Chapter 1055
After Gloom said his piece to James, he left as quickly as he came.Maxine stayed silent until Gloomwas completely out of sight.Then, she asked, "Are we still returning to Cansington?"
"Yeah." James nodded.
Tiara’s pregnancy was an important matter that he wanted to confirm with his own eyes.
If he held it off, James did not think he would be able to sleep soundly at night.
Maxine’s eyes crinkled as she smiled knowingly.
"Love is a trivial matter.The country’s affairs are much more important.Didn’t you hear Gloom say thatyou should act quickly and deal with Mr.Gabriel as soon as possible?"
James’ lips curved into a frown and he asked, "Then, should we immediately go for Mr.Gabriel? I hadplanned to get rid of his closest companions first."
"Don and Maxine shut down his idea immediately and said, "Your ultimate target is Mr.Gabriel, notMadelyn.If you eliminate Madelyn first, you'll end up giving Mr.Gabriel a heads-up.He’ll then be able totake precautions against any following attacks.I suggest that we strike immediately and catch him offguard." James pensively rubbed his chin.
Maxine’s proposal had valid points.
However, he was still worried.
Mr.Gabriel was not fighting alone, he represented a whole faction.
The severe chain reaction that could be caused by his death might be extremely severe.novelbin
James took a deep breath and put the problem aside for the time being.He said, "I'll call Tiara first toinquire about the pregnancy."
Maxine made a gesture telling him to go ahead.
James took out his phone, searched for Tiara’s number, and made the call.
Soon, someone picked up the call.
"James."
A cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Uhm, Tiara..."
James could not help but feel nervous when he heard Tiara’s voice.He wanted to ask about thepregnancy but did not know where to start.иσν???вσσк.￠σмHis throat quickly dried up so he ended uptaking a big gulp of saliva as he prepared to speak.
"H-How are you?"
"Good.I’m good."
Tiara’s sweet voice answered nonchalantly.
"I’m staying at Cynthia’s place right now.Don’t worry about me, and go ahead with your big plans!"Tiara said with a lighthearted chuckle.
James hesitated for a bit before he finally summoned the courage and dragged the pressing questionhe had out of his throat.
"A-Are you pregnant?"
Maxine burst out laughing when she saw James’ expression.He was so nervous and chose his wordsso carefully that he seemed like a child who was trying to explain their mistake.
James ignored Maxine and walked away with his phone in hand.
On the other side of the phone, Tiara replied hesitantly, "D-Didn’t I tell you about it a month ago? Haveyou really forgotten that quickly?"
James felt like a huge boulder was weighing down on his body.It made it hard for him to breathe.
"O-Okay, that’s all I wanted to confirm with you.A-Anyway, you should take care."
James stammered a few courteous words and quickly ended the call.
Tiara stood outside the door of Cynthia’s villa in Cansington.Her beautiful face was wrinkled with guiltafter she heard the sound of James hanging up.
She muttered quietly, "J-James, I-I didn’t want to lie to you, but Maxine told me to..."
She sighed as soon as she said those words to herself.
