Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1021: Brother, I’m Pregnant with Justin Xavier’s Child
At that time, Serena was pregnant...
The last word "pregnant" made Justin Xavier freeze, he looked at Hayden Crawford, "What do you mean?"
Hayden Crawford was also unsure, since men don’t usually pay attention to these matters, "I just said it offhandedly, you can take it lightly, but when my Serena was pregnant, her appetite suddenly changed, she especially craved sour food, there’s an old saying: sour means a boy, spicy means a girl..."
Before Hayden could finish speaking, Justin Xavier had already turned to leave.
Suddenly, Hayden felt a bit uneasy, he thought he might have...caused trouble...
Considering Leah Thorne’s health, pregnancy was unlikely, but if Leah was pregnant, Serena would definitely know, both Serena and Leah were hiding it from Justin Xavier, now he accidentally exposed it...he might have to go home and kneel on durians tonight.
Hayden shouted quickly towards Justin’s back, "Hey President Xavier, I didn’t say anything!"
Don’t betray me!
...
Justin Xavier went out to buy candied hawthorn, Leah Thorne soon followed, she had to see her brother.
Outside Tanya’s neighboring ward were several bodyguards, this formation likely meant her brother Cain Shaw had arrived.
Leah waited for a while, then with a "tap", the ward door opened, Cain Shaw’s tall and straight figure walked out.
Cain Shaw was out.
Leah’s heart tightened, her gaze followed.
At that moment, Cain Shaw lifted his head and looked at her, their eyes met briefly in the air, Cain soon looked away, "Stay here and guard well."
"Sir Cain, where are you going?"
"To the restroom, do you need to follow me too?" Cain kicked a subordinate, then with hands in pockets, walked into the men’s restroom.
Leah followed, when there was no one around, she pushed open the restroom door and went inside.
Inside the restroom, Cain leaned slightly on the washbasin, seeing his sister, he raised his enchanting eyes, opened his arms, "Sister, come, let your brother hold you."
Leah’s pale eye sockets quickly reddened, she rushed over, into Cain’s arms, "Brother, I missed you."
Cain embraced Leah firmly, his large hand rubbed her curls, "Sister, I missed you too, I came late."
Leah shook her head, her beautiful eyes filled with mist, she knew these years her brother must have survived many close calls, living in constant danger, "As long as you’re alive, I once thought you were dead."
Cain’s handsome brows furrowed deeply, his enchanting eyes showed a hint of coldness, yet he said nothing, instead, he glanced cautiously at the door, "Sister, did you receive the ticket? Leave with me in two days, I’ll take you away from here."
Leah’s heart trembled, she slowly released Cain.
Cain looked at her, "Sister, you don’t want to leave with me? Because of the Xavier family’s son...Justin Xavier?"
Though Cain hadn’t returned all these years, he always heard of Leah’s news, that she was adopted by the Xavier family, Justin Xavier’s love for her was renowned throughout the city.
Later she and Justin Xavier had many stories, chaotic and entangled.
Cain recalled many years ago, seeing the young Justin Xavier outside the Thorne family’s home.
"Brother, yes, I can’t leave here, I want to stay, I want to be with Justin Xavier."
"You fell in love with Justin Xavier?"
Leah nodded, "Um, I fell in love, always have."
"Does he love you?"
Well...
Leah looked up at Cain.
Cain quickly frowned, "You’re not sure? He never told you he loves you?"
Leah was unsure because she and Justin Xavier had a mistaken start, he always thought the Thorne family wronged the Xavier family, ten years of affection was just to lure her into love and then destroy her.
However, saying he doesn’t love her, she can’t believe either.
Seeing his sister so indecisive, Cain’s lips slightly curled, "Leave with me in two days, if he loves you, he’ll surely find me, he’ll find you."
Leah knew Cain deeply held resentment against the Xavier family, as the eldest of the Thorne family, Cain wouldn’t forgive the Xaviers, she felt the same way, yet...there was Justin Xavier in the Xavier family...
"Sister, mom and dad are gone, as the eldest brother I must oversee your lifelong affairs, our Thorne family’s cherished Aurora cannot be casually given to that Xavier kid, leave with me in two days, until then let’s not meet, to prevent causing you trouble." Cain released Leah, ready to leave.
"Brother." Leah suddenly called Cain.
Cain turned to look at Leah.
"Brother, I’m pregnant, I’m carrying Justin Xavier’s child." Leah said slowly.
Cain’s expression changed, his gaze fell on Leah’s flat belly.
Suddenly, movement sounded outside the door, Carney Shaw’s voice was heard, "Where’s your Sir Cain? He said he went to the restroom why’s he taking so long, isn’t he meeting some beauty, I’ll go check."
Carney’s hand was about to grip the door handle, the restroom door might open any second.
Leah held her breath instantly, she didn’t expect Carney to show up.
If Carney saw her with Cain, her brother Mort Thorne’s identity would soon be exposed.
Her brother wasn’t alone, he was admired by many.
Leah felt immense regret, this time she was too rash, her brother became the Shaw family’s son, with suspicions from Old Shaw on one side, pressure from Carney on the other, her brother couldn’t afford any missteps, but she risked meeting him for Justin Xavier, if anything happened to her brother, she would be to blame.
Leah’s mind was chaotic when Cain extended his large hand to her shoulder.
Leah looked up at Cain.
Cain softly said, "It’s okay, don’t be scared, hide inside, whatever happens don’t come out, what’s a mere Carney Shaw, I’m not afraid of him."
Settling Carney was easy, but it would bring many troubles.
Yet, there’s no choice, his identity can’t be exposed, once exposed, Leah would be the most vulnerable.
Seeing her brother’s calm and composed expression, Leah had to suppress her panic, she couldn’t help under these circumstances, protecting herself was the least she could do to not be a burden to her brother, so Leah obediently hid.
Once Leah was hidden, Cain pocketed his hands, walked towards the door.
Carney outside was ready to open the door.
In the next moment, cries of astonishment came from a subordinate, "Someone jumped out to escape, we caught her! We captured her!"
Carney immediately released the door handle upon hearing this, turned and ran, "Follow me quickly!"
