Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 2820

Taking a deep breath, Lana forced herself to say, “…Well… Is it possible if… I don’t return to your place first…? I just… Don’t want the others to know about our marriage yet…”

Though he was slightly disheartened to hear that, James eventually nodded before replying, “Fine, though… Do you plan to live separately?”

…Though she’d love to, she knew that asking for that would be too much, even for James. With that, she eventually replied, “…You could live at my place if you don’t mind… It’s an apartment unit and I’m staying there alone, so-”

“Deal!” interrupted James, momentarily startling Lana who was starting to regret her decision. Alas, they were legally married, so… she had to do her part to try to make things work as well…!

When they finally arrived at Lana’s place, James was quick to notice that aside from all the pastel-colored furniture and wallpaper, there were wine bottles everywhere… Hell, there was even a pile of clothes on the living room sofa…

It was at that moment that Lana finally remembered that she hadn’t cleaned up after that night! The night when she had decided to start her life anew! Simply put, she had been too sad to care about her lifestyle for a while, and since she wasn’t expecting anyone to live with her at the time…! Damn it, if only she had cleaned up at least a little! He was definitely going to assume that she was a sloppy woman now!

Before she could start cleaning up, however, she was startled to hear him say, “Nice place you have here…”

“…Is… that sarcasm…?”

Shaking his head, James chuckled before saying, “Negative. It’s a genuine compliment.”

Sure, there were bottles everywhere and the couch was unkept, but… aside from that, everything looked prim and proper. Besides, he had a rough idea why she had been drinking in the first place…

Once he had hung up, Lana was quick to ask, “H-how are his injuries looking…? Are they serious…?”

Getting even gloomier than before, James replied, “…Just some minor injuries that are already being attended to. She just called to inform me about them, that’s all.”

…Even if the injuries were minor, what if he accidentally got them infected? The more she thought about it, the more worried she became… and in the end, she was prompted to say, “…I should give him a proper check-up! Wait here!”

Putting the clothes aside, she was just about to run off when James suddenly grabbed her hand and asked, “…Are you that worried about my brother?”
