Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife [Book 2]

Chapter 225 - Are You Sleeptalking?!

Jennie stayed inside her car for a long time and it was only when she saw that it was already 30 minutes later did she move her car and drove away. Thankfully, that spot she parked earlier was an emergency parking spot where cars could stay there for an hour.

Jennie rushed home to think carefully on what she has to do to solve all her problems. There were too many problems she's facing right now and each one of them urged her to take action.

After deeply thinking about it, she finally decided that she couldn't do this alone.

However, who should she call?

Lisa?

If he finds out that she's pregnant with his child, he would surely try everything he could do to protect them. This was something that Jennie already knew. However, she didn't want to burden him any longer. Jennie knew that she was being nonsensical and selfish right now. They are husband and wife now and shared deep feelings for each other despite the short time that they spent together.

However, she also knew that she couldn't continue relying on him forever. She must do something. Grandfather Manoban's words didn't matter, Jennie already knew that the world they're living in was far more dangerous and deadlier than the world she's stepping into.

She would only become a live target for his enemies to take Lisa out of the picture.

Jennie didn't want that to happen.

Lisa was now someone very important to her, more than her family could even become in her heart. She didn't want anything and anyone to hold him back.

And most importantly, she didn't want him to lose anyone again.

Thinking like this, Jennie sighed dejectedly while standing before the glass windows which showcased the neon city lights that were flickering and sparklings like tens of thousands of stars.

She realized that she was too weak... Financial wise or powerwise, she still couldn't stand on an equal foot with him nor could she protect him against the enemies that he would face.

Then, what should she do?

Jennie leaned her forehead against the glass window in front and closed her eyes painfully.

At this moment, her phone that was placed on the coffee table suddenly lit up. A message from a long time friend came just in time to give her a ray of hope and relief.

Jennie said, "Rose."

On the other side of the phone, Rose frowned and replied, "What's wrong with you?"

Jennie was surprised and said, "What do you mean?"

"Your voice sounded like you've eaten something difficult to swallow and you're about to cry. And don't you dare lie to me or I'll hang up this call," Rose said while she narrowed her eyes.

Rose couldn't call herself Jennie's best friend if she couldn't even find out her friend's mood of the day. Due to their closeness and having no secrets between each other, Rose could more or less know Jennie like the back of her hand.

And because Jennie was her first best friend, Rose was even more observant and clear about Jennie. Thus, when she heard Jennie's voice, she could already tell that something happened and was troubling her best friend.

Jennie didn't expect that Rose could really tell if there was something wrong with her and felt choked up. The emotions that she was feeling from the moment she heard her pregnancy until right now finally exploded.

Jennie said, "I... I'm pregnant."

There was no sound coming from the other side of the phone for a full minute. Only the sound of light breathing and other than that, there was nothing else.

Just when Jennie was about to look at her phone and check if the call was disconnected, she heard Rose's voice once again.

Rose tapped her finger on the desk in front of her and finally said, "Which bastard?"

Jennie: "Huh?"

"Which bastard did it and left a child in your womb without taking responsibility?" Rose's sharp eyes glared at the distance as if she could see an image of a man leaving her best friend alone after leaving his seed inside of her.

Jennie felt that there was something wrong with what Rose said, especially the vicious words that came out of her mouth.

Feeling the need to explain the story from the beginning before Rose blows up, Jennie, just like in the past, didn't hide anything from her.

From the beginning till the end, Rose listened carefully and fell into contemplation.

After telling her what had happened in these past few months, Jennie felt drained and fell on her side in the couch, curling herself into a ball.

"So what you're saying is that you just found out that you're pregnant and that the IVF you took from before should have failed. But it didn't."

"And you're already married."

"And you haven't told your husband about your pregnancy."

"And your husband's grandfather talked to you earlier about the situation of their family, suggesting for you to leave before you get hurt?"

Jennie nodded, "Yes, you got all of it right."

Another silence sounded from Rose's side.

This time, however, it took more than a minute until there was a sound from her.

Rose's cold and harsh voice said, "Are you sleeptalking? Why haven't you told your husband about your pregnancy? Why do you even make things even more complicated by thinking about unnecessary things? What does your husband's family matters have anything to do with you? If they want to kill each other then let them kill!"

Jennie: "..."

Rose added: "And that ridiculous family of yours. Do they even have a brain cell left inside their heads? They don't even show any shame after ditching and using you? They just pop out of nowhere to cause trouble? And that Young master Yang... I've been dying to tell you this, if I see him again, he should hide or else I would cut his thing off so he can't fool another innocent young lady with his stinky charms!"
