A Vengeful Ex-Wife
Chapter 91 Pregnant With Air

Giving Alina a dose of her own medicine, Maria declared that she was pregnant with James' baby again. She wanted Alina to understand that the more beautiful a woman was, the more deceptive she could be "What did you say? This can't be..." Alina was shocked.

Maria put her long hair behind her ear and repeated, "I said James doesn't allow me to take pills, and now I'm carrying his baby again."

Alina's mouth fell open. So Maria was really

pregnant again! "You..." Alina's face turned livid with anger while she tried her best to find the right words to say. At last, she snapped, "You should be ashamed of yourself!"

How should she handle this situation now?

James' grandparents had been disapproving of Alina's engagement to James. If Maria were pregnant, Alina's hopes of marrying James

would be gone.

"Ashamed? Me? Oh, save it, Alina! Before accusing me of anything, you should first

consider every time you hit on James when I was still married to him." What Maria had done to Alina was nothing but an eye for an eye. When Maria was still Mrs. Xi, Alina had been trying to seduce James. Besides everything Maria had seen with her own eyes, Daniela also told her many details of their relationship in order to mock her.

Alina was rendered speechless. She knew what Maria said was true.

Unwilling to keep the conversation with the two women going, Maria warned Stella one more time before waltzing out gracefully from the private room under Alina's jealous gaze.

As soon as Maria left, Alina put her clothes back on and asked someone to drive her to HL Group immediately, ignoring Stella's cries for help.

Lately, Alina had been showing up in HL Group with more and more frequency. Hence, once James saw her in his office again, he knew at once why she was there.

Maria must have provoked her again.

Although Alina was on the verge of breaking down, she still had to pay attention to her image. So, not daring to speak loudly, she tried to suppress her frustration as she asked, "James, how could you get her pregnant? What should I do now that she's carrying your baby?"

'Pregnant? Who is pregnant?' James looked at her doubtfully, unable to understand what she was talking about.

Due to her own anxiety, Alina failed to notice the confusion in James' eyes. However, as a man of a few words, he was also hard to read. Therefore, she continued to vent her jealousy. "Haven't we agreed that you could fool around with any woman you want except for Maria Song? How could you get her pregnant? James, this news broke my heart." Tears fell from Alina's eyes as she spoke.

She knew better than anyone that James didn't like women who cried a lot, but she could not hold it back this time. Maria's pregnancy news had been a heavy blow to Alina, but no matter what, she wouldn't dare to do anything against James' baby now.

It was not until then that James understood that Maria was pregnant.

He frowned, thinking back to when he had been with Maria at Fairview Villa. This happened just a week ago, and he gave her some morning-after pills. So how could Maria be sure she was carrying his baby? James wondered if she was pregnant with air.

Nevertheless, James didn't explain anything to Alina. He was more concerned about the possibility of Maria playing a trick on him. What if she didn't take the pills? After all, he wasn't there to see her do it with his own eyes. "This wouldn't affect our engagement."

James knew Alina too well. He knew exactly what she wanted to hear.

With tears in her eyes, Alina said between sobs, "But when the baby is born..."

"It won't stop you from becoming Mrs. Xi."

What James said was enough to make Alina stop crying. Taking out a tissue from her bag, she wiped the tears off her face and suggested, "Well, James, I don't wish any harm to the innocent baby, so what do you think about sending Maria away? We can let her stay abroad and give birth."

Sending Maria away from H City to a place where James couldn't help her would only make the child more vulnerable to a fatal accident. In Alina's mind, that was the best solution. "There's no hurry." James was fifty percent sure that there was no baby, to begin with. So why should he bother?

Stunned for a moment, Alina misread James' words and thought he was reluctant to let Maria go. "Maybe we can take the child after it's born and raise it together." Taking on the role of Mrs. Xi in advance, she offered an idea she believed would sound generous.

Although she wanted to have a child of her own with James, she never expected that Maria would be one step ahead of her once again.

"Let's talk about it later. I have a plane to catch soon. If there's nothing else you want to discuss, please, go home." James didn't lie to her. He really had a business trip to go. Alina nodded. "Okay. Let's have dinner together when you come back."

As soon as Alina left, his office became silent again. James then pulled out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Maria. "You want me to be the father of another man's child?"

James didn't rule out the possibility that Maria might be really pregnant. After all, he had the impression that her private life was a mess, and he couldn't guarantee she hadn't been with other men either. The only thing he was pretty sure about was that he was not the father of Maria's baby.

Maria read his message about twenty minutes later. As autumn approached, she was busy shopping for new clothes. So, without replying to the text, she put her phone away and went into another store. As she walked in, she told the saleswoman who greeted her, "I'd like to try the dress on that model, please."

"Sure, ma'am. A moment please."

"Maria?" A surprised female voice reached her ears all of a sudden.

Maria couldn't help but put on a sarcastic smile as she thought, 'What a coincidence!' Following the voice, she spotted Daniela in a dress from the new season collection, accompanied by a man in a suit beside her. Still, Maria ignored Daniela and put her bag aside to take the coat the saleswoman brought for her to try on.

"Oh, this coat is from a limited edition. It's not everyone who can afford it. Why did you let her try it on?" Daniela approached Maria and yelled at the saleswoman next to her. In fact, she had just put on the coat of two million dollars, but her boyfriend refused to buy it for her.

It was a dark brown, knee-length, and free-size coat. With its smooth, high-quality fabric, it was no wonder it was so expensive.

At Daniela's reproach, the saleswoman seemed a little embarrassed. Although Maria dressed in a low-profile way, everything about her exuded wealth.

"Daniela, are you done?" At this time, Carolina's voice could be heard as she stepped out of the fitting room wearing a long gray dress. As soon as she saw Maria trying on the coat, she was taken aback. "Maria?"

Instead of saying anything to Carolina, Maria greeted her with a nod.

Honestly, none of the three Song sisters had expected to run into each other again at a clothing store.

However, noticing that Daniela and Carolina kept staring at the coat she was wearing, Maria, who had planned to pay for it herself, changed her mind. She took out her phone and replied to James' message unhurriedly. "Come to VVT Clothier on the second floor of JZ Mall. I'll tell you whose baby this is. Bring some money with you."

Meanwhile, as James left the company to go straight to the airport, he received Maria's text.

After reading it, he checked the time and found he still had twenty minutes to spare.

He just couldn't understand why Maria asked him to go to a clothing store with some money. The last time he bought her that green dress, which cost millions of dollars, she sent it to Alina's place. Why would she want him to buy her clothes now?

After tapping the car's armrest with his index and middle fingers for half a minute, James decisively ordered Lorenzo, "Let's go to JZ Mall first." As JZ Mall was very close to HL Group, it would only take them a few minutes to get there.

In the clothing store, Maria took off the coat and told the saleswoman to hold it for her. The next moment, she started browsing for other clothes.

Carolina glanced at the price tag on the coat and reminded Maria worriedly, "Maria, this costs two million dollars." Carolina herself refrained from buying that coat.

It was just a long, thin windbreaker. At most, an extravagant piece of fabric, which was not worth its price.
