Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 161

Marion was always carefree. Suddenly, she remembered her child at home.

She pulled Reese aside by his sleeve and whispered, "Have the housekeeper take our kid to my mom's place. My pregnancy was around the same time as Angeline's. Since Angeline lost her child, I don't want her to feel sad seeing mine."

"Brilliant idea, my dear!" Reese praised Marion.

While chatting with her seniors, Angeline received a call from James. He asked her and Gregory to head to the auditorium first.

After hanging up, Angeline said, "I'll go ahead then."

"Okay! You may go with Gregory first. We'll change and come soon," Marion responded.

Gregory was on his way to the venue but was delayed because he ran into Angeline.

"Alright," Angeline nodded.

While walking with Angeline, Gregory hesitated but asked, "I heard from my cousin that he saw you in Krontos with a young girl by your side."

Angeline didn't mind Gregory's question and smiled at him.

"What about it?"

Gregory felt embarrassed and scratched his head.

"Sorry, Angeline. I was just curious. I admit Ned asked me to inquire, but I won't tell him! It's just that..."

"It's okay," Angeline replied generously, smiling at Gregory.

"The child isn't his! I've said from the beginning that the child isn't his."

Gregory nodded.

"Alright, I won't gossip about it."

The wind blew, rustling the leaves.

Gregory and Angeline walked side by side. Gregory felt the silence was too awkward, so he scratched his head and searched for a topic.

"By the way, the Oceanford graduate swimming team will compete with our team this afternoon. Do you want to go watch?"

"I'd rather not," Angeline said.

"I'm heading back to Oceanford this afternoon."
