Please Love Me, Mr. George

Chapter 51 What if the Baby is Gone?

Diana paused and sighed after some consideration, "He might. After all, many women will fall in love

with a man that she doesn’t love originally for the baby."

Exactly. This could be happening.

"But what if the baby is gone?" I asked in confusion.

Shocked, Diana slapped me on the shoulder all of a sudden. "What are you thinking about? You’re two-

month pregnant, and the baby is almost formed. What you need to do now is give birth to it safe and

sound. Stop bothering yourself with nonsense."

I covered my face with my hands fretfully. I had been experiencing high levels of anxiety lately, and I

could feel I was crankier than before.

Diana dried my hair and put me to bed, pacifying me.

Dennis didn’t show up again after midnight, but thunder kept crashing the whole night. Diana was afraid

that I would be too scared to fall asleep, so she stayed overnight.

It was true that I was unable to sleep, but not because I was scared, but because I was anxious. I didn’t

fall asleep until late last night. However, I was woken up by a phone call after I was half-asleep for a

while. At that time, day had already broken.

It was from Jackie, her voice urgent. "Ms. Kennedy, Jo Turner Credit’s people have already met our

financial staff, but about Thomson Group…"

"Call AC and ask them to handle Thomson Group’s audit work. You’ll take charge of the communication

work." Now my mind was in a turmoil, and I might mess things up at any time.

Jackie replied yes and continued, "And HY Technology will launch its new products at the end of this

month. Ms. Kennedy, you’ll probably go on a business trip in a few days."

I nodded because I was aware that a business trip was inevitable. Hanging up, I felt sick and

exhausted at the same time. I got out of bed and found Diana cooking porridge. She stared at me in

embarrassment. "Sorry, but I haven’t cooked for a long time, and I’m out of practice."

Looking at the burnt porridge on the table, I couldn’t help but laugh. "You won’t force a pregnant woman

to eat it, will you?"

Diana smirked, her eyes narrowing into slits. "At least try some."

Staring at the burnt food on the table, I could tell how it tasted without even trying, but I still took a

spoonful at the sight of her expectant face.

"How’s it? Do you like it?"

Looking at her eager eyes, I didn’t want to let her down but smiled, "I don’t think it’s done yet!" This was

the best compliment I could ever pay. However, her disappointed look was so hard to watch, so I

grabbed my bag and fled.

Diana followed me and yelled, "Come back early tonight! I’ll make something good!"

I was lost for words. Could she spare me?

Since I got up early, I arrived at the company in time, but bumped into Marcus in the elevator. At this

moment, I realized one thing in life. That was, the more you hated someone, it’d be more likely that you

would run into him here and there.

"Good morning, Ms. Kennedy!" Marcus greeted me in a sarcastic tone. "What? It was such a stormy

night. Wasn’t Dennis by your side?" He continued after a pause, "Oh I almost forgot. Olivia is afraid of

thunder. Each time there’s a crash of thunder, Dennis will come to her side, so apparently Dennis

wouldn’t have left her alone since the thunderstorm lasted the whole night."

I looked down at the pearls on my shoes and chuckled. It turned out that the reason Dennis left

suddenly last night was because he was worried about Olivia!

But that was totally reasonable. Dennis wouldn’t have fallen sleep if he hadn’t kept his love company

during the thunderstorm.

This time, I didn’t talk back to Marcus because he was right, and I wasn’t on firm ground.

In this relationship, I was the one being neglected. It was said that in a love triangle, the two people

who loved each other were the real couple, while the rest one who was in a one-sided love was

actually the other person.

"Hey!" Marcus nudged me and asked, "What’s wrong with you? Didn’t you hear what I just said?"

I shot a glance at him and recovered myself, replying, "I heard you. They are a perfect match!"

As the elevator door opened and I walked out, Marcus’s voice came from behind me. "Are you out of

your mind, Clara?"

When I walked into my office, Jackie was already waiting for me with a pile of papers in her arms. She

put them down in front me and said, "Ms. Kennedy, these papers are the documents you need to sign

on before the audit work starts. Jo Turner Credit has already begun working, and the audit work of

Newton Town should be completed in these two days. Jo Turner Credit will get started on the audit

work of the other districts after the day after tomorrow. The audit work of Thomson Group hasn’t started

yet, but AC will send their people here today."

Nodding, I opened the documents and signed on them as I spoke, "Pay more attention to the audit

work of the George Group. Tell me at once if there’s any problem. Besides, keep an eye on HY

Technology. When the preparations are almost done, it’d be time to launch the project."

Jackie nodded, waiting silently for me to sign on those papers.

I had felt under the weather lately. Since I had hardly slept last night, I felt a little sick after signing on a

few documents. Looking at the rest ones, I stared at Jackie and said, "Go ahead with your work. I’ll

return them to you when it’s done."

Jackie smiled and said, "It’ll be alright. I can wait until you finish all of them. I need to send some of

those to Jo Turner Credit and AC in a while."

I had no choice but to keep on signing after hearing what Jackie said. My temples started to throb as I

skimmed through the papers, so I just signed on the rest papers in one breath and handed them to Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Jackie, saying, "Here you are!"

Jackie was worried to see me worn out and asked, "Are you alright, Ms. Kennedy?"

"I’m fine!" It wasn’t the first day I had been like this anyway. Since she was unable to offer any help,

Jackie left with the papers. I grabbed my phone and wanted to call Mario, but he happened to be

calling me at this moment.

"Now that the audit work of the George Group is settled, are you going on a business trip in a few

days?" Before I could say anything, he asked on the other end of the line.

I nodded and replied, "Yes." Rubbing my forehead, I went on fretfully, "I’ve been feeling dizzy lately, and

sometimes I have a headache. Is that normal for a pregnant woman?"

Mario paused before he answered me, "Yes. Probably it’s because you haven’t taken good care of

yourself for the first two months of pregnancy. I’ll give you some supplements to strengthen your health.

Don’t forget to take them, and don’t overwork."

I said yes and bent over the dest weakly, grumbling in displeasure, "I wouldn’t have got pregnant in the

first place if I had known being a mother is such a tough job."

Mario chuckled. "Stop being silly! I’ll go on a business trip with you so that you’ll be taken care of."

I was both surprised and embarrassed to hear that. "Are you going with me on purpose or…"

"Don’t think too much. I have business to attend to as well."

Well…

"Fine. Let’s keep in touch then!" I replied, relived. Mario was a great friend who behaved properly and

considerately.

I hung up and lay prone on the desk. Now that I thought about it, the baby was two-month old.

In my original plan, I would divorce Dennis, get everything in business settled and leave Newton Town,

but things changed all the time. I was at a loss what to do next at this point of my life.
