Chapter 3 Suspicions

• Lucian was staring intently at the person in front of him, his fists slightly clenched and a wave of emotions that he could barely control.
• "Is your name Natalia Rinaldi?"
• "Yes," Natalia smiled. "This is my sister, Franchesca, her nickname is Fran, and my nickname is Nat. Isn't it funny?"
• Lucian didn't respond, but he looked at the smile in the girl's eyes, as well as the face in his memory. The same face, similar voice, but different behavior. His fists tightened and the corners of his lips pressed into a straight line.
• "Sorry, I'm a bit forward again," Natalia smiled cheerfully, seeing that there were only two of them left in the cabin. "I think we're the last ones."
• Lucian should have been polite, but he said nothing. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he raised his head again, his eyes had returned to calm. He turned around and left with his luggage. Without looking at Natalia, he left the girl behind.
• She politely stepped aside, letting Lucian get off the plane first, and watched his figure leave the cabin. She took out the small accessory with the photo of the suitcase and carefully stored it in her bag.
• She lowered her head, and a sharp light shone in her eyes, the cute smiling face simply disappeared. Seeing where Lucian was sitting, she stopped for a moment, finally took a deep breath, picked up her suitcase, turned around, and left.
• ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
• Lucian got off the plane and the driver was waiting for him outside the airport. Seeing him come out, he respectfully stepped forward.
• "Sir, your mother asked me to pick you up."
• His eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly, but Lucian didn't say a word. The driver took his luggage and put it in the trunk before getting into the car.
• An hour later, the car stopped at the Landong family mansion.
• After going up to his room, he wanted to shower, but first he took out the photo that he constantly keeps in his wallet.
• His face changed color instantly as he looked at the photo.
• Natalia's face shone in his mind, overlapping with the charming face in his memory. The hand holding the photo tightened, he looked at the photo for a while, and finally placed it on the nightstand.
• When he went to the bathroom to take a shower and dried his body with a bath towel, he frowned at the lingering scent of roses on his body.
• It had been a while since he had been home, and the bathroom toiletries were originally bought by Catherine. It seems she particularly likes this type of fragrance. He remembered accidentally seeing her skincare products and perfumes, all made of roses.
• He didn't understand why he would remember something like that. He needed to ask the housekeeper to throw away some things she forgot.
• Just after taking the shower, he dressed meticulously. Before buttoning up his shirt, his mother arrived. Brenda Landong.
• Seeing her son return, there was excitement on her face. "Lucian, when did you arrive? Are you tired from the trip, do you want to sleep first?"
• "I'm fine, mother," Lucian quickly approached her, blocking the photo on the nightstand.
• " Son " Brenda didn't notice his movements, watching her son button up his shirt, she sat on the chaise longue in the room and looked at Lucian with a tentative expression " Do you want me to prepare something for you this week?"
• " It's not necessary."
• " Tomorrow and Sunday, you will rarely be back. Your mother wants you to go shopping with her. Can you?"
• General Lucian Landong buttoned up the last button of his shirt, turned his face to look at his mother, directly in the eyes " Just shopping?"
• " Of course it's just shopping. " Brenda smiled a little uncomfortably. She always showed toughness to others, but she was very defenseless with this son.
• Lucian had a stubborn personality since he was a child. He spoke little, was reserved, and independent.
• " Alright " said Lucian lightly. Seeing Brenda exhale a sigh of relief, he continued in a low voice " But it will only be shopping."
• " Of course, of course " Brenda coughed twice and pointed outside " You should hurry, dinner is almost ready, don't be late."
• " Understood."
• Lucian watched his mother leave, returned to the room, took the photo next to the bed, and looked at it for a long time, finally sighing almost inaudibly, walked to the study and opened the bottom drawer of the desk. Putting the photo inside.

• Gianna walked out of the ultrasound room with a surprised and excited expression. Looking at Jack, his expression was the same as hers. She reached out and caressed her bulging abdomen.
• " Darling, did you hear what the doctor said a moment ago?"
• " Yes. " Jack nodded and looked at Gianna with a smile " Uh, did you see the same thing I did?"
• " "Hmm." " Gianna nodded, a little incredulous " The doctor says there are two! It's incredible!"
• " Our family has a twin inheritance, it's normal for there to be two."
• " Hehe. " Gianna couldn't help but laugh, looking at the people passing by in the hospital hallway staring at her, unable to hide her happiness. " Haha. It was so unexpected. It surprised me."
• " Me too. " When Jack thought about what the doctor had just said, he was a little incredulous " How will your mom react when she finds out?"
• " She will be very excited, she has been wanting a child at home for a long time " Gianna touched her belly with her hand " And now she will have two. It's incredible."
• " Yes. You're pregnant with two, no wonder your belly is so big."
• " Yes " She couldn't close her mouth, and just smiled, holding Jack's hand and resting her head on his shoulder " My husband, I am so happy."
• " Me too. " Jack nodded and stretched out his hand to carefully protect Gianna's waist " Baby..., thank you."
• " Silly " Gianna bit her lip, her eyes full of smiles " Did you hear what the doctor said? Everything is normal for the baby. The development is also good. There is no problem."
• " Yes, I am also happy about that. " Their children have good genes and everything is normal.
• Holding Gianna's hand by the door of the hospital consultation room, Jack looked at his wife " Are you tired? Do you want to take a break?"
• " I'm not feeling well, I can still walk normally. " Gianna rolled her eyes " It's just a little walk, I'm not incapacitated."
• Jack shrugged " Since you're not tired, then let's go."
• Gianna followed Jack to the parking lot. A white Bugatti had just parked. The two of them instinctively avoided it.
• As the people got out, Jack stood stunned looking at the couple. Soon, Sergio got out of the car and walked to the other side to open the door.
• Gianna also saw it and realized that Sergio hadn't noticed them standing behind their car. They just kept staring at the people in the car.
• A young woman, with long hair tied in a ponytail and wearing a white maternity dress. Her belly was as big as Gianna's.
• " Sister"in"law?"
• The person who got out of the car, is that Catherine?
• Jack clenched his fist and Gianna realized he was as surprised as her husband. At this moment, Sergio had also seen them and helped Catherine walk towards them.
• " Hello, Gianna."
• " Sergio. " Although it wasn't the first time Gianna saw them together, she still felt a little surprised at this moment " Hello."
• Her eyes wandered over Catherine's stomach. Her belly was slightly bigger than hers.
• " Are you here for a routine check"up?
• " Yes, what a coincidence " Catherine had heard that Gianna was pregnant last time, but it was the first time she had seen her in so long, and her eyes scanned her belly " Are you also getting a check"up at this hospital?
• " Yes. " Gianna nodded " We just came from the ultrasound."
• " Oh " Catherine looked at Jack's indifferent expression towards her, didn't say much, pointed towards the maternity department and said goodbye " I have to go."
• " Okay, goodbye."
• " Sweetheart, I'll help you " Sergio seemed like a good husband, he took Catherine's hand and the other one positioned on her waist, leading her to the hospital door.
• Gianna looked at the backs of the two people, turned around and suddenly found Jack's curious gaze.
• " I heard Catherine say she was pregnant two months before me. At that time, was she divorced from your brother?"
• " I don't know. When they got divorced, he didn't tell the family anything, we found out afterwards."
