Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife [Book 2]

Chapter 239 - "Lisa... I'm Pregnant."

Jennie stared as the car slowly turned into a dot in the distance before completely disappearing from the horizon.

She slowly walked inside, step by step as if chains made of lead were tied on her ankles. She soon arrived in front of her door and inputted her password and fingerprint before the door finally opened.

This past month, she was the only one inside this huge house. The dark living room was haunting her and she somehow wished that Lisa would appear in front of her and hug her as she stepped inside their home.

But due to the conflicting emotions, mood swings caused by her pregnancy, and busy life, the warmth and happiness that she experienced in the past three months when Lisa was still with her made her want to have a mental breakdown.

No, she couldn't do that...

Doctor Qin said not to think about anything else or it would harm her child.

With the presence of darkness surrounding her, Jennie fumbled around to find the light switch. By memory, she finally found it but what she didn't know was that from the moment she arrived and entered the house, a pair of dark eyes were following her every move.

Even until now as Jennie weakly searched for the switch, those eyes continued to follow her.

Jennie didn't know that there was somebody else inside the house. And when her fingers pressed on the light switch, a bigger hand enclosed her hand and stopped her from turning on the switch.

"Ss!" Jennie gasped sharply and instinctively wanted to move her hand away. After what happened to her that morning, she seemed to receive trauma and fear that something would happen to her again.

However, before the fear could fully materialize and stimulate her greatly, she heard the person who had grabbed her just now speak while a hand gently touched her cheek:

"Shh... It's me."

Surprisingly, it was Lisa.

Jennie immediately felt comfortable and happy to have him finally by her side. But his next words soon halted those emotions.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Lisa continued, "Why did you keep such a big secret from me? Do you not trust me? Or do you think I don't have the right to know about it?"

Jennie froze for half a second there before she slumped down to the floor. Her strength completely left her body as she stared in shock at him.

The dark shadows obscured her eyes from completely seeing his face. However, his low and melodious voice that had a tone of anger was enough to tell her that he must have found out about everything.

And now, he might hate her for that.

Lisa didn't expect her to react this way and quickly grabbed her before she could touch the floor. However, when he touched her body, even though there was a layer of clothes separating their skin, he could tell that she was extremely cold.

The initial fire that was burning inside him was instantly extinguished when he saw Jennie being like this. He couldn't help but hug her tightly in his arms and carry her to let her sit on his lap.

"Why did you stay outside for too long? Look at how cold you are. Didn't I always tell you to wear your coat when you go outside?" Lisa was angry at her carelessness and hugged her even more tightly. He wanted to transfer the heat in his body to warm herself up.

Jennie didn't respond and continued to woodenly sit inside his arms as if he was a human stove, warming her body up. However, the cold that seemed to seep into her bones continued to become colder.

Soon, a drop of tear left her eyes and it was followed by other teardrops. The dam was opened and the water flowed continuously.

Lisa paused his hand when he felt her shoulders shaking. He realized that she was crying.

"Why are you crying? Shouldn't you explain to me first before you cry?" Lisa coldly said, but his hand was extremely gentle as he patted her head. It was too contradictory to what he previously wanted to do.

Jennie, however, cried even more when she heard him and painfully bit her lips to force the sound of crying from escaping her mouth.

But that didn't stop the soft whimpers that slipped from her lips.

He wanted her to explain but she couldn't find her voice. She could only continue crying silently and used her hands to hold him in place. She was extremely afraid. So afraid that he would leave her after finding out the truth.

She was afraid that if he didn't hear her full explanation, he would push her away and leave her completely.

All the people in her life left and abandoned her after leaving dozens of scars inside her heart. Jennie gradually accepted the pain and moved on.

However, when she thought of Lisa leaving her because she had hurt him because of her lies and keeping things from him, she felt that she was dying.

There was no pain, just death.

But she didn't want to let him go.

Jennie was almost breathless as she continued crying. Tears continued to flow down her cheeks and wet the front of Lisa's shirt. Lisa could hate her, loathe her, and even push her away. That was all right. But she will never let go of him no matter what happens.

Lisa was afraid that she would cry herself to exhaustion and collapse, he quickly told her, "It's alright. Don't cry, I'm not angry anymore. You don't have to explain and tell me why you didn't tell me what happened to you this morning."

He added, "But don't repeat this okay? I was worried to death when I heard the news that you were involved in an accident. I tried to call you several times and you didn't answer. I was scared that something really bad happened to you. So, next time, answer my call no matter what, alright?"

Jennie didn't speak, but she still nodded.

Lisa was relieved to see her respond and hugged her back to his arms and kissed the top of her head.

He waited for her to calm down and stop crying.

Then, he suddenly and unexpectedly heard her say:

"Lisa... I'm pregnant."
