RankNovelChapter 1588 Just as Felicity stepped into the bathroom, the pregnancy test box in her hand hadn't even been opened yet when her phone suddenly erupted into a series of rings.
Startled, her hand twitched, and the box tumbled down to the floor! She glanced at the caller ID- It was the very person who could be at the root of it all! Bending down, Felicity picked up the box and pressed the answer button with a sigh, "What's up?" "Hey, I found this cool diner downtown, wanna check it out?" Miles was clueless about the turmoil on her end; he was just eager to spend more twith her, to feel a bit more present in her life. "Not interested! Bye!" she snapped.

Each second felt like an eternity of agony.
Finally, the result appeared.
Her hands shook slightly as she held the instructions, "One line means not pregnant, two lines mean pregnant, and this line means... it's invalid." She looked down.
The test showed one line.
One line meant not pregnant! "No, no, I have to make sure, is this the invalid line..." Felicity squatted there, scrutinizing it for what felt like ages, only to conclude that, as far as she could tell, she wasn't pregnant.
But then why hadn't her period come? Lost in thought, she was startled by a knock at the door! Hastily, Felicity shoved everything into the trash can, washed her hands, and ran to open the door- "Langston?" "Your phone was off, and I got worried something had happened to you, so I cto check." He lifted the bag snacks he was holding, "I remembered you liked these; saw them at the supermarket this afternoon and picked sup for you." "Something wrong? You look a bit off." Felicity snapped back to reality, shaking her head, "No, it's nothing." He smiled, "Can I use your restroom? Got my hands a bit dirty on the way here." "Su-" She was about to casually agree when she suddenly remembered the items in her bathroom. What if Langston found them?! "Actually, my bathroom's out of order!" en "Out of order? I can take a look for you." "No, no need! Langston, you mentioned that diner, right? I suddenly feel like going. Let's head out!" Langston sensed something was amiss, as if she was hiding something from him.
But seeing her so anxious, clearly, she was scared of him finding out. Pressing her further wouldn't be right.

Whatever Langston offered, she ate without her usual vibrancy and chatter.
Noticing her change, he softly inquired, "Felicity, if there's something work-related bothering you, feel free to talk to me." After all, Felicity didn't seem to be life or under any life or financial SO was the only pl pressures source of her stress.
"My job's fine, no issues there."
"If there's something wrong m health-wise, you can tellthat too." "Nothing's wrong."
