Chapter 971: Run away with you and the child Chapter 971: Run away with you and the child On the second day, Victoria Garcia went to work as usual, with Arnold Johnson driving her.
In the car, Arnold Johnson’s expression was sowhat somber today.
Victoria’s gaze remained outside the window, sowhat distant in thought.
Since her eting with Allen yesterday, Victoria had been preoccupied with thoughts that Arnold Johnson was unaware of, as she hadn’t shared the details of their conversation with him.
However, Victoria started to touch her belly more frequently, a tender gesture that ward the heart.
“Victoria, what are you thinking about?” Arnold Johnson asked softly.
Victoria heard him calling her and turned slightly, smiling at him, “Nothing much, just feeling that ti is flying by quickly.”
“Yes, a day passes by in the blink of an eye,” Arnold Johnson agreed, continuing, “In another six months, our little baby will be coming out.”
Indeed, her little baby was about to co out!
What a wonderful feeling!
Victoria’s gentle eyes rested on her belly, and suddenly, she felt a slight movent inside, as if bubbling, which made her overjoyed, “He’s moving in my belly, my baby can move now.”
But when she tried to feel it with her hand, the little mischief-maker inside her belly stopped moving all of a sudden.
“Really, he can move now, that’s wonderful!” Arnold Johnson’s face also showed joy.
Seeing Victoria’s tender and happy expression, he knew his decision had been right, even though that decision posed a great hidden danger in his life.
Looking at Arnold Johnson, Victoria said with a smile, “Paul, thank you!”
No matter what the true nature of the situation was, on the day she was about to enter the operating room, he had revealed the truth about the child to her.
Yes, Arnold Johnson told her that her child was healthy, asking her not to inquire the reasons, just to go along with a charade pretending the pregnancy was lost, which would allow her to give up on Arnold Johnson and also buy him so ti.
Afterward, she had been in shock; what was all this about?
She had asked Arnold Johnson, but he hadn’t given her an answer, only saying the ti wasn’t right but when it was, he would naturally tell her.
In the following days, Victoria focused all her attention on her baby; plus, the early pregnancy nausea had been worse than death. Thankfully, everything improved after the first three months.
Hearing her thanks, Arnold Johnson asked, “What if I said I want to elope with you and our child, would you co with ?”
“…”
Elope? That sort of thing was more suited to Ancient Tis, wasn’t it?
Quickly recovering, Victoria realized that if Arnold Johnson was talking about elopent, could it an he was currently in danger?
“Paul, why would you say sothing like that? Is soone forcing you?” Victoria probed.
Arnold Johnson silently drove for a while before speaking, “No one is forcing . I just want to move to a place with you where we can live without disturbance —just you, , and the child. We can have a happy ho and watch our baby grow up together.”
“You should actually know that I can’t let go of everything here. I’ve never once thought of disappearing from this city because it has the people I love, my sister I need to take care of, my search for Harriet continues, and there’s the company…” Victoria said with a bitter smile, “There’s too much I can’t leave behind.”
Such an answer was very clear.
