Pregnant With Ex's Babies novel Chapter 269

< Pregnant with Ex’s Babies

Chapter 269 Was she being rejected?

The next morning, Scarlett woke up feeling a bit uneasy.

It was a vague, indescribable feeling.

She checked her phone, but there were no new updates about that organization.

She was indeed anxious because she felt the truth was just within reach.

For the first time in years, she felt this close.

But now, she had to patiently wait.

She believed that the next message from Quinn wouldn’t disappoint her!

Thinking of this, Scarlett tried to calm herself down.

During breakfast, First and Second came out of the bedroom, both holding their phones.

“Scarlett, have you heard from Fourth?” Second asked.

“I talked to her yesterday morning. Why?” Scarlett replied.

“I chatted with her last night, and she hasn’t replied yet!” Second said with a frown.

“She’s busy filming with the crew. She probably doesn’t have time to keep checking her phone. Even if she’s

done, she’s likely catching up on sleep!” Scarlett said while eating.

“Really?”

“That’s what she told me,” Scarlett said casually.

Second raised an eyebrow, “Alright then!”

After saying that, she sat down and started eating breakfast too.

At that moment, First walked over, frowning, and asked, “Is working in a film crew really that tough?”

Scarlett replied, “I suppose so. Sometimes, the more glamorous a job looks, the harder it is behind the scenes.” She didn’t know much about the entertainment industry, but after Fourth decided to join, she did

some basic research.

Indeed, aside from the basic challenges like filming under harsh weather conditions, working long hours,

jumping into cold water in winter, or wearing heavy clothes in summer, there are more intense tasks like wire work and explosions. The audience sees the visual effects and excitement, but during filming, actors

face various issues. If they’re dedicated and do everything themselves, it can even involve life–threatening

situations. So, this job is far from simple.

Talking about this, Second chimed in, “I’ve read some stuff too. It’s said to be really tough–dirty water, fight scenes. Even with stunt coordinators, injuries are common. I wonder if Fourth can handle it!” His

words were filled with concern for Fourth.

Hearing this, First smiled slightly, “Fourth is far stronger than we think. When she decided to do this, she

must have considered everything. Don’t doubt her; she’ll get upset!”

Second didn’t deny it. His sister had quite the temper.

“I’ve read her script. There’s nothing dangerous in this show, don’t worry!” Scarlett said.

Second looked at her and asked, “Scarlett, do you know where Fourth’s crew is filming?”

“Why?”

“It’s Sunday. My brother and I can go check on her!” Second suggested.

First nodded in agreement. It was a good idea.

Scarlett thought for a moment but realized she didn’t actually know.

Seeing her silence, the two brothers understood the situation.

Scarlett was speechless. Was she being sidelined?

But she had to admit, ever since Hugo reappeared in her life, he had been silently helping her with a lot…

After eating, Scarlett went straight to the office.

She was busy all morning, and by lunchtime, Ethan, Brent, and East were having lunch together in the

cafeteria.

Ethan was fiddling with his phone, eyebrows furrowed.

Brent glanced at him. “You’ve been staring at that old phone all day. What, is there a flower growing in it?”

“Just eat your food. It’s none of your business!” Ethan replied, his eyes glued to the screen.

Brent squinted slightly. “Are you secretly dating someone behind my back?”

At this, Ethan finally looked up from his phone. “You said it yourself, it’s a secret. How could I tell you?”

“You-”

“Fine, fine. When you get dumped, don’t come crying to me!”

“Ha, you’re the one who’s gonna get dumped!”

Their usual banter continued as East quietly ate his food, staying out of it.

Just then, Scarlett looked up at Ethan and asked, “Did Fourth message you back?”

Ethan paused for a moment, then said, “She said yesterday she’d surprise me. I’m still waiting…”

Scarlett nodded, listening,

Watching them like they were speaking in riddles, Brent asked, “What message? What surprise? What’s

going on?”

Scarlett raised an eyebrow, smiling silently.

“Ms. Adler, what do you think?” Brent asked.

Before Scarlett could respond, Ethan quickly shook his head at her.

“Well… it’s a private matter. You should ask the person involved,” Scarlett deflected smoothly.

Brent immediately turned his gaze to Ethan. “What’s going on?”

Ethan smiled slightly, “Take a guess!”

“Guess? Guess my foot! Are you going to tell me or not? If you don’t, I’ll…” Brent threatened, eyeing the big

drumstick on Ethan’s plate and snatching it away. “If you don’t spill, I’m eating your drumstick!”

Ethan frowned, “Brent, I’m warning you, put down my drumstick!”

“Are you going to tell me?”

“Nope!”

With that, Brent took a big bite out of the drumstick, looking at Ethan with a smug expression as if to say,

“Take that!”

Seeing this, Altair jumped in to join the food fight!

In the restaurant, two people were having a playful fight over a drumstick.

Watching the childish duo, Scarlett and East finished their meal and quietly picked up their trays to leave.

Later in the afternoon, as work was winding down, Altair wandered in again.

He had a look on his face like he wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words.

Scarlett looked up at him, “What’s up?”

Scarlett chuckled, “She might be busy, but I’ll ask for you!” She picked up her phone and sent Fourth a

message.

After sending it, she set her phone aside to wait.

Ethan was anxious, his eyes glued to Scarlett’s phone, each second feeling like an eternity.

Just then, Scarlett’s phone suddenly rang, and the name on the screen was… Summer Shaw????

“Ethan, it’s Summer Shaw on the phone for you, Ms. Adler!” Ethan said excitedly.

Even though the call wasn’t for him, he couldn’t help but feel a thrill. It was like he was just a phone call

away from his idol!

Scarlett glanced at her phone. Seeing Summer’s name made her frown slightly. It was the first time

Summer had called after having her number for so long.

With that thought, Scarlett picked up the phone.

“Hello…”

“Ms. Adler, did Fourth not come home last night?” Summer asked anxiously on the other end.

Hearing this, Scarlett’s face fell instantly.
