My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1959 - 1953: I’ll go with you
Lady Octavia nodded slightly and walked past Ria.
Aria Rowlett and Joanna, sitting on the sofa, also got up. The two women looked at Lady Octavia without making a sound.
Seeing that neither daughter-in-law had greeted her, Lady Octavia didn’t get angry, an unusual reaction for her.
She walked up to Joanna and Aria and first looked at Joanna. Then her gaze shifted to Aria, and a faint smile even appeared on her lips: "So you two sisters are together. I was worried that Aria would be alone at home and feel lonely. It seems I was too worried."
"Ms. Joanna just arrived as well," Ria said with a smile. "Lady Octavia, Mr. Brandon will be back later tonight. Do you plan to have dinner here? So, I can let the kitchen know ahead of time."
"No need; I’ll only sit for a while and head back later. I’m not here for Brandon. I’m here to see Aria."
This statement from Lady Octavia caused both Joanna and Aria to be surprised momentarily.
It sounded thrilling and unsettling to hear such words coming from Lady Octavia’s mouth.
Especially for Aria.
Aria knew just how much Lady Octavia disliked her.
Even now, with Heath’s child in her womb, Aria didn’t expect Lady Octavia to accept her willingly because of this development.
She could feel that Lady Octavia still didn’t like her.
In Lady Octavia’s eyes, Aria was still the cunning woman who had seduced her son and had not spared any means to carry his baby in order to gain status.
So, when Lady Octavia said that she had come to see her, Aria was just curious and without any other emotions.
Aria didn’t think that Lady Octavia had come to see her out of genuine concern.
"Aria, don’t stand for so long. You’re pregnant now; sit down quickly," Lady Octavia said, showing her concern.
However, the more Lady Octavia acted this way, the more Aria suspected her motives, feeling both cautious and guarded.
Fortunately, with Joanna and Ria present, Aria didn’t worry too much about whether Lady Octavia would try anything sneaky.
Aria knew Lady Octavia was pretending, and although she didn’t know why, she cooperated with the act.
She pursed her lips, smiled sweetly at Lady Octavia, and adopted an obedient and sensible demeanor: "Thank you, Mom."
Lady Octavia’s face stiffened for a moment when Aria affectionately called her "Mom," but she quickly returned to normal.
Lady Octavia looked at Aria’s belly and asked with concern: "Aria, how have you been feeling recently? Do you have any discomfort? Have you visited the hospital for a checkup? What did the doctor say about the baby?"
Aria glanced at Joanna and then replied with a smile: "The doctor said to go for a checkup at the end of the month."
"Oh, is that so?" Lady Octavia was obviously struggling to make conversation, but she forced herself to keep talking. After a long silence, she said, "Let me know when you go to the hospital; I’ll go with you."
Aria’s eyes flickered, but she continued to appear obedient and submissive, nodding her head: "Okay."
"I had someone bring some supplements. Have the kitchen prepare them for you tonight. If you’re bored here by yourself, you can stay at Heath Villa for a few days. Your Grandma was still talking about you today, worrying that you won’t be well taken care of here alone." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"Aria, are you really not considering staying at Heath Villa for a while?"
