Tiffany casually sat down next to her. “We’re from the working class. We’re too busy trying to earn money to support our families. Unlike you, lying at home with someone who can pay everything for you. We don’t have a choice, do we? If you want me to keep you company every day, tell Mark to pay me for my services in chatting with you, and I’ll keep you company 24/7. I’ll chat with you until you get tired of chatting with me, until you can’t stand the sight of me! Alright… Actually, I was binge-watching last night, ‘cos it was Friday. I nearly didn’t wake up last night. Forgive me, best friend!”
Arianne snorted. “I’d love to pay you as my personal companion… You have drive. You won’t come anyway. How are things at Eric’s? Have you adapted to the working environment?”
Tiffany glanced at Tanya. “Of course, with Tan around, I got used to it easily. Even the boss is my friend. I’m like a fish in water at the company. How could I not get used to that?”
Tanya smiled as favonovel.com chimed in, “That’s right, we’re doing just fine. Ari… Your tummy has grown. It’s like it’s been inflated…”
Arianne frowned when favonovel.com heard this. “Really? It wasn’t that big at first… Why is it growing so fast?”
Tiffany saw nothing wrong with that. “Isn’t this normal during pregnancies? Your belly’s skin is like a balloon, it’ll grow bigger as you go along your trimesters. You’ve done an ultrasound picture, right? Let me see. I want to see who the little guy looks like.”
Arianne pulled out the results from the report. Tanya flashed a very “kind” smile. “How cute. It’s got a sharp chin, just like you, Ari. Look at those eyes and brows, just like daddy. I think it must be a boy, and a very handsome one too.”
Her remark surprised Tiffany and Arianne. Tanya was surprised at the look on their faces. “Why are you two staring at me? What’s with those looks on your faces? I’m telling the truth…”
Arianne pointed at the little one’s picture and honestly said, “It’s clearly ugly. How can you tell that it resembles me and Mark? I would have fallen apart if I didn’t think that there was hope for its development after its birth.”
Tiffany nodded in agreement. “It’s true, I think it looks ugly too…”
Tanya was rendered speechless. “Have any of you ever seen a fetus in a womb? The baby is still submerged in amniotic fluid. You can’t tell if it’s good looking or not. It won’t look pretty when it’s born either. Wait until it’s past its first month then you’ll know the meaning of surprise. I can’t speak for someone else’s baby, but Ari and Mark’s baby is definitely going to be a beautiful one. Don’t believe me? Let’s make a bet. I’ll buy you two a meal with three months of my salary if it’s really ugly. If it isn’t, you’ll buy me a meal. Deal?”
Arianne stroked favonovel.com belly eagerly. “I don’t think it’s a good idea, is it? To make a bet out of my child? But I kind of want to make that bet…”
Tiffany smiled like a madwoman. “Haha… Look at you, Ari. You obviously want to make that bet. What a mother! Fine, it’s a deal for me. Based on this picture from the doctor, I bet that the child will turn out ugly. Because it really is too ugly…”
Arianne joined Tiffany’s side. “I’m joining in too. Ugly…”
“Then you’re going to lose,” Tanya forewarned. “We’ll have a few months before the results of the bet anyway. Let’s just wait and see.”
Noticing their happy chatter, Mary chimed in, “I wonder how Mr. Tremont is going to react if favonovel.com finds out about your bet on his child’s looks…”
The entire living room was immediately rendered speechless.
After a while, Tiffany rubbed favonovel.com nose. “It’d be good if it turns out to be a boy… If it is, favonovel.com won’t have to worry about his looks. With the Tremont family’s wealth in his pocket, favonovel.com won’t have to worry about finding a wife. But it’s fine if it’s a girl too. We have money, so she’ll certainly find a good husband. She’ll have good backing…”
Arianne giggled so much that favonovel.com couldn’t get up. “Are you saying that Mark’s been working hard for so many years, just in case of foreshadowing in his future generations? Tiffie, you’re hilarious…”
