NovelEnglishChapter 77 "What a coincidence, my girlfriend happens to be here. This will be easy, then. Look, I wasn't lying!" Xander said to Ginny with a smug look on his face.
Ginny lookedup and down before speaking with great certainty, "You're lying. How can a person like her be good enough for you? She's not your girlfriend a t all." Was I that bad? I could not help but look at myself.
Indeed, because of my pregnancy, I was wearing flats and a loose cotton linen skirt. With my hair pulled up and no makeup on, I must look really old-fashioned and ugly.
"I'm not lying to you. Look at her face, she's the woman in the picture I keep in my wallet." Xander no longer looked as helpless and anxious but was extremely smug at the moment.
Ginny then studied my face carefully for a very long twithout saying a word. Then, she harrumphed and walked away with a sad expression.
This demon broke the heart of yet another girl. I felt a little guilty. Although I did not say a word from start to finish, I should not have let him dragin to be used as a shield.

"I didn't. These women are the ones taking the initiative to cling to me. I want so badly to avoid them," Xander cried out, instantly feeling aggrieved.
He was right. Judging from his devilish good looks, he could attract a bunch of fans just by standing there without saying anything-not to mention the female celebrities who hung out with him every day. It would be hard not to fall in love with him.
I was silent. I suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why do you have my photo in your wallet?" "Cough, cough... That's not important. Wanda, since we're so fated that we're even bumping into each other when we're out to grab a cup of coffee, should we go and watch a movie together?" he leaned over and asked excitedly.
"I'm not interested. You can go by yourself. I'm really tired, so I'll be heading back now." Cecilia was probably going to wake up soon. I got up and got ready to leave.
"No, wait. Let's go together." He followed behindand ran over. "Your exhaustion is all the more reason why you should try and relax. I'll carry you." Having said that, he actually pickedup princessstyle and ran ahead at a fast speed.
"Putdown, Xander," I cried out in a panic.
He ignoredand ran even faster.
Worried about the child, I shouted, "Putdown. It's dangerous! I'm pregnant!" He froze and halted in his steps, finally puttingdown. His face that was full of smiles a second ago changed at once. He asked in a deep voice, "Is it Theo's?" "You don't say? How many husbands do you think I have?" I was speechless and started to walk. What a weird question.
He stood in my way and asked seriously, "How many months now? Does he know?" Helpless, I looked at him and replied, "More than two months now. Of course, he knows." Xander's smiley and attractive eyes darkened a little a s he gave a small, bitter smile. He did not say another word.
I was unsure of his sudden change and when I saw how late it was, I quickly bade farewell and rushed to Cecilia's house.
As soon as I arrived at Cecilia's community, she textedand said that she needed to handle something at the store. She toldto wait for her.
With nothing better to do, I went straight to her house to wait for her.
Cecilia was not around. I was bored in the house so I switched on the laptop to look at sinformation. At this moment, my phone started ringing. It was a call from Zedd.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhy was he calling me?
Right after accepting the call, I could hear Zedd's mocking laughter. "Theo didn't go htonight right, Wanda? Go hDo you Theo cares about you just because you're pregnant? You'll never be Cindy's match."
"Mr. Zedd, are you callingto feel better about yourself because Theo and Cindy aren't hanging out with you? After a pause, I continued, "Actually, you can form a tsince O you don't mind it anyway." "Shut up, Wanda. Who do you think you-" Not bothering to waste any more of my breath, I hung up the phone resolutely.
Theo had probably gone to take care of Cindy, that was why Zedd was callingto show off.
Forget it. What did it have anything to do with me? I suppressed the unease ne unease in my heart and started paying attention to t the information on the laptop. I read for more than an hour before my waist started feeling sore, so I stood up to stretch myself.
At this moment, the doorbell rang. Cecilia was probably back.
Why was Cecilia always forgetting her keys? I opened the door while saying, "What took you so long? I'm already tired from waiting for you." Outside the door, I did not hear Cecilia's voice as anticipated but instead felt a cold and gloomy aura. I looked up. i Theo was standing outside the door, his entire being covered in a cloud of gloom.
