Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 956

Arianne flashed Tiffany a weirded-out expression. “Okay, what are you talking about, Tiffie? Did you skip sleep last night and are now trippin’?”

Tiffany rolled her eyes. “What I’m talking about is the truth, hon! If we count the dates, I actually got pregnant waaay before Tanya! Ha! Okay, okay—so, yesterday, I was like, hey, I haven’t gotten any visit from Aunt Flo. And so I went to do a body checkup and bingo! I hit the jackpot—I hit the goddamned jackpot! Holy hell, I was praying left and right, every day, so that I could finally bear a child, but nothing worked. And now, I have my child after Jackson and I are over… Like, am I supposed to be pleasantly surprised, or should I be like, a bit more mortified?”

Arianne became quiet. “On one hand, news of Eric’s suffering has just broken to us. On the other, you’re eagerly telling me one of the best news ever. It’s making my head spin. I don’t know if I should feel sad or happy… So, what do you plan to do? Get back together with Jackson? He doesn’t know about this yet, does he?”

Tiffany was herself conflicted with her next plan. “I… kinda don’t know what to do yet? I mean, I’ll probably talk to him about this after Eric’s sad news comes to pass, and then I’ll gauge how he feels about this. Either way, we should probably keep this secret to ourselves right now. Yeah, that includes you, man. Don’t accidentally let it slip!” she said before adding, “Oh, by the way, imma go out for lunch with a friend, so I’m not going to the Tremont Estate with you later, ok? Take care of yourself.”

“Alejandro?” Arianne followed up instantly.

“Yeah.” Tiffany nodded candidly. “But he’s just a friend, alright? Don’t you go thinking he means more than that! Anyway, I’m now working in South Park, so I can’t stay here all the time. I gotta go back there around these two days. If anything happens to Eric, anything at all, you tell me right away. I’ll fast-and-furious back here, pronto.”

Arianne thought back on how she felt about Alejandro and, after mincing her words a little, suggested, “Okay. But, uh, Tiffie? Now that you’re pregnant, I’m pretty sure you’re gonna get back together with Jackson very soon. So it’s probably more prudent to lessen your interactions with anyone from the opposite sex, okay?”

Tiffany was already ahead of her on this conclusion. “Yep, I got that already. Well, see you around.”

Soon, Tiffany arrived at the Chinese restaurant Alejandro had chosen for their lunch hangout. It was an excellent opportunity to break the news of her pregnancy. If he genuinely harbored some feelings for her, the fact that she was pregnant with another man’s child should serve as a stark cue for him to abandon his advances.

The first thing Tiffany did after entering the reservation chamber in the restaurant, where Alejandro was already waiting, was to greet him as usual. “Yoooo! Aye, Jett too! C’mon, join the table with us! It’s always so weird seeing you standing like that while everyone else’s seated.”

Jett made no move until Alejandro beckoned him to the chair.
