She convinced herself that Yasmine had just returned, and she didn't really have many feelings for her cousin. So even if Brisa was pregnant, it wasn't something that mattered to her.
But her heart was filled with unease. Even if it was a facade, she couldn't be this casual about it. Perhaps sensing Barbara's gaze, Yasmine's eyes slid slowly in the sockets before finally settling on one spot, her gaze piercing straight at Barbara. The sudden cold gaze sent a chill up Barbara's spine, all the way to her forehead. She hastily looked away, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
Just one look was enough to send her into a state of panic.
Yasmine's smiled d slightly, her sharp eyes filled with a hint of irony.
Barbara nervously swallowed, trying to calm her racing heart.
"Mom, now that we know Brisa is pregnant, we can't delay this matter any longer. Why don't we go and bring her back now? I think Dad will be very happy."d2
Ava looked up at Queen Julia, "You're right, we should bring her back sooner. Mom, what do you think."
Of course, Queen Julia wanted to bring Brisa back as soon as possible. After all these years of compromise, she should give William an explanation. In the future, she wouldn't have to worry about this matter anymore. Moreover, their family's offspring should naturally receive the best treatment.
Nodding, she stood up, "We should indeed bring her back. This time, I will go personally."
It was time to set aside her pride and welcome Brisa in person. After spending years with William without any recognition, she was inevitably subjected to too much slander and gossip.
Ava forced a smile, "It's cold outside, I'll go."
Queen Julia raised her hand to stop her. "I want to go myself this time. Otherwise, I won't be at ease."
Ava didn't say anything else, but she tightly clenched her fists.
"Yasmine, do you want to go too?"
Yasmine slowly put down her pen, "Since it's a happy occasion, naturally I should come to share the joy."
Ava and Barbara exchanged a look, both looking a bit displeased.
Queen Julia was very happy and turned to order Lea to arrange the car. As Lea turned to leave, Queen Julia called her back. "Lea, arrange for someone to prepare a suite in the palace. I'll bring Brisa directly back to the palace."
Ava's expression changed slightly, "Mother, she's not entitled to... that doesn’t seem right, does it? I can take care of her."
Brisa could only be considered a disgraced mistress. Ava thought that she didn't even stay in the palace for long when she was pregnant, so why...
Queen Julia frowned at her. "You're talking to me about rules?"
