?Chapter 1270:
“Are you expecting?” Le asked, leaning in closer and narrowing her eyes at Eileen.
Eileen was surprised and her eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Le.
“Your mother is too wrapped up in Bailee’s problem to realize this, but I’ve had my suspicions for a while.” Le grinned. “1t’s great news. I might even get a chance to help with the baby. But now isn’t the best time to tell your mother. Wait a while before < telling her the news."
"That''s exactly what I''m thinking," Eileen said, nodding as she looked down at her still-t belly, hoping she could keep the secret a little longer.
Le studied Eileen''s bare face, noticing her slightly red nose. "You are so much like your mother, always so kind. When the babyes, I''ll give you a great present."
Although the pregnancy was joyful news, Eileen had to consider the feelings of others and keep it a secret for the time being.
Le sympathized with Eileen''s predicament, but she was also happy to see the resemnce between Eileen and her daughter.
"Now that you''ve said it, I''m expecting a big gift," Eileen teased, looking out at thendscape. She continued her lighthearted conversation with Le.
Suddenly she noticed Amoura passing by quickly. Eileen paused for a moment, remembering that the Deleon family had moved into a vi nearby after returning to the country.
Amoura seemed to be in the middle of a phone call, her smile forced. She didn''t notice Eileen and Le, and her voice was loud.

"Darling, why can''t you trust me? The Dawson family has been incredibly oppressive and I''ve been tormented by them. What? No, there''s no need for you to get involved. You''re busy abroad, and I want to ease your burden. I can handle it. Really, no need for you to do that…" Eileen didn''t hear the rest of the conversation.
Remembering that Bryan had reached out to Javier in private
privately, she realized that Javier was probably on his way.
After their outing, Eileen and the others headed home.
That evening, Bryan returned from work with the news Eileen had been expecting,
"Javier has a flight back tomorrow, arriving in Ondo at three in the morning. I''ll pick him up at the airport," Bryan said.
Eileen raised an eyebrow. "Doesn''t he have a wife? Why are you the one picking him up?"
Bryan replied, "From what I''ve discovered, Amoura < married Javier only a month after they met, and she even had surgery to look like his ex-wife. She relied on his lingering affection for histe wife. Many people abroad don''t like Amoura, but Javier ispletely taken with her. I have to talk to him before she can talk to him.
Bryan knew that if he was going to drive a wedge between Javier and Amoura, he had to act fast.
"Isn''t Amoura going to meet Javier at the airport? Won''t it be awkward if you run into her?" Eileen could already imagine the awkward scene.
"You''ll know when the timees." Bryan spoke with an air of mystery.
