The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 79

She looked all soft and innocent, saying, "I just don't want you wearing that old tie, I bought you a new one."

He looked at her, a smile on his lips but none in his eyes.

Word of Penelope's pregnancy spread like wildfire among the Flanagan and Lindberg families.

Allison was in the kitchen prepping food, the sound of Christopher's laughter drifting in from the living room.

Penelope was pregnant.

They were engaged and with the pregnancy, it was likely they'd be having the wedding soon, with Penelope becoming Mrs. Lindberg officially.

Allison was ready to chop some veggies.

She accidentally cut her finger.

Allison looked down at her hand.

Linda saw and immediately grabbed her hand, "Allison, how could you be so careless? Let me do the chopping, you go bandage that up."

"It's fine."

"No way, I heard the Lindberg crew is coming over tonight, it's going to be all hands on deck. If you don't take care of that cut, it might get infected."

Allison paused. Lucian was coming over too?

Right, he was having a baby, of course he'd come.

They would...

She shook her head. It wasn't her place to be pondering over that. That night was just a spur of the moment thing for him.

Meanwhile, Linda, oblivious to her reaction, continued chopping and chatting, "Ms. Flanagan really hit the jackpot, getting engaged to Mr. Lindberg as soon as he got back. All the other Lindbergs are still single, but she's pregnant! The Lindbergs must be over the moon. They're probably going to rush the wedding."

Allison managed a small smile.

"Indeed."

After finishing her work, Allison slipped out the back door and headed to her quarters.

Penelope had warned her not to show her face before Lucian. If she did, she'd stop paying for Grace's treatment.

Against a threat like that, Allison had no way but to listen to her.

Her mother was her only family.

She couldn't risk anything happening to her.
