All Chapters of Bump and Run: The Ex's Pursuit: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Sophie had initially felt Lillian's reaction was too calm to be natural. But the mention of Serena's name had struck her silent, left speechless as if frozen.It took a while for her to process the information. "I... I thought she wasn't coming back."There was silence between them. Sophie, as Lillian's confidant, knew the high society well enough and was familiar with the public’s admiration for Serena's heroic save of Oliver—a handsome man and a beautiful woman made for a good narrative. But as Lillian’s best friend, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow for her.It was a sad truth that unrequited loves often faded into oblivion.Sophie bit her lip, indignant on her friend’s behalf. "Actually, what does it matter if she's back now? If I were you, I wouldn’t let go so easily. After all, she and Oliver aren't a couple, and you are married to him, with a child on the way. I refuse to believe that Oliver will make you have an abortion!"Lillian, who had been quiet, finally looked

Lillian waited from dawn to dusk, but a reply from Oliver never came. Her phone lay silent, as if cut off from the world. She used to wish for such quiet when she was busy working, longing for a moment of peace. But now...As twilight deepened, her phone finally chimed—a message. Startled, she grabbed it, only to feel a sinking disappointment. It was Sophie asking, "How are you holding up? Did you come clean to him?"Lillian stared at her phone, a hollow laugh escaping her. It was laced with self-mockery. She had known the outcome, hadn't she? Yet why couldn't she let go? Why expose her wounds for all to see, only to be disregarded?How was she supposed to face him now?Leaning against the bed, Lillian lay back, eyes closed. Where was he now? What was he doing? How had he reacted to knowing she was pregnant? Would he tell Serena? How would Serena see her now?In an instant, Lillian felt every ounce of strength drain from her limbs.That night, Lillian could only stomach a few sips of

"Wow, now that you mention it, it does seem plausible.""It's always been the case. Since when do the wealthy elite work as secretaries in a company?""But I don't get it, why a sham marriage?""There must be a reason. I've heard Ms. Shen and Mr. Qin grew up together. When the Shen family went bankrupt, Mr. Qin stayed by her side, probably as a way to lend a helping hand. Look at her now, nobody dares to bully her.""So, our Mr. Qin is quite the hero.""I also heard Mr. Qin has been waiting for Serena to return from abroad. A man who is both loyal and passionate, tsk, that's our Mr. Qin for you."As people chattered, Lillian stood behind them, listening without avoidance. Her expression was calm, as if she wasn’t the subject of their gossip.Until Nolan's car stopped in front of everyone, the window rolled down to reveal his handsome face, "Get in."Lillian got into Nolan's car under the watchful eyes of everyone.Only after the car had driven a good distance did those who had been di

Confronted with his piercing gaze, Lillian felt at a loss. Moreover, hadn't he come to the office with Serena at noon? Why wasn't Serena in the office now?As she pondered, Nolan asked her something, and Lillian snapped back to reality, hastily responding. After the work report concluded, Nolan prepared to leave, and Oliver nodded indifferently.Once Nolan stepped away, Oliver's gaze fell unforgivingly upon Lillian. Earlier, standing behind Nolan had offered her some shield.Now, there was nowhere to hide.As Nolan neared the office door, he suddenly turned back, looking at Lillian, "Lillian, shall I continue to pick you up tomorrow at noon?"Hearing this, Lillian tensed. Oliver seemed to catch onto something, his eyebrows lifting."Mr. Qin, would you mind if I spoke to Ms. Shen for a moment?"Lillian furrowed her brows. What was he trying to do?Before she could react, Oliver coldly replied, "It's best if you didn't. After all, we’re within working hours.""Oh?" Nolan seemed surprise

Upon arriving at the hospital, Sophie surveyed the surroundings with a strange expression and whispered to Lillian, "Why didn't we go to a larger hospital? Could this small place harm your health?"Lillian replied indifferently, "It's inconvenient."The large hospitals had connections with Mrs. Qin, and it was there, without considering her pregnancy, that she had her initial check-up. Now that she intended to address the situation, she naturally couldn't return to that hospital.If anyone discovered her condition and informed Mrs. Qin...For safety's sake, Lillian decided a smaller hospital would suffice.Sophie registered and paid on Lillian's behalf, and a check-up was necessary. The two sat waiting, Sophie occasionally turning to observe Lillian, her glances becoming more frequent over the minutes.Lillian finally reached her limit."Why do you keep looking at me?"Sophie's eyes reddened slightly."I'm wondering when you became so indifferent?"Lillian was taken aback.Had she bec
