And Here I Thought It'll Be a Peaceful Day

"Blerghhhhhhhhh"

Behind the closed door of the last stall of the women's bathroom, Jessica was experiencing one of the biggest crises in her life - or so she thought it was. Her face scrunched as continuous waves of vomiting urge struck from her stomach to her throat. However, nothing ever comes out of her retching.

"Ugh! I feel like I have a terrible acid reflux situation, but the type where I am dying from seasickness. Ughh." Jessica spat a mouthful of saliva down the toilet before flushing it.

As she straightened her back, Selina released Jessica's hair from her grip. Due to her constant retching, Selina held her hair backward for her, so it wouldn't be dirtied. While she held Jessica's hair in one hand, her other hand was used to stroke Jessica's back.

Celinda and Kyla stood next to Selina and Jessica in the stall, holding Jessica's belongings in their hands. From their observation, they were eighty percent sure she was pregnant, but Jessica will need to visit the hospital for a thorough examination to confirm their suspicions.

"Jess, how are you feeling now? Any better?" Selina frowned as she patted Jessica's back. Jessica's eyes reddened from all the fake vomiting earlier.

Taking tissues from her purse, Celinda handed them over to Jessica to wipe her mouth and tears. Jessica shook her head, covering her mouth with the tissue. "I feel even worse. Could I really be pregnant? But I-"

At that moment, Jessica's eyes widened as if she realized something. She spread her hand out and started counting her fingers. Then, she stuttered and asked Kyla to take her phone out of her purse.

After unlocking her phone, Jessica opened her period tracker calendar and scrolled to the week she had unprotected intercourse with Alfred. "..." Jessica remained speechless and stunned for several seconds before Selina snapped her out of her deep thought.

"Jess? Jess! What's wrong? Are the days correct?" Selina stared at where Jessica's thumb pointed to. Her fingertip was on the day of ovulation where the highest chance of pregnancy was marked.

"Ah...Blame me! That night! Alfred was so sweet to show me my own wine cabinet and I got overly excited!!! I swear when you have wine and beauty in front of you, who would think of otherwise? It must have been that wild night when this happened! Ah, could I really be this lucky to get pregnant though? If so, damn that guy's sperm must be some strong swimmer!" Jessica jokingly remarked, giggling halfway through her sentence.

"Aish! What happened to you saying you'll wait it out? Jeez, well on the bright side, you two are husband and wife and he is a good husband. Let's bring you to the hospital to double-check, but do be careful before we get you tested." Selina held onto Jessica as if she was holding a billion-dollar antique.

"Ehehe, you know me...I can't wait! I mean I know I already fell for him, so what's the point in waiting. Plus we were husband and wife. I didn't bother waiting with patience! Ehehe. Oh well! If I am really pregnant, then that is great too. I've always wanted my own family!" Jessica scratched the side of her head as her other hand rubbed her lower abdomen.

Seeing her gentle movement, everyone shrugged. Celinda suggested, " We should head back to the party after Jess washes her hands. I wanted to text Yi Wei, but she doesn't have her phone with her. If the guys find all of us missing, the wedding will become a human search instead."

Although what Celinda said was quite exaggerated, but deep down, they all knew their husbands were capable of performing such actions. Therefore, all of them agreed to head out of the stall since Jessica was alright now. As soon as Celinda stepped forward to unlock the stall door, the girls overheard a woman speaking on the phone in a whispering voice.

Interestingly, the lady checked every stall, but the last one since there was a janitor cleaning sign placed on that door. Hence, she did not bother checking if anyone was in the last stall.

Hearing the familiar voice, Jessica and Kyla nodded at each other. Before Selina and Celinda could make a noise, both of them felt a tap on their shoulders and turned around. Kyla and Jessica placed their index fingers on their lips, signaling the girls to stay put and remain silent.

Nodding, the girls stayed behind the closed stall door and eavesdropped on the lady's conversation outside. Through the narrow gap of the stall, Kyla saw the reflection on the restroom mirror. Indeed, the lady was the person she and Jessica had recognized - Madam Wang!

Ever since Kyla's pregnancy incident, Isaac had directly cut off relationships with his parents. Although their relationship had long been gone, the words were never strictly spoken the way Isaac told his parents off.

Of course, since they've cut ties already, Madam Wang was not amongst the honorable guests invited to their private wedding today. As the girls listened, their expressions turned incredibly ugly. The smiles on their faces disappeared and only annoyance was shown on their faces. If anyone saw them right now, they would definitely not have thought it was a wedding these girls were attending - more like a funeral.

"Okay, good job. The money has been wired to your account." Madam Wang whispered the last line to the opponent on the other end of the call. Through the cracks of the stall, the girls carved the disgusting smirk on Madam Wang's face before she exited the restroom.

Squinting, the girls started coming up with a plan together.

Kyla crossed her arms and clicked her tongue. "You want to play with me? Let's see who plays whom at the end!"

Selina cracked her knuckles, giving her lips a slight lick. "It seems like I haven't exercised in a while. Girls! Looks like we can't get a day of peace around here. Shall we proceed with our plan just now?"

Celinda and Jessica clapped in unison. "Of course! Let's go!"
