My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 188

Camila’s calm words shocked everyone.

Manfred strode down from the stage with an indescribable surprise on his face. “Camilia, are you pregnant?”

“Yes” A gentle smile appeared on Camilia’s innocent face. She took out a pregnancy test report and handed it to Manfred. “The child is yours, and it’s already been four weeks.”

Manfred looked at the test results and thought for a moment. “Was it that night in the suburbs, in the car?”

Camila’s face was filled with shyness as she nodded gently.

In front of the large audience. Camilia and Manfred appeared like an openly affectionate couple, their love for each other impossible to hide. Pink bubbles surrounded them, accentuating the bride on the stage, who seemed increasingly isolated and lonely.

Tina had invited a considerable number of reporters to boost her image. Initially, the reporters believed there was nothing much to capture, as they were promised a wedding of the century. However, it turned out to be less extravagant than a celebrity’s wedding banquet. They had traveled from afar and found themselves without even a place to sit, forced to stand throughout the event.

Frustrated, the journalists were eager to finish their work. They just wanted to quickly get their shots, make do, and collect their pay as soon as possible. They never expected to stumble upon such a sensational and dramatic story.

[On the day of the wedding, the pregnant mistress arrived.] The headline was truly explosive.

The camera zoomed in, revealing Tina’s face. Beneath her heavy makeup, her face had twisted in anger, and her eyes were filled with a sinister look as if she was about to strangle Camilia Green to death in the next second.

The banquet was abuzz with discussion.

Albert couldn’t stay silent and approached Manfred, questioning, “Who is this woman? Do you understand how important today is? How dare you bring such an unsavory woman here? Are you intentionally embarrassing me?”

Manfred responded, “Dad, this is Camilia. She’s pregnant with my child. You’re going to have a grandson soon.”

Camilia greeted Albert openly, her smile as bright as a blooming flower, radiating purity and charm.

Upon seeing her smiling face, Albert couldn’t help but relax his furrowed brows. It seemed that his son had the same aesthetic tastes as he did during his younger years, appreciating this kind of pure and innocent young lady.

“Whether it’s my grandchildren or not, we can discuss that later. First, let’s get through this wedding. After this, it’s your business to marry more women after the wedding and I won’t meddle.”

Albert warned Manfred in a hushed voice.

Struggling to maneuver his wheelchair, Ralph approached. His face was stern, and asked, “What’s going on? How did this woman suddenly appear, claiming to be pregnant with Manfred’s child? Albert, don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”

His voice was rather loud, and Albert silently cursed him for not being afraid of embarrassing himself. Leaning in closer, he whispered, “Ralph, let’s not get agitated right now. I’m baffled as well. Perhaps it’s a prank played by some young folks. Let’s finish the wedding first. The guests are waiting, and we shouldn’t let them see this spectacle.”

Ralph was also someone who cared about his reputation. He glared at Manfred and reluctantly nodded.

However, Tina, who was filled with resentment, couldn’t bear it any longer. She rushed down from the stage, intending to collide with Camilia’s belly, shouting. “You wretch, how dare you act wildly at my wedding? I’ll teach you a lesson!”

Camilia stared back at her fearlessly, almost hoping Tina would lose her temper.

In this situation, the more Tina Woolery loses control and embarrasses herself, the greater Camilia’s chances of winning

As Tina carried her wedding gown, she charged forward recklessly. However, her high heels were too tall, and as she descended the steps, her dress hem caught her foot. She twisted her ankle, leading to an uncontrolled fall.

There was a collective gasp from the crowd. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Tina’s face hit the ground, and when she raised her head, she felt a sudden wave of dizziness. There was a salty, metallic taste in her mouth, and she had something uncomfortable lodged in her mouth. She gently spat it out, and her two front teeth. mixed with blond foam, fell to the ground..

Her vision finally regained clarity, and pain overwhelmed her.

“Ah!” an earth–shattering, heart–wrenching scream that seemed to overturn the roof and tear through the sky.

It was a tragedy for Tina.

The wedding ended in utter chaos.

While walking out of the hotel, a rare smile graced Pearl’s face. The unfortunate appearance of Tina had provided a good Laugh.

It was the right choice to attend the wedding event. If they missed this good show, they would probably regret it for the rest of

their lives.

Lucas chuckled. This wedding is something else. It started with a tearful scene of a dramatic soap opera, followed by a tumultuous family drama, and surprisingly, it ended as a comedy. It was an unexpected twist filled with ups and downs.”

He turned to Pearl. “Your cousin is quite something.”

Pearl remained noncommittal.

Lucas then glanced at Marc. “The level of chaos in this wedding rivals yours.”

Marc shot him a cold look as if wishing he could sew his mouth shut.

Lucas had touched a sore spot.

Pearl raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Indeed, Mr. Males‘ wedding of the century left a deep impression. It’s still fresh in our

memories.

It was as if Marc’s throat had been cut by a sword. He tightened his jaw, unable to say a word.

Clearly, Pearl’s remarks were intended as a one–sided taunt, with no expectation of a response. She waved goodbye to them. hastily, got into the car with Lindsay, and left.

In the car, Lindsay still seemed to be struggling to detach herself from the recent chaotic scene, staring off into the distance.

Pearl tilted her head to look at her. “What’s wrong? Are you frightened?”

Lindsay stared back at Pearl and nodded.

“Pearl, who is that woman who suddenly appeared? She said that she was pregnant with Manfred’s child. Is that true?” Pearl responded calmly. “That woman’s name is Camilia. She’s been with Manfred for a long time, and Tina knew about it. As for the child, she probably doesn’t have to lie. After all, we’ll know if the child belongs to Manfred once they do a DNA paternity test. Even if they don’t test, they can figure it out by just observing Manfred’s expression”

Lindsay’s lips were slightly pursed. “But, what about Tina? She has just gotten married. Would she think of a divorce?”

“Divorce?”

Pearl sneered. “A woman who could tolerate a man’s affair before marriage is bound to expect infidelity after marriage. She can endure it once, and she can endure it a few million times. Even if Manfred openly brings the mistress home. Tina won’t leave him. What she wanted from the start is the title of ‘Mrs. Day.”

“I don’t understand.”

Lindsay looked confused and shook her head. “Why do women have to compromise so much? What’s the point of such a marriage?”

“Not all women in the world can endure that. People have different desires. Some seek status and wealth, while others don’t

care for fame or riches but they only want a man’s true heart,”

Pearl stated softly, but she smiled coldly. “However, fame and fortune are easy to come by, but genuine affection is hard to find. If it were you, what would you choose?”

Lindsay thought for a moment and replied, “Success and fame are things that I can earn on my own, but I hope my future husband will be wholeheartedly devoted to me. If he can’t do it, I’d rather not have it.”

“You’ve got integrity. That’s great,”

Pearl smiled and patted Lindsay’s head.

Lindsay smiled obediently and asked, “Pearl, where did Mason go? I saw him rushing out in a panic, but I don’t know what he’s so busy with.”

“He’s desperately trying to save his year–end bonus,” Pearl said with a snort.

Lindsay noticed her displeased expression and didn’t dare to ask further.

When they were about to reach the Rose Garden, they saw an old man squatting at the entrance with a tobacco pipe. Mason and the others were standing beside him under the scorching sun with helpless expressions. When they saw Pearl’s car coming from afar, they felt as if they had been pardoned.

Lindsay got out of the car and looked at Mason. Then, she looked at the old man squatting on the ground in surprise and said in a trembling voice, “Grandpa?”

Pearl also exited the car and looked at the old man without saying a word. His lips slowly pursed into a straight line.

The old man felt uneasy under their gaze. He extinguished the pipe and placed it in his waist.

He clapped his hands and adjusted his clothes. Then, he opened his arms and grinned mischievously.

“My two little girls, why aren’t you coming over to let me hug you?”
