Tristan came out of the shower and found that his wife was already asleep. She was sleeping
soundly, in fact. He leaned down and kissed her lovingly on the forehead.
"Are you that tired? Have a good rest.â;
He slipped under the covers, then enveloped her in his embrace.
Sophie remained asleep. She let out a murmur before settling comfortably in his arms and drifting
back to a peaceful slumber.
The following day, Sophie made arrangements to visit Cecelia. Tristan decided to accompany her to
Cecelia's residence before parting ways with her.
âShall I pick you up at noon?â
âIt's fine. I'll see how Cecelia is doing first. I might have lunch with her.â I haven't seen her in a while
now.
"Okay, then. I won't disturb you two at noon.â Tristan understood that best friends often had things
to discuss, and he didnât want to be a third wheel. âCall me if you need me.â
âI will.â
âGo inside now. I'll leave once I see you're inside.â
"Okay."
Sophie entered the house. Cecelia resided in a villa that her parents had bought for her, and she
had been, living there for a long time. The housekeepers recognized Sophie since she often came to
accompany Cecelia, so they quickly opened the door for her.
âWhere's Cecelia?â
âShe's still sleeping! Ms. Tanner, you study medicine, right? Could you please check on her and see if
anything's wrong? We're not sure if sheâs feeling unwell,â the housekeeper said.
âAll right.â
Sophie went upstairs directly to Ceceliaâs room and found her lying in bed looking pale and
exhausted. The latter was a far cry from the glamorous Cecelia she knew.
Seeing Sophie, Cecelia sat up from the bed.
"Why are you here? I thought you had forgotten about me!â
"How could 1? Are you feeling unwell? You don't look so good,â Sophie said worriedly.
âIt's nothing, Sophie. I...â
Cecelia didn't know how to continue. It was truly difficult to talk about this matter.
"What's wrong? We're best friends, Cecelia. You can tell me anything no matter what trouble you're
facing.â
No matter what kind of trouble Cecelia encountered, Sophie would be there to support her.
âSophie, I'm pregnant.â As an artist under TS Entertainment, Cecelia felt it was necessary to inform
Sophie about it.
Sophie had sensed that something was definitely wrong, but she had never expected such shocking
news.
âIs it Sean's?" I suppose it is given their current state. âDoes he know about it?â
I
"Does it even matter? âIt was just a one-night stand. I have no intention of marrying him.â Cecelia
didn't want to pressure Sean or force him to do anything. Although she had feelings for him, she
wouldn't use this child as leverage.
âWhat are you planning to do, then?â Sophie asked casually with no intention of finding fault with
her. She felt heartbroken for her. After all, she had always known how proud Cecelia was, and she
couldn't imagine Cecelia using a child to manipulate a man
âI want to keep the baby.â
Cecelia had been thinking since she found out about her pregnancy. However, now she only had
one thought in her mind: to give birth to this child.
Sophie remained silent.
Seeing her response, Cecelia lowered her head like a guilty child.
âSophie, I-"
"Cecelia, no matter what decision you make, I will support you. Donât worry, I can afford to raise a
child.â
Tears welled up in Ceceliaâs eyes. Since learning about her pregnancy, she had been unsure about
what to do. She couldn't even tell her parents about it.
Now that she heard what Sophie had said about helping her raise her child, she threw herself into
Sophie's embrace.
"Sophie, you're so kind! If only you were a man,â Cecelia said. If Sophie were a man, she would
marry her without hesitation, and Sean would have no place in their lives.
âAll right, stop crying. It's not good for the baby.â
"Okay."
Sophie stayed with Cecelia at the Lance residence. When it was noon, the housekeepers prepared
lunch
for them.
Cecelia was suffering from severe morning sickness and could only eat a little before vomiting.
Sophie's heart ached when she saw that.
"Sophie, being pregnant is truly challenging. I should listen to my mother and never make her angry
again,â Cecelia said.
âYour parents don't know about this, right? They would be devastated if they found out.â
"Why would they be? They've always wanted a grandchild. I'm just fulfilling their wish.â Cecelia
smiled. She didn't know how to tell her parents, but since things had come to this point, there was
no turning
back.
âYeah, they love you so much. I'm sure they'll understand.â
After finishing their meal, Sophie took Cecelia to the medical association for a thorough
examination to confirm her pregnancy.
Sophie also underwent an examination herself.
When Arius received the results, he was dumbfounded.
Both Sophie and Cecelia were pregnant. He stared at Sophie with suspicion.
âBoth of you are pregnant?â
Is Mr. Tristan that capable? They have only been married for a short
time. How did Sophie get pregnant so quickly? Besides, isn't Cecelia still not married? Moreover,
sheâs a famous actress. What would happen to her career now?
Sophie had a hunch that she might be pregnant, but now as she held the confirmed pregnancy test
results in her hands, her mood was completely different.
âYeah. Well, you're the only one who knows about this, so don't spread it around.â Sophie didn't
want Arius to say anything more.
Then, she dismissed him. Once he left, Cecelia excitedly read the report.
âSophie, are we both pregnant at the same time? Can our children become childhood friends,
then?â Cecelia asked with joy.
"Of course, they can. Remember, now that you've decided to keep the child, you need to take care
of your emotions. Your mood will affect the baby.
âI know. Mr. Tristan doesnât know this good news yet, does he? I won't be joining you. You go ahead
and tell him!"
Sophie must be eager to share this news with Mr. Tristan at this moment. I shouldn't stay here any
longer.
âCecelia! Are you really not going to tell Sean? He has the right to know,â Sophie asked. Regardless
of the circumstances, Cecelia didn't need to go through this alone.
"Sophie, the decision to keep this child is mine alone. He doesn't need to know.â
He only contributed a sperm. He has no say in the fate of this child. Besides, there's no way Sean
would let me keep the child. It's simply impossible.
Sophie held her hand tightly.
âMaybe it's not as bad as you think.â
âI said I don't want him to know.â We don't have anything to do with each other since the
beginning, no?
