Chapter 166: Fury
Facing Chloe Sullivan’s apology,
Julia Land accepted it calmly before speaking in a bland tone, "Oh, really? You two were together before? Are you sure?"
Chloe Sullivan frowned, "Miss Land, you... never mind, I can’t help it if you don’t believe me."
Upon hearing this, Julia couldn’t help but find it amusing. She chuckled lightly, reclined on the couch, and lazily stroked her belly, saying airily, "Oh, then never mind. I don’t believe it."
Chloe didn’t expect Julia to deviate from the norm. She seemed not to be angry?
"Miss Sullivan, I did hear from Mr. Thompson in my family that the child in your belly belongs to Madeline," Julia said, her words also laced with probing.
"I actually broke up with Madeline long ago," Chloe admitted with an embarrassed smile, "Whether or not the child is Brother Thompson’s, the hundred-day celebration will make everything clear."
"Miss Land, I may speak too bluntly, you may not like it, but you must know that I am recognized by the Thompson Family as the daughter-in-law."
Chloe’s smile remained gentle, "If you want to continue staying by Brother Thompson’s side, I won’t stop you, but as a third party, would you accept it?"
Julia frowned, feeling nauseous. She hadn’t experienced morning sickness since becoming pregnant, but now the urge struck.
She eased the nausea and looked at Chloe seriously, "Miss Sullivan, I feel like vomiting right now, truly sorry, but I must be leaving."
