Chapter 387
“Dad. I’ll go back first.”
Tim Grimm was having his coffee. When he heard that his son was leaving so soon, he looked displeased. “It’s rare for you to come back. Stay for a few days before you leave!”
Jaydon Grimm said in a grave voice, “No, I still have to settle some matters in Greyport. After the wedding. Joann and I will come back to stay for a while.”
Tim frowned slightly but he still consented. “Alright then!”
“Then I’m going” With that, Jaydon left the study.
Thereafter, the couple bade farewell to the elders one by one
After saying goodbye to everyone, Jaydon and Joanna left the Grimm family’s villa and prepared to return to Greyport.
On the way back, Jaydon’s expression was clearly much more subdued, and he looked as if he was very restless and uneasy.
“What’s wrong. Jay? Did something happen?” Joanna could not help asking again.
Jaydon came back to his senses and put his arm around Joanna’s shoulders. “Nothing’s wrong.”
The suspicion in Joanna’s eyes intensified. “Jay, no matter what happens, you must let me know.”
She was worried that Bruce Everett had caused trouble again.
Jaydon bit his dry upper lip and comforted Joanna with a smile. “Indeed there’s a small matter! However, you don’t have to worry. I can handle it.”
When she saw that he was unwilling to say more. Joanna tactfully shut up and did not continue asking.
By the time they returned to Greyport, it was already past 10 pm.
The car stopped at the entrance of the Ona Place neighborhood.
Jaydon looked at Joanna affectionately “Joann, let me send you to the door!”
“No need! It’s already so late. You should hurry back and rest.”
Jaydon did not insist anymore. “Alright then!”
“Goodbye”
“Good night!”
Jaydon kissed Joanna on the cheek before driving off to his home.
He had to settle the matter with Carmel Basil as soon as possible. It had not been easy for him and Joanna to get to where they were today. He could not afford to let anything go wrong again.
The next day, Carmel arrived at Nephelene Manor early in the morning.
In the past, she often came here to spend the night, so she was familiar with the place.
Jaydon had just woken up when the servant, Zena, came in to report to him. “Mr. Grimm, Miss Basil is here.”
Jaydon frowned when he heard that. He had told her yesterday he would meet up with her but he did not ask her to come to
his house.
To his dismay, she actually came to his house.
“Take her to the living room!”
“Sure!”
Jaydon hurriedly put on his clothes and went downstairs.
In the living room. Carmel was still dressed provocatively and looked alluring as usual.
She was wearing a spaghetti–strap dress and high heels. She had exquisite makeup on her face and was wearing a strong perfume. She did not look like a pregnant woman at all.
“Why did you come to my house?*
“Mr. Grimm… I miss you so much!” Carmel pouted her tiny mouth and leaned close to Jaydon.
Jaydon pushed away her attempt to embrace him in annoyance and subconsciously stared at her abdomen. “You’re not lying to me, are you? How are you pregnant when you look like that?”
When Carmel heard this, she opened her bag and took out a test report. “Let me show you the hospital’s test report. It says it’s almost a month now.”
Chapter 387
Jaydon took the pregnancy test report and took a look. It did show a pregnancy in the early stage.
That’s impossible. The child can’t be mine!”
Jaydon had always been very cautious about such things. He would always take safety precautions whenever he did it!
When Carmel heard this, she pouted her red lips and said in an aggrieved manner, “Mr. Grimm, you mustn’t wrong me! My body and mind belong to you alone!
“If you don’t believe me, wait for the child to be born and do a paternity test. If the child isn’t yours, I’m willing to accept any punishment!”
When he saw Carmel’s confident look, Jaydon became even more furious.
“Did you tamper with the condom? Are you deliberately plotting against me?”
“Mr. Grimm, how can you say that? Condoms cannot 100% guard against pregnancy. This child is a gift from the heavens to
us!”
“You’re spouting nonsense. You must have tampered with it. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gotten pregnant so easily.”
Jaydon was no fool. Although condoms were not 100% effective at preventing pregnancies, the efficacy could reach 99%.
“Mr. Grimm, it’s useless to say anything now. I’m already pregnant. What do you think we should do now?” Carmel looked at Jaydon with a pitiful expression.
There was a trace of hope in her heart whereby she fantasized that Jaydon would change his mind and marry her for the sake of the child.
