Chapter 23
Melissa was curious. “Kelly, what’s it like being pregnant? Does it feel magical?”
Kelly unconsciously placed her hand on herbelly.
It was magical.
She never imagined she would become a mother so soon. Even before deciding to marry Leon, she had considered keeping the baby
She knew that at the time it would have been impossible to keep it under her circumstances. She was isolated, and she still had her studies to complete.
That night, when she decided to get married, she lay in her bed smable to sleep. Her thoughts had turned to her belly
The decision she made didn’t just save her, it saved the baby too. Maybe the baby also wanted to nine into this world.
She whispered, “It feels like there’s someone connected to me by blood
Although Melissa.couldn’t quite understand the feeling just yet, judging by Kelly’s expression, it had to be something pretty great
Just as she was about to say something, her eyes narrowed, and she looked toward someone approaching. With a hint of annoyance, she muttered, “It’s Jude and Celeste ”
Kelly looked up.
Jude and Celeste were walling toward them. Jude was handsome with sharp features, and Celeste was in a white dress, looking like a butterfly fluttering through
To be fair, they did make a good couple.
Those two have been inseparable ever since they started dating. Melissa whispered in Kelly’s ear, clearly annoyed.
“They’re a couple, so it’s normal for them to stick together,” Kelly replied calmly.
Seeing Jude didn’t star anything inside her ammore. Who he dated had nothing to do with her.
As they got closer, Celeste’s voice suddenly rang out. “Hey, Kelly.”
Kelly froze in her tracks and glanced at her.
Holding Jude’s hand, Celeste smiled sweetly, “You should know that Jude and I are together now, right?
Melissa raised an eyebrow, her expression one of disbelief.
jude tugged at Celeste’s sleeve. “What are you doing?”
“Kelly and you used to love a good relationship. You two even studied together at the library. Is it wrong for me to share our good news with her?” Celeste’s voice was sweet, but it made jude feel unable to express his irritation.
She turned back to Kelly with a smile. “Kelly, you’ll wish us happiness, right?”
What seemed like soft words were actually full of boasting and provocation.
Even though Celeste late she was prettier than Kelly, Kelly was better academically. Jude had once wavered between her and Kelly, but it was Celeste who had purbed him. She was the one who kissed him first, and that was when they confirmed their relationship.
However, Kelly had always been a thom in her side, especially recently when Jude had been discussing study matters with her. He had casually asked, “How are you so dumb? Kelly doesn’t need me to teacher”
Even though Jude had apologized sincerely afterward, the words still stu
stung
So today, when she saw Kelly, she couldn’t resist provoking Kelly to show that jude had chosen her.
However, Kelly remained unexpectedly calm. She simply replied, “I know. I wish you both the best
Celeste realized her provocation was unsuccessful
Jude, who stood at the side, couldn’t help but glance at Kelly
Celeste wasn’t giving up. “By the way, next werk is our 50–day anniversary of being together, and I wanted to invite a few friends to celebrate. Are you free on that
Melissa, who overheard this, nearly rolled her eyes.
A 50–day anniversary? How ridiculous.
Unable to stay quiet, Melissa spoke up. “Kelly isn’t free. Let’s see if you can last until your 50th wedding anniversary, and then we’ll go.”
