Chapter 120 We’re Not That Close
Cecilia invited Lexic to dinner at liome. Lexie specially dressed herself up and changed into a plain dress for autumn
before leaving
Recently, Cecilia had been treating her well, and she pondered that calling her over today should be to discuss her marriage with Joshua.
She drove over and bought some gifts on the way.
After parking the car, she entered the door with Jack, and Cecilia sat on the sofa in the living room waiting for her.
Lexic walked over with an elegant smile. Cecilia, I bought something on the way here…”
“We’re not that close.” Cecilia crossed her legs and flipped through the magazine.
“I was rude. Joshua and I are not married yet. It is indeed too early to change what I call you.”
Lexie was still smiling, but she secretly scolded Cecilia in her heart. “Mrs. Maltz, these are the fruits I bought on the way here. They are from Mexico. Try them.”
Cecilia closed the magazine, but there was no sign of intimacy on her face. “Put it away. This kind of cheap thing may make me feel unwell if I eat it.”
Cecilia’s disgust was so obvious. If Lexie did not understand what she meant, then she was stupid.
Lexie placed the fruit on the table and sat down on the single sofa on Cecilia’s right. “Mrs. Maltz, are you angry with me? I wonder what I did wrong?”
“The person who donated blood to Joshua is not you, right?” Cecilia did not beat around the bush.
Cecilia had already sent someone to investigate this afternoon. On the day of Joshua’s car accident, it was indeed Anaya who rushed to the hospital to give Joshua the blood that he lost.
She never thought that after so many things had happened, Anaya was actually willing to help them…
Thinking of all the things that had happened in the past, Cecilia felt guilty.
But this kind of guilt was instantly gone without a trace.
After Anaya married into the Maltz family, Cecilia treated her well. It should be that Anaya owed her more.
Lexie’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Cecilia’s question, but she quickly calmed down. “Mrs. Maltz, what are you talking about? Joshua has a rare blood type. Besides me, who else can donate blood?”
“You don’t have to lie. I’ve already sent people to investigate. The person who donated blood to Joshua that day was indeed Anaya.
“Lexie, I’ll leave you some dignity. Do you want to tell Joshua yourself, or do you want me to tell him?”
LA Xír reached out to hold Cecilia’s hand. “Mrs. Maltz…”
“Don’t touch me,” Cecilia (lung her away mercilessly. During this period of time, you have been taking care of Joshua with all your heart, and I won’t argue with you about the mistakes you have made.
“As for the marriage between you and Joshua, just cancel it.”
Lexie gripped her plain dress tightly and only loosened it after a long while.
“Mrs. Maliz, have you heard about Anaya’s pregnancy?”
“Pregnant? Are you saying that Anaya is pregnant with Joshua’s child?” Cecilia was stunned, and then her heart began to beat faster. “Are you saying that Anaya is pregnant with Joshua’s child?”
Cecilia seemed to be a little happy.
Ever since Joshua and Anaya got married, she had always wanted to have a grandson. Now that she heard this news, she actually forgot that Anaya had divorced Joshua for a few seconds..
If Anaya was really pregnant with her grandson, she would kick Lexie off and bring Anaya back.
Lexie saw the changes in Cecilia’s emotions and mocked Cecilia in her heart.
Cecilia used to want her son to divorce Anaya, but in the end, she was also indecisive!
“She was indeed pregnant, but she had an abortion. Moreover, this child is not Joshua’s.”
“Whose child is it?” Cecilia’s expression changed drastically.
“It’s Mr. Helms who was on the headline with Anaya. They went to have an abortion half a month ago. Bria and Joshua both know about this.”
“Joshua also knows about this. Why didn’t he tell me?” Cecilia was shocked.
“Who knows? Maybe, as you said, he is still thinking about Anaya and wants to marry her again.”
“How can he do that?” Cecilia slammed the table and stood up. She was completely overwhelmed by anger, not caring what she looked like now. “Anaya slept with others. How could Joshua still want that bitch!”
“So, Cecilia,” Lexie stood up with a smile and said to Cecilia, “don’t hinder my marriage with Joshua..
“If you don’t want the news of your son being cuckolded known to the whole country.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“How could it be? You are my mother-in-law.” Lexie held Cecilia’s hand. Cecilia wanted to pull it away, but Lexie held. it tightly. “Please keep the blood donation secret and don’t let Joshua know.
“You want to save your son’s reputation, and I want to marry him. We shouldn’t cause trouble for each other. Is that okay?”
Cecilia was so angry that her face was livid. In the end, she had no choice but to watch Lexie leave arrogantly.
How could she be deceived by Lexie before?
Lexie dared to threaten her now!
In the past, when Anaya married Joshua, Anaya had always been respectful to her.
If Lexie, such a scheming woman, really married Joshua, what would Cecilia’s life be like?
If she had known this would happen, she would have treated Anaya better back then, giving Lexie no chance.
After the East Boston project was decided, the stock price of Riven Group continued to rise, and Adams recovered day by day.
On this day, Anaya pushed Adams out of the hospital for a walk. She stepped on the ground where there were parasol leaves and returned to the hospital. At the door, she met Silvia, who was walking out.
Anaya hadn’t seen Silvia for a while. Silvia seemed to be thinner as if she would fall at any time.
Ms. Halton, how is your mother recently?” Anaya stopped. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
“It’s been a while since we last met, Ms. Dutt.” Silvia heard Anaya as she was walking. When Silvia heard her voice, Silvia looked at her and revealed a haggard and weak smile. “My mother is preparing for surgery in two months. She should be able to recover soon.”
She tried her best to sound relaxed, but Anaya still noticed the worry in her eyes.
This was a private hospital. The medical resources were top-notch, and the price was not low either.
“Sorry, but have you gathered enough surgery fees?”
Silvia paused and shook her head with a wry smile. “The money I made from the part-time job is not enough…”
Anaya said, “If you don’t mind, I can help you pay first. Last time you suffered because of me, I still owe you a favor.”
“That was just an accident. You don’t owe me anything.” Silvia hesitated for a moment. “Ms. Dutt, if it’s convenient, can you introduce me to a reliable person who buys jewelry? I want to sell my jewelry.”
Anaya guessed that she should be trying to sell the ring that Bryant had given her.
“That ring of yours is worth a lot. Ordinary jewelry businessmen generally don’t accept it. I can contact the people in the auction house for you. It should be able to get a high price. What do you think?”
Silvia hesitated.
Anaya knew her concerns and added, “I can help you contact the auction houses in the neighboring state.”
Bryant shouldn’t be able to find it if it was in another state.
“Thanks.”
“You’re welcome.”
Anaya pushed Adams in, and Adams brought up Aria. “Yesterday, Aria came to the hospital. She said that she wanted to see me and was stopped by my people… Anything happened to her family recently?”
