After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire’s Child
Chapter 283 - 276

Chapter 283: Chapter 276

Rainny White carefully made her way through the crowd and quickly walked towards Carlos.

Carlos’s gaze remained fixed on Emily Parker. She stood for quite a while, looking a bit tired, occasionally gently holding her waist, but her brows and eyes still carried a polite smile.

Carlos hurriedly wrapped his arm around her gently, politely nodding and apologizing to a few foreign officials in fluent French,

"Please forgive us, my wife is feeling a bit unwell."

Emily was helped by Carlos to sit down nearby.

Carlos said half-seriously, half-teasingly,

"You’re perhaps too dedicated as a general manager; Carter Clan’s salary doesn’t include overtime pay."

"Although we are representing Carter Clan today, don’t forget that you are now my assistant. We’ve discussed several projects together, all of which are very beneficial to Carter Clan."

As the two exchanged words, the previous unpleasantness seemed to dissipate in that moment.

Just then, Faye Manor waved from a distance, calling Carlos over. It turned out that a few of their childhood friends also came tonight.

Carlos reminded Emily with a few words, telling her to sit and rest well, then got up and walked over.

Emily nodded slightly. After Carlos walked away, she gently pinched her somewhat sore and swollen ankle.

She was over five months pregnant, and although her figure could barely be concealed, her body tired more easily. After standing for a while, her ankles were slightly swollen.

She was about to close her eyes to rest when she suddenly felt a chilled bottle of mineral water in her hand.

She looked up, only to see Adam Willow standing beside her at some point. He was wearing a white suit with the collar slightly open, looking particularly refreshing.

His gaze was complex as he looked at Emily, bending down to place the chilled mineral water on Emily’s ankle.

Emily looked at him with some surprise.

Logically, Adam Willow should not be here.

Adam Willow then explained,

"I came with the chairman. He is the top official and an old acquaintance of my father."

He paused, then added,

"I arrived just now, saw you talking to the guests, and felt like you seemed a bit uncomfortable."

She accepted the bottle of mineral water, thanking him politely yet distantly.

Adam Willow stood beside, his gaze never leaving Emily.

He looked at her slightly bulging belly, and a wave of complicated emotions surged within him.

In fact, he had arrived long ago, and he had seen the entire scene of Emily talking with the guests.

He only blamed himself for being blind to her virtues, wondering why he realized Emily’s worth only now.

"Brother Carter, I have something I’d like to discuss with you."

On the other side of the banquet hall, Carlos was chatting with a few friends, his gaze occasionally sweeping towards the other side of the hall.

At that moment, the hall was bustling with people, the lights dazzling, and guests gathered in small groups, chatting and laughing.

However, Carlos’s thoughts were not with them; his eyes seemed to be searching for something.

But now, as the crowd grew, the place where Emily sat was just obscured by a group of guests.

Carlos frowned slightly, feeling a bit anxious, wishing to end the conversation swiftly and return to Emily’s side.

Just then, Rainny White came over.

Her face carried a timid expression, her eyes showing some nervousness and unease. She stood by Carlos’s side, slightly lowering her head, her voice almost inaudible,

"Brother Carter..."

Carlos turned his head, upon seeing Rainny White’s appearance, his brows knitted slightly,

Rainny White raised her head, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes, but quickly she became resolute again.

She said softly, "Brother Carter, I saw Sister Emily Parker sitting over there, and she seems a little unwell. I just gave her a glass of water, but she still doesn’t look right."

Carlos’s expression instantly became serious, and he immediately interrupted Rainny White,

"How is she now? Are you sure she’s unwell?"

Rainny White nodded, concern in her eyes, "She was rubbing her ankle just now and drank some water, but she still looks very tired."

Carlos said no more, immediately heading towards Emily. His steps were swift, his eyes carrying a hint of urgency.
