She froze slightly. âWhat does that mean?â
20 minutes later, Valda Theller figured out what it meant.
Staring at the two female bodyguards, Valda Theller looked at Brian in disbelief. âAre you locking me up?â
âYouâll be staying in the mansion. Theyâll be looking after you, so donât try to escape. Donât secretly take any medicine either. Iâll set you free if youâre not pregnant in a month. If youâre pregnantâ¦â His voice stopped as he stared at her with his dark phoenix eyes. âYouâll give birth to the baby!â
She was shocked. She knew Brian was not joking!
However, the problem was⦠âWeâve broken up. Why do you want me to give birth to the baby?â
âBecause you love me!â he said.
Valda Theller was speechless. Then, she showed a hurt look on her face. âBrian, you bastard!â She suddenly shouted at him.
It was the first time she had called him names since they met. She had not even said anything bad to him when they broke, yet she was now calling him names!
He turned to say to the two female bodyguards. âLook after her. Forget about having an easy life if anything happens to her.â
The two bodyguards quickly replied in acknowledgment.
Brian then hurried away as if he was fleeing from something.
Walking out of the house, he got into his car and leaned heavily against his seat.
He did not mean to hurt her, but he did.
Her love for him seemed to be all he had left.
He had never liked children, but maybe the baby would bring them back together if she was indeed pregnant.
He knew he had acted impulsively and selfishly today, but he just could not get her to cut off the last possibility between him and her.
âWhat the hell is wrong with me? Since when did I care so much about Valda Theller?â
Shaking his head, Brian straightened up, started the car, and sped away from the mansion.
Valda Theller and the two bodyguards looked at each other in the mansion.
Valda Theller did not expect Brian to lock her up in the mansion and assign two bodyguards to her, She took out her phone after some consideration.
One of the bodyguards said, âMiss Theller, itâll be pointless to call the police. With Mr. Hartâs influence, he can keep you here in many ways.â
Valda Theller knew that! âIâm not calling the police. Iâm only calling my friend to tell her my work arrangement and where Iâve gone. Otherwise, sheâll be worried.â
With that, she called Camille Strickland.
âCamille, Iâll be staying at Brianâs mansion for the time being, and I wonât be going to the studio either. Call me or email me if you have anything work-related to tell me. Iâll email you the comic manuscript.â
âYouâre staying at Brianâs mansion?â Camille Strickland was shocked. âDidnât you guys break up?â
âYes, but something came up, so⦠Uh⦠Anyway, I might have to stay over there for a while and take care of things,â Valda Theller said vaguely.
Camille Strickland was confused. What else did sh need to take care of after breaking up?
