"Mrs. Johnson, that's what Maria told us to call you." The servant retired congratulatively.
Violet scratched her brow helplessly and sat down on the couch.
Tick, a message comes in on the phone.
Violet glanced at the message, which was from Josie.
"Violet, are you really staying at the Johnson Manor tonight?"
Violet pursed her lips and typed a line, "I wanted to come back, but was too embarrassed to brush Maria off."
"Forget it, you'd better not come back, Austin is stuck to our apartment like a dog's paw." Josie shot back.
Violet froze, "He followed you to the apartment to take care of you?"
"Who needs his care? I'm not sick, it's just a miscarriage. But he's so persistent, I can't get rid of him."
Josie's words are full of dislike.
Violet curled her lips, thinking that this was probably the turning point for Josie and Austin.
Austin is supposed to get back together with Josie.
"A miscarriage is the equivalent of having a Moon child, you can't be sloppy. I'm not home, so let him take good care of you."
Instead of continuing the conversation, Josie asked, "Violet, is it true that that Hendrix is Louis pretending to be him? How well intentioned he is."
Violet pursed her lips, "What good intentions? He's cheating."
"Hey, hey, I'm on his side this time. Even if it's a deception, it's still a good lie. He wants to approach you as a civilian to make you fall in love with him before he tells you the truth. Wow, I didn't expect Mr. Johnson to be so deep-hearted."
Violet: ""
This woman definitely read too many romance dramas.
How else can you brainstorm so many plays?
Violet laughed, "Stop, I'm curious now, how is he so well-informed? Who told him I was pregnant?"
On the other end of the line, Josie sat up in bed and blinked at the phone.
Yes!
Louis is also too well-informed.
Who told him that?
"Are you hungry? The soup is ready, do you want to drink it now?"
The bedroom door is pushed open and Austin walks in with his apron around him.
The tall, leggy man, surrounded by an apron with lace, is inexplicably delightful.
