Chapter 793 - Pretentious act (2/2)
Pursing her lips, she stretched her legs out in front of her before slowly placing her on his thigh. ”You do know that I would've hugged and kissed you if not for the people around us?”
Slowly shifting towards her, he brushed his shoulder against hers and smiled, ”I would've done the same.”

”So you knew all along?” Becca curiously inquired.
Without taking her eyes off Qiang and Guang, Huiling answered, ”I had my doubts yesterday but I got a confirmation today in the morning.”
Awkwardly scratching her forehead, Becca took a deep breath to calm herself down. When Huiling told her about Qiang and Guang, she first pretended as if she had no idea about it but Huiling saw right through her terrible pretentious act and charged her guilty. After being pressured by her to spill out everything, Becca had to tell her everything that she knew. ”Look Huiling, I know that you are hurt and angry but you need to understand things from their point of view as well. You are Guang's sister so Qiang thought—”
Cutting her off, Huiling vigorously shook her head, ”No, I am fine.”
”So you are not angry or hurt?”
”No—” Placing her hand on her chest, she exclaimed, ”I mean just look at them, they look so cute together and look at Guang, have you ever seen him so happy?”
Resting her head on her palm, Becca smiled, ”Yes, they look very cute together.”

”I have already asked someone to bring all our necessary things from home and—” Nathan stopped midway when he saw Adriana all dazed out. Placing his hand on her shoulder, he inquired, ”What happened?”
Keeping quiet for quite some time, she sighed, ”I am just tired of my husband lying to me all the time.” Looking at him, she continued, ”Don't you ever get tired of pretending in front of me though you know that I can see through you?”
When he did not say anything, she jerked her head to the other side and started sobbing. ”It's been three years since we got married but you never stop pretending in front me and that kills me Nathan. I know I act okay but I am not, I am done with all your pretentious acts and I can't take it anymore.”
Sitting down beside her, he pulled her into his embrace and sighed, ”I love you Adriana, you know that right?”
With her head buried on his chest, she vigorously nodded her head. ”Yes, but you also know that only love isn't enough to have a healthy relationship.”
”I just don't want you to stress about anything and with the baby coming, you need to take care of yourself—”
Cutting him off, she snapped, ”That is not the answer I am looking for Nathan, I wanna know what is going on.” Wiping her tears away, she added, ”I want to know what is going on between you and Gavin. I wanna know if Gavin is involved in the killing of those pregnant women.”
