Chapter 290 Isabel Is Pregnant

"Why? Isn't Xander good enough?" Isabel asked, puzzled.

Richie didn't say what he was truly thinking-Xander wasn't as good as him.

"You're already married, and I can tell Xander cares about you," Richie added.

If Leslie were here now, with her kind nature, she would never do anything to jeopardize Isabel and Xander's relationship.

Leslie was good-hearted.

With that, he could take care of Leslie for the rest of his life.

"Yeah, he is really good to me," Isabel said, her thoughts drifting back to how gentle and loving Xander had been with her that morning.

The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt toward him.

For the past week, Xander and Richie had found no new leads on Leslie.

Isabel had secretly started looking into Leslie as well.

Meanwhile, I.Z. Corporation was expanding rapidly. It had already become the leading company in the skincare industry.

One of the main sectors of the Johnson Group was skincare, but now I.Z. Corporation was pushing them out, and their market share was shrinking fast. Laurel was cursing at home every day. They had confirmed the owner of I.Z. Corporation was Reggie.

In Laurel's mind, I.Z. The corporation could have entered any industry, but they chose skincare on purpose, just to make things harder for the Johnsons. "Isabel... did my family wrong you in the past life? Why is she always going against us?" Laurel complained.

"Mom, don't get so worked up. It's not worth ruining your health over someone else's drama," Eva said, trying to calm Laurel as she gently patted her back. Laurel's gaze shifted to Eva's belly, and her mood lifted.

A few days ago, Eva had told her she went to the doctor and found out she was having a boy.

"My grandson will be born soon."

Eva smiled and touched her belly. "Yeah, I'll finally be a mom."

Though Eva said it calmly, inside, she was desperate.

Since she had faked her pregnancy, she'd been finding reasons to get intimate with Kaleb.

She even secretly spiked his drinks in hopes of getting pregnant faster.

But strangely enough, even after all this time and all their nights together, she still hadn't gotten pregnant.

If things didn't change soon, she would have to use more drastic measures.

Just as Eva was growing anxious about her problem, she caught a glimpse of Isabel leaving the pharmacy. "Wait, what is Isabel doing at the pharmacy?"

Hold on a second!

Then, Eva's eyes narrowed. She

noticed the bag Isabel was holding. Through the semi-transparent plastie, she could see prenata vitamins and other

pregnancy-related items. noveldrama

Who did Isabel buy those for?

Did she buy them for Yvette?

Doesn't seem possible, does it? Yvette was practically a Mrs. Hunt by now? Surely the Hunts had already bought everything Yvette needed, so why would Isabel need to buy those things?

Eva continued watching as Isabel turned into a nearby drinks shop.

"Eva, what are you looking at?" Laurel asked, noticing her daughter's intense gaze.

"Oh! I suddenly feel thirsty. There's a drink shop across the street. Mom, do you want anything? I'll grab something for you." Eva said, wanting to slip into the shop and find out why Isabel was buying those items.

"Just get me something hot," Laurel replied, settling down on a nearby bench. "Got it. I'll be right back."

Eva slipped on her sunglasses and mask and then headed into the drink shop.

As soon as she stepped inside, she saw Isabel opening the prenatal vitamins she had just bought and taking a folic acid pill.
