Chapter 112 What a Small World
The wet clothes splashed by Cherry and the sensitive period of pregnancy caused Cynthia’s body to be much weaker than usual. Helen picked one of the maternity clothes they had bought and let Cynthia go to the bathroom to change.
The maternity dress was just suitable for a pregnant woman in the early stages of pregnancy like Cynthia. Then she took the dress to the bathroom of the shopping mall.
After changing clothes in the cubicle, Cynthia heard a girl in a pink coat beside her calling on the phone while. she was washing her hands, and the girl’s voice was impatient. “It’s not a date today at all. He asked me out. to tell me he had been in love with a girl… He’s not bad. A handsome and gentlemanly man. He has a good job… Yes, I kinda like him, but he doesn’t like me.”
Cynthia was not far away from the girl, and she could hear the angry female voice shouting on the phone. “Why not fight for it? Your father managed to get you this marriage with great difficulty. He is really an excellent man with the best looks and temper. What’s more, he made remarkable achievements at such a young age. You have to know the opportunity seldom knocks twice.”
The woman on the other end of the phone kept harping on it, and the girl had no choice but to promise her mother. “I know, mom. I will try my best to fight for it. But he looks very independent and decisive. I’m afraid
his family can’t force him to do anything.”
After hanging up the phone, the girl tidied her hair and happened to meet Cynthia’s eyes when she turned her head. Then she paused and asked, “Why are you staring at me? Is there something wrong?”
Only then did Cynthia realize that she had unknowingly stared at the girl for a long time out of her nosiness.
“Ah, sorry. I didn’t mean it.” She apologized quickly.
The girl, with round cheeks and round eyes, looked cute and good-tempered. Undoubtedly, she was a
much-loved girl in her family.
She smiled. “Never mind!”
After speaking, she left directly.
Cynthia smiled and shook her head, thinking of women’s curiosity about gossip. After washing her hands,
she returned to the coffee shop where Helen and Alice were waiting.
As soon as she came out, Cynthia saw the girl in the pink coat trotting to the front of a man and saying with a sweet and lovely smile, “I’m sorry, Dylan. You must be waiting for so long.”
The man in a black overcoat was straight, tall, and thin. Although Cynthia didn’t see his face, she was sure at
a glance that he was Helen’s boyfriend, Dylan Carter.
Cynthia couldn’t help but wonder why he went shopping with that girl.
Thinking of that girl’s words just now, Cynthia couldn’t help but guess that she was Dylan’s fiancée, making
her feel worried about Helen.
“What a small world!”
Cynthia sighed. When she looked at the positions of the two, Cynthia paused and quickly realized Helen was
in the café not far behind them.
It would not be good if Helen saw them.
Cynthia hurriedly walked towards the coffee shop, Halfway through the walk, she saw Helen coming out of the shop. Nerves went through her. She couldn’t let them meet each other at such a time.
Cynthia quickened her pace and almost trotted to the door of the coffee shop. She bent down, gasped for a few quick breaths, and hurriedly pulled Helen inside.
“I’m… I’m back.”
Helen frowned, stretched out her hand to caress Cynthia’s back to ease her breathing, and blamed her. “You’ve been in the bathroom for so long, and I was going to look for you. But you don’t have to run so fast.
Don’t forget you are still pregnant, and the floor is slippery. Alston will not let go of Alice and me if you
accidentally get hurt.”
“Got it. Got it!” Cynthia shook her hand comfortingly. “I’m an obstetrician, and I know my condition.”
Helen snorted coldly, “Everyone who drowns can swim. I don’t think everything will go well just because you
are an obstetrician. Are there few fractures among our orthopedic doctors?”
Alice, sipping her coffee, smiled when she heard it, and her charming eyes curled up, “Cynthia, this time I’m
on Helen’s side.”
Cynthia smiled, “Alright. Alright. I will amble in the future, okay?”
After speaking, she glanced outside and saw Dylan and his fiancée had left. Then she was relieved.
Helen kept telling her to be careful and not pay attention to her expression, but Alice did. When Helen went to check out, Alice grabbed Cynthia’s sleeve and asked, “What happened just now? What are you hiding from
us?”
“What?” Cynthia pretended to be confused.
