The Billionaire Stands Up for Me Chapter 138: Ectopic Pregnancy

My eyes narrowed slightly, quite surprised by his actions.

So he still rembered that ti.

However, a missed cup of hot cocoa didn’t an much to .

I smiled politely and declined, "Thanks, but I don’t drink things of unknown origin."

Adrian Gordon’s face instantly froze, becoming cold and hard.

Clearly, he knew what I was implying.

I calmly withdrew my gaze and tossed my head, "Let’s go, hurry inside, or the staff will be off work soon."

We went in, took a number, and waited nearby.

Adrian Gordon kept staring at , clearly wanting to chat, but my phone rang, so I walked away to take the call.

It was Daniel Carter calling.

I suddenly rembered that I forgot to tell him I wouldn’t be at the office this afternoon and he didn’t need to pick up after work.

"Hello..."

"Lily, are you getting off work at the usual ti today?" Daniel asked concernedly on the other end.

I hesitated a bit and explained, "Um... I had things to do this afternoon and went out, forgot to tell you. Don’t pick up at the office tonight."

"Where are you? Is it convenient to co back?"

"I’m... I’m at the Governnt Affairs Center, it’s quite convenient to return since it’s near the subway." I said truthfully.

Daniel was puzzled, "The Governnt Affairs Center? What are you doing there?"

"I made an appointnt with Adrian to handle the property transfer formalities."

I hadn’t ntioned these matters to Daniel, so he probably didn’t know. I gave a brief explanation, "There was a villa under our nas before. At that ti, I was in a hurry to gather money to redeem my mom’s bracelet, so I gave up ownership and let him convert it to cash for . Later, there were too many things going on, and the transfer procedures were never completed."

Daniel listened carefully and asked, "So, you decided to suddenly handle it today because Young Miss Gordon apologized to you and you reached an agreent?"

I was surprised, "You also saw the apology video online?"

"Yeah, so I called to ask you."

I nodded and said, "Yes, after completing the transfer formalities, I’ll completely end my relationship with him. I’ll have a lawyer issue a letter of forgiveness, and the case between Amanda and can be completely settled."

After I finished speaking, there was an inexplicable silence on the other end.

I realized sothing and asked in a gentle tone, "Why aren’t you speaking? Are you... angry?"

Daniel chuckled and asked back, "Do you think I should be angry?"

"..." I pressed my lips together, feeling a bit taken aback.

"You still lack the awareness that a girlfriend should have. You didn’t even tell about such a big thing in advance. I should have accompanied you."

"I..." I hesitated, politely saying, "You’re so busy, I didn’t want to bother you. I can handle this myself."

"I’m not allowed to be involved in your family matters. You’re also excluding from matters with your ex-husband. Do you think this is a normal boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?" His tone remained calm, but I sensed he was protesting.

I held the phone, speechless.

But there was silence on the other end as if he was waiting for my explanation.

I didn’t want us to have an unpleasant disagreent, knowing I must clarify this, so I continued, "I’m not intentionally excluding you, it’s just that this was very sudden, a last-minute decision. I really didn’t have ti to tell you, just saw your call—"

I hadn’t finished talking when I heard Adrian Gordon’s voice from behind, "Lily, it’s our turn."

I turned to look at him, acknowledged, and then quickly said to Daniel, "Our number is up, I’ll finish the formalities first, and explain everything to you later. Bye."

On the other end, Daniel said nothing more, and since I was in a rush, I hung up the call.

Turning around, I saw Adrian Gordon staring directly at with a complex look, wanting to say sothing but hesitating.

"Let’s go, didn’t you say it’s our turn?" I put down the phone, casually tossed out a sentence.

Adrian followed behind , "Lily, do you think a love where the status and position are unequal can have a future?"

Understanding the sarcasm in his words, I retorted directly, "Even an equal-status love doesn’t always have a future, does it? Your words are like saying, find soone with a plain look who is honest and reliable, only to find that short, poor, and ugly n can cheat too. Then why not choose a tall, handso, gentle, and wealthy man, at least pleasing to the eye and presentable?"

"..." Adrian was rendered speechless by my retort, staring at , his gaze both shocked and unfamiliar.

I couldn’t be bothered to pay attention.

The more I thought about how he caused Daniel to be upset with , the more annoyed I was with him.

When we reached the service desk, I submitted the docunts, then turned back to him, "Where are your docunts?"

He took out a docunt bag and placed his ID and materials on the counter.

I thought Adrian Gordon was going to pull so trick to make things difficult for again, but surprisingly, he didn’t at all!

We completed the villa transfer formalities smoothly, completely cutting ties.

"Since I cooperated so well, can we have dinner together tonight?" Adrian unexpectedly invited to dinner when taking back his docunts.

I refused without hesitation, "Do you think after we’ve co to this end, we can still sit down and have a peaceful al?"

"Why can’t we? I did so much because I wanted to keep you, but you found a better option and didn’t need anymore."

Ha—

Even now, he still shirked responsibility, trying to manipulate .

I shook my head and smiled helplessly, "Think what you like, but it’s best for us if we never cross paths again."

He pressed his lips together, sitting silently in the wheelchair, his whole body exuding a sense of desolation and pity.

But to , he just looked fake, like he was acting again.

I packed up the docunts, preparing to leave, when he suddenly asked, "When will you issue the letter of forgiveness?"

"I’ll have a lawyer handle it tonight and deliver it first thing in the morning."

"Okay, thank you..."

Thank you?

I looked at him in awe, feeling his behavior was very unusual today.

Could Amanda have run into so new trouble?

Is that why their attitudes suddenly changed?

But I couldn’t be bothered to care or ask; the life and death of the Gordon Family had nothing to do with .

Maybe noticing my change in expression, he handed an eco-friendly bag with a gentle and friendly tone, "Take the hot drink, it’s already bought, and I’m not fond of sweet things."

"Okay, thanks." This ti I took it, then turned and left.

But as I passed a trash can in the corridor, I placed the eco-bag on top of it.

I didn’t throw it directly inside, fearing it would spill and cause trouble for the cleaning staff.

I was sure Adrian saw this scene.

As for his reaction, I didn’t care at all.

It was much later before I realized that Adrian’s drastic attitude change and his lack of troublemaking were because Amanda was cornered with no options left.

She accidentally got pregnant by a rapist, which was already unlucky enough, and it turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy!

To say Amanda was truly unfortunate, because of a wrong idea and a malicious action, she completely ruined her own life.
