Chapter 291: A Hidden Secret Unveiled
Julia was discreetly taking folic acid tablets!
Vivien’s
eyes
widened dramatically, filled with astonishment.
Julia was pregnant?!
Vivien’s gaze locked onto Julia’s belly, studying it intensely.
Julia was indeed expecting, and she had concealed it from everyone.
“Hmm! Whose child is she carrying?”
Indeed!
Vivien felt compelled to inform Carter about this immediately.
She was certain that once he learned of Julia’s pregnancy, he would never want to associate with her again.
With this thought in mind, Vivien promptly sent a message to Carter.
“Carter, I just saw Julia at the café.”
Carter responded, “Did you two have another argument?”
“No, Julia didn’t see me. I merely observed her taking folic acid.”
Upon reading this message, Carter was momentarily taken aback.
During this time, Vivien had been diligently taking folic acid herself. He couldn’t possibly be unaware of the purpose behind folic acid.
Julia was pregnant!
Carter’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and the unsettling feeling in his heart grew exponentially.
If-
He used the word “if,” but if things had gone smoothly back then, he and Julia would have been married by now, and she would have been expecting his child. Yet now, Julia was carrying another man’s baby.
Vivien also shared this information with Lilian.
Lilian’s face contorted in disgust upon hearing it.
“This Julia, who knows whose child she’s carrying? It’s repulsive. It’s a good thing Carter kicked her out of the house earlier. Otherwise, who knows, she might have already made a cuckold out of him.”
“You’ve behaved much better, Vivien, understanding the importance of maintaining your purity,” Lilian commented, beaming while gently touching Vivien’s belly.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the city lights began to illuminate the evening.
Carter had consumed a considerable amount of alcohol at the dinner party, and his stomach churned uncomfortably.
“Sir, are you alright? Do you need assistance getting home?” a waiter inquired.
Carter waved his hand dismissively, saying, “No, thank you. I’ll call someone to pick me up.”
With that, Carter retrieved his phone and found Vivien’s number at the top of his contacts. After hesitating for a moment, he didn’t dial her number but scrolled further down.

Eventually, he reached Julia’s contact. Sighing heavily, he placed the call.
Buzz, buzz, buzz–The phone vibrated, and the ringtone began. Just as Jared entered Julia’s room, he heard the phone ringing. Approaching the bed, he spotted the caller ID on Julia’s phone.
One prominent word: “Carter.”
Jared’s expression gradually turned icy, and he reached for the phone. However, just as he was about to answer it, Julia, wrapped in a towel, emerged from the bathroom.
“You-” Julia was taken aback.
When she had gone in for a shower earlier, she had forgotten to bring her pajamas, forcing her to step out wrapped in a towel.
She hadn’t anticipated seeing Jared in her room the moment she emerged, holding her phone. “Your phone,” Jared handed the device to Julia, adding, “It’s Carter calling.”
Hearing this, Julia couldn’t help but roll her
“Why didn’t you answer it?”
“You answer it,” Jared replied.
eyes.
Julia let out a sigh and accepted the phone from Jared’s hand. She activated the speaker mode to ensure Jared didn’t misconstrue her intentions.
Moments later, Carter’s slightly intoxicated voice resonated through the phone.
“Do you have a moment right now? I’ve had a bit too much to drink. Could you come and pick me up?”
