Chapter 747 You Are Pregnant
Saskia's face turned ghostly pale in a heartbeat.
Azalea let go of her and marched toward the noise.
But it was just Nathaniel's phone, chilling on the vanity table in front of the mirror!
Seeing this, Saskia felt her throat tighten, her scalp prickling.
How was she gonna explain this?
"He's so careless, leaving his phone behind," Azalea said, picking it up and smiling helplessly, not suspecting a thing.
Saskia didn't dare breathe loudly and quickly changed the subject. "You're the star today. You should head outside. I need to hit the bathroom again."
Without waiting for Azalea to respond, Saskia darted into the restroom attached to the lounge.
She locked the door behind her in one swift motion.
But Nathaniel, who was inside the restroom, approached her with long strides and pinned her against the door once more.
Saskia grabbed hold of his wandering hand.
However, Azalea's voice came from outside the door. "Saskia, you should go to the hospital. I'll find George and have him arrange someone to take you."
"No, I'm fine. I can hold on until your engagement party is over." Saskia tried her best to keep her voice steady.
If Azalea went searching for Nathaniel and found out he was in the restroom, only to discover the relationship between her and Nathaniel, Saskia couldn't even begin to imagine how the scene would unfold!
But Azalea was firm. "Saskia, it's hard to endure if you're not feeling well. Don't be stubborn."
The next second, Saskia heard footsteps moving away and slumped against the door.
A mocking laugh came from above her. "You never fail to impress, Saskia. You are such a good actress."
Having seen Nathaniel's gentlest side, being mocked and ridiculed by him now felt like a knife slicing through Saskia's heart.
Saskia clenched her fists, grinning. "I'm the one who wronged you, and it has nothing to do with Azalea. If you need to vent your anger, I'll do whatever you want; just don't do it this way," she said.
No matter how good their relationship was four years ago, it was over.
After all, she betrayed him for five million dollars.
Azalea didn't know the truth, and she shouldn't have been dragged into this!
"Saskia, what right do you have to say that?" the mocking voice hit Saskia again.
Nathaniel reached out and grabbed her cheeks.
He used force, and Saskia felt like she was about to be crushed.
Nathaniel's eyes were filled with endless sharpness and coldness, even a hint of viciousness.
For money, Saskia worked multiple jobs every day from dawn till dusk, and she never meddled in Azalea's personal life. She had heard that Azalea had a boyfriend, but Saskia barely had time to see him, taking only half a day off for the engagement.
Saskia never expected to run into her ex-boyfriend Nathaniel at the engagement party!
Even more surprisingly, Nathaniel had become Azalea's fiancé!
In the past four years, Saskia had imagined countless times how they might meet again, but never like this!
Saskia suppressed the pain in her heart and looked up. "I have no right, but Azalea is innocent. If you want revenge, come at me, don't hurt her."Nathaniel's lips twisted into a cold smile. "You don't get to demand anything from me. You just agreed to be my lover. Find a way to move in with Azalea to my villa, or I'll spill everything about our past and present. How about that?"
Saskia was sure of one thing: Nathaniel didn't love Azalea. This was all about revenge on her. He had known Azalea's identity from the start and had planned every step to drag Saskia into this mess!
Realizing she had no choice, Saskia replied, "Don't tell her. I'll find a way."
"Good. Tonight, I want to see you act like a dog. Make sure to satisfy me," Nathaniel said, pressing closer. His breath was hot against her ear, but there was no intimacy, only endless coldness.
Saskia forced herself to leave step by step. Soon, she was outside.
Azalea came to her side. "George couldn't find anyone right away, so I had someone go to the pharmacy to get you some medicine. Saskia, later I'll take those jewelry pieces to sell and pay Benjamin's medical bills."
Those words pierced Saskia's heart like sharp arrows. Azalea cared so much about her and Benjamin, but because of her, Nathaniel had set a trap!
Saskia didn't want Azalea to do that and said, "Don't. Those pieces were gifts from your fiancé. If you sell them, how will you explain it to him?"
Azalea held Saskia's hand and said, "Once they're given to me, they're mine. Besides, George said we'll get married three months after the engagement."
She added, "Saskia, those pieces aren't very expensive. When George and I get our salaries, we'll pool the money and see if we can get Benjamin's surgery done sooner."
She was full of hope.
But Saskia caught on to the problem. "Is he just an ordinary employee like you?" she asked.
"I'm just the secretary, and he's a lawyer. But he currently owns a house and a car. It's hard to ask for money directly, but the jewelry he gave me can be sold. After we get married, I'll see if I can borrow some money from him or take out a mortgage," Azalea said, confident in her plan.
But Nathaniel was lying. Nathaniel was a star, the best lawyer in Willow Creek. But Saskia couldn't expose everything in front of Azalea. Nathaniel's words echoed in her mind.
In the end, Saskia took a deep breath, digging her nails into her palm, and said hoarsely, "Don't ask him for money, or he'll get suspicious. I'll handle the medical bills. But can I move in with you? My landlord just messaged me saying they need the place back."
Hearing this, Azalea was overjoyed. "Of course, there's plenty of room. I actually wanted you to move in with me. I'm pregnant!"
Saskia felt like she was struck by lightning, a chill running through her. Azalea was pregnant!
"Saskia, I know you've been using your past experiences to remind me not to make the same mistakes, but George is really good to me. When he found out I was pregnant, he proposed right away. I've even thought of a name for the baby, Samuel York." With that, Azalea instinctively touched her belly.
At that moment, Saskia didn't know how to describe her feelings. Azalea was pregnant! But Nathaniel didn't love her, and he wanted Saskia to move in. If Nathaniel had any hidden agendas, what would Saskia do?
As Saskia was still lost in thought, Azalea's voice came through once more. "George, where have you been? I've been looking for you."
