Even if she wouldn't accept, Sally would accept it. She couldn't go against her wishes. And she definitely wouldn't stoop to being the villain.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. Linda, in her room, asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Miranda," came the reply.

Linda hesitated for a moment but still went to open the door. Miranda stood there, holding a bowl of soup, smiling gently at her. "Since you didn't come down, I brought you some soup. Sally made it, and it smells delicious."

"I'm not really hungry," Linda said.

Miranda placed the soup on the table and turned to look at her. "Did you lose your appetite because you saw me coming?"

Linda hurriedly denied, "No, don't think like that."

"That's good then," Miranda said, affectionately taking her hand. "You're young, so call me sister from now on. If you need anything, just let me know. As long as I can, I'll help you."

Her warmth made Linda feel a bit overwhelmed. "I..."

"Don't be shy. I'm an only child and always wanted a sister. You look so much like me, you could be my sister," Miranda said, then added, "Oh, by the way, I had my assistant pick out a few sets of children's clothes. Take a look and see if you like them. If not, we can go choose together."

With that, Miranda took out two sets of children's clothes from her bag.

This made Linda feel closer to Miranda, and filled her with maternal warmth. "How can I accept this? You bought clothes but I'm only a little over a month pregnant. My belly isn't showing yet." She took the two sets of clothes. She hadn't thought about buying clothes for the baby yet, but they looked adorable.

Miranda said, "It's good to be prepared. This is Nash's first child, his eldest son, so it's important. When the child is born, you'll be the hero of the York family. Sally told me your family is going through a tough time. After you give birth, she'll give you a house and a car. She really cares about you."

Linda felt hopeful. If the chance of becoming Nash's wife was slim, having money was still a good option.

"Really?" she asked.

"Of course, I wouldn't lie to you."

Changing the subject, Miranda continued, "But Nash and Nina haven't divorced yet, and you're living with the York family. What if Nina comes back?"

Linda replied confidently, "She won't come back."

"How do you know?" Miranda asked.

"I heard it. She's divorcing Nash and came back once to get clothes for him." Linda still felt very confident about this.

"Did you know they've been discussing divorce for months now, but nothing has happened?" Miranda remarked.

This caught Linda's attention. "They've been talking about it for months? So they're not going to get divorced?" Even though Nina publicly announced their divorce in front of so many people.

"I thought you knew. Apparently not. Nina talks a big game but doesn't follow through. Being Mrs. York is better than being a secretary. If you were in her position, could you handle getting a divorce? How could she give up such a good situation? You underestimate her," Miranda explained.

Seeing Linda absorb her words, Miranda gently stroked her hair and continued, "You're too naive. Nina is a schemer. Do you think she married Nash out of love? It was her plan, pressuring Nash into marriage. Getting a divorce won't be easy. If she discovers you're carrying Nash's child, who knows if that child will even survive in your womb."
