The Best Friend's Contract novel Chapter 86

Diana hugs me tightly, ''I heard that you two were in Paris. Was it for your honeymoon?'' Her eyes wander to Aidan who has let out a chuckle as he rubs onto my back, leaving me to grin; not knowing what to say but only smile at her statement. ''Well . . . come on in, I need to continue making my pie.'' She adds.

''I can help,'' I assure.

She looks back at me before smiling at Aidan, ''Come on, then.''

I glance back at Aidan for a short couple of seconds as I make my way towards the kitchen, being reminded of when Aidan and I were younger and how we used to sneak in the kitchen for some late night snacks. It was an unforgettable memory and it was worth thinking.

My eyes wander around the kitchen before landing on Diana again, who seems to have been staring at me ever since I got here. ''How are things with Aidan? Has he been treating you well?'' She asks, leaving me speechless at her sudden questions.

''Things are going great and he has never treated me wrong,'' I reply and she smiles, nodding her head; somehow satisfied at my answer.

''I'm glad . . . it's been, what? Three months?''

''Almost four,'' I answer.

To my surprise, I find Aidan and Alain walking out behind the house, making me eye them from the window in the kitchen—seeing them laughing as they talk about a few things. My lips curve up into a smile at the sight of them, remembering back how Aidan used to complain about Alain getting much more amount of attention yet they are still never apart.

''Where's Mia?'' I ask, realising that I didn't see her earlier. Harley was also nowhere to be found and I'm only guessing that she's still at the office; well, Harley and I are workaholics, there's nothing to change.

Diana closes the fridge, ''Mia and Tony will be here soon. She seemed like she wanted to tell me about something but she also told me to wait . . . do you have any idea what it might be?'' She asks, making me clear my throat before shaking my head; putting on the perfect act.

''Uh . . . no clue,''

The next hour was spent helping Diana with the large amount of food and her homemade pie, a family recipe that I've been tasting for years ever since I became involved in Aidan's life. She has always been a great cook, just like Aidan and her cookings have always somehow been one of my favourites . . . after my mum's cookings, of course.

''Kenna!'' Mia exclaims as she pulls me in for a hug, causing me to chuckle.

''Glad you could make it, sweetheart.'' Diana says as they both pull each other in for a hug, leaving me to eye them. ''Where's Tony?'' She asks.

''I would never miss it for the world, mother. Tony's outside with Alain and Aidan . . . who can't seem to stop talking about work.'' Mia replies before turning towards me, ''Don't you feel bored with my brother? I'm sure he has nothing to talk about but only about work,''

''Actually . . . he doesn't talk about work with me,'' I reply and Diana smiles, slowly followed by Mia who seems to be giving me a wink.

Diana walks out of the kitchen as she starts to call out for Alain, leaving Mia and I by ourselves. She walks closer towards me before clearing her throat, ''I'm thinking on telling them later. I mean, I can't hide it forever, right? Sooner or later, everything will start to fall into place and it's better if I be the one to tell rather than them finding out from someone else,'' She says.

''That's great. I'm sure they'll support you through it,'' I reply.

''Well . . . mother and Harley might but I'm not very sure about father and Alain. For now, I only have you and Aidan's support—which is enough for me but I'm terrified of Alain. What if he kills me?'' She whispers, laughing afterwards. ''Aidan didn't flip much because you were there but Harley's not here . . . there's a high chance I might die, today.''

''Don't sweat much, Mia. Just remember that I'll always be here to help you,'' My hand grabs onto hers, gripping tightly as she grips back; smiling at me.

''Maybe, being pregnant is really messing up with my hormones. I truly understand how Harley felt when she was pregnant with Ava because I'm currently pregnant and I'm feeling the same way!'' Mia says as I look behind her to see Diana and Alain standing with wide eyes, causing Mia to turn around; muttering a curse under her breath.

The four of us end up staring at each other while I hold in my breath, somehow afraid of this thing going sour. By the look on Alain's face, I can see him clenching his jaw and his fists before closing his eyes—letting out a deep breath but as for Diana, she seems to be in shock, as she covers her mouth with her hand.

''Oh, shit.'' Mia sighs.
