Mango was a little depressed.
What was going on?
She knew that Walter was distracted by the news about Thomas, but what about the reason behind why everyone tried to hide it from Rainie?
Was it not because of the baby inside Rainie's belly and her feelings?
Nathaniel kicked Walter abruptly.
Walter was absent-minded and staggered when he was kicked by Nathaniel. He suddenly became furious and said, "Hey! Who kicked me?"
"I did! What? It looks like you're very angry today! Come on! Let's go train, shall we? And you, Carlo Foster, come with us!"
Nathaniel called Carlo's and Walter's names out loud. Then, he stepped forward, buckled Walter's neck with one hand, and grabbed him without saying anything.
Deborah was a little worried, but she was stopped by Mango.
"Don't worry, Deborah. Nathan knows what he's doing."
Hearing Mango's words, Deborah finally relaxed.
Carlo didn't flinch either and followed them.
Rainie said angrily, "Hey, Walter is especially mean to me today, right? Mango, have I offended him recently?"
"Don't think too much. He just drank too much today!"
Mango comforted her hurriedly.
Meanwhile, Deborah's head hurt.
Her husband was good in every way, but he was too impulsive sometimes. Nevertheless, this was precisely why she liked him, wasn't it?
Deborah said hurriedly, "Rainie, please don't mind him. He might be on menopause."
"Menopause? He is not even 40 yet!"
Rainie's words made Mango want to laugh, but she still comforted her, "Some men undergo menopause a bit earlier."
As soon as she finished speaking, Deborah grabbed her hand.
Whatever it was, they had to find a reason!
Mango pressed her lips together.
However, Rainie was still a little angry.
"Why did he come at me? What did I do?"
"It doesn't matter. You can just take him as a lunatic. But you and Carlo have a good
relationship."
Mango's words made Rainie a little depressed.
"Whatever. It's because he used my body to perform experiments. Initially, I thought couldn't get pregnant, but who would've thought that I could be cured and get pregnant? He was very worried that the medicine would harm the baby, that was why he always takes good care of me. He and I don't have a good relationship, but he and the baby inside me do. Every time I get a checkup, he would take the reports and make sure that everything was fine. He said that if anything happened to the child, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life. I'm worried about my child too. Even if I knew that I could get pregnant after taking that drug, I wouldn't even dare use it as it hasn't been officially tested out yet. This is the only child I have with Thomas. So if anything were to happen to my baby... I don't even want to think about it. That's how we became close. He's just a rich kid with no worries. He has a bad mouth, but he is not that bad, so that's why we're friends now."
Hearing Rainie's words, Deborah and Mango's hearts sank.
She was right.
No one could be sure if the baby in Rainie's belly would have any reaction to the drug. Now, everyone was gambling.
Originally, if Thomas had not gone into battle abroad, they had wanted to persuade Rainie to not have this child. After all, there were too many unknown variables. But at that time, the child was made without any of their knowledge, and since Thomas had gone abroad, this might really be Thomas' last and only child. So, he left everyone afraid that something bad would happen to the child.
With this in mind, Carlo could still be considered a gentleman.
