“What do you ‘have to do’? Do you want me to have an abortion?” Garrett looked at her quietly and suddenly broke into a wide grin.
He hadn’t told Laney that on the way here, he had already decided on the names of the children.
Yes, children.
He hoped that Laney was carrying twins, even though there were never any twins in his family tree.
“Don’t say that, Laney.
I’ve never considered you or our unborn child a burden.
| would never ask you to have an abortion.
What | meant was that we can face this together.” Garrett spoke sincerely.
He seemed to want to say something more but stopped on a second thought.
After thinking about it for a while, he eventually decided to say it.
“You like me, right? And I like you.
So why can’t we be together? How would we know that we’re a bad fit if we don’t even try? Besides, we’re having a child together.
It wasn’t in our plans, but it was God’s will.
Do you really want to kill it?” Laney fell silent.
She was having all sorts of feelings right now.
Could they really be together? She already had enough problems on her place.
And now, a baby? Laney suddenly felt that nothing she did would be the right decision.
Seeing the cogs in her brain turning, Garrett knew that she was hesitating.
“Since you haven’t decided yet, why don’t you come home with me first? Let’s take baby steps.
You’re alone in a strange land; how will you take good care of yourself and the baby?” Laney was still silent, at a loss as to what to do.
“Laney, I’m serious. If someday you really feel that you can’t live with me, then I’ll respect your choice and walk out of your life forever.
But before that, can we at least give us a try?” Garrett sighed.
How stubborn she was! He had said everything he could, yet he still couldn’t get to her.
Laney kept silent for what seemed like an eternity.
Finally, she nodded slowly.
Seeing this, Garrett was so ecstatic that he leaped up from the bed at once and jumped up and down happily, and then he pulled her up and held her tightly in his arms.
Before she could protest, he kissed her madly.
Heart racing, he soon began to pack up her things excitedly.
“Just rest. I’ll take care of everything. We’re going home!”
A Whole New Journey The very next day, Garrett and Laney flew back to Barnes.
Now that she was back, Laney asked Natalie if they could meet up.
The two reserved a table at the Beasley Restaurant.
“You’re only been gone a few weeks but I missed you so much!” Natalie threw her arms around Laney excitedly.
“Promise me you Won’t leave again, okey? You’re pregnant now.
Garrett will definitely follow you to the ends of the earth from now onl!” Even after Laney left, she had kept in touch with Natalie.
Before she flew back to Barnes, she had told Natalie the news about her pregnancy.
“Stop teasing me, Natalie.
I’m scared out of my wits.” Laney pouted anxiously.
“The baby is all part of God’s plan.
Now that it’s here, just love it with all your heart and leave the rest to Garrett.
I’m sure he’s really happy about the baby.” Life was unpredictable at times.
Laney and Garrett had already parted ways, but now, the baby had once again brought them together.
They were just meant to be together! “If there’s anything I can help you with, just tell me.
Don’t worry about anything else.
I just know that things will work out between you two.” Natalie patted Laney’s hand, wishing her happiness.
Laney smiled bitterly.
“I doubt it.
I’m sorry, but I can’t help but feel like the world is about to end.
I’ve never felt like this before.
If only someone could tell me where this road will take me.” Laney sighed heavily.
The future felt so uncertain and daunting, and it scared her.
Noticing the restless look on Laney’s face, Natalie held her hand tightly.
“Don’t try to leave again.
You’re looking out for another human being now, not just yourself.” “Don’t worry.
I’ve made up my mind and I’ve decided to give me and Garrett a shot.
For the sake of the baby,” Laney patted her tummy gently and smiled.
“Have I ever told you that you are one brave woman?” Natalie smiled.
Laney rolled her eyes and chuckled.
That day, Laney moved into Garrett’s house.
“I haven’t changed anything in your room since you left.
You can stay there if you like.
Also, I’ve hired two nutritionists, both of which have worked in Michelin-starred restaurants before.
They’ll be here by tomorrow.” Garrett hugged Laney from behind, gently placing his hands on her belly.
Pecking her on the cheek, he whispered, “I promise I’ll be a good husband and a fantastic father.” Laney pursed her lips and looked down at his hands on her belly.
Then she turned to look at him and mumbled, “What if I can’t handle the pressure and chicken out? Will you hate me?” “Don’t be silly.” Garrett held her tightly, planting several more kisses on her neck and shoulder.
Laney didn’t say anything more.
Strangely enough, although she had lived in this house before, this time, she felt as if she had embarked on a whole new journey.
But nonetheless, she looked towards the uncertain future with fierce determination.
Caught In the Klein family home, Tasha had secretly been keeping watch on Seth these days.
Every night, he was always on his laptop in his study.
Tasha also noticed that he would routinely take a shower at night, leaving the door to the study unlocked and unguarded.
Generally, his showers lasted about twenty minutes.
Seeing Tasha loitering at the door of Seth’s study one night, Julia thought that Tasha refused to give up on him.
She walked over angrily and pulled Tasha to the stairs.
“What’re you doing outside Seth’s study? You’re nothing but an ugly pregnant woman and Seth doesn’t like you anymore! Even if you take off all your clothes and stand in front of him naked, he won’t be interested in you!” Julia spat arrogantly, crossing her arms over her chest.
“Relax. I just happened to pass by the study.” Tasha didn’t want to argue with Julia nor did she want to arouse Seth’s suspicion.
Glancing at Julia’s flat chest, she smiled haughtily.
“Didn’t Seth tell you that he likes big boobs?” Julia subconsciously glanced at her own flat chest.
Only then did she realize that Seth seldom ever touched her chest in bed.
Thinking of this, her face turned red in both anger and embarrassment.
Tasha let out a chuckle and left.
After retreating to her room, Tasha texted Sebastian to inquire how long it’d take to copy the data on Seth’s laptop.
Sebastian confirmed that as long as there wasn’t too much data in the computer, twenty minutes was ample time.
Even if she unplugged the flash drive before copying everything, the part of the data that had been copied would still be left in the flash drive.
Most importantly, there would be no trace of the hacking left on the computer.
Tasha was relieved to hear this.
