Chapter 245

Cynthia's pupils rapidly constricted, turning pitch black. Her gaze fell heavily on Lilian's belly Lilian's stomach was noticeably protruding, and she had gained a lot of weight-typical of a pregnant woman.

Cynthia's fingers tightened into a fist. After that incident, Filip had been adamant about not keeping the child, and he had taken Lilian to the hospital, saying he had done as she wished"

Since that day, Cynthia hadn't seen Lilian again. Filip had mentioned once that he had sent Lilian abroad and assured her that she would never return. Yet, only four months had passed, and Lilian was back in Cynthia's sight.

Not only was the child in Lilian's belly still there, but she also hadn't left the country. She had even gotten a marriage certificate with Filip, and they had chosen the same day as Cynthia and Jonathan. There was just too much information to process Cynthia wondered. How did she convince Filip to keep the child: Why did Filip lie to me? If he didn't want me to know about the child, why choose this day to provoke me?

The most important point was that the timing of our marriage registration was a last-minute decision. Neither of us had told anyone.

Yet, they had run into us here. What did that mean? Either it was a coincidence, or Lilian knew everything about our lives and had been secretly watching us.

At this thought, a chill ran down Cynthia's spine. Jonathan looked at the two people in front of him, his eyebrows furrowing involuntarily, and his demeanor turned ice-cold. Cynthia quickly regained her composure

Seeing Lilian again, she felt it was fate. The investigation into her own past had brought up that incident from three years aro, and only Lilian knew the truth about it.

Even if she didn't show up now, Cynthia would have gone to find her. This way, it was just perfect. Cynthia quickly composed herself and, staring at Lilian's belly, asked, "How far along are you?"

Lilian also looked at Cynthia. Her eyes were filled with a complex mix of emotions-satisfaction at seeing Cynthia's shock, pride, and even a hint of provocation, just like before. The only thing that had changed, Cynthia noticed, was the timid demeanor. Now, Lilian was confident and proud, her face clearly saying. I'm back, and there's nothing you can do about it."

It was as if a venomous snake that had been in disguise for years had finally shed its skin, raising its head and hissing with confidence.

Lilian stroked her belly and smiled. "More than seven months now."

Cynthia stared at Lilian's protruding belly. She thought, "Time had passed so quickly. It had already been four months since we returned to Clusia. The weather had long since turned to autumn.

Cynthia remembered that the last time she saw Lilian, Lilian was in a white dress. Now, Lilian still wore white, but with a light blue jacket that looked familiar-Cynthia had given it to Lilian as a graduation gift in high school

Cynthia didn't know why Lilian deliberately wore that five-year-old outfit to the City Hall, but she found it quite ironic. Lilian walked up to Cynthia, a smug smile on her lips. "Do you want to touch it?" she asked, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction

Cynthia took a step back, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "What, trying to set me up again?"

Lilian's expression changed. "What are you worried about? No matter what, I would never joke about my child. This is my life," she said, her voice firm and resolute.

Despite knowing that Filip and Lilian had once again conspired to deceive her, Cynthia's feelings at this moment were not anger. Instead, she felt a sense of relief. Previously, when her hatred for Lilian had reached its peak, the most extreme form of revenge she could think of was to take away what Lilian cared about most-her unborn child. At that time, Filip had already been considering not wanting the child, but it was Cynthia's words that finally pushed him to make the decision to give up the baby.

Cynthia didn't know how Lilian had managed to turn things around, but she had to admit that Lilian was truly capable. She was a master at manipulating people's emotions, Cynthia thought.

During the time Lilian was gone, Cynthia occasionally thought about the child. She felt regretful. She had no right to influence the fate of an innocent life. Now, seeing that the child was still alive, Cynthia felt a sense of relief. Cynthia looked at Filip. He was slightly bowing his head, unable to meet her gaze, as if he had done something wrong to her Cynthia, on the other hand, was straightforward, "Well, congratulations to the three of you." Lilian waved the marriage certificate in her hand, a smug smile on her face. "Cynthia, we got the certificate on the same day. Isn't that quite a coincidence?"

A cold, bitter smile flickered across Cynthia's lips. "Yes, quite a coincidence, but not a good one."

Lilian, however, seemed very pleased and hooked her arm through Filip's "Filip consulted a fortune teller who said today was a good day, so we specifically came to get our marriage certificate today. We didn't expect to run into you.

By the way, I've been in Japrium for the past few months, but I couldn't get used to the food there. Even though Filip hired several nannies for me. I still felt that it was better back home. So, I came back.

"Cynthia, I know you don't want to see me, but for the sake of our past friendship, can we let bygones be bygones and start over?"

Lilian's eyes were bright, seemingly filled with genuine anticipation. She gazed at Cynthia with a look of sheer joy. However, Cynthia knew that behind that joy was a provocation and a challenge.

The previous confrontation seemed like Lilian had won, but her return today was a declaration. Cynthia had lost. That's why Lilian was so happy, celebrating what she called a fresh start.

"It was just the beginning of a new round of competition, a new round of struggle, persecution, scheming, and tactics. Just thinking about it made Cynthia feel exhausted. She no longer wanted to fight with Lilian; all she wanted now was a peaceful life. Cynthia had a frosty look on her face. "If I were to consider our past friendship, breaking two of your ribs would be. considered lenient, Lilian. Stop acting so smug. Just looking at your face makes me sick.

"From now on, both of you stay

away from me, or I'll settle all the old and new scores at once."

The smile on Lilian's face froze. "Cynthia, I'm being sincere

But Cynthia had already lost her patience. She pulled out her phone and dialed a our marriage certificate today."

fiber. "Mrs. Yates, Jonathan and I got

On the other end of the line, Pamela's voice was filled with surprise and joy. "Oh, that's wonderful news! Congratulations to both of you. When are you and Jonathan coming back? We'll have a big celebration for you-" Cynthia abruptly changed the subject. "What a coincidence, I ran into Filip and Lilian at the City Hall today."
