Chapter 191

Olivia couldn’t stomach anything fishy at the moment. Thankfully, when Linda opened the thermos, she didn’t detect any fishy smell, and she didn’t feel sick.

“Okay,” she said.

Linda handed her the soup, and Olivia took a few sips. She hadn’t eaten much since yesterday morning and felt weak from hunger, but she finished the soup despite lacking an appetite.

After finishing the soup, Tyler suggested, “Eat some porridge. It has beans and sugar.”

But Olivia had lost her appetite completely after finishing the soup. She watched as Linda served her the porridge, feeling hesitant.

Observing her, Tyler said, “You should eat some, even if it’s just a little.”

Olivia looked down. She was so quiet that she seemed non–existent. Still, she took the porridge from Linda and forced herself to eat it.

Tyler watched her, noticing when she finally stopped after a few mouthfuls. He didn’t push her to eat more and asked Linda to take the bowl away.

Once Linda left, Olivia asked, “Did you tell Naomi already?” She thought her family should be the first to know about her pregnancy, especially Hillary.

“I will.”

Just then, Olivia’s phone rang. It was Hillary calling.

Olivia hesitated. Hillary didn’t know about the pregnancy yet, and Olivia expected her to push for another IVF appointment.

Tyler noticed Olivia’s reluctance and said, “Answer it.” He wanted her to tell Hillary about the pregnancy.

Knowing they couldn’t keep it a secret forever, Olivia answered the call. After all, it was great news to the Joneses.

Hillary sounded impatient, asking, “How do you feel today? Are you ready for the check–up now? I’m sure you’ve run out of excuses, right?”

Olivia hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, “I’m pregnant, Aunt Hillary.”

Hillary was silent, stunned, in the living room.

“The baby is over a month old now,” Olivia added to emphasize the news.

Hillary looked stiff at first before confirming, “You’re pregnant?”

“Yes, the natural way,” Olivia answered.

Hillary mumbled, “You’re pregnant… You’re finally pregnant. That’s great news.” She smiled in relief, overjoyed, “Where are you now?”
