Secret Wife Real Billionaire (by Ela) novel Chapter 263

Catherine’s gloating tone was a stark contrast to her demeanor after being expelled from the University.

“Oh, congratulations,"Renee responded, her tone indifferent.

Why should Catherine’s pregnancy matter to her?

She had no intention of spending any money on a baby shower gift.

That money would be better spent elsewhere!

Catherine, expecting a different reaction, noticed Andrew’s gaze lingering on Renee.

Frustration washed over her face as her smile faded.

“You better find a way to explain that past incident to Nana!" she snapped at Renee, then turned to Andrew. "Come on, let's show your parents the baby's report."

“What incident?"Sarah inquired, puzzled.

Renee just shook her head, feigning ignorance. "No idea what she's talking about."

Yet, the need to explain things to Naomi was indeed pressing.

Sarah, still confused, wondered aloud, "Is Catherine delusional? What the hell was going on in her head?"

Renee speculated, "She's likely worried I still have feelings for Drew."

Considering Catherine had previously taken him away from Renee, it was natural for her to harbor feelings of insecurity.

“She's not the sharpest tool in the shed,"Sarah remarked, rolling her eyes at Catherine’s ridiculous concerns.

She remembered Andrew’s gloomy face, adding, "Drew didn't look thrilled, did he? It was as if he'd received bad news instead of celebrating impending fatherhood."

Renee had insights into Andrew’s complex family situation, understanding his lack of enthusiasm. "He probably isn't keen on having the child, but his family is, particularly as it would be the first great-grandchild for the King family's patriarch,"Renee speculated.

He sighed, filled with regret. He wanted to reach out to Renee, but she had blocked his number.

News of her recent achievements had reached him – stirring the pot at Vivian’s party, making waves at Meloria Fashion Week, and becoming a favored figure of the luxury brand Light. Renee,once deemed unworthy due to her background, was now outshining her past, emerging more luminous than ever in Andrew’s eyes.

While some young elites grumbled about her bold demeanor, deep down, they were all drawn to her allure – a woman who combined an air of innocence with the wildness of a little wildcat. Envy often accompanies the inability to attain what one desires.

He was intent on ending things with Catherine, a relationship he viewed as a farce. Yet, her pregnancy threw a wrench in his plans.

She went as far as informing Felicia and Gary directly, eliminating any opportunity he had to address the situation discreetly.

To his relief, his parents were only interested in Catherine’s child and had no expectations of him marrying her.
