My Six Brothers Killed Me (Caroline)

Chapter 233 Pick a Wedding Date

Alaina's brows were knitted tightly. "That girl is so reckless! She just got discharged, and now she's up to something again?"

She knew Helen had left in a fit of anger because of Jamie, and she also knew Helen probably hadn't gone far.

But Ruth looked genuinely concerned. "I don't know. She seemed distracted. Do you think something might happen to her out there?"

Jamie stood up. "I'll go check on her. I'm just sitting here doing nothing anyway."

Alaina opened her mouth to tell him not to bother, but before she could say a word, Jamie was already halfway out the door.

Seeing Alaina's face cloud over, Ruth gave her a warm smile. "Don't worry, Jamie's with her. She'll be fine. Pregnant women tend to be emotional in the early stages-it's normal. You should be more patient with her, help keep her calm..."

She went on and on, listing all the things to watch out for during pregnancy.

Alaina listened quietly. The smile on Ruth's face was a bit too cheerful-honestly, she seemed even more excited about the pregnancy than Alaina herself, the actual grandmother.

Something didn't sit right.

Technically, Alaina and Ruth were only distantly related-some kind of second cousins, at best. They were closer as friends, having known each other since their younger years. But neither connection explained Ruth's eagerness today.

As soon as Alaina had mentioned Helen was pregnant, Ruth had rushed over with a huge basket of fruit like she was family. That just didn't make sense.

Unless ...

Alaina's eyes narrowed as a possibility struck her. Could Ruth have figured out that Helen an been involved? And now she assumed the baby was Jamie's?

nie had

With that in mind, Alaina said, “Thank you for your concern. The baby Helen is carrying belongs to the Grayson family, so it's not really my place to look after her, The Graysons will probably come to take Helen home soon, and with their people taking care of her, there shouldn't be any problems."

She deliberately emphasized the "Graysons," wanting to see how Ruth would react.

But Ruth just smiled wider. "Of course! If she's carrying the Graysons's grandchild, they absolutely should be the ones taking care of her. Has the family been informed?"

Her response left Alaina a bit puzzled. Alaina didn't dwell on it and replied with a smile. "I've already called Mrs. Grayson."

Ruth said, “That's good. They should hurry up and pick a date for the wedding. Otherwise, as Helen's belly grows, it will only get more inconvenient."

Standing nearby on the balcony, Edwin had been silently smoking this whole time. At that moment, he stepped inside and echoed, "She's right. They should get married as soon as possible."

Meanwhile, Helen had climbed up to the rooftop of the apartment complex. It was quiet up there-her usual spot when she needed to clear her head.

She stood at the edge, looking out over the city. Lost in thought, she didn't notice the footsteps approaching behind her.

"What are you thinking about?" came that familiar, irritating voice. Then a pair of hands snaked around her waist.

Helen's expression immediately darkened. She looked down at the hands gripping her and instinctively tried to pry them off. "Let go of me, Jamie. You pervert!"

The more she struggled, the tighter he held her. "Come on, we've already slept together. What are you acting all shy for now?"

She knew there was no fighting her way out of his grip. So she stopped resisting and snapped coldly, "You do realize I'm pregnant with the Graysons' baby, right? If you hurt this child, your whole family's gonna pay for it."

A new thought crossed her mind-maybe she should let Jamie push her too far. If she lost the baby, Linden would never let him off the hook. Maybe that would be justice for what Jamie did to her that night.

But instead of freaking out, Jamie's hands eased up, and he gently ran one hand over her belly.

"So, the baby is a Grayson? Are you sure?"

Helen swatted his hand away and turned to face him. "Of course I'm sure! It's my body! Don't you think I'd know who the father is?"

She sounded confident, but Jamie caught a flicker of guilt in her eyes and smirked.

"Don't forget what happened last month. If you count the days, it lines up exactly. There's a good chance this baby is mine."

He knew she was engaged to Linden. He also knew he couldn't compete with them openly, which was why he'd kept quiet about sleeping with her. Not even his mom or sister knew.

But now, if this baby turned out to be his, that changed everything.

Then he wouldn't have to fight for her anymore-she'd have no choice but to come back to him.
