Chapter 525 Birth Control or Fertility Pills

They went to a cafe.

Right after they sat down, Mona asked eagerly, “Eme, are you really pregnant?”

Emelie didn’t know how to answer her. After all, Ashton was behind Emelle

Ashley was perceptive and picked up on Emelie’s hesitation. She summoned a waiter with a wave of her hand.

“Excuse me, could we have a cappuccino served to that table, please? Ms. Jones, would you mind sitting there? Coffee is on me,” she said.

Ashton wasn’t slow on the uptake. She cast a glance at the table Ashley indicated.

It wasn’t far away, close enough for her to hear their conversation and see what they were doing She sensibly went over there.

Feeling a sliver of relief with the distance, Emelie wasted no time invoicing her primary concem. “Ashley, what were your symptoms when you were

ere pregnant?

“Why do you ask?” Ashley then pondered for a moment. “Well, I can’t stand sour foods usually, but when I was pregnant, I loved them. I carried sour plum candies with me everywhere I went.

“A change in taste was definitely one symptom. 1 also got tired easily. The smell of raw chicken, duck, or fish would make me nauseous. But the most telling sign is this undeniable feeling of something growing inside you.”

Emelie listened intently, mentally comparing Ashley’s experiences to her own. There were some similarities, but she knew pregnancy symptoms were different for each person

However, she had more than half of the symptoms that Ashley mentioned. Could she truly be pregnant?

Ashley noticed the uneasy look on Emelie’s face and asked in puzzlement, “If you’re unsure, 1 can always buy some pregnancy tests for you”

Emelie gave Ashton a furtive glance, then shook her head. “There’s no need for that. I recently had a checkup, and I’m not pregnant, William’s just been spreading rumors, wanted to know how to play the part.”

“But why would the lie about something like that?” Mona was confused as well. “And are you really not being held captive?”

It was hard to explain the complexities of the situation, so Emelle could only say, “Don’t worry, he won’t hurt me,”

Mona wasn’t convinced. She pouted and muttered, “A leopard never changes its spots. He’s toying with you again!”

Emelie offered a weak smile. “Maybe you’re right.”

Choosing to meet at a cafe was not smart, Ashley couldn’t drink coffee because she was pregnant. Emelie, who was unsure of her own condition, didn’t dare to either. Only the ever -optimistic Mona seemed to enjoy her beverage, happily slurping down more than half the cup

Ashley, warming her hands on the mug, also wanted to ask Emelie something. “Emelie, do you remember that New Year’s Eve dinner we had together?”

Emelie nodded. “Yes, of course.”

“I remember giving you the last two birth control pills I had in my bag,” Ashley said.

“Yes. What about it?” Emelie recalled finding those very pills in her bag the night before. She wondered she would have gotten pregnant if she had taken those pills.

“Did you take them?” Ashley asked.

“No. They’re still in my bag.” Emelie said.

Ashley didn’t think that Emelie still had it. “Give them to me.”

“What’s wrong?” Emelie reached into her bag and retrieved the pills before giving them to her.

Ashley said solemnly, “Someone told me that the birth control pills I’ve been taking might actually be fertility drugs. They were switched out by Elias. I’m going to have them tested to see if it’s true.”

After Emelie got back together with Willam, she would take the birth control pills Ashley gave her every time she slept with him. If those pills were actually fertility drugs, then she might really be pregnant
