“Alright, how about two months of leave?”
Dr. Archer directly granted me two months of leave, leaving me stunned. It wasn’t until after hanging up the phone that I noticed Cinder looking at me with a speechless expression.
“So two months later, you’ll show up infront of them with a six or seven-month baby bump. Are you planning to give them a surprise?”
It finally dawned on me, “Oh no, I forgot to mention that.”
Seeing Cinder’s skeptical look, I quickly explained, “I swear I didn’t mean to hide anything. Lately, maybe due to hormonal changes, my memory has been declining, and I often forget what I want to say.”
I felt a bit frustrated.
“But, speaking of which, I am getting a bittired of this job.”
“Are you worried that someone at TWH
might reveal your pregnancy to Aaron, so you’re considering quitting? Or are you thinking about how to handle your psychiatric doctor boyfriend when you return to Germany?”
I looked at her in disbelief, “Sometimes, I think you can read minds.”
“Exclusive mind-reading for you,” Cinderchuckled playfully and then turned serious, “It’s just because you wear all your emotions on your face!”
“Alright.”
Cinder picked up a goblet, “Come on, let’s go to your room.”
“What for?”
“We haven’t had a night talk for long. Let’shave some drinks, eat something, and watch the sunrise or something,” Cinder said, ha ppily rushing out like an underage teenager.
I thought about the view outside my bedroom window and found it hard to imagine any angle where
I could see the sun rising.
But regardless, with my legs not cooperating, I had no choice but to be forced back to my room and start this girls’night.
After two glasses of juice, I also opened up to her.
“I considered quitting.” Continuing to stayat TWH would make everything complicated. I know how gossipy Charlotte could be. If she found out, the whole company would probably know.
“But I realized, even if I quit, can I escapefrom Aaron’s grip?” I hadn’t been drinking alcohol, but the juice made me feel tipsy.
I glared at Cinder with intensity, “I hate rich people. They always think they can save the world, but often become villains who want to destroy it.”
“Hey, girl, if you want to sc old Aaron, goahead and scold him, but don’t drag me into this, okay?”
Cinder, though a bit tipsy, was still logically clear.
She got up and patted my shoulder, “I can’t take it anymore; I’m feeling sleepy now. I’ll go to bed first.”
I waved goodbye to Cinder.
The moment the door closed, the smile on my face faded.
Cinder was pretending to be drunk.
There was no reason, but I just knew.
That was all Cinder was, unwilling to make things difficult for me no matter what happened
She would rather pretend to be drunk and joke with me about how to face my colleagues than seriously show her concern for me
It was just who Cinder was. She seemed unconcerned and the least reliable girl around me, but she could coherently help me find the perfect way out when I encountered difficulties
She knew me well and could stop at the right time. She never forced me to make decisions and claimed that it was for my own good. I was deeply moved by everything she did for me
But the truth was, it was by no means easy to find the perfect way out
After analyzing with Cinder just now, I realized that I must face my colleagues at TWH as a pregnant woman no matter what. Moreover, she reminded me that I had a boyfriend
I couldn’t always avoid my colleagues or Colston
But if I were to tell Colston, with whom I had not yet broken up, that I was pregnant with my ex’s baby, would it be too cruel for him?
I knew Colston liked me. He would do everything for me and was even willing to stand his parents up on Christmas in deference to my feelings
He was always gentle with good manners
Even if I was pregnant with my ex’s baby, I was pretty sure that he wouldn’t get angry with me
With that said, I felt I couldn’t face such an excellent man as Colston now
I peered out into the blackness of the night, feeling as uncomfortable as countless ants crawling over me. If possible, I wished I could drink all the wine downstairs and sleep for three days and three nights without having to think about these nasty things
But I couldn’t
The sudden ringing of my phone and Aaron’s name on the screen reminded me that I had another troublesome matter to attend to
After some hesitation, I reluctantly picked up my phone and put it to my ear. If that lunatic couldn’t reach me, he would do something unimaginable to Cinder and her family
Anyway, I learned my lesson when the medical system was hacked last time
Cinder had done a lot for me. I could no longer wait for her to help me solve all the problems like a coward
Moreover, when Aaron was involved, perhaps no one knew what I wanted better than I did
“Sweetie, can we meet?”
Aaron was still the same. Before I could even speak, he affectionately called me “sweetie” as if we hadn’t broken up
But unfortunately, 1t didn’t work on me. Hearing his endearment, I couldn’t help but wonder how many girls he had called like this
We weren’t in a relationship now, but Aaron casually showed his intimacy toward me. Did he ever treat
Lukita the same way?
Lukita… As that curse-like name arose in my mind again, I clenched my phone, my chest heaving violently
No, Aaron must have never treated Lukita so casually
Lukita was Aaron’s beloved girl, and he regarded her as his treasure. Now, he might even think that her reputation would be smeared if her name was mentioned to others. How could he show his promiscuous and frivolous side to her?
I couldn’t help but laugh contemptuously as I thought about it
It wasn’t until Aaron anxiously called me
“Olive” on the other end of the phone that I calmly spoke
“Don’t bother. Mr. Morris, we broke up a long time ago, didn’t we? I’ll go back to Germany soon. We may meet at my wedding with Colston next time.”
I hoped Colston could forgive me for using him as a shield.
I was sure he wouldn’t get angry with me, but he might not accept a pregnant woman like me even if I wanted to marry him now
But at least this could remind the person on the other end of the phone that I was someone else’s girlfriend now
“You’re not allowed to say that!” Aaron interrupted me irritably, but then he realized that he was a bit rude, so he tried hard to phone call. “I don’t think I have any spare time to meet you. My legs are being treated, and I have to go with my…
I have to sever ties with
Kristy and Chris next week. I’m very busy.”
Perhaps because I mentioned my incompetent parents,
Aaron remained silent for a moment, but he had no intention of letting me go. “Let’s meet next week. Where are you guys going? I’ll go with you.”
It seemed that Aaron wouldn’t give up
I gripped my phone and took a deep breath before telling
Aaron the address of the notary office that Cinder had ordered. “9 a.m. next Wednesday.”
Without waiting for Aaron to respond, I hung up the phone as if eager to escape from him
After calming down, I thought I might not need to care so much
Anyway, Aaron was about to leave, so we would meet for the last time. The conversation before his departure was nothing more than a farewell. What did I have to be nervous about?
On Wednesday morning, Aaron drove to pick Cinder and me up
He got out of the car and gentlemanly opened the door for
Seeing that I didn’t refuse him, Cinder didn’t say anything.
