Chapter 150: She Knows What Will Happen Next
Hilla had been staying at home until she graduated. Bruce had the cook prepared different dishes for her every day. As a result, she ended up getting fatter.
Before graduation, Margaret rushed back from Far City in a hurry. Seeing Hilla, she couldn’t help but shout in surprise, "Oh my God! Bruce must have cost a lot in your meals! You look like a ball! You can’t indulge yourself in like this! I think he will dump you when you get fat. But it seems it’s almost impossible."
Margaret found that Bruce was a devoted man.
A little stingy he was, he never screwed up with other girls. Margaret had never heard he had done so.
Different from typical financial tycoons, he had never been involved in any relationship scandals.
After marrying Hilla, he took care of Hilla even more. Now to him, Hilla became more important than Margaret.
Looking at Hilla’s round and red face, Margaret teased, "Bruce almost ruins you!"
Hilla sighed and leaned lazily on the sofa. She pouted and said in a low voice, "I think so too. It’s said that mean fatten up their wives to avoid being cheating. It’s true. Bruce must think that I’ll be taken away by someone else because I am outstanding."
Margaret was a little unhappy when Hilla said bad words about Bruce. But seeing Hilla’s fatter face, she couldn’t help but nod. She sat on the sofa and started to enjoy a piece of chocolate.
"Hey, eat less. It’s calorific."
Just as Hilla reached out to get the chocolate, Margaret stopped her with her hand.
Hilla could only look at the chocolate on the table with reluctance and sighed.
"I have so much free time. Moreover, I’m going to graduate soon. I get nothing homework from the school. So the only thing I could do is eating."
Hilla felt helpless. It was really not easy to be an idle young lady.
"I heard that you went to Far City for an internship recently. How is it? Can you do it, my delicate princess?"
Hilla looked at Margaret. And sure enough, she saw Margaret moving her body awkwardly. Margaret replied in a low voice, "No matter what, I am a college student. Don’t say that like I can’t take care of myself. The work there is quite simple. It’s just that I can’t fit in the environment there. After all, I’m a newcomer."
Speaking of this, Margaret complained about Bruce again in her heart.
Bruce gave her living expenses every month. But as a prodigal rich girl, it was never enough.
She found herself out of money after she only bought two pieces of clothing a month. She was frequently late every month, so her humble salary was not enough for a fine.
What a life! The more she thought about it, the more she felt that money was important. She was so kind that she didn’t compete with Bruce for family property.
How could she sacrifice that?
Hilla was not interested in Margaret’s internship in Far City. She moved on the sofa and said weakly, "I want to do something fun!"
"Something fun? That’s easy. Since you stay with Bruce, why not have sex with him every day? Then you’ll get an adorable baby to play with you."
Margaret smiled evilly. For the sake of money, she did what Orlenna had told her.
She felt that she could get some of his nephew’s pocket money in the future because she had contributed a lot to him.
After all, she helped to urge his mother to be pregnant.
"Cute girl, what nonsense are you talking about? I just graduated."
Hilla frowned awkwardly, showing great rejection in her eyes.
She never thought about having a child now. She had looked forward to it before, but it was different from being a mother.
As a twenty-year-old girl, she was far from being a mother.
"It’s not a big deal. Many graduates continue their studies while they are pregnant. It can save time. You should seize every second of your youth and do what you should do."
Margaret looked so supportive and encouraging. She almost wished that she could make Hilla pregnant at once.
Because if Hilla got a baby on the way, she would have pocket money on the way too.
Margaret felt that there was cash in her palm at the thought of Orlenna’s promise.
And she could not help but pretend to finger the bills.
"I’m not those graduates. I don’t want to have a baby right now."
Hilla buried her face, frowning even deeper. She hadn’t noticed this before. During these days with Bruce, he was so strong and amazing. They didn’t even use condoms.
Hilla’s gazes fell on those piles of delicious snacks, and then she touched her belly, which had obviously become round over the past few days. She was so scared that she shivered.
Was she pregnant?
Upon closer thinking, she found that she hadn’t gotten her period this month.
Hilla sat up from the sofa in fright, her back straight and her face gloomy. She looked very nervous, which scared Margaret, who wanted to persuade her to have a baby.
"What are you doing? You’re weird!"
Margaret was scared.
Margaret patted her chest carefully. Before she could say something, Hilla suddenly bounced up from the sofa and paced around the room hurriedly.
Her face looked nervous. Soon, her eyes turned red!
"No! What should I do?"
"What’s wrong with you? What’s it? What do you mean?"
Margaret could help her with anything. If there was really something Margaret couldn’t, Bruce would be here.
She believed that Bruce was able to do anything for Hilla.
Hilla almost cried. She grabbed Margaret’s hand and stopped breathing for a while. "It seems... I’m pregnant."
Her waist ... was fatter!
Hilla touched her lower abdomen nervously and felt a soft lump on it. She was in despair when she thought that she hadn’t been in her period for two months. But then she suddenly had a strange feeling.
Was she really going to be a mother?
She thought of Halle, who was enjoying the cool under the courtyard trees and touching her round belly from time to time, looking happy.
Her belly would grow bigger too.
Margaret was stunned for a long time before she realized what Hilla had said. She grabbed Hilla with one hand and her bag with the other. She was so excited that she almost cried.
Her would-be nephew was so powerful even before he was born. She felt so happy for him.
She would tell Orlenna this good news so that she could get her reward money soon!
...
Looking at the hand that was grabbed by Margaret, Hilla pulled it out forcefully in pain. But Margaret pulled it back eagerly.
"Pregnant? Really?"
Hilla frowned. "Why are you more excited than me?"
She was not sure. But she indeed hadn’t gotten her period for more than a month.
Moreover, she got fatter and had a better appetite.
The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. Hilla quickly grasped the back of the sofa. While she was nervous, Margaret looked excited. "It’s just a guess. I won’t be so unlucky!"
How could she forget about condoms just because of Bruce’s perfect face?
How silly she was! Bruce tempted her to have sex, and she just did it without caring about anything else.
"Don’t be so pessimistic!"
Margaret pretended to comfort her. But her eyes were smiling.
Her gazes moved up and down on Hilla’s belly with ulterior motives.
Hilla felt she must have bad intentions.
"The Anderson family is always lucky. Since you’ve married Bruce, you’re part of the family. In your belly ..."
"There’s only a fart in it."
Hilla quickly covered her belly in fear. She turned away unnaturally when she met Margaret’s gaze.
She was thinking about buying a pregnancy test at the drugstore and trying it.
But Margaret seemed to have already confirmed her pregnancy. Seeing Hilla was nervous, she quickly comforted her, "Okay, okay, whatever. Don’t be mad. Be careful! Don’t hurt my dear nephew."
"No, there is only a fart inside."
Hilla said in a serious tone. Margaret nodded quickly, "Fine! Then I will wait for you to fart."
Hilla was speechless.
Margaret quickly helped Hilla to sit down on the sofa. She would afraid that she couldn’t get her pocket money if Hilla got hurt in her belly.
She would tell this good news to Orlenna soon. They must celebrate it for days! "I’m really not pregnant."
Hilla said unconvincingly as she sat on the sofa in a daze.
Margaret nodded. "Okay! There is only a fart inside."
Hilla was lost for word.
"Don’t worry. I’ll go back to Far City after I get my graduation certificate. When you give birth ... fart, I’ll come back in advance."
Hilla felt that she might have long-term constipation because of a ’fart’.
Margaret looked like she knew everything. Hilla was speechless and upset. The whole thing she wanted was to cut open her belly and see what was in it.
Margaret was eager to graduate. And soon Hilla was about to graduate too. The two of them returned to the school at the same time. Hilla stopped and looked at Margaret when they got to the school gate. "You go in first. I’ll buy a bunch of flowers."
Other students would give them flowers at the graduation ceremony, but Hilla wanted to buy one for her friend. Margaret nodded. Anyway, Hilla and she had different majors. Thinking of her graduation certificate, Margaret headed happily to the River University.
After three-year-long waiting, Margaret finally became a graduate. She suddenly had a sense of achievement.
The more she thought about it, the happier she became. Margaret almost wished she could be right in front of her professor at once.
Seeing Margaret run away, Hilla got relaxed. She looked around vigilantly and quickly took a few steps back, afraid that her acquaintance would see her.
On the roadside not far away, a black car slowly stopped under the shade of a tree.
James looked up and saw Hilla standing at the entrance of Jiang University.
"Mr. Anderson, it’s Mrs. Anderson!"
James became excited for no reason, and he said in a louder voice.
He couldn’t figure out the reason as the girl he saw wasn’t his girlfriend.
However, he would be treated well if Bruce was happy. Moreover, it was Hilla’s graduation ceremony today. Bruce came here even if he was busy.
Sure enough, Bruce, who was sitting behind the car seat, looked up slightly when he heard that. He looked away from the tablet to the entrance of the school.
The corner of his mouth curved slightly as he said lightly, "You go back first!"
On the seat beside him was a bouquet of beautiful pink roses. Hilla liked flowers with bright colors like this, especially romantic roses.
After all, young girls looked forward to pink things.
Bruce held the bouquet in his palm and looked up at Hilla who was not far away.
Seeing she sneaked into a pharmacy, Bruce frowned.
Was Hilla sick?
Hilla came out of the pharmacy with her bag in her arms. On her head was her coat which she just took off. Now she was running towards the gate with her head lowered.
By doing this, she thought no one would see her.
She ran quickly. Soon she fell into a strong embrace. Bruce subconsciously put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.
"Who are you? Damn ..."
The word was stuck in her throat the moment she saw Bruce. She could only stare at the man in front of her innocently with her eyes wide open.
She blinked again and again.
She wished she was blind now.
"Why, why are you here?"
Then Hilla was in a daze with guilt. Thinking of the school gate not far away, she struggled out of Bruce’s arms.
Bruce’s gaze fell on her bulging satchel. He said in a low voice, "You’re sick? But you looked good in the morning."
Could it be she caught a cold last night? But they also had sex in the bathroom a few times before and she was okay with it.
Hilla shook her head, her chin even lower. She said in a low voice, "No, no!"
"Your face is red. Are you embarrassed to see me?"
Bruce bent down slightly. His breath spread on Hilla’s face as he got close.
His sudden intimate behavior was somewhat seductive. Hilla was completely stunned when she looked up and met her dark eyes.
He looked so pretty.
It had been a long time since they started dating, and they already had sex now. But she was still attracted by him.
"No, of course not. Your sudden appearance scared me."
Hilla whispered. But suddenly she found her hand was empty as Bruce had snatched her satchel. Before she realized what had happened, Bruce had already opened it.
Hilla felt she had butterflies in her stomach. Judging from Bruce’s changing expression, she knew he had known it.
Inside her satchel, she put a box of birth control pills on the very top in hurry. Now it seemed Bruce had seen it. She knew what would happen next.
