This time was different from the last. Two bold lines quickly appeared on the pregnancy test stick!
Yes!
Clara rubbed her eyes, even squinting in the light to double-check. She was certain she wasn't mistaken.
So, this meant it was Elio's child. She was actually carrying his baby!
Suddenly, she felt like not only would Sophia scold her, even the housekeeper, but even she herself wanted to chastise her.
How could she have been so reckless?
She had carried the children of two different men!
For a moment, Clara didn't know what to do next.
She stood there, dazed, as if all her senses had shut down, like a zombie.
"Knock knock..."
It was only when Rose's knocking sound came from outside that she snapped back to reality, instinctively hiding the pregnancy test stick away.
"What's the matter? You've been in there forever, and you didn't respond when I called your name. I thought something happened!"
Seeing Clara come out, Rose quickly asked, "What about the pregnancy test? Are you pregnant?"
Clara paused, feeling a bit guilty and shook her head, pretending to be composed, "No... false alarm! Probably just stress messing with my cycle, causing my sickness."
"Ah? Not pregnant?" Rose sounded a bit disappointed, "Did you wait long enough? The clerk told me to wait for five minutes, maybe it didn't show earlier, perhaps it's showing now?"
Clara stiffly pulled a smile, pulling Rose away, "I said I'm not pregnant! Don't you believe me?"
Rose looked disappointed, "It's not that I don't believe you; I just think if you were pregnant, the young master would treat you better. You wouldn't be treated so poorly. Though we've only known each other for a short time, I believe you're a good person and shouldn't be treated this way!"
