Teresa hesitated, frustration bubbling over “What? When did we even sleep together? It was just a few days ago, during l
company’s press conference How could I be pregnant already? My period hasn’t even started yet p>
Jonathan frowned slightly “Let’s go to the hospital and get it checked”
“No way.” Teresa snapped
“I
She yanked her hand away from his grasp, her frustration evident. I already told you I’m not pregnant. What more do you want? I don’t even like traditional medicine, but I came here because of you. What else do you expect p>
Jonathan narrowed his eyes, staring at her for a few seconds. “We’ll talk about this when we get back to Nareigh p>
If she’s pregnant, I won’t let anything happen to this baby. It’s my child, whom I have waited so long for he wondered
Meanwhile, back in Nareigh, Teresa wasn’t the only one feeling unsettled. Jennifer’s thoughts were equally chaotic
Yesterday was Donald’s birthday Jennifer, having promised Cheryl to help celebrate, bought a chocolate cake after work. Cheryl had mentioned it was Donald’s favorite flavor,
Cheryl had also arranged for a bouquet of flowers, asking Jennifer to deliver them to Donald Jennifer complied without hesitation.
And so, holding the bouquet and carrying the cake, Jennifer appeared before Donald, who had been planning to head home for dinner. The moment she saw him, she changed her plans.
“Let me treat you to dinner, Jennifer offered, recalling Cheryl’s words about how Donald had been feeling insecure because
of her
“Sure,” Donald agreed, his mood visibly lifted. They went to a fine dining restaurant together.
Jennifer, unfamiliar with such upscale places, felt a bit out of place. Donald, however, was attentive throughout, treating her with gentlemanly care and even pouring her a glass of red wine.
“Thanks for being here, Jennifer. This birthday wouldn’t have been the same without you,” Donald said, raising his glass.
They clinked glasses, and Jennifer took a small sip of wine. The aroma of the red wine seemed to linger, warming her cheeks and quickening her heartbeat.
By the time they left the restaurant, Jennifer was slightly tipsy. As they descended the steps, she stumbled lightly, and Donald quickly steadied her by the arm, his concern evident. “Are you okay?” he asked
Their eyes met, and a spark seemed to pass between them, leaving her breathless. Jennifer licked her dry lips and shook her head, gently pushing his hand away.
“Happy birthday,” she said softly. With those words, she turned to leave in a hurry.
But before she could take another step, Donald grabbed her arm, pulling her into his embrace. In the dimly lit parking lot, he couldn’t hold back any longer and leaned down to kiss her
It was Jennifer’s first kiss. Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the face so close to hers.
Donald tasted the sweet hint of red wine on her lips and deepened the kiss. Jennifer, snapping back to her senses, pushed him away with all her strength and fled the scene in a panic.
That kiss had thrown her already restless heart into complete disarray. Even this morning, Jennifer still didn’t know how she would face Donald in the future.
Jennifer was in a complete panic when Cheryl reached out to her, sending over a photo. After seeing Benny in the picture, Jennifer quickly typed out a reply
Benny’s already at the Lynn residence? Jonathan wouldn’t hand over the hair, so Benny has to go there himself? Typical Jennifer wondered
At the Lynn residence, Irene and Cheryl were both at home. Benny greeted Irene as he walked in.
Irene introduced them with a smile. “Benny, this is Cheryl, Jonathan’s cousin.
Benny’s gaze briefly landed on Cheryl, who wa
ked and said, “Oh, you’re Donald’s sister, right?
Jonathan mentioned you before. First time me

Cheryl’s cheeks turned red as she replied shyly, “You’re really handsome, Benny. ”
Benny chuckled, his tone light and playful. But remembering why he was there, he quickly turned to Irene and said p>
Jonathan asked me to grab something from his room. He said he left a file here p>
