It was as if the baby was just a tool!
However, perhaps people would change-just like how she was no longer the same person back then.
“No thanks. I don’t need to force anyone to marry me. I want the baby whether they’re a boy or a girl!”
said Kyla.
Jacqueline Bowman was suddenly a little upset. “Kyla, you don’t have to pretend in front of me. We both know each other’s past. You got pregnant at such an age. Didn’t you do it to tie the father down?
I’m just telling you that only sons can tie them down. It’s pointless to give birth to daughters!”
“As far as I’m concerned, both boys and girls are the same. I got pregnant because I like children, not because I want to tie someone down!” replied Kyla.
“Come on, you can only fool others with that kind of talk,” replied Jacqueline Bowman.
Kyla stopped explaining. After all, some people would insist on believing their preconceived notions. It was pointless to say anything else.
“By the way, it’s rare that we run into each other. Why don’t you give me your phone number? We can meet up for tea or something when we’re free!” With that said, Jacqueline Bowman took out her phone and asked, “What’s your phone number?”
Kyla hesitated slightly before giving her phone number. Though they had different worldviews now, Jacqueline Bowman had indeed helped her in prison. It would be rude not to give her her phone number.
After exchanging phone numbers, Kyla left, while Jacqueline Bowman went to the dispensary to get her medicine.
It was traditional medicine to nourish her health. The doctor said it was because she had undergone too many abortions. Therefore, it was difficult for her to get pregnant again now that she wanted to. She was 32 years old now. She would have a miserable future if she could not bear a son.
When she was released from prison, a businessman who had always pursued her kept her as his mistress. Speaking of which, the man was nice to her, but he was married and she was just a mistress.
She had thought of tying the man down, but he had told her that she could have anything she wanted as long as she did not get pregnant.
Therefore, she repeatedly had abortions! Now, she realized that she had no leverage without a child.
She could only get more money by having a child. It was why she was so eager to have herself checked. She only hoped she would have a chance to get pregnant. Once she got pregnant, she would have the means to make sure the baby was born!
After Jacqueline Bowman collected her medicine and was about to get into her car, she happened to see a man speaking respectfully to Kyla before opening the car door. Kyla got into the backseat of the car while the man sat in the driver’s seat. It seemed he was a chauffeur.
Jacqueline Bowman frowned when she saw the logo on the back of the car as it drove away from the hospital.
A Bentley!”
Although she did not know much about the car and could not figure out the specific model, she knew it was not cheap. The starting price might be millions of dollars.
‘Kyla is sitting in a luxury car that costs millions of dollars and has a chauffeur?
‘What the hell is going on here?
‘Kyla wasn’t wearing any branded goods earlier, but the car… It seems my former prison mate is leading a pretty good life!’
Jacqueline Bowman’s eyes glimmered as she began to cook up a scheme.
The next day, Jacqueline Bowman called Kyla and insisted on visiting her. She also said she had bought some stationery for Nelson and wanted to come over as she was now outside.
Kyla declined but failed, so she gave Jacqueline Bowman her address. Jacqueline Bowman drove to Kyla’s place half an hour later.
However, there was a hint of shock on her face when she saw Kyla’s store.
“Do you… run this store? Do you live here?” she asked.
“Yes, I’ve run it for years. Nelson studies in the primary school next door. It’s easier for me to take care of my child this way,”
replied Kyla.
Mrs. Corbyn was quite friendly to Jacqueline Bowman after learning that she was her daughter’s fellow inmate and had helped her when she was in prison.
She poured Jacqueline Bowman tea, cut some fruits, and brought out a lot of snacks for her.
“Miss Bowman, why don’t you stay for dinner later? What do you like to eat? I’ll go to the market to buy the ingredients,” said Mrs. Corbyn.
“No thanks. I’ll leave after a short chat. I just wanted to keep in touch with Kyla since it wasn’t easy for us to run into each other again,” said Jacqueline Bowman. However, her heart was full of disdain for this shabby place.
The tea and snacks Mrs. Corbyn had prepared were hard for Jacqueline Bowman to swallow. In her opinion, they were all cheap.
She came here today to find out what was with the luxury car Kyla got into yesterday.
After Mrs. Corbyn left to work on her things, Jacqueline Bowman pretended to ask Kyla casually, “By the way, I happened to see you getting picked up in a car when I left the hospital yesterday. I thought of giving you a ride at first. Who picked you up?”
“It’s just a chauffeur for someone I know. I’m pregnant, so they were worried that the bus would be too crowded. That’s why they asked their chauffeur to pick me up. But it only happens once in a while,”
said Kyla. She had told the chauffeur yesterday to tell Martin Weiss that she would take a taxi for future check-ups, so he did not have to send anyone to pick her up anymore.
Jacqueline Bowman said curiously, “I see. Then who was the one who sent their chauffeur to pick you up? The car I saw yesterday was no ordinary car. That person must be rich.”
She looked it up online yesterday and learned that even the lowest specifications for the car model she saw yesterday would cost more than three million dollars!
Kyla hesitated, not wanting to mention Martin Weiss. Hence, she only spoke vaguely, “Maybe they’re quite well off…”
“Could the person be the father of your child?” asked Jacqueline Bowman. She knew she got it right when she saw Kyla’s expression.
Jacqueline Bowman was now more convinced that Kyla was a wealthy man’s mistress, just like her.
However, Kyla seemed to be worse off than her. At least she lived in a high-end apartment, and the wealthy man gave her 100,000 dollars as an allowance every month.
‘All Kyla has is a store like this.
‘But then again, I’m younger and prettier than Kyla, so I can get better things than her,’ Jacqueline Bowman thought to herself. However, she was still smiling. “Why don’t you call your man out sometime? I’ll call mine out too. We can have a meal together and perhaps they can score some business deals!”
