A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession

Chapter 505

Liam and Anthony already had a tense relationship, and just as Liam was about to retaliate, he was slightly taken aback upon. hearing the news of Isabella’s pregnancy. The others in the room were equally surprised upon learning this news.

Excitedly, Cynthia asked, “Izzy, when did you find out you were pregnant? Do you know how many months along you are?”

Isabella, caught off guard by Anthony revealing her pregnancy, felt a bit embarrassed and replied softly, “I just found out yesterday and haven’t gone to the hospital for a check–up yet.”

Anthony had planned to take Isabella to the hospital this morning, but upon learning about Cynthia’s pregnancy the previous night, Isabella decided to come over first.

Upon hearing the timing, Cynthia felt a unique emotion welling up inside her. She and Isabella had found each other in this vast world, and now they were pregnant at the same time. Perhaps it was a strange kind of fate among sisters.

She immediately placed her hand on Isabella’s wrist, feeling her pulse. After confirming Isabella’s health and the stability of her pregnancy, Cynthia finally felt at ease.

Queena, who had been surprised for a while, finally responded to the news.

Pointing at the bellies of Cynthia and Isabella, she exaggeratedly remarked, “You two truly are sisters, getting pregnant at almost the same time. You look so alike, will your babies look the same too?”

In response, Cynthia and Isabella exchanged a smile. Isabella happily rested her head on Cynthia’s shoulder and softly said, “Although the chances of cousins looking alike are low, I would love for my

baby to resemble my sister’s baby.”

“Isabella, do you hope for a boy or a girl?” Queena continued asking.

Isabella paused briefly at this question, as she hadn’t thought about it yet.

Most people hope for a mix of sons and daughters. She already had Theo, so according to expectation, she might hope for a daughter this time. But she now felt that as long as it’s her own child, it doesn’t matter if it’s a son or a daughter.

With a sweet smile, Isabella replied, “I look forward to having a son or a daughter.”

Cynthia nodded in agreement, saying, “As long as this little one is born safely, it doesn’t matter if it’s a son or a daughter.”

The three women sat on the sofa, discussing kids. Isabella, having experience in this area, often shared stories of her experiences with Theodore with the other two.

As a doctor, Cynthia had knowledge about pregnancy and childbirth. But Queena, who didn’t understand much, listened with a mixture of fear and longing.

Queena had been quite busy lately with a film that needed to meet deadlines. However, as she was about to film scenes of pregnancy, she couldn’t find the right emotions. Upon seeing the news of Cynthia’s pregnancy, she decided to come over to seek inspiration.

After their conversation, Queena realized that pregnancy wasn’t just about morning sickness and a growing belly. It was a transition from being a girl to becoming a mother.

With this understanding, Queena gained a new perspective on the scene that had been unsuccessful despite multiple attempts.

In the afternoon, Cynthia and Isabella arranged to go to the hospital for a check–up. Even though Cynthia was skilled in medicine, it was still necessary to have an ultrasound to ensure the child’s well–being during the early stages of pregnancy. The two women planned to have their prenatal check–ups at Peace Hospital.

On the way, Liam and Anthony followed behind them, helping carry bags and belongings. The two men were completely devoted to their wives, not even concerning themselves with work matters.

Anthony handed over the company to Hunk, delegating all responsibilities except for some crucial documents to him.

Feeling guilty for not being there for Isabella during Theodore’s pregnancy, Anthony was determined to personally take care of her during this pregnancy.

Fortunately, Cynthia and Isabella’s check–ups went smoothly, with the babies developing well in the wombs.

Another good news was that not only did they discover that their pregnancies were close in timing, but their expected due dates were just a few days apart. If everything went as planned, they were likely to give birth around the same time. This news brought another wave of excitement for Cynthia and Isabella.

At the same time, Queena returned to the set with confidence alongside Hallet. The director immediately had the makeup artist prepare both of them and soon Queena was ready.

In front of the camera, Queena, with a conflicted expression, leaned into Hallet’s arms looking somewhat pale. In the corner of the frame, there was an ultrasound report showing pregnancy.

This scene depicted the male lead being forced to go abroad for some unavoidable reason, breaking up with the female lead to not hold her back, oblivious to the fact that she was already pregnant at that time. The key element of this scene was to showcase the female lead’s various emotions.

In the shot, Queena appeared desolate, gently lifting her head, placing her hand on her abdomen; her eyes filled with mixed emotions causing tears to well up quickly. She raised her head again, blinked back her tears, feigning indifference as she smiled at Hallet, saying, “You should go, take care.”

Hallet then got up and left, and Queena watched his departing figure, slowly collapsing to the ground, overwhelmed.

Queena had attempted this scene multiple times before, but this time she finally nailed it in one go. As this scene concluded, the staff were left in shocked silence for a while.

Queena’s performance was notably deep and did not reflect the level of a newcomer. The mix of emotions portraying a pregnant unmarried woman being abandoned evoked empathy from the audience immediately.

The director led the applause, expressing approval towards Queena. “Queena, you’re born an actress. In just a few days, you have improved significantly. Your performance was outstanding; it even moved our emotions.”

Gradually, the others in the vicinity also praised her.

Queena smiled faintly, closed her eyes, and gathered her emotions from the scene. Hallet quickly approached her, helping her up from the ground.

The director then had refreshments prepared for the two actors and sat beside them, pondering for a moment before speaking. “Both of you have great looks and acting skills. I am planning to shoot a sequel. Are you interested?”

“No,” Queena immediately replied without hesitation. For her, completing this film was already a significant mark of her professionalism.

Originally, this film wasn’t supposed to have as many intimate scenes. However, the previous male lead, for reasons unknown, managed to include numerous intimate scenes with the director.

It was only after Hallet found out and caused a scene on set, resulting in the replacement of the original male lead with himself. Otherwise, Queena didn’t know what she would have done.
