Was she determined to keep that distance, refusing him entry and reverting to Mr. Channing‘ once more!
Each weekend for the next two weeks, Shane swung by to ferry Celia back to the Channing household to see Rose
Although she maintained her standoffish demeanor by addressing him formally, once at the Channing residence, she morphed into a different person, showcasing her acting prowess.
Yet, she made a point to steer clear of any physical contact with him.
Unlocking the door on a sunny Friday afternoon, Celia hummed a tune.
Earlier, she’d submitted her internship qualification from K Magazine to Kordale University, eagerly awaiting her graduation certificate as a result of her diligent efforts.
She had braced herself for Samantha’s resistance, but to her surprise, obtaining the qualification had been a breeze.
Lately, Samantha seemed changed, refraining from stirring up trouble for her at work.
At first, Celia toyed with the idea of staying at K Magazine, but Samantha’s presence there quickly nixed that plan.
Being a top–tier city, Kordale undoubtedly offered a plethora of opportunities for journalists, and Celia was confident she’d land a stellar gig
After dropping her bag. Celia made her way to the kitchen to whip up a bowl of veggie and egg noodles. However, she barely nibbled at her meal before feeling queasy and dashing to the bathroom to vomit.
Once she’d composed herself, she cleared her throat, scrutinized her reflection in the mirror, and mulled over her condition. Am I catching a cold?
The realization hit Celia like a ton of bricks: amidst her father’s accident, the company’s collapse, and mounting debt, she’d forgotten to take emergency contraception after losing her virginity. Her boyfriend’s infidelity did not help with the anxiety either. And now, with over ten days since her last period, the possibility of pregnancy loomed large.
The next morning, with a heavy heart, Celia made her way to the hospital for a check–up
Leaving the doctor’s office with the pregnancy test report in hand, she trembled, grappling with the harsh reality staring back
at her.
Pregnant? How did this happen!
She had no clue who the man from that night even was.
What on earth would she do if the baby came?
Despite the uncertainties, Celia made up her mind to see the pregnancy through and raise the child solo.
Meanwhile, Samantha and Crystal emerged from another room, spotting Celia.
“Why’s she here?” Samantha’s brow furrowed.
“I’m clueless,” Crystal responded with a casual glance in her direction.
Samantha’s caution deepened. “Crystal, can you figure out what Celia’s been up to today?”
“Absolutely, Crystal assured her, then asked, “What’s the plan for the pregnancy?”
Il bring Shane into the picture. Frank just came back and spilled the beans about that night. Shane can’t deny it anymore.” Samantha smirked.
Crystal nodded knowingly, and the two sauntered off in a different direction.
Lost in thought, Celia made her way to the bus stop after leaving the hospital

“Got it.”
“Need a ride?”
“Nah. I’ll grab a taxi and be there soon.”
Deciding against the bus, Celia hailed a taxi, arriving at Luxury Residence in a brisk twenty minutes
Without bothering to change, she hopped into Shanes car
Moments later, Shane’s calm demeanor shifted as he answered a phone call his expression darkening instantly
“What’s that? Repeat it.”
After a brief pause, Shane replied slowly. “Okay, I’m on my way
After dropping Celia off at the Channing family’s house, Shane excused himself, claiming work obligations, before driving away. It wasn’t until nightfall that he returned to fetch her.
During the ride back, his brow furrowed. lost in thought, maintaining an unusual silence
As they arrived at Luxury Residence. Celia opened the car door, with Shane trailing closely behind
“Celia, hold on a sec. Shane interjected as she turned to leave. I need to talk to you about something”
“Okay.” Celia paused, pivoting to face him once more.
“I think it’s time we terminate our agreement ahead of schedule. No need for the charade of us being a couple Shane declared, his features obscured by the dim streetlights.
Celia paused briefly before asking. “Could you tell me why?
“Samantha’s expecting” Shane confessed in a subdued tone after a moment’s silence
“I see” A smile broke across Celia’s face as she responded. “I feel a tad guilty. You’ve been so supportive, and 1.
“You’ve been great. Grandma’s been over the moon because of you.” Shane quickly reassured her. cutting in
Celia bowed her head, saying nothing at first
Then, she lifted her gaze and spoke. “I’ll find a new place soon.”
“No hurry. If you’re comfortable here, you can stay a bit longer. Once you’re settled in a job, we can talk rent.” Shane suggested, slipping in the rent cautiously.
“I think it’s wise not to. Rent might be steep, and I might not manage, Celia replied, a faint smile gracing her lips as her eyes shimmered.
I’ve got that jade bracelet for you, Hang tight. Il fetch it”
Rushing back with the bracelet, she found Shane had vanished.
A message awaited her on Instagram, detailing his sudden exit and delaying their chat about the bracelet.
Something came up. Gotta jet. We’ll talk later!
