"Of course it's my husband's." I smiled faintly and asked her, "What about yours? Whose is it? Are you going to deliver it or not this time?"
I knew that Caroline had aborted twice at college.
At that time, she dared not to let others accompany her. So she could only ask me to go with her.
Caroline trembled with anger by my provocation, "Charlotte Archer, you b*tch! I won't let you give birth to this child!"
After that, she left angrily with the test sheet in her hand.
I also felt a little uneasy in my heart. After all, Caroline was never a kind person. If her child died and mine was alive, she probably couldn't become Patrick's legal wife.
I began to ponder over whether I should tell Patrick about my pregnancy.
However, I put this matter aside because of my tight work schedule.
Two weeks later, on a weekend, Ned asked
me and Patrick to visit him at home.
When I saw Patrick in the car, I was in a trance for a moment.
In other words, we hadn't seen each other for almost a month.
The weather of various seasons in City Y was drastically different. Although it was in September, the weather was obviously getting colder. I wore a loose shirt to cover my stomach.
Ned looked at my loose clothes and immediately beamed with joy, "What's wrong? Could it be that my little grandson is on his way?"
I smiled and said, "Grandpa, how can it be so fast? If there is, we will inform you at the first time."
But Ned didn't let us go. He said mischievously, "Did this kid neglect you because he was too busy with his work? If so, tell me. And I'll take care of him!"
I immediately shook my head and reached out to grab Patrick's arm, who was right next to me, "No, Patrick treats me very well and cares about me very much. As for the matter of the child, it is up to fate. Don't you think so, Grandpa?"
"Yeah, I agree." Ned felt that what I had said was reasonable. So he did not ask any further questions.
Now, I had learned how to put on shows in front of Ned.
I turned my head and looked at Patrick, who was also looking at me. And his expression was a little complicated.
I did pretty well over the dinner. And I didn't arouse Ned's suspicion.
