My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 274

Lea was worried and a little mad at Rachel. "Why didn't you tell me? Let me look at your wound."

She obediently turned to let Lea take a look at her head. The wound had healed, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Lea felt sorry for her. "Why weren't you more careful? Was it serious?"

"I'm fine. It's not a big deal." Rachel was only half lying. She quickly changed the topic before Lea could ask for more details. "Come on, let me see your belly."

Lea said, "There's nothing to see."

Rachel poked her belly, but there was nothing different.

She sighed slightly, "Time flies. I can't believe you're going to be a mother."

Lea was reading a book. Hearing Rachel's words, she snorted. "You can have one if you want."

Rachel didn't respond to her comment, but asked, "Are you free right now?"

Lea put down the book and rubbed her forehead. "How can I be not free? I'm so bored."

She was being forced to stay at home for the past few days. Her father was not allowing her to leave.

Her mind was in a whirl, so she obeyed her father's orders.

She read parenting books at home every day, preparing to be a good mother.

It hadn't been easy for her to get her phone back either. Lea was thinking about going out somewhere with Rachel when the latter asked, "Are you still fretting over matters of the Qin family?"

After a short pause, she realized Rachel had asked her a question. She smiled. "Are you talking about his aunt? Humph, she doesn't deserve my worry.

The point is, I am more worried about my father's attitude now. I don't want to break his heart."

It was no secret that the old man loved his daughter very much. He protected her from troubles. That day, when Lea saw Alice and Gregory, she was stunned.

She didn't realize how small the world was.

Not long after her father took her home, she heard that Alice declared she would not allow Henry to marry her. How could Lea's father let her marry someone whose relative had hurt his daughter before?

He would rather let her get a divorce and raise the child on her own.

But, he had made this decision on impulse. He had calmed down soon after. Luckily, Henry had been behaving well, so he had been allowed to visit Lea at her house.

Rachel was about to say something to comfort her friend. She opened her mouth, but Lea beat her to it.

"Actually, when I saw them, I felt uncomfortable.

Rachel was shocked. She was aware of what had happened between Lea and Gregory.

Although Lea used to be a naughty girl and skipped classes to go to bars,

she had never been in a relationship with a man back then.

It was Gregory with whom she fell in love. Since this was the first time she had loved someone, she tried her best to win him over.

Gregory had taken up space in her heart. Lea had been willing to do everything for him.

However, things didn't go as planned.

Alice had lost control when she found out. She had trashed the painting studio and created problems for Lea at home and in school. Lea had been on the verge of a breakdown.

Not long after Alice created a fuss,

Lea fled to another city saying she needed time off to relax.

When Rachel saw how damaged and disheveled Lea was, she was shocked and pained.

Lea held on to her and wailed. Then, just like that, she wiped away her tears and pretended to be fierce. "I scratched her face!"

That was when Rachel learned that Alice had hired some people to come after Lea. Fortunately, Lea was trained in martial arts and self-defense.

At the end of the fight, Lea had punched a couple of people and had been successful in teaching Alice a lesson.

Rachel resurfaced after being lost in thoughts. The woman sitting in front of her with her head against the chair had slightly empty eyes. "I never thought that after all these years, the man I would fall in love with would turn out to be her nephew. It seems that I can't get over with the Qins."

Gregory Qin, Alice Qin, Henry Qin...

And the baby in her belly was going to be another Qin. The very thought of this made Lea's head ache. She raised her head and murmured, "I remember what I did when I was young. Even though I do not hate them as much, I just think they owe me an apology."

Rachel nodded but did not say anything.

"They'd better leave me alone. They can't intervene in my marriage. It is between me and Henry," Lea added.

Deep down, she knew what to hate and what to love.

Rachel believed that Lea and Henry could figure this matter out without help from her and Jack.

However, it was important to comfort a pregnant woman if there was a possibility of distress.
