Chapter 24
Her friend, Henry Langley, also followed her daughter. “Why did you come back so early? Didn’t you see the WeChat message I sent you?”
“My phone is switched off.”
She smiled and picked up her daughter. “Is Little Grapefruit and Nannan good?”
“Of course, be good. Little Grapefruit has also learned a lot of super–powerful martial arts from her godmother. When I go back to the mountains, I will defeat the Grand Master.”
The little girl’s sweet voice was a little arrogant, and she could only hug her short arm around her chest. Her appearance as a kid made Mae and Henry laugh.
“Look at you, Sandra. You’re sweating all over. Mummy will take you to take a shower and then sleep obediently. Tomorrow, you will continue to learn martial arts from Godmother Nannan.”
“Good.”
The little girl obediently nodded and was carried by Mae to take a shower.
After bathing her daughter and coaxing her to sleep, Mae came out of her daughter’s room.
“How’s it going? Have you talked to that CEO yet?”
Henry asked her.
“We had a preliminary chat. Aaron Foster was also very interested in the concept I proposed. It’s a
bit late now. I’ll make an appointment with him tomorrow to discuss it in detail.”
He could tell that there was a hint of exhaustion and depression in Mae’s plain tone.
“It’s all right. Now that medicine is so advanced, Sandra will be fine.”
Henry patted Mae’s shoulder and comforted her.
Mae twitched the corner of her mouth and said nothing.
“Have you told Mark about this?”
Henry asked.
The smile at the corner of Mae’s mouth became lighter.
“I don’t need him to know. Sandra belongs to me alone and has nothing to do with Mark.”
Her voice was like the look in her eyes. When she mentioned Mark, her warmth instantly disappeared.
Henry knew that she did not want to mention Mark, so he did not say anything anymore.
“You’ve been tired all day. Go take a shower and get a good night’s sleep.”
“All right.”
After returning to her room, Mae took a shower and charged her phone.
The nerves that had been sleepy at first became extraordinarily awake in the night.
The image of Mark standing up for Jennifer and nervously pulling Jennifer into his arms could not stop in her mind.
14.56
She knew that Jennifer was pregnant.
When she grabbed Jennifer’s wrist and flicked her away, she could sense her pulse.
She was more than a month pregnant, so it was no wonder that Mark was so nervous.
She thought that if Jennifer had fallen to the ground, Mark would have eaten her heart.
Thinking of this, a palpitating pain suddenly spread from her heart, swelling like a vine soaked in
venom.
Mark, after four years, could still make her suffer.
In her previous life, she had asked him why she had to abort their child. He told her that he did not like children.
At that time, his expression was so calm, rational, and almost heartless, making her believe that
Mark did not like children.
Only now did she understand that it was not that he did not like children, but that he simply did not like children with her.
He must have been anxious because Jennifer was pregnant. How could he not be?
The more she thought about it, the more Mae felt that her previous life was stupid and ridiculous.
Her white palms covered her eyes. Her laughter trembled. It sounded too sad at night.
