Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Mr. Austin’s Request

The sleek car soon came to a smooth stop in front of the grand Shanks family estate, its imposing gates gleaming softly under the evening lights. At the entrance, Madam Tina was already waiting patiently, her warm smile lighting up her face as the vehicle pulled up.

As Lilian and Rina stepped out onto the polished driveway, Madam Tina immediately reached out, taking Lilian’s hand in hers with a tenderness that felt both familiar and strangely new. “You little rascal,” she said with a teasing grin, “why have you been avoiding me for so long? I’ve missed you.”

Lilian returned the smile gently, though a faint shadow lingered in her eyes. “I’m sorry. Things have been so hectic lately that I just haven’t had the chance to come by.”

Despite the genuine warmth radiating from Madam Tina, Lilian found herself hesitating to fully embrace it. Her teacher had always been kind, but after the bitter betrayals she’d endured in her past life, hope felt fragile, almost dangerous to hold onto.

Rina, sensing the subtle tension, slipped her arm through her mother’s and gave Lilian a playful nudge. “Mom, I’ve finally figured it out—you completely forget your real daughter the moment Lilian walks in.”

Madam Tina laughed heartily, flicking Rina’s forehead in mock reprimand. “Jealous, are you?” Then, turning back to Lilian, she continued brightly, “I know how busy you are, my dear. By the way, I’ve been taking the wellness supplements from Skyreach Group ever since they launched. I’ve stuck with them faithfully, and honestly, I feel more energized every day. Even my skin looks better! All my friends keep asking what I’m doing, and I tell them straight up. Now, they’re all loyal customers too.”

Lilian smiled warmly, grateful for the endorsement. “Thank you for your support. Everything has settled down now. But… ma’am, did you know you’re pregnant?”

She had noticed it the moment she laid eyes on Madam Tina—the subtle glow, the faint change in her posture.

Madam Tina’s hand froze in Lilian’s grasp, her eyes wide with disbelief. “Lilian, what did you just say?”

Rina’s face lit up with excitement, her voice barely a whisper. “Wait—Lilian, are you saying Mom’s really pregnant? Is it true?”

Lilian nodded gently. “Yes, it’s true. It’s still very early, so it’s not visible yet, but if you go to the hospital for a checkup soon, they’ll confirm it.”

At that moment, Mr. Austin and Houston descended the stairs, catching the tail end of the conversation.

Houston hurried over, his voice filled with hope. “Lilian, is that really true?”

Mr. Austin’s expression was tense as he scrutinized Lilian’s face.

“Yes,” Lilian confirmed softly. “She really is pregnant.”

Houston’s composure broke, tears welling as he wrapped his arms tightly around his wife. “Tina, did you hear that? You’re pregnant—really pregnant!”

Madam Tina’s eyes shimmered with tears as she nodded, almost in disbelief. “Yes… I’m pregnant. After all these years, it’s finally happened.”

More than a decade of trying had left her resigned to the impossible, never daring to dream this moment would come.

Mr. Austin clapped Houston on the back with a grin. “What’s all this fuss? Your wife’s pregnant—so be gentle with her!”
