know that Ms. Fordham is pregnant? She even toldto keep it a secret.”
She had just graduated, so she hadn’t been weathered by society. So, Ethan managed to trick her right.

Ethan’s heart sank. As expected, Henry was right. Olivia had truly gotten pregnant.
Ethan didn’t let any emotions appear on his face. “Of course. She can’t hide anything from me.

“Since she doesn’t wantto know, then I’ll pretend I know nothing as well.
“Don’t tell her anything in case it affects her mood.”
Mona agreed. “That’s true. Pregnant women have unstable moods.
“I could feel that Ms. Fordham has had very obvious mood swings lately. She would smile one moment and then get anxious the next.”
“What is she anxious about?”

Ethan frowned deeply. “Did you just say that she has severe nausea?”
“Yes. I heard from Ms. Fordham that it’s even worse than her last
pregnancy.
“She couldn’t eat anything, but she forced herself to eat for the sake of her child.
“Sometimes, she would throw up right after eating, but she didn’t care.
