The Rejected True Heiress (Liora and Callum) novel Chapter 372

Liora’s POV

“Pregnant?”

The word squeaked out of me, high pitched and weak, before I could stop myself, making a few nearby students glance my way in confusion. Marissa and her girlfriend both gave me an apologetic look the moment they saw my reaction.

“I’m sorry,” Marissa said quickly. “It’s just a rumor, anyway.”

I cleared my throat and forced down the feelings that threatened to bubble to the surface. No. I was not going to get upset over this. If Callum and Bianca were back together, and she was going to have a child, then that was their problem. If anything, it should have come as a relief to me. It meant that that door was officially closed and there was no opening it again and I could finally move on without any qualms.

But no matter how hard I tried, there was still a little voice in the back of my head whispering: “Why did it have to be her?”

As if on cue, the professor walked in, a little breathless. “Sorry I’m late,” she said, setting her briefcase on her desk. “Meeting ran late.”

The students settled in. Grateful for the distraction, I opened my notebook and resolved to let this whole thing be an after-class-Liora problem. The professor walked over to the chalkboard and began to write.

“Your midterm project will be done in groups this semester,” the professor explained. “Since we’ve spent the first half of the semester focusing on native plants and their purposes, I’ve decided to frame your projects around that subject.”

The professor went on to explain that each group would be expected to locate at least two plants that were native to our region and attempt to splice them together to create a new plant. We were expected to write a paper on the process and give a presentation.
