A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 490

'So that's still not the reason, huh?' James was confused. "Is your period coming?" He had heard that women's temper would become terrible a few days before their menstrual cycle, and that they would get mad at the most trivial thing.

The word "period" only served to anger Maria even further because she had to say goodbye to her period for the next nine months.

She pinched his cheeks as hard as she could. "You wretched man!"

James thought that her period was coming, so he took her hands off his face and said, "Mia, I'll prepare some brown sugar water for you. Just don't be mad at me."

Maria closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself down. "James, you're awesome!" He was so good at impregnating women that it only took him one try to make her pregnant. She had to admit that he was really good at it!

"What?" At this point, James became even more confused.

This time, Maria didn't respond to him and walked out of the study in silence.

Upon hearing his footsteps behind her, she turned about and commanded, "Don't you dare follow me! Leave me alone!" She said that because she wanted to decide whether to keep this baby or abort it.

"Okay," James replied flatly. After that, he decided not to follow her.

On her own, Maria wandered the manor to contemplate on the matter of James and the baby.

Although he didn't follow her, he told John to connect the surveillance cameras within the manor to his laptop. At the very least, he could keep an eye on Maria this way.

Around ten minutes later, Maria was sitting in the pavilion when something dawned on her. She had been so emotional earlier that she forgot to get rid of any evidence that would prove she was pregnant.

It was at this point that James got up and went to the bathroom in the master's bedroom.

There was really no reason he would go here other than to pee.

After flushing the toilet, he went to the sink to wash his face. Accidentally, he caught sight of something that piqued his curiosity.

Upon realizing what it was, his eyes widened in surprise.

He was so excited, but he withdrew his hand from grabbing the object. Calmly, he turned on the tap, washed his hands, and used the hand sanitizer to cleanse them.

Once he was certain they were clean, he took out a piece of tissue to wipe the water from his hands and threw it into the bin.

Only then did he walk to the box where the toilet papers were placed, and picked up the stick.

With the other hand, he took out his phone and searched for something online. "What do two bars on a pregnancy test stick mean?"

Outside the villa, Maria was praying that James hadn't been to the bathroom yet as she quickly strode back inside.

However, when she was still dozens of meters away, a familiar figure caught her sight.

He was wearing a high-end tailor-made suit and slippers. Regardless of his image, he was running towards her.

Maria stood frozen, unable to walk forward. If she wasn't mistaken, there was a smile on his face.

'I'm too late, aren't I? He probably already saw the stick.'

Soon, he stopped in front of her and embraced her, gradually tightening his arms around her.

Maria could hardly breathe while he was embracing her. "What are you doing? Let me go!"

"Mia, no matter what happens, I'll stay by your side through everything this time." He had failed her three times, and he wasn't planning to fail once more.

Maria didn't want to beat around the bush anymore. "So, you've seen it, haven't you?"

"That's right."

She pushed him away and stared into his eyes. "I don't plan on keeping it."

James was stunned.
