Consuela bit her lower lip, lowered her head and said nothing.
She didn't retort, but acquiesced.
The joy of reunion disappeared in an instant. Nicole couldn't believe that Consuela was pregnant,
although it was obvious that this was the truth.
"It's from Bevis isn't it?" Asked Nicole softly.
Consuela nodded and walked back to the living room. Sitting on the sofa, she said indifferently, " I knew
it not long time ago after I left A City."
Thinking of the message from Consuela, Nicole sat down and asked slowly, "that's why you are
emotionally unstable, isn't it?"
"Yes." With a bitter smile, Consuela continued, "I was scared when I first found out. I wanted to contact
you at that time, but I didn't have the guts and I was too embarrassed to do that. I didn't want to delay
until now."
"If I hadn't come here this time, wouldn't you have told me?"
"I don't know. Nicole, I don't know how to tell you. Do you understand? "
Nicole couldn't help but sigh, "Consuela, I understand your difficulties, but how can you bear such a big
thing alone? As your friend, if I can't be with you when you are in the most painful time, what's the
meaning of my existence?"
"Nicole..."
"No matter what happens in the future, you must tell me and let me handle it with you, okay?"
Tears welled up in her eyes, Consuela sniffed and said slowly, "okay."
The two of them kept silent for a while. Looking at Consuela's belly, Nicole asked, "are you going to
keep this baby?"
"Yes..." Without any hesitation, Consuela answered seriously, "although I broke up with Bevis, this baby
is also carrying my blood. He will come to this world soon. I can't just kill him like this."
"I do understand."
"And I want to give birth to this baby because it's Bevis's. "
Nicole shook her head helplessly and sighed, "Consuela, you still can't let him go."
"It's not that easy." Consuela stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the sky outside, she said
sadly, "the more I want to forget him these days, the more I can't forget him. I don't know if I'm in love
with him or not. I don't know if it's just my obsession."
Nicole didn't interrupt Consuela. She just listened to her quietly.
"Besides, he has lost a child. I hate that woman, so I can't be like her." With a faint smile, Consuela
continued, "and I have my own selfish motive. As long as I have this child, I will have a close
relationship with Bevis all my life."
"Are you going to sacrifice your whole life for the sake of Bevis? What if you fall in love with someone
else after a period of time? " Guessed Nicole. She didn't want to see Consuela fall so deeply.
Shaking her head, Consuela said, "it's hard, Nicole. Don't you find that as we get older, it's really
difficult for us to fall in love with someone so much."
"Yes..."
"If you break up with Jacob one day, will you still love others as if you like him?" Consuela asked Nicole
in return.
Nicole paused and shook her head.
Not to mention in the future, during this period of time, she also found that although she married Austin,
her feelings for Austin were far less deep than for Jacob.
Perhaps people's hearts were there. Once a person walked in and filled it, the others would no longer
have a vacant seat.
"Consuela... Is there anything I can do for you? " Nicole asked Consuela.
Consuela shook her head. "Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself."
"Really?"
"Don't worry."
In the evening, Nicole made dinner in the kitchen of Consuela. The two of them were chatting during
dinner. When they finished their dinner, Jacob came to pick up Nicole.
"Consuela, I'll come to see you tomorrow morning."
"Okay." With the presence of Jacob, Consuela put on a smile and told Jacob and Nicole, "it's getting
late. You two should be careful on the way."
Jacob nodded, "Thank you."
Knowing that Consuela was pregnant, Nicole refused Consuela to go downstairs to see her off. She
said goodbye to Consuela at the door and then went downstairs arm in arm with Jacob.
"Let's go back to the hotel." Jacob suggested.
"Okay." Replied Nicole.
On the way, Nicole didn't say anything. She looked out of the window at the houses and the street view
passing by, feeling very sad.
Consuela was her friend. She didn't want her to be so sad and wronged. However, Consuela
repeatedly told her not to tell this to Bevis. Consuela didn't want to make things difficult for him.
Even at this point, Consuela was still thinking about Bevis.
Nicole believed that if Consuela made a scene during her pregnancy, Bevis would reconsider the
break-up. After all, Consuela was pregnant with his child.
Obviously, Consuela didn't want to do so nor tell Bevis about it. She had to raise her child as a single
mother.
"What are you thinking about?" Jacob suddenly asked Nicole.
Turning her head, Nicole looked into Jacob's dark eyes and asked in a low voice, "how much should
one like another person, so that he would not even have the bottom line."
The smile on Jacob's face disappeared slowly.
Nicole continued, "this is not the Consuela I knew before. She was so careless that she won't bully
herself or compromise easily even if things turn upside down. But now... Now she has changed into
another person because of Bevis. "
She used to cursing the scum, having the sense of justice, and extremely cared about judgment of the
people around her. But now, it turned to be that she was disappointed or unwilling to give up, but would
rather give birth to a child without a name.
The change was so huge that Nicole could hardly accept it.
After staring at Nicole for a long time, Jacob turned his head to look at the air in front of him and said
coldly, "when a person really likes another person, that person will be his bottom line."
When he said this, his hand, which was originally resting on his legs, suddenly tightened. Because this
sentence was also his reflection.
Nicole was the bottom line for him.
If he didn't really like her, he wouldn't give Nicole another chance. He wouldn't open his heart again
when he was about to take revenge and play with her.
But he would not tell these to Nicole.
He would try his best to grasp the love that belonged to him, and would also fight for possession in his
own way, but he would not beg for mercy and charity.
