Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 The Child Was Louis's

"It's just to deliver some wine. What's with her nagging?" Blanche complained inwardly and walked toward the balcony.

However, as she approached the balcony, she overheard the conversation on it.

"Just focus on taking care of the baby. Don't worry about the money. Your unborn child is important and cannot have any accidents." It was like a bolt out of the blue for Blanche. Without a doubt, it was Louis's voice.

"The child is healthy. It's been kicking me hard lately. Even if its father can't be here with us now, I understand and will take good care of this baby."

"What is going on?" Blanche wondered, and her mind was a mess. She took a step forward and saw a slightly plump woman in a bright red dress with wavy hair.

Blanche wasn't in the habit of eavesdropping on conversations, so she made her footsteps heavier and came to the balcony.

The two turned their heads when they heard her footsteps.

Blanche straightened, looking at Louis, and then at that woman. The woman's belly had swelled with the baby being at least several months old.

The woman's eyes were full of surprise with the corners of her eyes still moist when she saw Blanche.

Wiping her eyes, the woman nodded at Louis. "I'll leave first."

Then, the woman lowered her head and walked past Blanche. Blanche looked at Louis with a questioning gaze and then turned her head to look at the thin back of the woman as the woman left.

Blanche thought to herself, "Could someone please tell me what is going on? Louis just said that the woman should take care of the baby and that the child could not have any accidents. Is the child Louis's?"

"Why did you come here?" Louis asked. Judging from his tone, he didn't seem to intend to explain what had just happened.

"It seems like I shouldn't have come. If your mom hadn't asked me to bring you wine, I wouldn't have seen such an exciting scene." Blanche murmured to herself, wondering if Tammy or Cathy had asked her to deliver the wine and if they just wanted her to hear this conversation.

Cathy must have known that Louis and the woman had been talking on the balcony, and even knew about their relationship.

Blanche believed that Cathy asked her to come here just to disgust her.

Louis reached out to take the wine from Blanche's hand, but Blanche held onto the glass and hesitated to let go.

"Who's that woman? Is she carrying your child?" she questioned.

Louis snatched the wine, and his eyebrows creased as he heard Blanche's words. "Does she think the woman is pregnant with my child?" he wondered.
