CHAPTER 71: MY WIFE WORKS OVERTIME AND I’M WAITING FOR HER

Halle didn’t want to talk about her pregnancy, but Hilla couldn’t ignore it.

"Halle, you and Titus have been divorced for more than four months. Who is the child’s father?"

"It has nothing to do with Titus. From the day I left the Tyson’s, I didn’t want to be involved with the Tysons anymore. He isn’t this child’s father."

They had been married for five years, but they didn’t have a child. For five years, Titus didn’t sleep with Halle. How could there be any more involvement between them after their divorce?

Halle’s attitude made Hilla believe that this child had nothing to do with Titus.

Instead of feeling relieved, Hilla was more worried.

"Halle, who is the father of this child? Do you love each other?" Hilla asked carefully and observed the expression on Halle’s face.

Halle raised her head and smiled at Hilla, saying, "I’m pregnant after a one-night stand. I do not know who his father is."

A one-night stand? She knew about Halle very much. How could Halle do such a dramatic thing!

"Halle, you..."

"This child is my own. In this world, other than you, I’ll have another blood-related relative. Hilla, please don’t mention my pregnancy to the Andersons, and don’t mention it to Bruce either. Anyway, I only live in the Anderson’s for a few days and will leave after Christmas. They won’t know."

The more Halle said it casually, the more Hilla felt Halle had made up her mind.

Although Halle looked gentle and weak, no one could change her decision after she was determined.

Therefore, when Halle wanted to divorce Titus, Hilla knew very well that Halle was determined, but this child came too suddenly.

Halle and Titus hadn’t given birth to a baby after they were married for five years. How could she get pregnant with a strange man after a one-night stand?

Even if Hilla was married, she couldn’t figure it out.

She thought it would only happen on TV and the Internet, but she didn’t expect that Halle would do such a dramatic thing one day.

"Halle, are you really going to give birth to this baby? How are you going to take care of him alone?"

Although she did not have a child, nor did she take care of a child, she knew that it was a very complicated long-term process to give birth to a child. None of them had experienced it. And no one could guarantee that they could take care of a baby.

When Halle was touching her belly, she seemed to be shining with the radiance and gentleness of a loving mother.

Looking at her smile and the gentleness in her eyes when Halle mentioned the baby, Hilla realized that everything was true. Halle indeed wanted to give birth to this child.

"Ever since I found out that I’m pregnant, I have been grateful to God more than once. Although the baby came a little late, and although it was a little unexpected, in the five years, I looked forward to it. To have a child, I even forced myself to take some disgusting medicine."

"Halle, you’ve been wronged in the Tyson’s."

"That’s right. I was wronged in those years in the Tyson’s, but at that time, I didn’t think so. I thought I would be able to bear a child if I worked hard."

But it was in vain. No matter how well she recuperated her body, if Titus didn’t sleep with her, she couldn’t be pregnant.

The warmth in Halle’s eyes gradually dissipated. Her eyes were full of coldness and hate.

She hated the Tysons, Titus, and herself. Five years of youth and sincerity she gave a man who was not worth it.

"But, how are you going to take care of the baby alone?"

Hilla knew Halle the best, so she was more worried. Halle was too gentle, but once she made up her mind, no one could change her decision.

She could not change Halle’s decision!

She was only worried that Halle, a young single woman, couldn’t take care of a newborn child and the factory at the same time.

"Don’t worry. Since I decided to give birth to him, I will be responsible for him." "But the child is born without a father. It is too pitiful." Hilla pursed her lips and looked at Halle’s belly.

Although the child was not in her body, Hilla seemed to sense this baby. She was also somewhat happy and expectant.

This was Halle’s child. Perhaps it was because the baby and she are of the same blood, Hilla wondered if the baby would also look like her after he was born.

"Since he came to this world because of me, it is also unfair to abandon him now. Although he will be born without a father, I will love him with everything I have."

If she had an abortion now, it would be unfair to the baby.

"You are not alone. I’ll also love him very much."

Hilla smiled and looked at Halle’s belly full of curiosity, saying, "Halle, can he move

now? Will he kick you?"

"I’ve only been pregnant for more than a month, and the baby’s limbs haven’t even grown well."

Although Halle had told her everything, Hilla was still worried. She took Halle to do the prenatal checkup and set up a file. After making sure that the baby was well, Hilla was relieved.

On the way back, she had started to think about what gift to prepare for the baby?

"Halle, the doctor said that you would give birth to the baby in August. Wouldn’t it be very hot then? The baby can be naked without clothes."

Thinking of a cute naked baby lying in front of her, Hilla trembled with excitement.

Halle quickly said, "Drive carefully. Don’t think too much. Remember not to tell anyone about my pregnancy. Also, I will return to the countryside after Christmas. The factory can start working after Christmas."

"But..."

"Don’t worry. You have given me so much money. Money talks. Besides, I live in the countryside. The villagers will take good care of me if I give them enough money."

"I’m pregnant, so I won’t let myself suffer. I will have a healthy diet and take good care of myself. Before I give birth, I need you to pick me up to the hospital."

Hilla didn’t expect that Halle had done so many things. It was obvious that she had prepared everything after she found out that she was pregnant. She was meticulous and serious. Halle was so simple that anyone could hurt her when she was brought out of the Tyson’s. But now, she was different.

"No, I have to pick you up for the pregnancy check-ups every month."

Hilla smiled. Since Halle had decided to give birth to this child, then she would protect this child with Halle!

...

After Hilla took Halle back to the Anderson’s, she went to the Anderson Group to work with Bruce as usual.

Christmas was coming, so the company was very busy. There were all kinds of business reports and year-end summaries to deal with. As an assistant, Hilla was very busy. She helped Bruce so much as soon as she came to the Anderson Group. She had to work hard every day, and work overtime.

As soon as she saw the report and the folder, she had a headache.

"I’ll help you!"

Half of the papers had been removed from Hilla’s desk by Rigel, and Hilla was so grateful that she almost cried.

Rigel was really a good person!

"Hilla, the company’s annual meeting is coming. Who are you going to dance with?"

The designer next to Hilla shook her and asked. The middle-aged designer behind Hilla said, "Hilla, what about dancing with me at that time?"

Cornell pointed at himself. He was a middle-aged man who was bald.

Although he had earned a place in the Design Department of the Anderson Group over the years, it was a pity that time was rushing. The handsome man had become a middle-aged man, and Cornell was no longer as handsome as before.

Hilla knew that Cornell was joking with her, so she tilted her head and said, "No. I have a partner."

"Let me guess, is your partner Rigel? He only looks handsome!"

"At such a young age, he might not be good at dancing."

Cornell had been sitting in the office to draw for a long time, and with the lack of maintenance, his figure had long been out of shape.

However, Cornell was the most humorous person in their department.

Cornell held his chin and staring at Rigel, he had a horny face, but he felt that he was very cool.

Hilla lowered her head and smiled. She looked at the documents in her hands carefully and placed some documents on the other side to make it easier for her to copy them later.

Rigel lowered his head and pretended to tidy up the documents. As for the words of the people behind him, he seemed to have heard them and gave a smile.

To prevent herself from missing out on Bruce’s message like last time, Hilla placed her phone on the top of her head. When the screen lit up, she was able to see the

message immediately.

As expected, Hilla’s phone lit up when she was one minute away from getting off work.

Almost instantly, she held the phone in her arms. After quickly looking at the information on the screen, she couldn’t help but stare at the time on the phone. She began to countdown!

It was time to get off work. Hilla picked up her bag happily and ran out. The colleague behind Hilla stopped her, "What are you going to do?"

"It’s time to get off work!"

"Can’t you see that we’re all working overtime? You’re just an assistant. Go back and work overtime. There are so many things to do near Christmas. It’s good enough not to let you work until dawn. You still want to get off work on time."

Amy was Hilla’s immediate superior, and she was in charge of managing these assistants. And Amy was a woman, a beautiful and elegant woman.

In the Design Department, both Amy and Hilla were beautiful. Therefore, Amy disliked Hilla.

"I have been working overtime for a week in a row. I want to leave on time for one day..."

"We all are working overtime for more than ten days in a row. Why are you complaining so much?"

Amy was a conceited woman. Other than not liking to take selfies, she did not like to hear the gossips of her colleagues. Naturally, Amy did not know Hilla’s identity. Therefore, she arranged a lot of work for Hilla.

Hilla pursed her lips in grievance and could only sit back down. She opened the folder on the table and threw it on the table with a wail.

She felt she was unlucky!

"Give it to me if you can’t finish."

Rigel’s slender fingers stopped in mid-air. His beautiful palm was so fair that it seemed to be glowing under the light.

At first glance, Hilla felt that this hand was so beautiful, and now she still thought so. She wanted to grab it and touch it!

"Rigel, your hand is so nice."

Rigel was stunned and blushed. A trace of emotion flashed through his eyes. He stretched out his hand and said, "Bring me all the documents. I’ll make it for you."

Hilla wanted to nod and agree, but when her gaze fell on the documents on his desk that were even higher than hers, she was shocked.

She shook her head and said, "This is my own business. I’ll do it myself. Besides,

doing this will help me accumulate my experience."

"You are not a professional. You will be slower in doing these things."

Rigel came forward, wanting to take away the documents on the table, but Hilla quickly stopped him, "It’s precisely because I don’t know about it that I should learn more. Rigel, don’t take too much care of me. I can do it myself. If there really is something I don’t know, I’ll ask you for help."

The reason why she said that was because she felt that Rigel’s workload was almost twice that of her. No matter how fast he was, it was impossible for him to finish it before her.

A smile flashed across Rigel’s handsome face for a moment. He looked at Hilla with his burning eyes.

"Then you can do it slowly. When I finish it, I will come over to help you."

"Okay. Thank you, Rigel."

Hilla thought, "Don’t joke around. I must have done it before you. You don’t mean to imply that I have to help you after I finish my work, right?"

My God! Rigel was indeed cunning.

Hilla hid at the corner of the table and sent a message to Bruce with her phone.

Soon, Bruce, who was about to get off work, came back. James asked, "Don’t you say to go home early today?"

Christmas was coming. Many projects and preparations for the next year had been issued in the company. There was nothing to be busy with. As long as the next week’s annual meeting was over, everyone would be on holiday.

Bruce got up from the wheelchair and walked gracefully to his desk, saying, "My wife has to work overtime. I’ll wait for her!"

Bruce was married and he kept rubbing it in James’ face.

James looked at Bruce and said, "Then should I tell Mrs. Anderson’s leader to let her get off work early?"

"There’s no need. Anyway, she has to stay with her sister when she gets back. I’ll wait for her to finish her work."

As he spoke, Bruce had turned on the computer in front of him. He clicked the mouse and quickly found the Anderson Group’s surveillance footage.

In the hundreds of pictures, Bruce accurately clicked on a small picture frame with the mouse.

The picture instantly zoomed in, and Bruce quickly saw Hilla who was wearing a long face and resting her chin in her hands!
