Chapter 216 False Pregnancy Alarm
“Quinn, are you pregnant?” Harlan stared straight at her.
“I–I’m not…” Quinn began, but before she could finish, Harlan had already yanked Julius to his feet.
“Julius Whitethorn, how could you treat her so casually? What underhanded trick did you use?” Harlan roared.
If Quinn really is pregnant, does that mean Julius crossed the line with her before I even left Yarburn? Did Quinn start dating him because he forced her?
Harlan’s mind painted its own worst–case scenario.
Julius collected himself and met Harlan’s blazing eyes. “If Quinn is carrying my child, it’s only because she wanted to. You’re meddling in things that aren’t your concern, Harlan.”
“What did you just say?” Harlan’s fury spiked.
“We’re a couple, and you are only her kid brother. Don’t forget your place,” Julius shot back.
Harlan swung his fist without warning, and the two men erupted into a brawl in the private dining room.
Quinn clutched her aching head. “Knock it off–both of you!”
Julius knows perfectly well I’m not pregnant. Why is he playing along?
Laura, adding fuel to the fire, chirped, “Quinn, you’re really pregnant? Since when? Remember, I want to be your baby’s godmother!”
Laura’s comment made Harlan hit Julius even harder.
Quinn shot her instigating friend a glare; Laura only blinked back innocently.
“I am not pregnant!” she declared, rose, and strode between the two combatants, planting a palm on each man’s chest to hold them apart.
Both men, terrified of hurting Quinn, instantly pulled back their fists.
“Have you two caused enough chaos? I’m not pregnant. It’s the same old stomach problem–I just need a couple of antacids. And another thing,” she added, glaring at the oversized children before her, “even if I were pregnant, that’s no reason to start a street fight! I’m not some helpless damsel–no one can force me into pregnancy! If I ever do decide to have a baby, it’ll be because I want one!”
Her words made both men cycle through a kaleidoscope of expressions in seconds.
“All right, all right–let’s just eat,” Laura interjected, slicing through the awkward silence.
Only then did the four of them/resume eating.
When the meal finally ended, Julius turned to Quinn. “We’re stopping by the hospital.”
“Are you feeling unwell?” Quinn assumed the lingering perfume from earlier was still bothering him
