Not many people know about the news that Hailee was pregnant because Ramon deliberately didn't announce it and tended to keep it a secret.
But, because Diego said his congratulations for Hailee's pregnancy in a loud enough voice, then some of the invited guests nearby could hear him clear enough.
Luckily the guests at the time were close relatives of the bride and groom, so it could be said that there were no outsiders around, except for Giana. And, most of them did know Hailee before as Theodore's fiancé.
Immediately, when several people heard that Hailee was pregnant, they immediately swarmed Hailee, vying to congratulate her, as if the event that day was not Ailee's wedding, because for a moment the bride was completely forgotten.
"Pregnant?" Giana hissed. Her eyes stared blankly at Hailee who was responding to the congratulatory words sent her way with a smile on her lips. "She is pregnant?"
"Oh, I just found out about this as well…" Aileen mumbled as she looked in the same direction as Giana. Then her eyes caught the figure of Theodore, who was standing transfixed. The man also heard what these people were talking about, the fact that Hailee was pregnant.
Not only that, even Mr. and Mrs. Gevano seemed to be trying to hide their shock and acted as if they were happy to hear the news.
Because it was undeniable, that Hailee and Ramon's marriage caused skepticism among many people who said that the marriage was just a convenience marriage, but with the news of Hailee's pregnancy being quite fast, of course it took them by surprise.
"I didn't know about this news…" Aileen mumbled again. Her brows furrowed in displeasure at the excessive attention Hailee receiving from these people. Why did she always be the center of attention?
On the other hand, Giana didn't say anything, but her eyes were now glaring at Ramon who was walking toward his wife who was surrounded by a lot of people, as if he was worried that something might happen to Hailee.
Ramon simply walked past Aileen and Giana, without turning or glancing at them, as if the two women were not there, or maybe his only focus right now was Hailee, so everything else was nothing in his eyes.
While Giana could only stare at him without being able to do anything. No. This was not the right time for her to do anything. There was something else she had to do first before doing anything about her relationship with Ramon.
"You just found out about this too?" Giana asked Aileen, of course after her great efforts to distract herself from Ramon and Hailee. "I thought you two were close enough to share information."
Aileen glanced at Giana, as if this woman had just said something unreasonable. "Close?" Aileen sneered. "This is an annoying misunderstanding."
Giana raised an eyebrow when she heard that. "I guess my assumption was wrong then."
Aileen didn't answer, but then she turned around and drank another glass of wine in frustration.
