Cannot Bear To Let Go Of My Rich Wife
Chapter 398 - 412: Overestimating Oneself, Underestimating Love (14)

Thinking about these things, Isabel gradually woke up from her sleep, and then, her whole being became extraordinarily alert.

Late night, the most vulnerable time for a person, was also the most lucid moment. Isabel suddenly thought about the problems her unborn child in her belly would face.

Her grandma’s blame, Sebastian Smith’s family’s ridicule, and other people’s gossip about her being pregnant out of wedlock...

Isabel suddenly felt an enormous pressure. Pregnant women are prone to emotional fluctuations, so her nerves tightened up abruptly. She had faced all this alone before, and she really didn’t have the courage to face it again. All her courageous and open-minded thoughts during the daytime vanished. She subconsciously picked up her mobile phone from the pillowside and, in a flurry, found Percy’s phone number and dialed it.

This child was half his responsibility, and he couldn’t leave this huge problem for her to face alone.

At this moment, Isabel had clearly forgotten the hostilities that existed between her and Percy.

...

It had been more than ten days since Percy returned to Thompson Empire Group, and his life had been uneventful. But compared to his time in Bellshire, Percy felt that his life had become much simpler.

By "simpler," he meant Raymond. With more people taking care of Raymond, he didn’t have to worry about his son all the time.

He hadn’t officially taken over the Thompson Empire Group yet, but he was already extremely busy.

Every day there were social engagements, but the good thing about being at the Thompson Empire Group compared to Bellshire was that he didn’t have to be particularly friendly with every collaborator, and he could easily brush off these engagements.

However, Percy quite enjoyed this busy time, as it kept his brain functioning at all times, with less idle time and less aimless thoughts.

Regarding the woman he had called enthusiastically to propose marriage, no one mentioned her since he returned to the Thompson Empire Group.

He has always disliked showing his true feelings on his face. So when working and attending meetings at Thompson Empire Tower during the day, he seemed hopelessly normal, showing no sign of being a heartbroken man. Moreover, he was full of energy. In just over ten days since returning to Ravenwood City, he led the Thompson Empire Group’s high-level staff to work overtime, raising a large amount of capital despite it being a time when other companies were calculating profits.

Of course, his relentless work eventually led to several top-level veterans of the Thompson Empire Group collapsing, being sent to the hospital on IV drips.

This turn of events finally caught the attention of Quinton Thompson, who had long given up on dealing with the group’s affairs, and on the morning of January 8th, he forcibly ordered everyone to leave work early.

As a result, Percy’s mood suddenly deteriorated, and to be precise, his mood had been low for some time, but today it was even worse. So as he worked in the afternoon, he lost his patience, reprimanding several engineers who had been hired at high salaries from overseas.

In the evening, a light rain fell in Ravenwood City, covering the streets in a layer of dampness.

The winter in Ravenwood City was not as dry as in Bellshire, but it was still bitterly cold. Percy drove a Spyker C8 he had randomly chosen from his garage that morning, leisurely cruising the main streets.

As he passed the sky bridge beneath "Walk in the Clouds," Percy’s gaze swept across the "Royal Palace" on the opposite side, and he involuntarily slowed down. Eventually, he turned the car around and drove straight into the "Royal Palace."
