Chapter 112 What a Small World The wet clothes splashed by Cherry and the sensitive period of pregnancy caused Cynthiaâs body to be much weaker than usual. Helen picked one of the maternity clothes they had bought and let Cynthia go to the bathroom to change.
The maternity dress was just suitable for a pregnant woman in the early stages of pregnancy like Cynthia. Then she took the dress to the bathroom of the shopping mall.
After changing clothes in the cubicle, Cynthia heard a girl in a pink coat beside her calling on the phone while. she was washing her hands, and the girlâs voice was impatient. âItâs not a date today at all. He asked me out. to tell me he had been in love with a girl... Heâs not bad. A handsome and gentlemanly man. He has a good job... Yes, I kinda like him, but he doesnât like me.â
Cynthia was not far away from the girl, and she could hear the angry female voice shouting on the phone. âWhy not fight for it?
Your father managed to get you this marriage with great difficulty. He is really an excellent man with the best looks and temper.
Whatâs more, he made remarkable achievements at such a young age. You have to know the opportunity seldom knocks twice.â
The woman on the other end of the phone kept harping on it, and the girl had no choice but to promise her mother. âI know, mom. I will try my best to fight for it. But he looks very independent and decisive. Iâm afraid his family canât force him to do anything.â
After hanging up the phone, the girl tidied her hair and happened to meet Cynthiaâs eyes when she turned her head. Then she paused and asked, âWhy are you staring at me? Is there something wrong?â
Only then did Cynthia realize that she had unknowingly stared at the girl for a long time out of her nosiness.
âAh, sorry. I didnât mean it.â She apologized quickly.
The girl, with round cheeks and round eyes, looked cute and good-tempered. Undoubtedly, she was a much-loved girl in her family.
She smiled. âNever mind!â
After speaking, she left directly.
Cynthia smiled and shook her head, thinking of womenâs curiosity about gossip. After washing her hands, she returned to the coffee shop where Helen and Alice were waiting.
As soon as she came out, Cynthia saw the girl in the pink coat trotting to the front of a man and saying with a sweet and lovely smile, âIâm sorry, Dylan. You must be waiting for so long.â
The man in a black overcoat was straight, tall, and thin. Although Cynthia didnât see his face, she was sure at a glance that he was Helenâs boyfriend, Dylan Carter.
Cynthia couldnât help but wonder why he went shopping with that girl.
Thinking of that girlâs words just now, Cynthia couldnât help but guess that she was Dylanâs fiancée, making her feel worried about Helen.
âWhat a small world!â
Cynthia sighed. When she looked at the positions of the two, Cynthia paused and quickly realized Helen was in the café not far behind them.
It would not be good if Helen saw them.
Cynthia hurriedly walked towards the coffee shop, Halfway through the walk, she saw Helen coming out of the shop. Nerves went through her. She couldnât let them meet each other at such a time.
Cynthia quickened her pace and almost trotted to the door of the coffee shop. She bent down, gasped for a few quick breaths, and hurriedly pulled Helen inside.
âIâm... Iâm back.â
Helen frowned, stretched out her hand to caress Cynthiaâs back to ease her breathing, and blamed her. âYouâve been in the bathroom for so long, and I was going to look for you. But you donât have to run so fast.
Donât forget you are still pregnant, and the floor is slippery. Alston will not let go of Alice and me if you accidentally get hurt.â
âGot it. Got it!â Cynthia shook her hand comfortingly. âIâm an obstetrician, and I know my condition.â
Helen snorted coldly, âEveryone who drowns can swim. I donât think everything will go well just because you are an obstetrician. Are there few fractures among our orthopedic doctors?â
Alice, sipping her coffee, smiled when she heard it, and her charming eyes curled up, âCynthia, this time Iâm on Helenâs side.â
Cynthia smiled, âAlright. Alright. I will amble in the future, okay?â
After speaking, she glanced outside and saw Dylan and his fiancée had left. Then she was relieved.
Helen kept telling her to be careful and not pay attention to her expression, but Alice did. When Helen went to check out, Alice grabbed Cynthiaâs sleeve and asked, âWhat happened just now? What are you hiding from us?â
âWhat?â Cynthia pretended to be confused.
Alice snorted, âDonât lie to me. You kept looking outside just now as if there was something perilous. To be honest, what happened?â
Seeing that Alice noticed it, Cynthia sighed with a stern expression, âI just met Dylanâs fiancée in the bathroom. Dylan and his fiancée were outside the coffee shop just now. I darenât let Helen see it.â
Aliceâs charming face was full of surprise. âDylan is... Helenâs boyfriend? Does he have a fiancée?â
Cynthia nodded. âHelen has been annoyed at this matter. This time I asked her to go shopping to relax her. I didnât expect it to be such a coincidence that Dylan was also shopping here with his fiancée.â
âThen whatâs his attitude now?â Alice asked, grabbing Cynthiaâs sleeve.
Cynthia shook her head. âI donât know. To avoid them, we need to go home now. If we meet them outside, we must try our best to make Helen not see them. Then Iâll find a chance to follow and ask about Dylanâs attitude!â
Alice nodded. âNo problem.â
The two wanted to say something else, but they stopped talking when Helen finished paying the bill and came this way.
âWhere shall we go next?â Helen asked.
Winking at Alice secretly, Cynthia covered her stomach with her hands, and her delicate face twitched. âWeâve been walking for a day, and I feel a little tired. That milk also made my stomach uncomfortable. I want to go.
back home.â
Helenâs face tensed up, and she quickly supported her by the shoulder. âIs there something wrong with the stomach? What did I tell you before? I told you not to run so fast, but you didnât listen. Do you want to go to the hospital?â
Cynthia shook her head quickly. âMaybe Iâm just tired. Taking a rest is enough.â
Alice also nodded. âIâm a little tired too. How about going back home now? We can go shopping again when we have time.â
How could Helen refuse now? She nodded and walked outside, holding Cynthiaâs arm. Alice poked Cynthiaâs arm as soon as they arrived and signaled to her. âIs it them?â
Cynthia looked and saw Dylan parking the car and the girl in pink leaning over. The two of them were talking intimately, and now and then, the girlâs crisp laughter could be heard as if they were in love.
Cynthiaâs face darkened, and Helen beside her asked, âWhen will the Smith familyâs car come?â
Cynthia suddenly felt tense and quickly grabbed her hand to turn around. âAlice, is your car over there?â
Alice was in a daze for a moment and nodded quickly. âYes. I drove here alone, and that red sports car is mine.â
âThe sports car only has seats for two people. Then you take Helen home first, okay?â
Helen frowned. âNo need, Cynthia. Arenât you feeling unwell? Let Alice drive you home first.â
Cynthia shook her head quickly. âI wonât take her car. She drives too fast, and I canât stand it. I have already sent a message to Greg, and he said he will arrive within five minutes.â
Cynthia and Alice pushed and pulled, finally getting Helen into the car.
She poked her head out and looked at Cynthia worriedly. âThen send me a message when you arrive home.â
Alice sat in the driverâs seat and smiled when she saw Helenâs reaction. âHelen, donât worry. Alston loves Cynthia so much. How can he let something bad happen to Cynthia?â
Only then did Helen feel relieved.
Seeing that the flamboyant red sports car gradually disappeared, Cynthia turned her head and saw Dylanâs car leaving too.
She waved quickly, got into a taxi, and said to the driver, âSir, follow the car in front, and donât lose track.â
The driver looked at her in surprise and gossiped, âI just saw inside that car a young couple. But I tell from your expression that... they committed adultery?â
Cynthia paused, and her face turned cold. âYes. The man in the car is my boyfriend. I saw him with another woman when I went shopping with my friends. Sir, you have to help me catch up with them.â
The driver was warm-hearted, and his face immediately turned serious. âOkay. Hold on to your seat. Iâm going to drive.â
After speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and followed Dylanâs car.
