Chapter 255 Quit Your Job

To be precise, everyone was staring at her belly.
Jennifer awkwardly dropped her hand and said, “Sorry, I’m not feeling well.”
Mary glanced at Jennifer’s belly in surprise, and the idea of her being pregnant crossed her mind.
Sandy exclaimed, “Jennifer, stop pretending! Do you really think you can just act like you’re pregnant?”
Jennifer calmly responded, “I never said I was pregnant. I just feel a bit off.”
Sandy opened her mouth to retort but was

cut off by Angelina, who said, “Let’s eat
first.”

Jennifer let out a sigh of relief. She turned to Timothy and whispered, “I didn’t mean
to.”
At that moment, she genuinely felt a bit
nauseous.
Timothy replied quietly, “I know.”
Jennifer felt uneasy as she recalled that she hadn’t taken any precautions during their last two encounters. Could she actually be pregnant?
She doubted it. Her period had just ended, so pregnancy seemed unlikely.
During the meal, the atmosphere was

eerily quiet.

“Ryan, make some nourishing soup for Jennifer and bring out some fruit and eggs,” Millie instructed, sounding pleased.
Regardless of whether Jennifer was pregnant, Millie knew Mary must be feeling upset.
After all, Mary had always thought her son had fertility issues, and she had her eye on Timothy’s family assets.
If Jennifer were to get pregnant, it would thwart Mary and her family’s plans.
Jennifer getting pregnant wouldn’t be good news for her family.
Sandy complained, “Mom, why did you

help me? My face hurts so much.”

She had just vented to Angelina, but when Jennifer suddenly retched, everyone’s attention shifted to her.
Mary whispered sharply, “Cut it out. Is this really the time for messing around?”
Jennifer’s retching had looked a bit like a sign of pregnancy.
Angelina had always hoped for Timothy to have a child, so at this moment, she favored him more and wouldn’t scold
Jennifer for Sandy’s sake.
Sandy’s resentment toward Jennifer
grew
even stronger.
Jennifer forced down her dinner,

stomach.

But as long as Angelina kept quiet, no one else dared say a word.
After dinner, they all gathered in the living room.
Seeing that all the attention was on Jennifer, Sandy stormed upstairs in
frustration.
Mary was visibly annoyed and said, “Jennifer, now that you’ve reconciled with Timothy, you should stay home. Don’t take any part–time jobs anymore. Your health is what matters most.”
Jennifer’s expression hardened. “I’ll manage,” she replied, understanding that

Mary was intentionally bringing this up.
Millie immediately chimed in, “How can you manage that? You must take care of yourself and try to have a baby soon.”

Jennifer lowered her gaze, unsure of how to respond.
Mary continued, trying to fan the flames, “Jennifer is so resistant to having a baby. Is it because they just got engaged, and marriage isn’t on the table?”
“No,” Jennifer quickly protested, but Angelina interjected, “Timothy, I think you and Jennifer have been together long enough. Isn’t it about time to set a wedding date?”
If they had a child, the wedding would

need to be put on the agenda.
“Yes, Angelina, they do seem quite close. I also believe they should marry sooner so we can welcome a grandchild,” Mary added deliberately.
She was aware that Millie didn’t want
Jennifer to marry into the Clark family. Now that they were just engaged, the engagement could be called off anytime.

As expected, Millie had a problem with that. “There’s no rush for the wedding. They can wait until Jennifer is pregnant.”
In her eyes, if Jennifer couldn’t conceive, she wouldn’t deserve to marry her son.
Jennifer understood Millie’s implication but chose not to respond.

Timothy said, “No rush. I want to discuss this after Jennifer graduates.”
Jennifer paused, reflecting.
Her initial plan with Timothy was to end their engagement after graduation and to part ways amicably.
She had thought the same, but after hearing Timothy’s words, she felt a bit depressed.
Finally, Angelina said, “It’s fine as long as you have a plan. It’s getting late. You should get some rest.”
With that, Angelina left first.
Mary felt no need to stay and followed

suit.

Millie turned to Jennifer. “I’ve told you not to go to the studio anymore. Are you taking this seriously?”
Jennifer fell silent. The inevitable happened. But there was no way she would quit her job at the studio.
Millie pressed on, “Answer me!”
