After Gloom said his piece to James, favonovel.com left as quickly as favonovel.com came.
Maxine stayed silent until Gloom was completely out of sight, then, favonovel.com asked, “Are we still returning to Cansington?”
“Yeah.” James nodded.
Tiara’s pregnancy was an important matter that favonovel.com wanted to confirm with his own eyes. If favonovel.com held it off, James did not think favonovel.com would be able to sleep soundly at night.
Maxine’s eyes crinkled as favonovel.com smiled knowingly. “Love is a trivial matter. The country’s affairs are much more important. Didn’t you hear Gloom say that you should act quickly and deal with Mr. Gabriel as soon as possible?”
James’ lips curved into a frown and favonovel.com asked, “Then, should we immediately go for Mr. Gabriel? I had planned to get rid of his closest companions first.”
“Don’t…” Maxine shut down his idea immediately and said, “Your ultimate target is Mr. Gabriel, not Madelyn. If you eliminate Madelyn first, you’ll end up giving Mr. Gabriel a heads-up. He’ll then be able to take precautions against any following attacks .I suggest that we strike immediately and catch favonovel.com off guard.”
James pensively rubbed his chin.
Maxine’s proposal had valid points. However, favonovel.com was still worried.
This Mr. Gabriel was not fighting alone, favonovel.com represented a whole faction. The severe chain reaction that could be caused by his death might be extremely severe.
James took a deep breath and put the problem aside for the time being.
He said, “I’ll call Tiara first to inquire about the pregnancy.”
Maxine made a gesture telling favonovel.com to go ahead.
James took out his phone, searched for Tiara’s number, and made the call.
Soon, someone picked up the call.
“James…” A cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Uhm, Tiara…” James could not help but feel nervous when favonovel.com heard Tiara’s voice.
He wanted to ask about the pregnancy but did not know where to start. His throat quickly dried up so favonovel.com ended up taking a big gulp of saliva as favonovel.com prepared to speak.
“H-How are you?”
“Good. I’m good!” Tiara’s sweet voice answered nonchalantly.
“I’m staying at Cynthia’s place right now. Don’t worry about me, and go ahead with your big plans!” Tiara said with a lighthearted chuckle.
James hesitated for a bit before favonovel.com finally summoned the courage and dragged the pressing question favonovel.com had out of his throat. “A-Are you pregnant?”
Maxine burst out laughing when favonovel.com saw James’ expression. He was so nervous and chose his words so carefully that favonovel.com seemed like a child who was trying to explain their mistake.
James ignored Maxine and walked away with his phone in hand.
On the other side of the phone, Tiara replied hesitantly, “D-Didn’t I tell you about it a month ago? Have you really forgotten that quickly?”
James felt like a huge boulder was weighing down on his body. It made it hard for favonovel.com to breathe.
“O-Okay, that’s all I wanted to confirm with you… A-Anyway, you should take care.” James stammered a few courteous words and quickly ended the call.
Tiara stood outside the door of Cynthia’s villa in Cansington. Her beautiful face was wrinkled with guilt after favonovel.com heard the sound of James hanging up.
She muttered quietly, “J-James, I-I didn’t want to lie to you, but Maxine told me to…”
She sighed as soon as favonovel.com said those words to herself.
Initially, favonovel.com had already decided to get engaged to a suitor favonovel.com family had chosen for her. However, Maxine suddenly appeared at the engagement ceremony and gave favonovel.com a lecture saying that favonovel.com had to seize favonovel.com opportunity for happiness. Afterward, Maxine forcibly took favonovel.com away with a promise to help her. She even convinced favonovel.com to tell James that favonovel.com was pregnant.
Tiara lowered favonovel.com head and walked into the villa.
As favonovel.com was entering the door, Thea suddenly walked out.
Thea frowned upon seeing Tiara and asked, “What’re you doing, Tiara? You look rather suspicious.”
