Quakersville.

“Nina, you can stay here for the time being. This place is empty anyway. I had paid the rent a year in advance. It is

non-refundable, and it is more than a half-year before the due date,” said Avery while clutching Nina's hand.

“Thank you, Avery. I wouldn't know what to do if I don't have you.” Nina was overcome with thankfulness as she

look around the apartment, which just featured a hallway and one bedroom, small but warmly decorated.

At that moment, her mother's focus was all on her brother, Zayne.

She was too busy helping Zayne in establishing relationships to bother about Nina.

Moreover, if Isabella knew that she became pregnant before getting married, the stubborn and conservative

woman would force her to get rid of the baby.

“Don't mention it. Actually, I should apologize to you.” Avery gave Nina an apologetic look.

Nina gently stroked her still-flat stomach and whispered, “Never, ever say anything like that again. It had happened

anyway. No matter how much we regret it, there is nothing we could do about it. You're my best friend, and I don't

want you to live in guilt because of me. Now is the time to think positively. I believe that no matter how bad the

days are, they will pass. I'm no longer young. I think it's time to have a baby. Perhaps, this baby is a gift from

heaven.”

Nina was an optimistic girl. Once she thought things through, she was able to accept them faster than Avery.

“Yeah. I believe the baby in your belly will be the most adorable one in the world. The baby will be so much like

you!”

“I hope the baby looks like me...” Nina couldn't help but smile when she imagined a baby who resembled her, being

as lovely as Zachary and Rory, calling her Mommy in his or her sweet voice.

She even started to yearn for the future after the baby was born.

“Nina, it's been a long time since I last stayed in this house, so it is a mess. You sit down and relax. I need to tidy it

up first.” Avery set Nina on the couch and began tidying the room.

Nina stepped forward and wanted to help out. “I'm pregnant but not injured. Is there a need to handle me like a

baby? I'll help you out.”

However, Avery set her back on the couch and insisted, “You have seen your screening report. Your body is weaker

than that of ordinary people. You might have a miscarriage if something goes wrong. You need to rest well! There

are a lot of dos and don'ts for a pregnant woman. When I used to be pregnant with Zach and Rory...”

Nina found it amusing that Avery kept harping on her about all the pregnancy precautions in a long-winded, elderly

manner. Despite her complaints about the annoying Avery, Nina's heart was warm.

After tidying the room, Avery went to the supermarket downstairs in the residential area and purchased a lot of

meat and vegetables.

As she was lugging everything she had just purchased and making her way upstairs, she ran across Deborah, who

was also returning from doing marketing.

She was strolling leisurely while carrying a chicken.

Deborah hadn't met Avery in a while.

She saw how ruddy Avery looked which was even more attractive than before, especially her delicate and flawless

skin. It was far better than her daughter's, and Deborah couldn't help but feel envious to the brim. Her daughter

frequently went out for interviews and was exposed to the wind and sun, which caused her complexion to become

dull and tanned.

Due to that, Deborah greeted sarcastically, “Look who's here, it's Avery. Aren't you being kept by a man? I thought

you would never return when I heard that you had been taken to a mansion by your sugar daddy to enjoy life. Why

are you here right now? Does this mean he has dumped you? I've told you, there is no good end for a woman to be

kept by a man. You never listen. Men are always fascinated with something new. You don't have the kind of fate

where you move from being in rags to riches, so stop dreaming about it.”

Avery hated Deborah.

It was not only that Deborah was an elder who enjoyed bragging about her seniority but was also a busybody and

very gossipy. If she wasn't an elder and at her advanced age, Avery would really want to slap her in the face.

Avery stared at Deborah coldly and blurted, “Deborah, are you aware of how obnoxious you are?”

“What did you just say?” Deborah widened her hazy eyes in disbelief at what she had heard from Avery.

Deborah was shorter than Avery, who still towered above her even in her flats.

Avery looked down at Deborah in a domineering aura, saying, “I always respect elders who are generous,

kindhearted, and morally upright. However, there are also a lot of elders like you in society who are busybodies,

irrational, and can't tell between right and wrong. You know nothing but gossip about other's affairs, and always like

to use derogatory language! Deborah, all I have to say is, what's the point of humiliating people? Will you get

wealthy because you enjoy gossiping and making mindless remarks about other people, or will this benefit your

offspring?”

“You... you brat. How dare you speak to me like that! You have done something wrong yourself, but you want to

stop me from speaking the truth, huh? You are nothing but a disgusting b*tch trying to act decent!” Deborah was so

enraged that she wanted to slam the chicken in Avery's face, hoping that it would scratch her gorgeous face.

“Deborah, let me repeat myself. I am not a mistress!”

Avery clenched her fist so hard that she almost poked the plastic bags that were full of vegetables.

She stared at Deborah grim-faced and stated, “I don't care if you believe me or not, but I'm telling you that that

man is my boyfriend. Those two children are ours! Due to some misunderstandings, we split up for some years

before reuniting together recently. This is my last warning to you. Never ever start a rumor about me again, or I'll

see you in court!”

Avery couldn't hold back anymore and gave her a severe warning.

Her stern, menacing voice caused her naturally gentle demeanor to transform into one of aggression. The latter

was startled by her intimidating aura.

Deborah, who was always unruly, arrogant, and insolent, dared not to speak and had become a coward in front of

the lady who was always gentle and spoke softly.

Shooting a glance at the latter, Avery walked past her and headed straight to the fifth floor.

Deborah didn't come to her senses until Avery disappeared at the corner of the stairs, spitting at her back, and

cursed, “Nonsense, how dare a filthy mistress accuse me. What a disgraceful b*itch! You'll regret it sooner or later.”
