The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 289

Lucian rubbed his forehead gently, as if he was still in a dream.

He sounded a bit groggy, his voice raspy, "Did you go to the hospital for a check-up?"

"I did, Lucian. When are you coming to see me? The baby and I miss you."

"I'll come over later."

"Really? Lucian, see you tonight then."

As Allison descended the stairs, a bitter taste lingered in her heart. She clenched her fists tightly.

Her chest ached. Lucian must truly care for Penelope.

And why shouldn't he? After all, Penelope was carrying his child and was his fiancée.

Once Penelope gave birth, they would get married and the family of three would surely be very happy.

Allison, you should leave. Once you had enough money, you should take your mom and leave this city. Don't ever come back.

...

Lucian sat at the dining table, the dishes laid out before him looking delicious. At least from the appearance, he knew they must taste great.

After a few bites, he suddenly paused.

He looked up and asked, "Did you make this?"

Across the table, Allison sat silently, not saying a word or meeting his gaze since she'd come down from upstairs. She gripped her fork tightly.

"Uh-huh."

Lucian bit his lip slightly. This taste was familiar. Penelope had brought him this dish countless times to his office. He loved seafood Alfredo pasta and always ordered it at restaurants. But the way Penelope made it was his favorite.

This tasted almost the same as hers.

Looking at his expression, Allison bit her lip. Was the food not good or did he simply not like it?
