Chapter 3 The noise in the store suddenly stopped as soon as I appeared . Tyrell looked at me with disappointment . Others , with a mischievous glint in their eyes , waited for me to scream and lose my temper . To everyones surprise , I was not angry . I handed the documents to the man and said , Could you please lend me the car keys ? Something fell on your car . Upon hearing this , Lucia took out the Porsche key from her bag , stuck out her tongue at me , and said , Sorry , sister in law- Because I love to sleep in , I am always late for work . So Tyrell simply gave me his car to drive , What sister in law ? Silly fool , stop calling people randomly . Tyrells eyes were filled with indulgence as he wiped the wine stains from the corners of Lucias mouth . I followed the mans words and said , Mr. Klein and I were not married , Ms. Kirk , please dont misunderstand . After speaking , I picked up the keys and turned to leave , but Tyrell suddenly grabbed me and said with a strange expression on his face , Lailah , ever since you got pregnant , you would feel nauseous at the smell of alcohol . Why today … I was about to speak when Lucia suddenly paled and clutched Tyrells arm , saying , Tyrell , Lailah wouldnt be thinking of going to the car to look for that pearl necklace , would she ? Um … but I have already lost the necklace , how can I do now ? The necklace in Lucias mouth was an heirloom left to me by my grandmother . Hearing Tyrell soothing Lucia in a gentle voice , it was just a cheap necklace , if it was lost , it was lost , there was no need to worry about it . I put down the car keys and looked at Lucia without any joy or sadness . Hes right , its just a cheap necklace that Ive had for nine years . Since you like it , consider it a gift from me . As I walked out of the restaurant , I was about to hail a taxi when a man chased after me . He handed me the packed nourishing fish porridge and said with a condescending tone , I will accompany you for the prenatal check up tomorrow . Chapter 3 1/4 I lied casually , You remembered the date wrong , the prenatal check up is in two days . Tyrell wanted to argue , but he saw Lucia standing at the entrance of the restaurant . He immediately turned back , took her hand , and breathed warm air for her . I watched them return to the restaurant , as someone who never eats fish , I fed fish porridge to the stray cat , and then went home . That night , the man did not return all night . And I didnt make a single phone call to him . At five oclock in the afternoon , I had just put on my coat when Tyrell suddenly came home and took me in the car . In the Kleins house , Tyrell pulled me towards his parents and said , Mom , Dad , this is Lailah . After years of a long distance relationship , Tyrell finally introduced me to his parents . But my reaction disappointed him greatly . Uncle and aunt , I have something urgent to attend to , please excuse me for leaving first . As soon as the words fell , Tyrell grabbed my wrist and secretly exerted force . Mom , Dad , she was joking with you . You guys get ready for dinner , Ill take her to familiarize herself with the surroundings first . I was forcibly dragged to the top floor bedroom by a man , and the so called tour began . My frequent actions of checking the time on my phone quickly caused dissatisfaction in the man . Lailah , you used to keep pestering me to see the room where I grew up , but now that youve seen it, youve suddenly become speechless ? Hmm ? It was fine . My evasive answer made Tyrell furrow his brow . You were always looking at your phone , is there something interesting inside ? No. Even though I said so , the mans face remained tense . He snatched my phone and aimed it at his face . The screen , however , kept displaying unlock failure . 2/4 Tyrell asked me in surprise how I couldnt recognize it . I was about to speak when suddenly there came a crisp sound from outside the windowwill behind me .
