Chapter 567

Lindsey came to a halt and narrowed her eyes at Kendra.

“Kendra, it’s just the two of us here.

You don’t have to put on an act.

Rather than playing mind games with me, maybe you should focus on your situation.

It would be embarrassing for any guy if his current partner pales in comparison to his ex.

”

Kendra’s face froze.

When they stepped into the banquet hall, they spotted Juanita standing nearby while Benny pursued her with an adoring expression.

Lindsey arched an eyebrow and shot a quick look at Kendra.

Kendra halted, clearly seething with anger.

On the way back home after the banquet, Kendra took the passenger seat, her lips pressed together as she turned to Benny.

She spoke softly, “Benny, I’ve got a prenatal check-up scheduled for tomorrow.

Could you come with me?”

Benny gripped the steering wheel, his gaze fixed straight ahead, sporting a notably chilly expression.

“I’ve got something on my plate tomorrow.

I’ll have the maid accompany you.

”

Kendra crumpled the hem of her dress.

Usually, whenever she had a maternity checkup, Benny would put everything aside to be with her.

But today, everything had changed after his encounter with Juanita.

Kendra was overwhelmed by a strong sense of crisis.

She sensed a pressing need to take action.

After a refreshing shower at home, Lindsey slipped into her comfy Loungewear and headed to the living room.

Juanita and Leonel were both already there.

“Mom.

” Lindsey called Juanita over and settled beside her, her lips slightly pursed.

She said, “I’ve been by your side for some time.

I’m thinking of heading back home for a few days next week.

.

Upon hearing Lindsey’s departure plans, Juanita couldn’t help but speculate that it had something to do with the man from earlier today.

Juanita massaged her temples, leaning back on the sofa.

“Linds, ever since I lost track of you, I’ve been troubled by headaches.

Now, hearing you’re leaving… oh, it’s bringing another headache…”

Gazing at Juanita, Lindsey found herself at a loss for words.

“Mom…”

She tried to say something more, but Juanita quickly grabbed Leonel’s attention.

“Leonel, remember what you told me before about what I should do to ease my headache?”

Leonel glanced at his mother, unimpressed with her acting.

He sighed and turned to Lindsey.

““Linds, Mom usually needs a gentle temple massage to alleviate her headaches.

It usually helps in about ten minutes.

I’ve been tied up with the institute and couldn’t be there.

Could you stay and look after Mom?”
