“If that’s the case, then we won’t be able to live our lives!”
“You are right. However, Marco will either appear or be caught. Otherwise, my heart will never be at ease.”
Derek’s worries had a reason.
“Alright, don’t think about it anymore. Since you’re here, then be at ease. Go to sleep.” Serina snuggled into Derek’s embrace.
“Good night.”
“Good night.”

Jessica sat in the chair with thick makeup on her face. She did not like thick makeup. It was just that she did not sleep well last night. The dark circles under her eyes were very obvious, so the makeup was a little thicker.
After returning home last night, she immediately went to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test kit. The result showed two bars, which meant she was indeed pregnant.
Her manager, Sophie, was pacing back and forth in the room with her short, neat hair. She was anxious.
“Can you sit down? Let’s have a talk.” Jessica only felt that Sophie made her feel dizzy.
Sophie stopped and looked at Jessica. “What do you want me to say about you? You broke the contract without my consent. You lost so much money, and now you are pregnant!”
Jessica realized that her voice was a little louder. Jessica was a rising star, and there were many pairs of eyes staring at her!
Even the people in the same company were dangerous for Jessica.
Sophie immediately went to the door, opened it, and looked outside. There was nobody. She then closed the door and locked it.
Jessica sighed but did not speak.
“The cancellation of the contract has a very bad effect on you. The other party has everything in place, but you cancel the contract casually! How will they judge you?”
“It is already in the past. Let’s think about what we should do next, okay?”
Jessica really did not want to mention the past.
“Alright, there’s no point in bringing it up again. We have to start saving your image right now, but first, you have to get rid of the child first.”
“Get rid of it?” Jessica suddenly raised her head.
“That’s right! Do you want to give birth? You can’t do the abortion here. You have to go to a small city and find a remote place to do it. Otherwise, if you are targeted by the paparazzi, you will be over for the rest of your life!”
“But…” Jessica lowered her head and grabbed her clothes tightly. “I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“You have always been obedient and dutiful. I haven’t asked you who the father is.”
Sophie pondered for a moment, “Ernest? If so, then that’s good! The two of you hurry up to announce your relationship! Just say that you canceled your contract because you are pregnant! Now there are couples in the entertainment circle. It’s a good choice!”
Thinking of this, Sophie suddenly relaxed. She clapped her hands. “Ernest is the best actor. The two of you can definitely be more popular than before!”
“He is the father.” Jessica had nothing to hide. After all, Sophie was her manager, and the two of them had always been like sisters.
“Is that true?” Sophie was even happier. “That’s great! Why didn’t I realize it? I didn’t expect you to have got him. I just thought that you had a good relationship before, but I didn’t expect that you even had a child secretly!”
Jessica did not speak.
“What’s going on? I don’t think you’re happy.” Sophie immediately realized that something was wrong.
Jessica shook her head. She was in a daze and really didn’t know what to do.
“If you don’t want to give birth, it doesn’t matter. However, this relationship has to be made public.”
Jessica shook her head again, “This child’s father is indeed Ernest, but we are not dating.”
“What?”
“What do you mean by not dating?” Sophie looked at Jessica in shock.
“It was an accident.” Jessica could only attribute all of this to “accident” because there was no other way to explain.
“You mean, you are not in a relationship, but under the influence of hormones, you had sex?”
“You’re right,” Jessica said with a bitter smile.
“What’s Ernest? Bastard! He slept with you but didn’t want to take responsibility?”
Sophie put her hands on her waist, looking like she wanted to fight for justice.
“No.” Jessica shook her head.
“What is that? You are making me so anxious. I know that you have always liked Ernest. You two even slept together. Have you not … confessed your love to him?”
“No.”
“You are so stupid.” Sophie moved a chair and sat next to Jessica. “Listen to me. You are pregnant. You should confess to him now and see whether he likes you. Then tell him that you are pregnant.”
Jessica looked at Sophie. “It’s like I’m forcing him to be with me with a child.”
“Forcing him? It’s because he couldn’t control himself. Now that you are pregnant, does he want to ignore the responsibility?”
Jessica lowered her head and was silent again.
“Listen to me. If you confess to him immediately, maybe he has always liked you. The two of you have known each other for quite a long time. Maybe you just need to break the small barrier between you two.”
“I…”
“Hurry up and confess. I’m more anxious than you.”
“But what if he doesn’t like me? What if he doesn’t have feelings for me? We can’t even be friends!”
Jessica was still a little worried. “As you know, I have been following him step by step. I am so close to him now. If I fail, I might be farther and farther away from him.”
Sophie was really anxious. “You work so hard. It was not easy for you to catch up with him. Why do you want to catch up with him?”
“…”
“Don’t you just want to be with him? But if you don’t say anything, what’s the point? Girl, you are not young anymore, and Ernest is not young anymore. It’s about time! What’s more, why do you think it’s a failure?”
Jessica sighed.
“Listen to me. Go for it. Maybe it will work!”
Sophie seemed to be at ease.
Looking at Sophie’s determined gaze, Jessica finally had courage.
That’s right, she had gone from a fan of Ernest to someone who could now act with him.
Step by step, Jessica wanted to catch up with him.
She should tell him that she had always liked him.
Jessica had made up her mind.
