Chương 2: Chapter 2 Unexpected News

A man in an expensive royal blue tuxedo was passing by at that moment and a larger part of her vomit spilled on his tuxedo.

He froze at the spot, his blue eyes darkening a little as he stared at her for a few seconds, the corners of his lips curling up in irritation before he hastily began walking out of the house.

Kelsie merely saw his shadow hurrying out before she could mumble out an apology.

When he got outside, there was an Audi Rs7 parked outside with a man in a black suit waiting in front of it.

When the man saw the vomit, his eyes bulged in shock before he rushed towards him.

"Are you okay, sir? Did something happen inside? Give the other and I'll have whoever did this arrested!"

"Don't be dramatic." The man said in a low voice, instantly shutting him up.

Then he hurried to open the car door for him to get in.

As soon as he was in, he glanced outside the car window and ordered, "I need a change of suit. Then take me to the office. And always screen invitations from low class families."

Eric Lance lowered his eyes to the steering wheel solemnly.

"Forgive me, Mr. Adler. I imagined she might be one of the invited guests. I will do better next time."

Jett Adler no longer said anything.

With this, Eric Lance kickstarted the car and drove off.

At this time, inside the Sutton family house; Bryan Baker staggered backward, shrieking in horror when he saw a small amount of vomit that had landed on the back of his hand.

He held the hand with the other and panicked, "Wh-what is this? So-someone help me! Someone please help!"

It was at this moment that a middle-aged man of average height with a lanky build, clad in a gray tuxedo sauntered forward.

"Good evening, Mr. Baker. I'm a traditional doctor. I may know what the problem is."

Bryan immediately turned and grabbed him by the shoulder, wheezing, "She threw up on me. Will I die? Will I be as fat as her? Please tell me I won't be as fat as her. I won't be able to live with myself. Don't be quiet. Talk to me!"

The doctor calmly took out a handkerchief and passed it to him.

"No, you won't, Mr. Baker. It's just vomit, it won't harm you in anyway."

"Is that so? I'm so relieved!" Bryan exhaled heavily, taking the handkerchief and wiping off the stain on his hands.

For a minute, Bryan's dramatic actions made everyone forget he wasn't the one who had it worse.

Laura had frozen in front of Kelsie, her entire body dripping in vomit.

She oozed such an unpleasant smell everyone around covered their nose and moved a few meters away from her.

She was in so much shock she couldn't bring herself to react.

It was at this moment that Jerry Sutton and Deborah Thompson, who had heard Bryan Baker's shriek, came running into their midst.

"What is happening here?" Jerry Sutton asked as soon as he got to them, his eyes darting around in confusion.

"Mr. Baker, what happened to you? I heard you shouting a while ago." Deborah Thompson also glanced at Bryan Baker and asked worriedly.

The very next second, a loud gasp escaped her lungs when her eyes settled on Laura and she rushed to her side.

"My darling, why are you looking like this? Who did this to you?"

Laura instantly burst into tears, pointing at Kelsie.

"I-I was only trying to help to her, but she threw up on me instead."

"What? You threw up on your sister? How could you be so cruel?!" The words were yet out of her mouth when Deborah turned to lash out at Kelsie.

Laura sniffled and continued, "Her vomit also touched Bryan's hands. She scared him so much which was why he screamed."

She stopped sniffling and stared at Kelsie with red eyes before sighing pretentiously, "If you didn't want my help, why didn't you just say so? Throwing up on me in refusal is a bit too extreme, don't you think?"

Before Kelsie could say anything, Jerry Sutton closed the distance between them and glared hard at her, "How could you throw up on your sister and your fiancé. Apologize to them right now!"

Kelsie was silent for a moment before she raised her eyes to look at them in spite.

These people all had a self-righteous look in their eyes as they waited for her to apologize which amused her.

She was asleep the whole time and hadn't said a word to anyone. Laura clearly came to bully her and even tried to force-feed her, yet it was her fault her body reacted?

Pressing her lips into a thin line, her eyes clouded over in defiance.

Seeing the defiance in her eyes, Laura clenched her fist tightly recalling why she didn't like it when Kelsie looked at her.

Kelsie had no vitality in her eyes. As if to make it worse, she had downcast eyes with drooping eyelids which made her appear nonchalant and condescending most of the time.

Despite how she had everyone in the room fuming in rage, she was so unbothered like what happened wasn't any of her business.

Jerry's body trembled in rage seeing how quiet she was and he yelled at her even louder.

"I'm talking to you, how dare you ignore me? I've always overlooked this insolent and disrespectful attitude of yours, but how dare you bare your fangs at me in public!"

As he spoke, a small yawn escaped her lungs, angering him even further.

All this talk was making her sleepy.

Ignoring them, she glanced around, in search of somewhere comfortable to lay down and nap.

Seeing how slow-witted she seemed, Bryan placed a hand on his waist and fumed.

"D-do I really need to marry someone like this? She literally has no shame. Listen to me, someone like her should be locked up somewhere and not allowed to leave the place for any reason!"

Jerry hurriedly turned to apologize to him.

"I apologize on her behalf, Mr. Baker. I didn't teach her well. I'll make sure she learns everything before your marriage!"

Bryan harrumphed in disdain and looked away from him.

Pointing at Laura with a proud look on his face, he regretfully smacked his lips together.

"What is there to teach? Laura here is her sister and despite being the younger one, she has learned everything there is to learn as a lady."

"Furthermore, she listens to whatever I say and tries her very best to make me happy. She's the ideal wife for for someone like me!"

Laura blushed at the compliment and shyly tucked a loose strand of hair behind her right ear.

Then she forced on a smile and half-heartedly shook her head at this words, "Don't say things like that, Mr. Baker."

"We mustn't make people misunderstand and certainly not on your engagement ceremony to my sister!"

Bryan couldn't be more pleased seeing how obedient and docile Laura was.

"See? Very well mannered and cultured. Knows the right thing to say, when to say it and how to say it."

"But this fatso right here knows nothing! How could I possibly be married to someone like her?"

After watching Kelsie's every move carefully, the doctor who had been quiet the whole time, suddenly stepped forward.

"Calm down, Mr. Baker. Getting a high blood pressure on the day of your engagement is said to be a bad omen. And congratulations to you too!"

Bryan was puzzled.

Laura was puzzled.

Jerry and Deborah were puzzled.

Bryan then grimaced, "Congratulations? For what?"

The doctor flashed the extremely confused Bryan a knowing smile, confusing him even further.

"Not at all, Mr. Baker. You and Ms. Sutton here seem to be doing a lot better behind closed doors."

Bryan's eyes darkened and he gave the man a stern look. "What is that supposed to mean?"

Seeing that Bryan suddenly looked offended, the doctor presumed he had gone too far and quickly apologized.

"My apologies, Mr. Baker. I didn't mean to say something so sensitive in front of so many people."

In three seconds, Bryan went through three emotions; confusion, anger and finally annoyance.

"Hey, I won't ask you again. What are you going on about? Congratulations, closed door, sensitive? What nonsense are you saying?"

The doctor paused and watched Bryan's facial expressions, frowning slightly.

Bryan didn't seem to be pretending.

Does that mean he really didn't know about his fiancée's condition?

The doctor quickly shook his head at the thought. That was impossible.

He then glanced at the guests staring at him with curious eyes, eager to hear what he had to say before turning his attention back to Bryan and exhaled reluctantly.

"Are you sure it's something you want me to say in front of so many people, Mr. Baker? I believe it's quite a sensitive issue."

Bryan strutted towards him and gently patted him on the shoulder.

"I have nothing to hide. I've never impregnated any of my girlfriends before and I'm not impotent."

"That, I'm very sure of. And besides the two I just mentioned, I'm not sensitive about anything else. So stop messing around and say what you want to say already!"

"If you say so, Mr. Baker." The doctor nodded and noisily cleared his throat noisily.

"Ms. Sutton is pregnant. Judging from how big her stomach is and the change I've noticed, she should be in her third month of pregnancy already."

"What?" Bryan and most of the guests didn't know when they blurted out in disbelief.

Laura's eyes widened in shock.

Jerry and Deborah's mouths almost dropped to the floor.

Kelsie, who was almost in dreamland again, forcefully pried her eyelids open to look at the doctor.
