Chapter 156 News of Clara's Pregnancy Exposed
The two families faced off for a bit. No matter what the Kennedys said, the Tudors were set on breaking the engagement.
Clara stayed silent, head down the whole time.
Suddenly, she looked up, her teary eyes meeting Felix and Heather's.
They saw her sorrowful face and were taken aback.
She softly said, "I'm pregnant."
"What?"
Somehow, entertainment reporters got wind of Clara's pregnancy.
Lila was lounging on the couch in Owen's office, scrolling through her phone.
Suddenly, a news alert popped up: [Kennedy Heiress Clara Pregnant, Set to Marry Lucas!]
She jumped up. "Oh my God, Clara's pregnant?"
Owen, busy at his desk, was startled by her outburst.
Since being with Owen, she was always a bit clumsy around him.
He often wondered how Victoria trusted her to run Silver Screen Studios.
But she proved she could handle it.
It was 4 PM in Rihegde and 8 PM in Country M.
Victoria and Alexander had just returned to their hotel when Lila called.
Thinking it was urgent, Victoria answered quickly, not even bothering to change her shoes.
"Lila, what's up?" Victoria asked.
As she stepped forward, Alexander grabbed her arm. "Change your shoes first."
Lila heard Alexander's voice and asked, "Is Alexander with you in Country M?"
Victoria looked down to see Alexander kneeling, holding her slippers.
The usually cold and aloof Alexander was always so caring with her.
Her eyes sparkled with happiness as she responded.
Victoria was surprised to hear about Clara's pregnancy.
Lila fumed, "Lucas is such a jerk. Just six weeks after breaking up with you, he slept with Clara, and now she's pregnant."
Victoria chuckled softly, "Don't be mad. It's not worth it."
Lila continued, "Now Clara has leverage. My mom said Lucas's parents didn't even want Clara to marry him."
Victoria didn't care if Clara married Lucas or not.
Since cutting ties with the Kennedy family, she was even less interested in their drama.
As Lila kept talking, she suddenly laughed mischievously.
"Why don't you have a child too? The Howard family bloodline is way more important than the Tudors'," Lila suggested.
Victoria stayed silent.
The phone's speaker wasn't loud, but Alexander, sitting close, heard everything.
Alexander turned slightly, staring at her perfect profile, amusement in his eyes.
Lila kept going, "How are you and Alexander getting along? You two must be great in bed, right?
"Alexander is hotter than any guy. He better not be disappointing you. Spill the details!
"He's the dream guy for every woman in Stellaria. So many want to sleep with him, and you're the only one holding back. Why's that?"
Talking about sex? Way too awkward!
Victoria rubbed her forehead, knowing if she didn't hang up soon, Lila would make it even worse.
And Alexander, sitting right next to her, was making her back tingle with his intense gaze.
"Lila, I gotta go. Talk later," Victoria said, embarrassed.
"I..." Lila's words were cut off as Victoria hung up.
Lila stared at her phone, frowning. Was Alexander with her?
In her daze, she felt an arm around her waist. Owen whispered in her ear, "Do you want a kid too? The Rodriguez family bloodline is pretty important."
Lila looked up at him, her eyes narrowing. "Do you need a brain check?"
Owen stayed silent.
Meanwhile, after hanging up, Victoria turned to face Alexander.
His deep eyes met hers, his chiseled jawline slightly raised, making her feel awkward.
"It's getting late, I'll go shower," Victoria said, trying to leave. But a strong hand gripped her waist, holding her in place.
Warm breath tickled her neck as Alexander's deep voice whispered, "I also want to know, why don't you want to have sex with me?"
His voice was already enticing, and now it was even more seductive.
Victoria's neck felt like it was on fire, and her heartbeat quickened.
She took a moment to respond, "Because you are mine."
She said it so matter-of-factly. Alexander chuckled softly, his laughter making her ears, neck, and cheeks flush.
"Yes, I am yours," Alexander said softly.
As her mind spun, Alexander's cool lips suddenly enveloped her earlobe.
She stiffened, shivering in his arms.
Before she could speak, Alexander's voice came again, with a hint of pleading. "Will you have a child with me?"
His words made her dizzy. If not for her last bit of rationality, she would have been completely seduced.
The night outside was quiet, with a hint of chill.
Alexander and Victoria fell asleep in each other's arms.
