CHAPTER 216: CHAPTER 216: I’M PREGNANT (PART 20)

"It’s not difficult to catch you." She raised her head, "The last time I saw you, I said I wanted to chase you, and this time I saw you, I have you in hand."

"For you, it’s not difficult."

Lily Green stood on tiptoe and kissed him quickly, "Can I stay with you this whole week?"

"You..." He was too shy to look at her, "No need to go to work?"

"I’m on a break, I brought clothes."

"You’ll feel bored; I can’t stay long in the room with you during the day."

"It’s alright, seeing you every day is good enough for me."

At night, the two lay embraced together, neither of them fell asleep.

"During the month of practice, did you think about me?"

"I didn’t deliberately think of you, but you always sneak into my mind without permission, couldn’t shake you off, it affected my calm meditation."

Lily Green chuckled secretly, her arm around his waist tightened.

The two slept like this for a night, and when she woke up in the morning, he was no longer beside her.

A note was left on the bedside table.

[Wait for me when you wake up, I’ll bring you breakfast.]

Lily Green felt sweetness in her heart and got out of bed to wash up.

She had just finished putting on makeup when he came in.

He was holding breakfast.

Quite light.

Honestly, after getting used to eating outside, eating here was very unfamiliar.

But Lily Green didn’t show it at all, "The taste is pretty good."

He felt relieved, "Not that bad, right?"

"Yeah, not bad."

After eating, she rinsed her mouth, thinking he would take the plates out, but he didn’t move.

"Aren’t you very busy?"

"I don’t want to leave this room." He turned and said, "Even if I go out, I want to come back soon."

"You should go and take care of your work, I’m not going anywhere, I’ll stay right in your room."

Only then did he get up, picked up the plates, and didn’t forget to kiss her before leaving.

Watching Logan Moore rush out, Lily Green rolled in bed.

At this moment, she wasn’t the vice president of Clan Green, but just a girl freshly in love.

"Eat more." Arthur Bennett served Flora Palmer some dishes.

"I’ve gained weight recently."

"Isn’t it normal for women to gain weight when pregnant? You’re carrying for two now, the child needs sufficient nutrition." Arthur Bennett said while eating, "I’ve arranged a gender check for today."

"Isn’t it usually done at four months with an ultrasound to check if it’s a boy or girl?"

"No ultrasound." He replied, "Using other technology to determine the child’s gender, can be done after seven weeks."

Flora Palmer knew he wanted a boy, "If it’s a girl, will you not want it?"

"Of course, I will want it."

"Then there’s no need to do any checkup," Flora Palmer said, "For me, whether it’s a boy or a girl, it’s my child, there’s no need for it."

"I just want to know in advance." Arthur Bennett said casually, "It’s just a checkup anyway."

"Got it." Flora Palmer finished her milk and put down the cup, "I’ve finished eating, will get the checkup later."

She returned to her room, rinsed her mouth, changed clothes, and went for the checkup accompanied by Lewis.

On the way, she asked, "Lewis, will you go wherever I go in the future?"

"Yes."

"That’s good, as long as you’re with me wherever we are, I won’t feel so scared."

"While I’ll be with you, try not to rely too much on my presence." Lewis’s voice was calm, "There are too many unknowns, no one knows what may happen."

Flora Palmer paused slightly, then continued walking, saying no more.

After the checkup, Arthur Bennett came by, he was there to hear the results.

"It’s a boy."

Upon hearing this result, Arthur Bennett’s face showed joy, "Great."

Out of happiness, he held Flora Palmer in his arms, "Take good care of yourself, no room for any mishap."

Flora Palmer looked up, locking eyes with Lewis beside her.

Lewis quickly turned his eyes to another direction.

Arthur Bennett wanted to accompany her back home, but she gently refused, saying she wanted to walk on her own.

After walking a long distance, Lewis finally couldn’t help asking, "In your early pregnancy, you should rest more and avoid walking too much."

She then turned back, walking all the way to the bedroom door.

"You come in too."

Lewis followed her inside, closing the door.

As soon as they were inside, she hugged his waist.

"Let me hold you."

Lewis leaned against the door, "Miss..."

Flora Palmer’s hand intertwined with his, saying nothing.

"Miss, don’t do this." He tried to push her away, but she stayed put, "This feels so nice."

Lewis struggled inside, eventually pushing her away.

"I only want to be your bodyguard, anything else, I dare not think, cannot think. If Miss continues with this, then Lewis might have to break his promise to you."

Flora Palmer understood what he meant by breaking promises.

She sadly turned away, "You may leave."

"Your servant takes his leave."

Lewis opened the door and left, closing it softly. Flora Palmer sat on the sofa, feeling as empty as ever.

He only wants to be her bodyguard, implying he has no romantic feelings for her.

Moreover, she’s a married woman with another man’s child in her belly.

She can’t continue like this; it would only drive him away.

Make him dislike her.

"Accompany me to Ningham tonight." The first thing Elliot Gill said upon entering was this, "We need to attend an event."

"What kind of event?"

"An event where entrepreneurs gather, everyone brings their female companion, and I can’t be an exception; naturally, I have to bring the girl who’s my girlfriend in name." He said, heading to his room to change his clothes.

Entrepreneurs?

Jacob Green will definitely attend, right?

Her thoughts stirred, she went to his door to ask, "What time are we leaving?"

"You go change your clothes, once ready, we’ll set off."

"What should I wear? I don’t have any dresses here."

"It’s cool at night, don’t wear a skirt, it’ll cause a chill. Just wear something, it’s just an event."

Lucy Eaton flipped through the clothes in her closet, choosing a white shirt, black wide-leg pants, a white blazer as a coat, and high heels.

But she prepared a pair of flats, planning to switch after the event when back in the car.

They didn’t fly; instead, they drove on the highway.

Lucy Eaton slept all the way, woken by Elliot Gill when they reached Ningham.

"We’re here."

Lucy Eaton opened her eyes and glanced outside the car window, "It’s raining in Ningham."

"It’s a light rain, not heavy." Elliot Gill opened an umbrella and got out though the door, moving around the car to pick her up.

Under his umbrella, Lucy Eaton followed to the event entrance.

Needless to say, entrepreneur gatherings also vary in levels.

The entrepreneurs attending this event are those on the wealth list.

Not many people are there, but each one is wealthy.

From the moment they entered, many greeted Elliot Gill.

Lucy Eaton’s gaze scanned the crowd, searching for Jacob Green’s silhouette.

But she never saw it.

Could he not have come?

"Over there are female companions; you go over and chat with them." Elliot Gill gestured with his eyes, "I’ll be right here, don’t wander off, call me if anything comes up."
