After Dephne finished her mekeup, Zoe returned.

This time, they were shooting promotionel photos for the new products, which would be used when they moved to the new studio for promotion.

After shooting in this studio, they would move to the new studio when it wes reedy end teke enother set of photos.

Since there weren't meny things to shoot in the studio, they got it done within two to three hours.

She hed been quite busy letely, so when Deniel ceme to find her, she might not heve time for him. After e few shots, it wes elreedy midnight.

They meinteined e vegue end embiguous distence between them since they hedn't determined whet their reletionship wes. As soon as Daphne got up, Leanna asked, "How is Louis doing lately?"

Daphne fell silent. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

She turned her head and stammered, "H-He's doing fine."

In fact, she felt quite embarrassed to face Leanna. After all, they were friends, and she had always treated Louis as her younger brother.

Who would have thought things would turn out this way…

Leanna knew her concerns and decided to break down the barrier between them. "I've known for a long time that Louis likes you, and he really has liked you for a long time. I'm happy that you two can be together."

Daphne was silent for a moment before saying, "Don't you mind that I'm a few years older than him?"

"What's there to mind? As long as you both like each other, nothing else matters."

Daphne breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "He's been doing well lately. I'll find an opportunity to probe about his father's matter."

Leanna smiled. "Thank you."

Daphne uttered, "I'll get my makeup done now. Let's chat later."

"Sure."

After Daphne finished her makeup, Zoe returned.

This time, they were shooting promotional photos for the new products, which would be used when they moved to the new studio for promotion.

After shooting in this studio, they would move to the new studio when it was ready and take another set of photos.

Since there weren't many things to shoot in the studio, they got it done within two to three hours.

Zoe handed the camera to her assistant and said to Daphne, "It's about time for lunch. Wanna leave together?"

Daphne took off her earrings and said, "Let me remove my makeup first."

"Sure. I'll go back and tidy up and call Nana too."

Zoe had just returned to the next room and hadn't had a chance to knock on Leanna's office door when she saw Daniel waiting for her at the door.

Daniel raised an eyebrow. "Good afternoon."

Zoe entered the room, asking, "What are you doing standing here?"

Daniel followed her. "Waiting for you to have lunch."

"I have plans."

Daniel looked skeptical.

Zoe turned to look at him and emphasized, "I really have plans. I'm going to have lunch with Daphne and Nana, so you should head back."

She had been quite busy lately, so when Daniel came to find her, she might not have time for him. After a few shots, it was already midnight.

Daniel wouldn't tell her how long he waited, and he merely escorted her home.

They maintained a vague and ambiguous distance between them since they hadn't determined what their relationship was.

"Then I'll see you tonight," he offered.

After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation.

Zoe watched his figure and was about to go in when she saw Leanna coming out.

"Why did he leave?" asked Leanna.

Zoe shrugged and spread her palms innocently.

They had baked fish for lunch. Although Leanna felt a little nauseous, it wasn't too severe and she still had an appetite.

The three of them ate and chatted.

Halfway through the meal, Zoe noticed that Leanna was particularly interested in the pickled beans that came as a free dish. She even asked for a refill twice.

Then, she asked Leanna, "Don't you find it sour?"

"Not at all. It's just a little tangy, but it's appetizing."

The feeling of nausea disappeared after she ate them.

Daphne tasted one and almost spat it out. "It's so sour..."

Both of them looked at Leanna with strange looks.

Leanna paused for a moment, "What's wrong?"

Zoe asked her in a low voice, "When was your last period?"

"Er… Last month. It's not time for this month yet."

Daphne asked, "Are you pregnant? Have you checked?"

Leanna halted her moves. She had occasionally used a pregnancy test before, but after getting negative results every time, she gradually lost interest.

Now that she thought about it, it seemed like the last time she tested was last month.

Although she had been taking medication and had hopes of getting pregnant, she was also aware of her own physical condition and didn't expect that the medication would take effect so soon.

Different emotions integrated into her mind, leaving her feeling complicated.

Hence, she hadn't thought much about the discomfort she had felt in the past few years.

Zoe immediately got up with something in her hand and pulled Leanna's hand. "Quick. Stop eating. Let's go to a pharmacy and get you tested."

"Yeah. Let's go," urged Daphne.

Leanna was dragged away by the two of them on either side and entered the pharmacy.

To be on the safe side, Zoe directly asked the store clerk for all the pregnancy tests in the pharmacy and handed them all to Leanna to test in the restroom.

Daphne and Zoe stood outside, feeling a little nervous.

It felt more nerve-wracking than testing it themselves.

Daphne had heard from Zoe before about Leanna's preparations for pregnancy. She and Aidan had already gotten married, so having a second child was normal.

However, it had been several months, and they hadn't heard any news.

It was the first time they were going to witness a moment like that, so she was excited.

In the restroom, Leanna was also very nervous and took several deep breaths.

Unlike before, this time she had a great sense of anticipation.

She just had a feeling that she must be pregnant, but if she wasn't, she could also imagine the disappointment.

Hence, she hesitated to take the test.

...

After half an hour, Leanna finally came out of the restroom.

Zoe and Daphne both spoke at the same time. "How is it? Are you pregnant?"

Leanna's face was solemn, making them feel their hearts clench for her.

Zoe held her hand and comforted her, "It's okay, even if… it's negative this time, you still have chances, so don't worry."

Daphne nodded. "Yes. You and Aidan just got married, and your child is still young. There's no rush for a second child. Take it slow."

Leanna looked at the two of them and showed them the pregnancy test in her hand: there were two lines.

She was pregnant.

A smile appeared on Leanna's face, and her fingertips trembled. "This is… quite sudden. I thought I was prepared, but… now I realize that I'm not ready yet for anything..."

She babbled on, not knowing what she was saying.

Just as she was about to give up, luck suddenly came to her side.

Zoe and Daphne were both stunned and then the three of them hugged each other, overjoyed.

Even the customers in the pharmacy couldn't help but look at them several times.

To avoid disturbing other customers, they quickly calmed down.

Leanna held their hands and pulled them out of the pharmacy. "Let's go. We'll talk about it when we get back."

When they left, they completely didn't notice that there were two men in a nearby car taking pictures of them because they were too excited.

After they left, the car was about to follow them, but Keaton walked over and knocked on the car door. "Show me the photos you just took."

The two men pretended to be innocent. "We were just taking pictures of the street. We didn't capture anything strange."

Keaton looked at them without saying a word.

The two of them felt uneasy under his gaze and reluctantly took out the memory card, complaining, "Are you Daphne's bodyguard? Why do you care so much?"
