Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella) novel Chapter 377

Bella remained silent for a while before speaking, "As long as you don't expose me, we'll take it one step at a time. I'll go to the hospital tomorrow to resign and find a place near you to move to."

Lia wasn't comfortable with the idea of a pregnant Bella looking for a place on her own. "I'll help you find a place. It'd be best if it's in my apartment building so that I can check on you whenever. You should focus on resting now since you're so skinny and carrying a baby. This little one hasn't been born yet, but he's already had serious bad luck…"

When Bella returned to her apartment that evening, she ran into Wesley dragging a suitcase downstairs. For the first time, he didn't greet her and instead brushed past her with an indifferent expression.

She wondered if he was moving out. She was puzzled as to why he was acting like a child.

But she didn't dwell on it too long. After all, Wesley was just a passerby in her life, and she would soon split ways with him. She had never had any thoughts toward him, so it was for the best.

After resigning, Bella stayed home to rest and focus on her pregnancy. She bought books on prenatal care, determined to become a good mother. At the very least, she wanted her child to know she was a good mother.

Soon, Lia helped her secure a place. Since she planned to hire a helper, she rented a two-bedroom apartment in Lia's apartment building.

Lia chose a day to help Bella with her relocation, and after settling into the new home, the two of them collapsed onto the bed, exhausted.

Bella grabbed Lia's sweaty hand and said, "Lia, I'm so lucky to have met you."

Lia chuckled. "Same here. Our friendship is for life. I'm even taking a risk by keeping your pregnancy hidden. If Dominic discovers we're deceiving him, he'd probably want to skin me alive."
