Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 724

"Do you think he's playing games with you?"

"Well, who knows what he's trying to do? Anyway, I'm serious about divorcing him." Milla sighed. She felt she had been compromised a lot in her marriage.

"Don't be like this. Leo cares about you very much. You remind me of how I was some years ago when I wasn't sure of Nathan's love. I've outgrown all of that stupidity now. I figured that he wouldn't have waited three years to have me if he didn't love me." She paused and then continued, "You need to take things into perspective as well. For all of the two years that you've been with Leo, have you been happy? Do you feel love for him?"

Milla held her throbbing forehead and stared down. "Alas! I don't know how I feel but never mind. I'm just fed up. I sleep in the same bed with him every night, but dream of different things. I can't say I know how he feels about me."

"Don't overthink it, Milla. Even if Leo ever leaves you, I'll always be here for you." Mandy was joking. She hoped that Leo and Milla would sort their differences and get along better.

The last time they were in City B, she could tell that Leo was very fond of Milla. He was not the type to show emotions. And as a rich second generation, if he didn't have any feelings for her, he wouldn't have wasted time with her.

Milla suddenly sighed. Her eyes filled with uncertainty as she looked around the empty room. Her thoughts drifted to Leo. Nobody other than herself knew how much she loved him.

She had similar behavior to Mandy, but Milla was a little weaker. And while she was stubborn and witty, she could not match Mandy's tenacity. Their hearts were tender. All they needed was a man who could coax them.

"Okay, I'll hold you to that."

The two women talked for more than an hour. They did it easily, finding common female topics to discuss. She enjoyed talking to Mandy. Even though they didn't live in the same city, Milla stuck with her.

She didn't know what day it was today. As soon as Mandy hung up the phone, another call came in.

"Hello, Miss Zhou. Are you busy at the moment?" Cassie sat at the nurses' station, smiling. It was a lunch break, so she wasn't working yet. She had just taken a test and found out that she was a month pregnant.

She had been married to Jamie for a long time. They didn't plan to have a baby just yet, and so, the news was shocking. Having kids was stressful and expensive. To be financially ready when her kid arrived, she had stayed on birth control. She didn't expect that she was going to get pregnant so fast. Well, now that it had happened, it wasn't so bad.

"Cas, don't pull my leg. Why did you call?" Mandy stood up from the sofa and walked towards her desk.

Quintin knocked on the door and came in with a document that needed Mandy's signature. Seeing that she was on a call, he said in a low voice, "Miss Zhou, this is the bill for last month. Please, have a look."

"Leave it here. I'll check it later." With a smile, Mandy took the document. She opened it and browsed through casually.

Quintin pushed back his black glasses frame and retreated quietly.

"Mand, are you busy?" Cassie asked again with a smile. She rubbed her belly as she waited.

"No. What's the matter?" Mandy closed the file. She wasn't in the best frame of mind to read it. The numbers on the file looked too complicated. Accounting was the most annoying thing for her. Even though the accountant prepared the financial statement, she still had to vet them.

"Ahem!" Cassie coughed to pretend that she was calm. As if she was about to disclose something important, she put on a serious look and said, "Listen carefully. I... am pregnant!"

Mandy was stunned at the news for a few seconds. She bubbled with happiness immediately and answered, "Wow! Congratulations, Cas!"

"Hah-hah! I went for a test just this afternoon and found out. I've been pregnant for a month. Mand, you're the first person I'm telling. Even Jamie doesn't know it yet," Cassie said gently. Her tone was smooth and peaceful. She was ready to be a mother.

Mandy was impetuous and full of passion as a young woman, but she always put her children first after she became a mother. Besides, she had two children.

She hadn't heard from Colin in a while. She didn't know how Lisa was doing these days either. It seemed that everything was returning to normal.

"Really? You haven't even told Jamie? Am I really the first person to hear this great news?" Mandy was overwhelmed by the honor. She got up from her chair happily and decided she was going to the JR Hospital.

"Yeah. I've been thinking about you. It's been a while since we got together," Cassie said softly, sounding like a brat. Mandy had been her first friend in JR Hospital. Although Cassie had hurt her once, she did not take it out on her. Instead, Mandy had joked about it. Since then, they had become even closer. They became real friends.

Thinking of everything she had gone through, Cassie felt warm in her heart.

Mandy left quickly for the hospital as she talked with Cassie. She didn't even tell her she was coming.

The lunch break was over. Work was about to start, so Cassie made an appointment with Mandy and hung up.

When Mandy arrived, it was already 3 pm. She cat-walked into the Cardiology Department confidently and met Audrey in a white coat.

Mandy curled up her lips when she saw her. She hadn't expected that even though she rarely came to the hospital, she'd still 'luckily' run into her love rivals whenever she visited. She recalled how just a few days ago, Audrey had been drunk in the middle of the night and called Nathan. Nathan, however, was not moved by her call, and Audrey had gone silent afterward. She didn't bother her husband since then.

Audrey looked at her sharply and softly, she said, "Miss Zhou."

"I'm married. You can call me Mrs. Jin. I prefer this title more." Mandy was wearing a nude-colored silk shirt, a black pair of suit pants, and MK leather shoes. She looked so exquisite that people saw her as a very influential woman.

Audrey, on the other hand, wore a light blue dress. But since she had a white overall covering it, she didn't look as elegant as Mandy.
