Chapter 180
Sally quickly added, "Since you've already met, that's even better. Miranda, this is Linda.
"This is Miranda," Sally introduced.
Linda carefully examined Miranda, her expression turning somewhat grim as she suddenly realized, "Sally, could this be... the girl who captured Nash's heart?"
She had thought Sally would accept her child and, by extension, accept her as well. But she had obviously been mistaken.
Miranda rather liked being addressed this way and amiably responded, "Hello there. Sally has already told me about you, and she said you're carrying Nash's child and taking care of it at home." Linda had concerns and instinctively covered her stomach, fearing that they might harm her child.
Miranda sensed her worry and reassured her, "You don't need to be afraid. Since it's Nash's child, I'll naturally treat it well. You don't have to worry. Once you give birth, things will only get better." Linda wasn't sure and asked, "Will you really let me have the baby?"
Miranda spoke gently, "I keep my word. If you don't trust me, trust Sally. This is her grandson. She wouldn't harm him."
Sally was certainly going to keep this child and said, "Linda, rest assured and take care of the baby. Miranda is almost like my own daughter."
Despite these assurances, Linda still felt uneasy inside.
Since Miranda was Nash's beloved, Linda worried that she might steal him away.
Nina left but Miranda came. Linda realized that nothing changed.
However, when she saw Sally warmly welcoming Miranda, Linda noticed that Sally seemed more pleased with Miranda's presence than with hers. She dared not speak any further and made an excuse, "Sally, I'm tired. I'll go to my room to rest."
Sally didn't notice Linda's thoughts and replied, "Alright, you go upstairs then."
Miranda watched Linda walk away and only spoke when she was out of sight, "This girl is young and somewhat resembles me."
"I think so too," Sally speculated, then added, "They say Nash was drunk that night, calling out your name, which gave this girl a chance to get pregnant... Nash hasn't forgotten you. He's seeking out girls who resemble you."
"Is that really true?" Miranda felt pleased.
"It's true. When have I ever lied to you? Especially about something like this," Sally assured her.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
So, that was it. Miranda felt a twinge
of regret. If only she had returned earlier, maybe she would be the one pregnant now. There would be no Nina in the picture. As long as she had Nash's child, Mrs. York's
position would be hers now.
Sally went to the kitchen to tell the helpers to prepare dinner. Delighted that Miranda had returned, Sally planned to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Miranda deliver it to the hospital later. "Miranda, are you really allowing this woman named Linda to have Mr. York's child?" her assistant worried. "If she does, won't she steal your spotlight? What if Nash marries her?"
The assistant was concerned for Miranda. Miranda smirked coldly, "This girl doesn't come from a good family. How could she possibly marry Nash? She's not going to have Nash's child!" "Then why did you say that in front of Mrs. York?" the assistant asked.
Her eyes turned icy. "If I didn't say that, how could I get Linda to lower her guard?"
She glanced upstairs, having her
own plans. "Nina hasn't divorced Nash yet. Why would I let go of such a valuable pawn like Linda? By accepting her, I'm also accepting his child. By building a good relationship with her, I can control her in the future. Isn't that better?"
