Chapter 19 My parents' memorial was coming up that Saturday.

After a follow-up appointment at the hospital in the morning, I planned to visit their I graves. It wouldn't take long. But for sreason, I felt an unsettling unease that preventedfrom speaking confidently.

I couldn't bring myself to tell Bryant about my pregnancy the day before. Nor could I assure Christine today that I would bring Bryant along. I feared that plans might not keep pace with changes.

In my heart, Bryant and Margaret's relationship was like a ticking tbomb.

Seeingless than enthusiastic, Christine glanced toward Margaret's office. "Did Bryant sort out that Patek Philippe bitch?" "Pretty much," I said.

I didn't have the leisure to open up to her. After getting myself slemon water, I turned to leave. Margaret suddenly laughed. "I just can't stand you. You think you've won, huh? Jane, life is long."

We went to work together, chtogether, and he had Kevin deliver afternoon tea to my office daily, along with the occasional gift. "What do you fancy for dinner tonight?" As soon as I got into the car, Bryant asked.

I looked at him, raising an eyebrow. "You're cooking again?" He had been cooking dinner for the past several nights.

Even Emma, our housekeeper, looked at him with fear, worried she might be out of a jo With one hand on the Na jo With wheel, as we left the parking garage, Bryant replied smoothly. "Tire of it already?" "Not at all. Just curious. You rarely cooked before." I said: "From now on, as long as we're home, I'll cook Bryant promised.

"Oh I certainly wouldn't object.
