HEARTLESS HUSBAND CHASE HIS EX-WIFE novel Chapter 6

CELINE’s POV

-

While in the car, Astrid was unable to refrain from reacting to what happened earlier, even though she hadn’t yet inquired about the reason behind my actions.

“Oh, my gosh. My brain still can’t process what happened earlier.” Astrid reacted again while driving. “But if Hanna mentioned that she and Lance had an affair, I might be unable to restrain myself from reacting towards Hanna. Good thing she and Lance don’t have an affair.”

“Astrid, just drive first. We might get into an accident if you don’t focus on the road.” Christine disobeyed her.

“Yeah, we need to get to the restaurant so that we can find out all the details from Celine. Fasten your seatbelt.”

And as usual, when Astrid said that, she sped up driving. What was supposed to be a half hour drive for us turned into only about ten minutes, including the parking.

We went straight to the restaurant we often go to and because Christine reserved, someone assisted us to the VIP floor, which is on the second floor.

“They said the VIP room was full, so they just brought us here.” Christine said when we sat down.

We ordered food first. While the two ordered, I looked at the menu to see what I could order. I grinned as I observed that their sushi is now accessible, but I am unable to eat raw foods currently. I need to take care of my pregnancy. I want my baby to stay safe.

“Celine, are you still ordering the same thing?” Christine asked me.

“But don’t order sushi, I already ordered a platter of sushi.” Astrid said.

I smiled at the two before looking at the server, who was waiting for my order. “Uh, your Caesar salad is fresh vegetables, right?”

“Yes, ma’am. All the food we will serve is fresh delivery, from meat, seafood, vegetables and fruits.”

“That’s good to hear that. Uh, so. I would like to order a mushroom creamy soup but make sure the broth is fresh milk. Vegetable salad, but don’t add any sauce. For the spaghetti, please use vegetable oil. That’s all.” I said, then I returned the menu.

“How about a drink, ma’am?”

“Ah, yes. I would like two glasses of fresh orange juice.”

The server repeated our orders before she left.

Once I look at the two, I see their raised eyebrows, relaxed upper eyelids, and jaws, as if they are confused while looking at me.

“What was that?” Astrid was the first to react. “What are your orders–I mean, there’s nothing wrong with what you ordered, they’re all healthy foods. But are you on a diet or something?”

Christine seized a loud intake of breath before asking. “Are you pregnant, Celine?”

I nodded and smiled. “Yes. I am four weeks pregnant.”

“Oh, my gosh!” At the same time Astrid’s hand flew to her mouth, her eyes turned red because of her tears. “Congratulations. I’m so happy for you and Lance.”

“Congratulations Celine. My second child will have a playmate soon. I’m so happy for you.”

I became emotional and teary-eyed by their reaction. The sheer happiness in their expressions is undeniable, a stark contrast to the lackluster reactions I received the day before.
