“What did you say? I didn’t catch that just now!”
He asked again. His sharp eyes stared unblinkingly at
Cora as if he didn’t want to miss any expression on her face.
His gaze made Cora feel so nervous that she clenched her hands tightly. She managed to screw up her courage and said,
“I’m pregnant. If you don’t want to keep the child, I…”
But Byron interrupted her before she could finish speaking,
“We just had sex a few days before. How did you detect that you were pregnant?”
As he said, he went to Cora and stood in front of her.
Cora heard the sneer in his words. Obviously, he didn’t believe that she was pregnant with his child.
But she had already said this, so she could only bite the bullet and continue,
“I’m serious, and it has nothing to do with that day. I’m two months pregnant.”
She took an ultrasonic examination report from her bag and handed it to Byron.
Byron took it and read it carefully. Finally, he stared at the two words
“eight weeks”.
Cora was calm. She worked in a hospital and knew what this kind of pregnancy test report was. It was easy to make a fake test report.
As for the date, she had calculated it. Byron would not doubt that she was eight weeks pregnant.
Of course, she was cautious. The doctor in charge of the ultrasonic examination was not in the report.
Even if Byron wanted to get to the bottom of it, he wouldn’t implicate others.
Byron kept staring at the report and showed no other expressions, let alone say anything. Cora was a little unsure of what he was thinking.
She thought if Byron still loved her, he would be happy to get back together with her when he heard this news.
He had a strong desire for her and would have sex with her every night. If she didn’t take any precautions, she could get pregnant soon.
But at this moment, Byron looked indifferent and said nothing more. Cora thought,
“Could it be that I angered him during the day, and he planned not to have any contact with me again?”
She couldn’t figure out what he meant and was a little embarrassed.
After some internal struggle, Cora continued what she had not finished,
“If you don’t want to keep the child, I will get an abortion. But you have to be responsible for the medical expenses.”
“If this scumbag doesn’t want to be responsible to me, I will blackmail him over the medical expenses!”
When Cora was thinking, she saw Byron carefully folding the report in half and then putting it in his pocket.
She was surprised and then heard his words.
“Since you are pregnant, you should give birth to the child. Don’t worry. I will be responsible for you and the child. I promised you before.”
Cora was dumbfounded.
She thought in a daze,
“So this thing is…
done?”
“Then, we…”
She wanted to make sure whether this meant that they were together again.
Before she could finish speaking, Byron put his arm around her waist.
“What are you doing?”
Cora didn’t know why he did this all of a sudden.
“I heard that pregnant women can’t stand for a long time in the first trimester of pregnancy. Go to the private room and sit down.”
Cora was surprised by what Byron said.
She was just a fake pregnancy, and she never thought she would be treated like a real pregnant woman.
But Byron didn’t seem to notice her surprised look. He took her to the private room carefully.
Seeing the two of them enter the private room together, Carter immediately gave his seat to Cora and asked the waiter to bring a set of tableware.
He thought he was thoughtful enough, but Byron took the initiative to order the waiter,
“I’d like a glass of milk, fried shrimp…”
Byron ordered a few light dishes and specifically asked the waiter to recommend and serve a nourishing soup that was suitable for pregnant women.
Carter was acute. He immediately caught the words
“pregnant woman”!
“Miss Lane, are you…
pregnant?”
Carter stared at Cora’s dress for a long time but couldn’t see anything different.
Being stared at, Cora felt a little guilty and uncomfortable.
Except for Carter, others at the dinner table knew Byron’s family background well. Just now, Byron entered the private room with his arms around her waist.
So it was self-evident who was the child’s father in her belly.
Some men in the private room had just taken out their cigarette cases. Knowing that Cora was pregnant, they immediately put the cigarette cases in their pockets.
Compared to Cora, Byron looked relatively calm.
“Well, she just got the report. She is two months pregnant. I’ll be a father in several months and still can’t adapt to this role change.”
Carter was speechless.
Although Byron said that he could not adapt to the role change in a casual tone, there was a feeling of complacency in his words. Carter understood what he meant and felt speechless.
“Are you going to keep the child?”
Carter knew the situation of the Hansen family well, so he couldn’t help asking.
As soon as he said this, Byron glanced at him coldly.
“She is pregnant, and the baby is a life. Of course, I will keep the child.”
“I mean, her pregnancy will involve many other things,”
Carter reminded.
Byron seemed to realize this point.
“Well, you are right. Remember to postpone the meeting and other affairs tomorrow morning.”
Carter seemed to know what Byron wanted to do, so he quickly agreed.
After observing for a while, the others at the dining table stepped forward to toast Byron and congratulated him one by one.
Cora thought her trick worked. She ate maternity meals guiltily.
After the dinner, Byron was drunk.
Carter drove them back to the apartment. Something was weighing on Cora’s mind all the way.
After she told Byron about her pregnancy, she planned to tell him about her request to give birth to the child. But before she could say it, he took her to the private room.
Then, Byron ordered maternity meals for her. During the dinner, Cora spent the rest of the time watching him accept the congratulations and drink wine without hesitation as if he was a groom.
Cora couldn’t control the situation and had no time to tell him about her requests. So she was preoccupied.
After a while, the car arrived at the apartment.
Carter helped Byron onto the sofa and asked Cora,
“Mr. Hansen is drunk. Can you take care of him alone tonight?”
“Maybe.”
Cora looked at the man on the sofa, who smelled of alcohol. She hesitated for a moment but still nodded.
She couldn’t tell him about her requests if she didn’t keep him here.
“Okay. I’ll come pick you up tomorrow morning.”
After saying this, Carter left.
Cora hesitated for a while. Then, she went to Byron and patted him.
“Wake up! If you’re not drunk, listen to me first!”
Byron opened his eyes and glanced at her.
“I’m listening. Go ahead.”
“I want to say that I also have requirements for giving birth to the child. You have to agree to my requirements first.”
Cora glanced at Byron and saw his eyes were still open. His expression had hardly changed. There was no trace of displeasure on his face. She mustered the courage and continued,
“My brother got into trouble in another state and was detained. If you can take him back, I will give birth to your child.”
After saying that, she looked at Byron’s reaction, only to find his eyes closed.
“Byron?”
Cora approached closer and patted his cheek. She was a little discouraged when she heard the sound of even breathing.
“You are sleeping! How can you fall asleep at such a critical time?”
She was so angry that she even pinched Byron’s cheek.
