Chapter 1190:
“Elva and Marcel grew up together, and Marcel’s mother likes Elva a lot,” Anika said slowly. “I was there the day Elva came to visit Katie with gifts. From what I saw, I think she likes Marcel p>
“Anika, you’re pregnant,” Annabel said gently. “Don’t stress over something like this. Marcel treats you well, and you two have been through so much. I don’t think he would betray you p>
Anika thought about everything Marcel had done for her, and she exhaled quietly. “But what about Elva’s feelings for him p>
Now that Elva had entered the entertainment industry, the two of them would inevitably see each other more often.
“Don’t overthink it,” Annabel reassured her. “There are countless female celebrities in the industry, and many of them are even prettier than Elva. Marcel hasn’t been interested in any of them. Right now, your job is to take care of yourself and have a safe delivery p>
Anika finally relaxed a little and nodded. “I understand. I should trust Marcel p>
They talked for a while longer before ending the call.
That evening, when Marcel came home, Katie’s excited voice greeted him immediately.
“Son, I saw the publicity photos of you and Elva. They’re wonderful. The two of you look so good together—like a perfect match.” She paused and added with a meaningful smile, “Elva looks even prettier on camera p>
Marcel responded casually, “I guess. By the way, why did she enter the entertainment industry?” He was genuinely curious.
“Of course it’s because you’re in it too,” Katie said with a pleased smile. The photos had put her in an excellent mood.
Marcel didn’t comment. He glanced around the living room. When he didn’t see Anika, he asked, “Mom, where’s Anika p>
“She wasn’t feeling well, so she went back to your room,” Katie replied dismissively. The mention of Anika made her frown without even realizing it. She added coldly, “She started feeling sick as soon as she saw the photos of you and Elva. She’s so narrow-minded p>

Marcel was actually glad to hear that. If Anika was upset, it meant she cared. With a faintly pleased tone, he said, “I’ll go upstairs and check on her p>
In the bedroom, Anika lay on the bed, still staring at the photos of Elva and Marcel. It felt as if a needle had been driven straight into her heart.
When she heard footsteps outside, she immediately knew it was Marcel. She tossed her phone aside and pretended to be asleep.
Marcel opened the door quietly. The room was dim.
As if the sound had just woken her, Anika yawned and said, “You’re back p>
“Yeah,” Marcel replied softly. “Mom said you weren’t feeling well p>
Anika nodded and asked, “How was work today p>
She was really asking about the photos.
“Not bad,” Marcel said evenly. “I did a publicity shoot with Elva p>
He said it on purpose, watching for her reaction.
Anika pulled the quilt higher and asked in a lowered voice, “There are so many people at your company. Why did the two of you have to take photos together p>
