Chapter 779 Juniper is Pregnant
Lyra had always been unable to stand the feeling of being discriminated against.
Not to mention that Cecilia made her feel this way and she would be upset, but now that Juniper had surpassed her in status, she was extremely jealous.
She deliberately put on a smile, "Cecilia, long time no see."
She called so affectionately.
Cecilia smiled.
It was really a mocking smile, with sarcasm and contempt.
Lyra's face darkened.
What kind of expression was that from Cecilia?
Was she discriminating against her?
Cecilia, a woman who had been abandoned, what right did she have to look down on her?
Lyra was going crazy inside, but she held back and didn't show it on her face.
She just watched Cecilia walk past them without saying a word.
She left.
Making the whole space awkward.
Alaric didn't care about Lyra's feelings either. He got up and followed Cecilia.
Cecilia was actually just going to the back garden to get some fresh air.
It was spring, and the weather was nice.
The air was good too.
Anyway, it was much more comfortable than being in the hall.
She sat on a lounge chair in the back garden, basking in the warm midday sun.
Feeling someone approaching, she closed her eyes directly.
"I'll send Lyra away in a while," Alaric said.
"There's no need," Cecilia said lightly, "Compared to that, I hate being alone with you more."
Alaric swallowed the words he wanted to say.
He said, "It's almost lunchtime. I had George make your favorite dishes."
"I like everything George makes."
Alaric's throat moved slightly, "Okay, you rest for a while, I'll call you later."
Cecilia didn't respond.
Alaric didn't say more and left quietly.
Cecilia smiled slightly.
Alaric's patience with her wouldn't last long.
She actually just needed to wait. After a while, Alaric would find it boring.
Thinking this, Cecilia could lie there comfortably and calmly.
Footsteps sounded again, followed by a female voice, "I didn't expect your belly to be so big."
Lyra scrutinized Cecilia. Cecilia was doing much better than she had imagined.
She thought Cecilia would be devastated after being abandoned by Alaric, but she didn't expect Cecilia to be so at ease!
Cecilia also knew Lyra would come to her.
Someone as proud as Lyra couldn't stand being ignored by her.
She pretended not to hear and continued to feign sleep.
"Cecilia, what are you pretending to be proud of? Alaric has long been with Juniper. Now you're just a mistress, such a shameful identity, what do you have to be proud of, it's simply ridiculous."
Cecilia's eyes moved, she opened her eyes and looked at Lyra.
Cecilia looked at her malicious smile.
She got up from the lounge chair unhurriedly.
Her movements were elegant.
As if she didn't care about every word Lyra said.
The more she acted like this, the more uncomfortable Lyra felt.
It was like a thousand ants were scratching at her heart, she wanted to hit Cecilia!
She glared at Cecilia, "Cecilia, do you know Juniper is pregnant!"
Cecilia's body stiffened for a moment.
Just a moment.
Cecilia then relaxed herself again.
After all, they were all adults. Since men and women were together, how could they not have a sexual relationship?
Since they had a sexual relationship, if their bodies were fine, wasn't pregnancy a natural thing?
She just felt a bit emotional.
It took her and Alaric so long to conceive a child.
But Alaric and Juniper could do it so easily.
Thinking carefully, it seemed the same with their feelings.
It took her and Alaric a long time to develop feelings, but Alaric and Juniper did it so easily.
It was probably destined.
From the beginning, she and Alaric wouldn't have a good ending.
"What, feeling upset?" Lyra finally saw a trace of emotion on Cecilia's face.
She thought Cecilia really had no reaction at all!
"No. But I do think you're a bit pathetic." Cecilia finally spoke.
She was afraid if she didn't speak, Lyra would really be angered to death by her.
"Me, pathetic?" Lyra's suppressed voice couldn't help but rise, "Cecilia, you must not have recognized the situation, the pathetic one is you!"
"Do you really think Alaric still loves you? If he really loved you, he wouldn't be entangled with Juniper. Do you think he keeps you around because he can't bear to let you go? He keeps you just to have you give birth to his child!"
Cecilia didn't argue, she said, "I know my status very well, after all, I'm just an ordinary person, I can't reach the so-called upper-class position, it's natural. But Ms. Monroe is different. Ms. Monroe is an upper-class person, born in the spotlight, with superior conditions. Even so, I didn't expect you to end up the same as me, I feel sorry for you."
"What nonsense are you talking about, how am I the same as you!"
"Both abandoned by men!" Cecilia said bluntly, "What I'm going through now, didn't Ms. Monroe go through the same before?"
"I abandoned Dominic!" Lyra gritted her teeth.
"If I say I also abandoned Alaric, would you believe it? Do you think others would believe it?" Meaning, Lyra was just deceiving herself.
Lyra gritted her teeth.
"In the eyes of others, you're just a woman abandoned by a man. Compared to your sister Juniper's current status, it's a world of difference. Born to the same parents, starting from the same line, don't you think it's pathetic?"
"You!" Lyra was hit where it hurt by Cecilia's words, her suppressed anger was about to explode.
"If it weren't for your bad reputation before, maybe the one with Alaric now would be you, the one who could become the First Lady would be you, how could it be Juniper..."
"Shut up! Juniper is with Alaric because..." Lyra was so agitated that she almost said something.
At that moment, she suddenly saw Cecilia reaching out to her.
Lyra instinctively thought Cecilia was going to hit her.
She blocked it and slightly pushed Cecilia.
She really didn't use much force.
She knew Cecilia was pregnant, she couldn't touch her.
She wasn't stupid enough to cause Cecilia to miscarry so directly, even Tomas didn't dare provoke Alaric like that, neither did she.
However, at that moment, she suddenly saw Cecilia fall to the ground.
Falling heavily.
Before Lyra could react, a figure quickly ran over, holding Cecilia's body, his face extremely grim.
Cecilia endured the pain and pointed at Lyra, "Why did you push me?"
Lyra's face changed instantly.
Her whole face turned red.
At that moment, she knew she had been framed by Cecilia.
Cecilia, even now, could still frame her?
