“Then get in the car and have a meal with me. We’ll talk about it after we eat,” said Hadwin Stephenson.

‘Have a meal with him?’

“What about my car?”

Hadwin Stephenson said lightly, “Someone will park your car in the underground parking lot, of course. You won’t lose it. It’s up to you whether to get in the car.”

Lina struggled for a while before finally succumbing to the reality of the situation. She opened the car door and got in.

The car slowly moved. Lina looked at Hadwin Stephenson, who was sitting beside her. As usual, he was wearing a suit, and his hair was neatly combed. He looked like a perfect gentleman.

Lina got a little antsy when she thought of how she was carrying their child right now.

‘How would he react if he finds out I’m pregnant?”

No. I can’t let him find out. Otherwise, we’ll probably get more entangled with each other.

“What’s the matter? Why do you look so uneasy sitting beside me? Am I that scary? Hadwin Stephenson’s voice suddenly rang in the car.

“L.. I’m just worried about the compensation for the damage” Lina said quiitilty.

“Were you never going to ride in my car again if you hadn’t scratched my car?” he asked.

She bit her lip. For a moment, she had no idea how to answer him.

Hadwin Stephenson did not wait for her answer either. He tumed and looked out of the window The car stopped at a restaurant, which was quite famous i Emerald City Hadwin Stephenson had brought her here when they were dating back then. She enjoyed many of the dishes he However, when Lina looked at the dishes on the table befor her, she had no appetite even though Hadwin Stephenson ANY ordered her favorite dishes Hadwin Stephenson looked at Lina and asked, “Why aren’t you eating? Or is eating at the same table with me unbearable?”

Lina laughed dryly. “You’re overthinking. We… We’re only broken up. We’re not mortal enemies. I… I don’t find having a meal with you unbearable.”

She picked up a piece of sweet and sour prawn from the table and began to eat.

She had only taken a few mouthfuls when the familiar feeling of nausea came surging up her throat. Lina was only glad that the private room Hadwin Stephenson had chosen had its own bathroom, so she did not have to go outside to throw up.

She ran into the bathroom, locked the door, leaned over the sink, and threw up.

“Blaargh… Blaargh…” Lina felt her stomach emptying as she threw up. She had thrown up until there was nothing else left in her stomach. Then, she gargled her mouth. She looked up at her pale face in the mirror.

She previously thought morning sickness was common after reading about it in novels and watching it happen on TV dramas. She never thought it was a big deal. However, now that she was experiencing it herself, she realized how uncomfortable it was!

What was she going to do with the baby?

Lina straightened her clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

She suddenly stopped, and her face that was pale from vomiting turned even paler.

It was because Hadwin Stephenson was looking at a test report in his hand while sitting on a chair.

It was her… pregnancy test report!

Lina was shocked. She immediately rushed over, wanting to grab the report in his hand. She hoped that he did not understand what the data meant.

However, before her hand could touch the report, he raised his hand and made her miss her aim.

Then, he turned his head. There was a rare look of shock in his beautiful, deep eyes.

He had become more introverted over the years. Few things could shock him, but the report he was holding had set off waves in his heart.

“You’re… pregnant?” Hadwin Stephenson asked Lina in a mutter.

“How… How could I be pregnant? Give me back my report,”

said Lina. There was only some data on the report. The word ‘pregnant’ was not on it. Anyway, she was just going to deny it no matter what.

“Anyone with some common sense can see from this report that you’re pregnant. Unless the doctor you saw has no common sense,” said Hadwin Stephenson.

Lina bit her lip with her teeth. Quite some time pa**ed before she said, “What does it have to do with you whether I’m pregnant or not?”

“You’re carrying my baby. Tell me how is it none of my business?” Hadwin Stephenson asked in reply.

“Maybe it’s not yours!” she retorted instinctively. The words just slipped out of her mouth.

Suddenly, the air in the private room seemed to freeze. Hadwin Stephenson’s eyes darkened. “Then whose is it? Anthony Sherman’s?”

Lina only felt as if an invisible hand was strangling her throat. For a moment, she could not speak a word.

Hadwin Stephenson’s gaze gave her a sense of danger. It seemed Anthony Sherman would be dead meat if she answered yes.

“It’s… It’s not Anthony Sherman’s.” She finally managed to squeeze out those words after some time.

Her pale face and the slight trembling of her body made him feel a pang in his heart. ‘What’s wrong with me? I almost lost my temper just now.’

He was obviously happy about her pregnancy.

It was probably because of her denial that his heart, which was excited after reading the report, suddenly felt like it had been splashed by a basin of cold water.

“You have no appetite for these dishes, right? I’ll have someone remove them and replace them with some dishes suitable for pregnant women.” Hadwin Stephenson changed the topic and summoned the waiter over so he could order more dishes.

“Is there anything you want to eat?” he asked her as he ordered.

“I… I don’t have an appetite. You don’t need to order anything,”

she said.

Even so, Hadwin Stephenson ordered many dishes, but they were all lighter food this time.

Lina kept her head down and ate in small mouthfuls. Fortunately, she did feel like throwing up this time.

Hadwin Stephenson was still holding the report, but his eyes were on Lina.

‘She… is pregnant with my baby, our flesh and blood. A new life is growing in her belly.’

He had once hoped she would be pregnant with their baby, but he still had some concerns about the Stephenson family at that time. Therefore, he looked forward to her getting pregnant but was also afraid if she really did.

After she was seriously injured, he was even glad that she had never gotten pregnant. Otherwise, if lost the baby after getting injured, he had no idea how sad she would be.

Although Lina hung her head low, she could feel Hadwin Stephenson’s eyes looking at her. It made her feel like she was a panda.

She never intended on letting Hadwin Stephenson find out about her pregnancy, but God had different plans. ‘What does… Hadwin Stephenson think about it?”

Lina was nervous. She finally looked up and said to Hadwin Stephenson, “Well… Can you give me back my report…”

She stopped mid-sentence as the man in front of her was staring at her with red eyes. Tears were welled up in his dark eyes as though they would come bursting out any time.

She never knew that a man could be so attractive when his eyes. were full of tears till it seemed they could fall at any time.

She seemed unable to look away from him!

When she suddenly looked up, Hadwin Stephenson seemed a little awkward. He looked away and raised his hand to wipe his face. When he faced Lina again, there were no more tears in his eyes.
