NovelOnlineChapter 1383: With that smoky smell clinging to them, Phoebe and Jacob knew Bryan would have shown them the door. A flush crept up Eileen's cheeks. "Is it really that extreme?" Bailee leaned in, her voice soft but certain. "It is. Mom mentioned that ever since Bryan learned of your pregnancy, he has been very careful. She only realized it when she noticed the floor wax at hhad been switched to a non-slip one, your slippers had been replaced, and even the food and drinks were being chosen with extra care." Eileen blinked, caught off guard. She hadn't noticed these things at all. Ruby had only pieced it together gradually. At first, Ruby had thought Gabriela had been the reason for these changes, but when she learned Eileen was pregnant, it all made sense.
Eileen thought of something, and she frowned slightly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough she and Ruby hadn't explicitly communicated not to tell Bailee about her pregnancy, she felt it was a mutual understanding.
"When did you find out about my pregnancy?" Eileen asked Bailee.
Bailee smiled gently. "I've known for a while now. The last tI went hfor dinner, something felt off, so I asked Mom. She toldeverything. It's good news, Eileen. Why would you keep it from me?" "I wasn't keeping it from you," Eileen said, her tone apologetic. "I just didn't get the right chance to tell you that." Bailee waved off the concern. "No need to worry. I'm not as sensitive as you think. Huey always says that even if we have a baby, I'll still be his priority. Children grow up and move on, but he'll be by my side for life. As long as he's there for me, I'll be fine." Read more chapters at gVlnovlsBailee knew Huey had said those words to comfort her.
But what reassured her wasn't just what Huey had said—it was the way he had acted, caring for her deeply.
Eileen couldn't help but smile. "Well, look at that. The food's here! Let's eat while it's still warm. And if we've got tafter lunch, why don't we go shopping? The weather's getting warmer-it's the perfect chance to buy snew clothes for Mom." "Sounds great," Bailee agreed, having wrapped up her work early to join them for lunch.
After their meal, Phoebe decided to tag along for their shopping expedition.
As they strolled through the bustling streets, memories of their last shopping trip in Wist Land surfaced. They managed to find two lovely outfits for Ruby before venturing into a high-end men's store.
The shop boasted two distinct styles-mature and sporty-catering perfectly to their varied tastes.
Bailee's eyes lit up as she spotted a sleek black sportswear set, perfect for Huey. But as her fingers grazed the fabric, a stern-faced clerk materialized beside her, saying sharply, "Do not touch the merchandise!"
"I think this sportswear looks pretty nice. I'd like to check what material it is made of," Bailee said running her fingers lightly ove over the fabric. She noticed the sales assistant's expression tighten and asked, "Is something wrong?"
The sales assistant, looking uneasy, shot a quick glance at the store manager before saying, "This item has already been set aside for a ΕΠ client who requested that no one else touch it. That's why we use gloves when we touch it and treat it with care."
Bailee quickly pulled her hands back and said, "I'm sorry; I didn't know. No m worries. How about leave my contact details? If the customer decides not to take it because I touched it, just letknow, and I'll buy it."
