The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 886

Mya got a bit scared when she saw Fred looking all serious. She tried to act like she didn't hear him, hoping he would drop the whole thing if she stayed quiet. But Fred wasn't planning to let her off easy.

Curled up in the corner, Mya looked a bit silly. Fred lifted her shirt and saw the soft parts spilling over her pants. He'd seen different kinds of people before, some thin and some with curves, but Mya was a bit plumper than the others.

"Your family feeds you well, huh?" Fred remarked, eyeing her figure. Mya showed no signs of illness.

Mya proudly puffed out her chest. "Of course! I have like five servings of Mediterranean rice every day. These curves are all thanks to the amazing cooking at Madelyn's house. Too bad Madelyn's husband, the big jerk, doesn't let me eat there anymore. He says I eat too much."

Fred could not believe how oblivious Mya was. She didn't catch the hint about her weight or the subtle digs at her smarts. At first, he thought she might have some secret agenda in getting close to him. However, as he got to know her better, Fred figured out that Mya was truly naive and dim-witted.

Fred's deputy interrupted, "Sir, rush hour is starting. We might hit some traffic."

"Is your stomach still hurting?" Fred asked Mya, his brows knitting together.

Feeling the shift in Fred's mood, Mya swiftly hid her smile and retreated a bit.

"I'm fine now. Could you drop me home?" Mya said timidly, looking down and fiddling with her index finger.

"Why the hurry?" asked Fred.

"I got yelled at by my mom for getting home late last time. I gotta make it before it gets dark," Mya explained, holding her belly as a twinge of pain zipped through. She toughed it out without letting it show.

"Did you take pill last time?" Fred asked, referring to contraception.
