The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 548

Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Let me tell you a secret, my dad is pregnant.

When Scarlett Jennings returned to the Jennings Family, it was almost evening.

After the car stopped, Little Pretty happily cleared the path in front.

Soon, Ismeria Jennings ran out of the villa and spread her arms wide to hug Little Pretty.

"Pretty Princess, I missed you so much.

With you not at home, it feels like I’ve gone through so many autumns."

Little Pretty graciously let her hug for a moment, its chubby tail wagging behind.

Soon, Ismeria saw Scarlett walking over and released Little Pretty to run in front of Scarlett,

"Sister Scarlett, I missed you so much. Without you, it feels like the house is stuck in autumn."

Scarlett patted her on the head and simply said,

"It’s actually autumn right now."

Ismeria found this reasonable, nodded, and as if recalling something, beckoned Scarlett over,

"Sister Scarlett, bend down a bit, I have a secret to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Scarlett crouched down, and Ismeria immediately leaned into her ear and mysteriously said,

"Sister, soon I’ll have a little brother or sister, because my dad is pregnant!"

Scarlett: ...

What a coincidence, she knew about this matter.

Ismeria had actually learned online that men cannot have babies.

But precisely because of that, she thought her dad was amazing.

Other dads couldn’t do it, but her dad could.

It’s just a pity that her brother wouldn’t let her tell anyone.

Otherwise, her friends would surely be very envious of her.

"My brother said not to tell anyone about this, but since you’re family, I told you."

As Ismeria said this, she gazed at Scarlett, her little expression seemed to say, see how close we are.

Scarlett’s lips curled slightly, suddenly her eyes shifted, and she asked Ismeria,

"Did you congratulate your dad on this matter?"

Reminded of this, Ismeria’s little face suddenly froze, followed by a look of regret.

"Oh no, I forgot!"

Her brother didn’t let her spread it around and told her to act like she didn’t know, so Ismeria forgot about it.

Sister Scarlett was right, she needed to congratulate her dad.

Thinking this, Ismeria turned and ran back inside.

At dinnertime, hearing that Michael Jennings was not in a good mood and didn’t want to come out to eat, Scarlett felt not the slightest guilt and happily devoured two bowls of rice.

Seeing this, Flora Xalvadora merely said,

"They’re right, you shouldn’t live alone outside by yourself, or you’re likely not eating well."

Look at how hungry this child was.

Scarlett: ...

Feeling she had acted like a generous sister, Ismeria rewarded herself with two bowls of rice that evening as well.

As for Chase Jennings, he put his chopsticks down after just half a bowl.

"I’m full."

Flora Xalvadora watched worriedly,

"Why haven’t you had much of an appetite these past two days? You even look slimmer..."

His second uncle had a change of taste due to a false pregnancy.

Her own son couldn’t also be having a false pregnancy, right?

Flora Xalvadora expressed her concerns.

Lucas Jennings, sitting nearby, also turned worriedly towards his big brother, "Indeed, my brother’s little belly is gone."

Chase was speechless, turning his head, "I don’t have a little belly!"

Although he didn’t exercise as regularly as Brother Donovan, it wasn’t to the extent of having a little belly.

At most, just a bit of flab.

"How can I tell which stones have spiritual energy?"

Scarlett: ...

Silent for a moment, she pointed to the Benedict Jade piece in his hand, "It will tell you."

Adam: ...

Alright, though he didn’t understand, following instructions sufficed.

After completing the handover of the Benedict Jade piece with Adam, Scarlett returned to her room, only to unexpectedly find Chase waiting outside her door.

Towards Chase, Scarlett’s attitude was even cooler than towards Adam.

Seeing him staring at her with a complex expression, saying nothing, Scarlett had no intention of striking up a conversation and walked past him, opening the door to go inside.

Seeing this, Chase hurried to follow her, but Scarlett pulled the door halfway shut,

"Stop."

Chase, blocked outside, held his composure and spoke,

"I have something to talk to you about; let me come in."

Scarlett remained unmoved, "Say it here."

Seeing Scarlett genuinely not intending to let him in, Chase hesitated for two seconds, then suggested, "Let’s talk in the small lounge next to here."

Fearing she wouldn’t bother with him, Chase added,

"It’s really important, and it’s paid!"

Only then did Scarlett move her feet to accompany him.

Inside the small third-floor lounge, Chase first closed the door and then turned to Scarlett. After a while, somewhat awkward and tense, he began,

"Scarlett Jennings, I feel something is off with me, can you check if I’ve... also, been affected?"

Scarlett raised an eyebrow, "Affected?"

He mumbled for a while before finally biting the bullet,

"Just like second uncle with that... false pregnancy!"

Scarlett: ???
