Lydia seemed stunned, at a loss for words.
"So, what if you are pregnant with his child?" she asked.
Candy was taken aback and could not help exclaiming, "You are pregnant?!"
She thought, "Richard looked so pretentious on the outside, yet secretly got a woman in her twenties pregnant?"
Lydia touched her stomach. "Yes."
Candy's mind was in a whirl. She initially only wanted to find out if Lydia was truly interested in Richard or just after his money.
But she had uncovered an even bigger secret, which was quite a surprise.
"So, are you planning to keep the baby?" Candy asked.
Lydia countered, "What else would I do?"
"You are still so young. Having a child means your life is over. Besides, once you have a baby, how will you... mess around with that old man's son?"
She dragged her chest again.
Lydia looked troubled. "It does not have to be messing around with his son, right?"
Candy was speechless, as if it was indeed not necessary.
After finishing their beauty treatments, Candy and Lydia started washing their faces and changing clothes.
Candy took out her phone. "Let's exchange contact info. I still need to transfer the money to you."
Lydia hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed.
Leaving the beauty salon, Candy got into the car and then dejectedly said, "It is over. She is pregnant."
"Who is pregnant again?"
The voice was not Wesley's, startling Candy. She quickly sat up and found that it was Asher sitting next to her.
"Damn, are you a ghost?"
She thought, "This was Mamaica!"
Asher looked at Candy. "Have you ever seen such a handsome ghost?"
Candy rolled her eyes. "If ghosts looked like you, the Hell would be packed with souls eager to be reincarnated."
Without caring about Asher's extremely disheveled appearance, she yanked open the car door and was about to leave.
After getting off the car, Candy cursed in a low voice, "Such a crazy person."
She then noticed another car of the same model parked on the other side, just with a different license plate.
Since they were in Mamaica and needed to rent a car to avoid being spotted by Richard, it was normal to see similar models. She had not expected to make a mistake in identifying the car.
Getting back into Wesley's car, she repeated, "That woman is pregnant."
Wesley's face was full of shock. "Are you sure?"
Candy nodded. "Yes, she said so herself."
The Jenkins family already had a few children. Besides Wesley, there was the difficult Matthew, and the one sent abroad for treatment, Rachel.
