Though who knew that the result turned out to be such a huge slap in the face? This was all indeed a conspiracy against me. They were merely going with the flow and glad to see it happen. Not wanting to stay here any longer, I covered my chest and left the building that madefeel suffocated. What happened next was similar to what I thought.
The results of the inspection were out. After conducting an investigation into Grant Corporation, they found no irregularities.

As I was willing to take responsibility for it, the company was able to salvage parts of its reputation. Everything went back to normal after business resumed operations as usual.
I went from being in despair and sad to slowly calming down. However, I continued to have low spirits and could barely cheer myself up.
I had been staying in Cecilia's house without returning to the villa. As I no longer needed to go back to work, I had nothing to do at hand daydreamed all day. 1 My stomach grew very quickly, and a bump was already visible.
I no longer cared about what was happening in the outside world. I did not watch the news nor did I care about the current situation. I also stopped asking about Theo.
Cecilia was anxious to seelike this. She had been making all sorts of different dishes forevery day to cheerup.
After dinner, Cecilia said to me, "Wanda, our house in Rosella City is done. Should we go over and stay for a few days? I need your help to check out the place. I don't know much about renovation works." "Okay." Although I did not feel like going out, I had to accompany Cecilia since she had asked.
I knew very well that she just wanted to use this as an excuse to bringout. For the sake of my child, I should go out to take a walk. I should not allow the sullenness in my heart to devourwhole.
Rosella City was not very near to Salt City, but the high-speed train made things convenient. We arrived in just three hours.
Cecilia's house was in a high technology zone. The government was planning for a new education park that would have public and private schools. There were many schools here, and all the area was being improved. It was a good living environment.
Cecilia did not buy a villa according to the original plan but chose a luxurious townhouse community where each building had only six floors. Moreover, the buildings were all set apart from each other with impressive green spaces. Looking at the place as a whole, it seemed really worth it.
A house of more than 2,152 square feet was more than enough for the four of us to live in.
"What do you think? I'm not well-versed in these things. Do you think the decorations are okay?" Cecilia asked in a soft voice when she sawlooking around the place.
I raised my thumb. "It's perfect!"

She was always putting up with all my decisions. She also made arrangements and future plans forin advance.
She had always been againstmarrying Theo in the past, but when I got married, she was happier than anyone else Worried that I would be I bullied or that I would have no family to return to after fighting with Theo, she bought a house in Salt City to keepcompany. She would always be in the splace, smiling and greetingwith open arms.
"Do you have to be so moved, silly girl? We've agreed to be each other's family and to take care of each other, no? Cecilia patted my shoulder and consoledsoftly. "Mm, we'll take care of each other." I smiled and nodded hard.
"Look at you, smiling and crying at the stime. Go and wash your face. We're going out to eat. We can't starve ourselves." Cecilia joked while cupping my face.
