Chapter 992 He Was Jealous
Leia touched her belly and said coquettishly, "This is your grandson. We have to at least wait until he’sborn..."
After three months, her pregnancy was deemed stable but she was still very cautious. She did notallow Brody to touch her even when he wanted to, so she was not willing to take the risk with Julius aswell.
The Hilton family only agreed to let join their family because of Brody's persuasion and the role thatJulius played. He had persuaded Tania to agree to the marriage by bringing up the baby.
Leia, on the other hand, had used herself to persuade Julius.
Men like him looked like great husbands on the surface, but in fact, he had cheated on Tania behindher back more than once. All she needed to do to win him over was to go along with his likes.
Julius's gaze was aggressive as the corners of his mouth curved into a lazy smile. He did not careabout the baby at all. "I’ve been waiting for too long." "Can I interest you in other offerings for the timebeing? What do you think of Zoe? She's a new model who’s highly in demand." Although Leia was nolonger in Hollywood, she was well aware of the current happenings.
Julius thought about it for a while. Considering that it would be a while until Leia could give birth to thebaby and how it would be nice to enjoy a younger model, he nodded and said, "Make sure that myidentity is kept hidden."
In recent years, Tania had taken charge of the company. It was not that he did not want the power butdoing so would mean that it would be difficult to keep this side of him hidden. He needed anonymity forthe womanizer lifestyle that he enjoyed "I will." Leia touched her belly habitually. From the time she
started using the child in her belly as a bargaining chip, she had become accustomed to this motion. Itwas a reminder that her life was about to change for the better.
Seeing that they were done talking, Julius turned around and intended to head out.
Leia grabbed him and said, "I've been out for a long time, so I'll head back first. Wait at least tenminutes before you go back."
Julius nodded, took out a cigarette, and they left the nursing room. They walked in opposite directions.After smoking a cigarette, Julius returned to the room.
The waiter served the dishes one after another.
After the two families had lunch, they were done with small talk and went straight into talking about thewedding.
After talking about the overall theme, they moved on to talk about the banquet.
Queenie offered to pay for half of the wedding and went along with everything that Tania said.
Leia listened to Tania while holding Brody's hand the entire time. She was smiling faintly, but she wasfeeling upset.
Queenie only offered to pay out of politeness, but Tania just went along with it.
Traditionally, the man's side of the family would pay for the wedding. Her own family paying for thewedding would cause her to lose her dignity in front of her friends.novelbin
The hotel where the wedding would be held was equally important as well.
The Hiltons were wealthy enough to get a six-star hotel to hold the wedding. However, they ended upwith an ordinary local five-star hotel.
Leia was more furious the more she listened, but she could not interrupt them to express herdissatisfaction. She thought about it and decided to make Brody compensate her in other ways.
Tania glanced at her and said, "Now that Leia's belly is so big, she won't look as nice wearing awedding dress, nor would it be a good idea to stress her out. Should we set a date after the child isborn and after she gets enough rest?" "No." Leia was anxious and raised her objection without waitingfor others to speak.
Everyone stared at her.
Leia was embarrassed and realized that she was a little too loud, which may arouse people's suspicionas to why she was reacting so strongly against it. She immediately returned to normal, smiled sweetly,and grabbed Brody's hand. "I can't wait to be Brody's wife. It's not a problem. We just need to get abigger size for the wedding dress. We can simplify the wedding ceremony so that I won't be tired."
In any case, she could not afford to postpone the wedding until after the child was born. If the child wasdeformed, the Hilton family would change their minds and not allow them to get married. She wanted tomake sure that their wedding was held as soon as possible.
"I think it's better to hold the wedding before the child is born too." Queenie agreed. She and Jackwanted the same thing. They wanted to avoid rumors about the shotgun marriage.
Tania smiled and understood their intentions. She nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll have thiswedding soon. It may be a little rushed." "It’s okay, I'm more than happy to keep it simple," Leia saidthoughtfully. She was willing to sacrifice the grand wedding she had always wanted to avoid a potentialdelay.
After they covered all grounds, Brody and Leia's wedding was in motion.
The two families sat together and caught up for a little. Aside from talking about the wedding, Taniashowed her interest in Bianca and kept talking to her.
Bianca, who had planned to keep quiet, was forced to talk to Tania with a smile on her face. Leia'sjealousy started raging once more when she saw how the two were being so friendly.
After the meal, Bianca left with her parents.
After returning to the office, Bianca and Sue had a short meeting with Shireen. After discussing theirnext steps, the meeting was adjourned.
Sue did not leave and sat opposite Bianca. She checked in with her on Nina, ' Ms. Rayne, how's Ms.Langdon?" "She was discharged from the hospital today. She should be fine." After Sue mentionedNina, Bianca wondered what Nina was up to.
"I’m glad to hearthat." Sue nodded and noticed that she was somewhat absent-minded. ’When will Mr.Crawford be back?" "That’s uncertain yet. Why? Do you miss Mr. Doyle?" Bianca teased Sue. Jasonhad gone along with Luke on this business trip, and the two of them were occupied with work everyday.
Before he went off, Jason had asked Bianca for a favor to monitor Sue so that she would not workovertime. Teri and Kari would feel more at ease if she got back home earlier.
After receiving his message, Bianca knew that Jason and Sue’s relationship had eased a little.
"Me? Miss him? I think you're going crazy missing Mr. Crawford." Sue looked around the officecasually, trying to act natural.
Bianca saw that she was uncomfortable with the topic and did not say anything else. "They'll probablystay in New York for a few more days."
Sue picked up the tablet, stood up, and said, "Okay, I'll continue with my work." "Okay." Bianca movedher mouse. After Sue left, she picked up her phone and sent Jason a text. [Mr. Doyle, Sue misses you.]
After she sent it, she put down her phone with a smile. Sue had some feelings for Jason, but she hadalways been a strong woman and was accustomed to hiding her true feelings.
If she did not tell him that, Jason would never know. Hence, Bianca took the initiative to act as amessenger.
What she hoped most was that the people she loved were happy.
She hoped the same for Nina and Sue.
Bianca's phone rang. She picked it up curiously and saw a message from Luke.
[Why are you texting other men?] She read the text and laughed as she knew he was jealous. Itseemed that Luke and Jason were still working overtime, and that was how he knew she texted Jason.
