My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 251

Chapter 251: Two Months Later
Two months later,

Anastasia stared at her reflection in the mirror before her. She checked her cheeks, a scowl on her face as she rubbed them against her palm.

“I’ve gotten fat,” she mumbled under her breath.

As if not satisfied, she stood up from the bench and stared at her reflection, turning around so she could see every angle right.

“I’ve gained weight.”

Her shoulders dropped in disappointment as she found her way to the bench, studying her face one more time.

“Ana, are you ready to go shopping?” Tracie questioned as she gave two knocks on the door before entering.

Kael followed behind her as they entered the room while Xavier was the last, dressed in his usual stay-at-home clothes.

“Why the long face? Do you feel any kind of discomfort?” Kael asked her, rushing to her side.

She releases a sharp breath. “Isn’t it obvious? I’ve gotten fat!” She bellowed.

Tracie and Kael glanced at each other before erupting into loads of laughter which earned them nothing but glare after glare from Anastasia.

“You don’t look fat to me at all,” Xavier said, squatting down to her level. “You still look the same as always. Beautiful…” He kissed her forehead. “Charming…” He went for her cheeks. “And lovable all at the same time.” He came down to peck her on the lips for a few seconds which painted her cheeks with soft rosy colors.

“This is your fault,” she mumbled, scowling as she faced the mirror again.

It had been two months since she found out she was pregnant, bringing her pregnancy to nearly four months. In that time, her routine had become repetitious—progressing staying home or occasionally visiting her company to check on how things were progressing.

Xavier had forbidden her from continuing with the movie after a discussion with Director Jeunes, who shared the stunt ideas they had planned for her role.

Once the director learned she was pregnant, he immediately agreed with Xavier’s decision for her to quit, understanding the risks. Together, they decided not to disclose the true reason to the public, keeping the details of her forfeiting the film private.

As for Viviana, she never got the chance to show her face again, to either Anastasia or Xavier after what had happened at the hotel. Out of rage, Xavier had bought more than half of their company’s stock, making them go bankrupt in under a day.

The Perez company owned the news for a few weeks, the press questioning each shareholder who sold their shares and left the company.

A grin pulled on Xavier’s lips when he saw Anastasia’s pouty lips while her squishy cheeks begged to be pulled. Unable to resist, he pulled them hard enough not to hurt her.

“You’re so cute.”

Anastasia tried feigned anger but couldn’t bring herself to do so.

Tracie came to her. “We need to leave. I already have the list of the baby things we need to get. I had Mother make it and she included everything you’d probably need,” she said.

Anastasia released a sharp breath, completely regretting scheduling her baby shopping on that day.

All she wanted to do was nap the whole afternoon, but she needed to buy clothes for her baby.

She stared at her baby bump that grew every day.

“The wedding is in a week from now. We need to get everything ready. So come on now, the baby won’t come out if you continue to stare at it like that,” said Kael, holding her hand around his as he tugged it close to him as if she was a baby that needed to be kept within arms reach.

Xavier pecked Anastasia one more time on the lips before Kael and Tracie pulled her away, regretting he couldn’t go with them.

As soon as they left the mansion, he placed a call as he went to his study room.

“Were you able to find him?” He asked as soon as the call was connected. He opened his computer, a series of codes almost blinding him but he typed his way in.

On the other side, he could hear the sound of keyboards clashing against the silence that followed after his question.

“He made an appearance at a restaurant in Glamourwood,” Maxwell replied, the reflection of his computer screen appearing on his spectacles.

“What the fuck is he doing in Glamourwood?” Xavier questioned through gritted teeth.

“No idea. But from the looks of things, a trade might happen soon. But I doubt it’s in glamourwood since he’d already left the city,” Maxwell replied, zooming in on the camera that had captured the man they were looking for.

With a click on the keyboard, he forwarded the picture to Xavier.

Xavier stared at the picture before him, his expression grim and unreadable as he stared at his long-lost enemy who was seated at an outdoor restaurant, sipping a coffee like a regular citizen, waiting to be captured with a camera.

“Any news on his whereabouts now?” He asked, remembering the call was still ongoing.

“Not at all. I hacked into the airport system, but I didn’t see anything that could help us find where he’s now. He’s disappeared again and we don’t know when he will appear,” Maxwell responded, sighing as he continued to click on his keyboard.

“Glamourwood is only a few hours ride from Radiantia. Are there any chances he would visit here?” He asked, recalling Anastasia wasn’t by his side.

However, with Tracie and a few of the men he’d sent along with him to keep her safe, he wanted to feel relaxed. Sadly, he couldn’t bring himself to do so.

“If he does come to Radiantia, it must be by yacht or some other form of illegal transport,” Maxwell replied, adjusting his glasses. “But I doubt our cameras will catch him, even if we’ve doubled the surveillance. He moves like a snake, slipping past them without even casting a shadow.”

Xavier’s hands clenched together, resisting the urge to slam it across his computer.

“I see. Continue to keep a watch out. He might be acting nonchalant now but he definitely won’t play that game for long.” Then he hung up on the call.
