Chapter 357: Chapter 357

Chapter 357 The housekeeper passed Pamela a small box. “I swept this out from under the bed while I was cleaning Mr. Lopez and Ms.

Jessica’s room. It seems to be a medicine box.”

Although the housekeeper could not understand the Anglandurn words on the box, she could smell the faint scent of medicine from it Pamela swiftly took the box. To her, understanding the Anglandurn words on the box was a piece of cake. Right after she took one glance, her face lit up. “Oh, this is folic acid!”

“What kind of medicine is that, Mrs. Lopez?” the housekeeper inquired curiously “It’s something women eat when they’re pregnant. No wonder Pamela looked so shy when I spoke to her earlier. It turns out that she’s pregnant!” Pamela exclaimed, feeling so excited that she stammered over her words At the same time, she was also frustrated.

Why didn’t they tell me about her pregnancy? If the housekeeper hadn’t come across this while she was cleaning, who knows how much longer those two are going to keep me in the dark?

Right away, she grabbed her phone and called Wyatt.

Wyatt picked up the phone almost instantly. “Mom, I’m on my way to a meeting. Why did you call?”

“You brat! Are you going to keep acting?” Pamela yelled, though her voice was laced with joy. “I didn’t know Jessica was pregnant! How could you keep such major news from me?”

“What pregnant... Wyatt could not seem to wrap his head around what was going on.

It was only after Pamela repeated her statement that he processed her words. A curse escaped his mouth as he said in bewilderment, “Really? She’s pregnant?”

“You two sleep in one room every night, yet you don’t know that she’s pregnant?”

“I really had no idea. She didn’t tell me.”

“That means you’re not concerned enough about her,” Pamela chided. “How did such a wonderful girl like Jessica fall for you?

You’re not only inattentive but also a playboy!”

“Mom, I’m your son!” Wyatt protested. He was feeling at a total loss about the news of Jessica’s pregnancy. “I’m going home right now. I’m going to Faymon Group to fetch her... I’m going to be a father!”

Pamela had calmed down by then, and she advised, “I think Pamela kept the news from you so she could give you a surprise on your birthday. If you go to her now and tell her you’ve found out, her efforts will go to waste. Stay in your office and fetch her after work. Don’t give yourself away. Do you understand?”

Wyatt pondered for a while and thought that Pamela was right. He then said, “Then Mom, I’ll be heading to my meeting now, okay?”

“Meetings, meetings, meetings! That’s all you ever think about!”

Before Wyatt could respond, the call was cut off.

He stared at his phone, feeling helpless. Wasn’t she the one who told me not to do anything for now?

At the thought that he would soon become a father, Wyatt was pumped. How he wished that time could go. faster so he could bring Jessica home, celebrate his birthday with her, and wait for her to tell him the news. herself.

Chapter 357 Wyatt then asked someone to buy tons of wedding favors to distribute to all the company’s employees. During the meeting, he couldn’t even hide his radiant smile, confusing the senior executives.

When the wedding favors finally reached the conference room, an executive asked tentatively, “Mr. Lopez, are you getting married?”

Wyatt raised his brow. “No.”

“Then why are you giving away wedding favors...” another executive chimed in.

“My wife is pregnant, so I want to share the joy!” Wyatt announced exuberantly.

Everyone gasped at the same time.

What? When did Mr. Lopez get a wife? How come we didn’t know? There used to be a young woman who came here all the time to bring him lunch, but no one knows what she looks like or who she is because she always wears a mask. Could it be her?

“Congratulations, Mr. Lopez!”

Wyatt nodded and cast a glance at the unmarried executives. With a serious expression, he began, “You guys should take some time out of work to go on blind dates or something. You’re all in your late twenties, yet none of you are married! Don’t you feel embarrassed of yourselves? In a few months, my baby will be born already!”

The executives were rendered speechless by his impromptu lecture.

Meanwhile, Jessica had no idea that Pamela and Wyatt had already found out about her pregnancy.

When she received Rayna’s account details, she excused herself from work and headed to the bank. After lining up for some time, she finally transferred three hundred thousand to Rayna’s account.

Some time later, Rayna called her. “I’m withdrawing now. Sorry for troubling you, Jessie.”

“I told you to stop saying things like that, Jessica huffed. “I took time off from work in the afternoon. I’ll be visiting Kristie.”

“Okay”

Jessica tightened her grip on the phone and hesitated for a while. Finally, she said, “Nana, I’m pregnant.”

“What?” Rayna froze in shock. Certain that she did not hear it wrong, she asked, “Is this really what you want, or are you doing this to take revenge on Wyatt?”

Jessica pursed her lips and answered softly, “I did want to get pregnant to get back at him, but now that I’m really pregnant, I feel that the life in my womb is not something that comes by easily. Besides...”

“I get it.” Rayna sounded relieved. “Jessie, Gerald is already dead. It’s time that you live your life for yourself. We can all see that Wyatt loves you very much.”

Jessica stroked her stomach. “I know. Today is his twenty–seventh birthday.”

“So you’re planning to give him a birthday surprise!” Rayna chuckled. “Since I can’t go back there, I’ll have to ask you to greet him on my behalf.”

“Do you think he’ll like this child?”

Rayna was amused at Jessica’s question. “You silly girl, you’re worrying too much. Wyatt is an only child, so he’ll want a big family of his own. I’m sure he will love you and the baby. They say that bables grow to be like Chapter 357 the first person they see upon coming into the world. Jessie, you have to wait for me to return. I will be there when you give birth so that your baby will be good–looking”

Jessica couldn’t help but chuckle. “All right. I’ll give birth to the baby after.

you return.”

Upon hanging up, she waved down a taxi by the road. As she was unsure whether Kristie was in her condominium, she decided to phone her first.

However, the call went unanswered.

Jessica gave it a thought and proceeded to dial James‘ number.

In no time, he picked up the call. “Hey, what’s up?”

“Hi, I’m going to visit Kristie, but she’s not answering her phone. I’m just wondering if you guys are together.”

“No. I came to the capital last night. I talked to her an hour ago, and she mentioned she’s not filming for a few days. I guess she’s either in the condominium or my mom’s shop.”

“Okay. I’ll go and take a look.”

An uneasy feeling rose within Jessica when she recalled how Kristie had asked Wyatt for Rayna’s address.

She went to Kristie’s condominium first, but no one opened the door even after countless knocks. Then she headed to Linda’s store.

Linda put down her task at hand and said to Jessica, “She stopped by in the morning to help and said she bought a plane ticket.

She claimed she’ll be going abroad to bring Belle home.”

Jessica’s face turned pale. “She really said that? This is bad”

“Why? Did anything happen to Belle?” Linda hurriedly asked.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Linda. Everything is okay. I’ll be heading off first!” With that, Jessica left quickly and called Rayna.

I didn’t expect Kristie to be so bold as to go to Frosa to look for Rayna! I have to tell Rayna right now.

In her haste, Jessica accidentally bumped into someone passing by. She uttered an apology and walked away, but when the woman caught a glimpse of her face, she strode over in her high heels..

“Ms. Marsh, let’s have a talk.”

Jessica turned around impatiently. At the sight of the woman, she paused in her tracks.
