Chapter 79

She looked all soft and innocent, saying, “I just don’t want you wearing that old tie, I bought you a new one He looked at her, a smile on his lips but none in his eyes.

Word of Penelope’s pregnancy spread like wildfire among the Flanagan and Lindberg families.

Allison was in the kitchen prepping food the sound of Christopher’s laughter drifting in from the living room Penelope was pregnant They were engaged and with the pregnancy, it was likely they’d be having the wedding soon, with Penelope becoming Mrs. Lindberg officially Allison was ready to chop some veggies.

She accidentally cut her finger Allison looked down at her hand.

Linda saw and immediately grabbed her hand, “Allison, how could you be so careless? Let me do the chopping, you go bandage that up”

“It’s fine”

“No way, I heard the Lindberg crew is coming over tonight, it’s going to be all hands on deck. If you don’t take care of that cut, it might get infected”

Allison paused Lucian was coming over too?

Right, he was having a baby, of course he’d come They would She shook her head. It wasn’t her place to be pondering over that. That night was just a spur of the moment thing for him Meanwhile, Linda, oblivious to her reaction, continued chopping and chatting. “Ms. Flanagan really hit the jackpot, getting engaged to Mr. Lindberg as soon as he got back.

All the other Lindbergs are still single, but she’s pregnant! The Lindbergs must be over the moon.

They’re probably going to rush the wedding”

Allison managed a small smile “Indeed‘

After finishing her work, Allison slipped out the back door and headed to her quarters.

Penelope had warned her not to show her face before Lucian if she did, she’d stop paying for Grace’s treatment.

Against a threat like that. Allison had no way but to listen to her.

Her mother was her only family She couldnt risk anything happening to her.

Even without Penelope’s threat, Allison wouldn’t want to see Lucian.

All she wanted was to keep her distance from him.

She got home.

Allison hugged her stomach, where once there was a little life….

Remembering that night, and the child she lost, Allison started shaking.

Allison wanted to get some sleep.

She locked the door, a habit she picked up after Lucian showed up at her place that day.

She took out a bottle of sleeping pills from a drawer.

The bottle was from last year when Grace first fell ill and she couldn’t sleep from the anxiety.

She was about to take two of the pills when she noticed a metal box in the back of the drawer Allison opened the box to find Grace’s previous blood test results.

She was about to put the report away when she noticed the blood type on the report It showed that Grace’s blood type was Type A!

That couldn’t be…

Joshua and Ricky were both Type A.

But she she was Type B Allison clutched the report, her mind going blank.

Just as an idea was forming in her mind, there was a knock at the door.

It was Linda’s yoice, Allison, Margo needs your help What Margo actually said was, “Where’s Allison again? Is she slacking off somewhere? Get her back here”

Allison was surprised. The Lindberg family was about to arrive, why would Penelope let her be in the mansion?

There was no time to think, she quickly packed up and left.

By evening, a black Bentley pulled up at the Flanagan’s.

David helped Carter out of the car, followed by Zachary and Kamilla, and then Lucian and Cora Lindberg Hamilton.

Apart from Miranda, nearly all the Lindbergs had arrived The arrival of Mr. Lindberg got Christopher all jazzed up.
