Chapter 152: Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Terminate The Pregnancy If So Finished “There’s an unexpected situation at the office, I need to rush over there. I’ll be home tonight.” Justin’s voice echoed from the phone.

Listening to his voice, Nancy felt as if it was laced with a layer of ice, transmitting waves of coldness through the phone.

A wave of disappointment surged through Nancy.

With her eyes reddened, she asked, “Will you come back right after work tonight?”

For reasons unknown, she used to be able to act coquettishly without any inhibitions.

But lately, she felt as if an indiscernible fog had formed between her and Justin. She felt like he wasn’t valuing her as much as before.

“Yes, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head home after work.” Justin’s voice softened again.

It seemed as though returning home was something he found joy and anticipation in..

Nancy was tearfully upset, though she couldn’t understand why she had become so overly sensitive. Going on business trips was a normal part of life, as was returning to work at the company. There were other people around him; it was impossible for him to coddle her in hushed tones as he would at home.

“All right, I’ll wait for you to come home,” Nancy said softly.

After ending the call, she felt somewhat disoriented and found herself in the kitchen.

Watching the lavish breakfast she had eagerly prepared, she felt somewhat disoriented and lost.

She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Justin’s love for her seemed to have diminished, and it felt as if he was gradually distancing himself from her.

She thought of her cousin.

Suddenly, an unbelievable thought popped into her head. “Could it be that Justin is growing tired of me?”

It seemed like it had been a long time since the two of them had done that sort of thing.

For a couple who had only been married for about a year, wouldn’t it be a bit unusual if they hadn’t been intimate for a month or two?

Over the past couple of months, he indeed had been frequently away on business trips. However, he also spent a significant amount of time at home. Reflecting back, it seemed like every night, he would appear utterly exhausted and retire to bed early.

She had always been understanding, knowing that he had been swamped with work at the company recently. Therefore, she didn’t blame him for not being attentive to certain matters.

1/4 However, as soon as this thought surfaced, she dismissed it as impossible. She and Justin had known each other since childhood, and they understood each other very well.

Once upon a time, all sorts of big–name celebrities actively pursued him, but he wouldn’t even spare them a glance. His eyes were only for her.

Nancy pursed her lips and thought he must have just been too busy.

Inside the car, the driver subtly glanced at the back seat through the rear–view mirror.

Upon witnessing the passionate kiss between Justin and Gwendolyn, he let out a sigh in his heart.

Nancy was still completely in the dark.

He had personally witnessed the love between Justin and his wife. He knew that Justin doted on his wife immensely, and that she, in turn, was completely smitten with him. The depth of their affection for each other was something truly enviable.

However, they hadn’t been married for long, had they? How come Justin was already spending time alone with Gwendolyn?

If Nancy were to find out about this...

It would be too much for her to bear...

However, he was, after all, Justin’s driver, and his salary was essential for supporting his family. Therefore, whatever happened inside the car, he couldn’t share with anyone.

Gwendolyn was indeed the type that many men would find appealing. If she ventured into the entertainment industry, she would likely make a name for herself. She had been by Justin’s side for several years, and it wasn’t as if he hadn’t encountered women more beautiful than Gwendolyn vying for his attention. So why was it that Justin was inexplicably smitten this time?

“Let’s go to my place, shall we? I’ll personally prepare lunch for you. You haven’t tasted my cooking yet, have you?” Gwendolyn’s breath was slightly uneven, her voice carrying a playful and flirtatious tone.

Men would go wild over that voice of hers.

Justin furrowed his brows, but under Gwendolyn’s hopeful gaze, he still agreed. “Hmm.”

Upon seeing Justin’s agreement, Gwendolyn was overjoyed. She leaned over and planted a kiss on Justin’s lips. “I’ve never cooked for a man before, you’re the first! However, my cooking skills aren’t that great, so please don’t be too critical, okay?”

Justin watched Gwendolyn’s reliance on him, a certain heaviness in his eyes, as if someone was continuously telling him to love this woman.

Because she was worth it.

Their wild days in a foreign land had left traces of their joy in every corner of the hotel, each one Chapter 154 Terminate The Pregnancy If So However...

Justin furrowed his brows.

Gwendolyn gently raised her hand, lightly touching his furrowed brow. “Why are you frowning again?” she asked. “You know, frowning all the time can easily give you wrinkles!”

“It’s nothing.”

Gwendolyn She softly asked, “What if, one day, we have a child, what should we do?”

felt anxious Upon hearing the word “child“, Justin’s mind was suddenly filled with Nancy’s desire to have a child, their own child. Nancy’s desire for the child were, in fact, his desire as well.

Upon thinking of Nancy, there was a sudden shift in Justin’s expression.

“What’s wrong?” Gwendolyn noticed the sudden aloofness in Justin, causing a sharp twinge in her heart.

Justin’s eyes darkened, an icy aura enveloping him. “I’ve taken precautions, you won’t get pregnant,” he assured.

Upon hearing these words, a glint flickered in Gwendolyn’s eyes.

“Sometimes, even after taking precautions, unexpected incidents can still occur. Justin, if, I mean, if such an incident were to happen, should I keep it?”

Justin’s face was as cold as frost, without a hint of hesitation, he declared, “Get rid of it, I don’t want a child right now.”

Upon hearing these words, Gwendolyn bit her lips.

He doesn’t want children... How heartless.

No matter what approach she used, he remained unyielding and heartless. Could it be that he truly only wanted Nancy to bear his child?

It was clear that Nancy simply couldn’t compare to her in any aspect.

Upon hearing Justin’s words, the driver was not surprised.

Although Justin and Gwendolyn were entangled with each other, from his perspective, Justin merely treated Gwendolyn as a plaything.

Gwendolyn bit her lip, seemingly obedient as she responded, “All right, I understand. I know you want to spend more time alone with me.”

She was confident that, with her tactics, there would come a day when Justin would eventually stop caring about Nancy.

Aurelia had been busy all day, so engrossed in her work that she lost track of time by noon.

Chapter 154 Terminate The Pregnancy If So Finished By the time she felt exhausted enough to take a break and visit the restroom, she realized that her shift was almost over.

After stretching lazily, she returned to her workspace and wrapped up her work.

And then, she prepared to get off work.

When the workday ended, she ran into Norman and Chad.

When Chad saw Aurelia, he was somewhat at a loss. “Aurelia.”

“How’s your leg recovery coming along?” Aurelia asked with a smile, her gaze then shifted toward Chad’s leg.

Chad immediately took a couple of steps, turning in a circle for Aurelia to see. “I’m mostly recovered. I just can’t walk fast, but I can manage a slow pace. Are you getting used to working here? If my grandfather has assigned you a lot of work, you can go on strike.”

Norman turned around and tapped Chad on the head. “What nonsense are you spouting? Do I seem like the kind of person who would exploit his employees?”

Rubbing his head while wincing in pain, Chad exclaimed, “Are you trying to knock me senseless, Grandpa?”

Watching Chad bickering with Norman, Aurelia chuckled. “I really enjoy working here, everything I do is something I love.”
