"No, I'm not your brother's girlfriend, but...

Rika, I'm here for you.

“For me?"

"Yes!" Chantel took a deep breath and said honestly, “Okay, 1 guess there's no easy way to say this. I want to sleep with your brother and have a baby. Can you help me?”

Erica was shocked by what she was asking. She admired her courage a lot.

“But...are you even old enough?"

“What kind of question is that? I'm in college, remember?"

‘Oh, that makes sense. But giving birth to a baby for my brother...'

Erica hesitated.

Chantel understood her hesitation. This should not be taken Lightly.

She continued, "Since Ethan left, Auntie Blair's been sad all the time.

I want to give her a grandkid to make her and Uncle Wesley happy. I swear I'm healthy. I've even been to the hospital for a physical.

There's nothing wrong with me and I have the papers to prove it. And, if I can do this, the kid won't miss his grandpa and grandma. And they won't miss him. They'll have him all the time, if they want..."

And that was where Erica came in. She was integral to Chantel's plan.

She knew the Leonard family loved their two daughters the most. She couldn't go to Yvette; she'd never agree to a plan like that. But

Erica, on the other hand...

Erica was different. As far as Chantel knew, Erica had always been fearless and was up for anything. Even if Gifford found out Erica had taken part in her plan, the brother wouldn't really do anything to his youngest sister.

That was why Chantel came to find Erica. She could discuss it with her.

If Erica didn't agree, she would have to give up.

After hearing her explanation, Erica thought, ‘She's got a point.

Gifford's over 30, and it's high time he got a girlfriend.'

Erica was married, and her elder sister would get married soon too, leaving Wesley and Blair alone in Askor.

Gifford was the one who had brought Chantel home. He must have thoroughly investigated the girl's background before taking her to their family. She was no danger, and didn't seem to have any bad intentions against the Leonard family.

Moreover, Erica had been planning to introduce a girl to Gifford, and now, the perfect girl was in front of her

Her train of thoughts was interrupted by a knock on the bathroom door.
