Goodbye, Ex-husband! I’m Pregnant with Your Uncle’s Child!
Chapter 156 Green Hat

Chapter 156: Chapter 156 Green Hat

"Men are so reliable, pigs might fly."

Julia Land cursed men.

She lazily leaned against the sofa, picked up a cherry tomato, and popped it into her mouth.

Sweet, not sour, very delicious.

After finishing, she continued ranting.

"James Thompson, how can you lack even this basic common sense now? Washing socks with clothes, don’t you find that disgusting? Has your brain rusted?"

Not long ago, Julia had asked James to do the laundry.

Unexpectedly, she discovered that not only did this man not sort the clothes, but he also washed the socks together with them.

How dirty!

She ate another cherry tomato to cool down.

Strangely, she used to find Mr. Thompson appealing from head to toe.

Now, she found Mr. Thompson unappealing from head to toe.

Could it be that their honeymoon phase was over?

"You can’t even wash clothes properly, and in the end, you have a pregnant woman do the laundry, even though you clearly knew how to wash them before. You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you??"

This was indeed crucial.

Mr. Thompson used to wash the sheets and clothes perfectly well!

Such a sharp-tongued woman.

The man, with a cold expression, sat on the other side of the sofa. In the past, James actually had to do the laundry; that was just foolish. They could hire a maid to take care of everything.

Now, not only did he have to do the laundry, but he also had to mop the floors, wash fruits for her, and wash dishes three times a day.

He got fed up after just one day.

The man gently said, "Let’s hire a maid, shall we? Weren’t you saying you’re tired of eating from the Noble Grid Hotel every day?"

Julia actually didn’t like the idea of having an outsider at home, but she was currently unable to do much herself. She thought about it, "We’ll just hire a maid to cook three meals a day; you can handle the rest of the housework."

The woman had the final say.

"You used to mop and wash clothes."

But that was then. The man now wouldn’t.

The man twitched his mouth up, lifted his head slightly, and took a sip of water, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he suppressed his anger.

"Fine, I’ll continue doing these things."

If James could do it, he could too!

How could he be outdone by James?

Mopping and laundry? Piece of cake!

"I’ll take care of finding the maid," Julia decided.

"Oh."

The two had effectively had a one-sided argument when the doorbell rang.

James went to open the door.

He wasn’t surprised to see Trevor Sullivan standing outside.

"I saw the news that you were back, so I came to check on you."

Trevor gave James a once-over, relieved to see he was alright.

Moreover, the twins are still so young; growing up without a father would be a loss, "Got time? Can we talk?"

James raised an eyebrow and let Trevor in. "Coming to see me and you didn’t bring a gift?"

Trevor thought James was joking, "The car outside is a new, limited edition sports car. Drove it for the first time today, can that be my gift?"

"That’ll do, barely. Remember to leave the car and the keys when you leave," James said with a smile.

"Are you serious?"

"Dead serious."

Both tall men, they quickly made their way to the living room.

When Julia saw Trevor Sullivan, she wasn’t surprised.

Trevor nodded at Julia, "Miss Land."

His gaze accidentally fell on Julia’s stomach before shifting away.

James sat next to Julia, casually asking, "What do you want to talk about?"

Trevor initially thought James might take him to the study to talk, but he went straight to the living room instead.

Julia was right there on the sofa; some things weren’t convenient to say here.

Trevor smiled, "Can we talk in the study?"

Julia smirked meaningfully. Last night Chloe Sullivan had wanted to talk to James too.

Now it was her cousin’s turn.

James, finding himself quite free, decided to see what Trevor had to say, "Alright, let’s go to the study."

The two went to the study, and Julia stretched her neck, quite curious.

But she wasn’t the type to eavesdrop on others’ conversations.

She switched the TV channel out of boredom, yet her mind wandered to the study.

＊

In the study.

Because of Julia Land’s arrangement, the study didn’t have a very stern and simple style, but rather exuded a literary aura.

Trevor Sullivan glanced around and sat down, immediately apologizing, "James Thompson, I have to apologize to you, I couldn’t bear to see Little Chloe’s kid become a fatherless illegitimate child in the future, so I contacted Elder Thompson."

"I hope you can understand, Chloe is my family no matter what."

James Thompson noncommittally responded with an "Oh."

Trevor Sullivan then turned the conversation and, as Chloe’s cousin, he complained, "You were too careless. If you didn’t want to continue being with Chloe, you should have taken proper precautions."

Trevor Sullivan also had many women, but he always paid attention to safety, which was for everyone’s benefit.

The man sat in the chair, crossed his legs, and casually flipped through a book, listening to Trevor Sullivan’s complaints.

He scoffed, "I never slept with your cousin, the child isn’t mine."

As for whether James Thompson sneaked around and slept with Chloe, that was none of his business.

In any case, he hadn’t.

A somewhat rogue thought.

He was Christopher Moore, not really James Thompson.

Trevor Sullivan was stunned to hear this, "You never slept together?"

"Yep, never did."

The man’s answer was very firm.

Trevor Sullivan’s expression turned ugly in an instant; he felt like James Thompson was shirking responsibility, and Chloe was his cousin.

If not for the monk’s sake, at least for Buddha’s.

Not wanting to take responsibility and speaking like that was a bit too much.

"James Thompson, be a man and take responsibility. You can’t choose to be irresponsible just because you want to be with Miss Land!"

James Thompson glanced at Trevor Sullivan with a semi-smile and lazily said, "I said we didn’t do it, we didn’t do it. What, are you trying to force me?"

Seeing James Thompson still adopting a lazy demeanor, Trevor Sullivan really got a bit angry, "The twins are at the Thompson Family home, do you want to go do a paternity test with them?"

His cousin would not lie to him about such a matter.

His eyes sparkled slightly, "Are you afraid Miss Land will get angry?"

"Not afraid." The man spoke the truth; there was nothing to be afraid of.

A man should never be afraid of making a woman angry.

"If you still don’t want to admit it, just go ahead and do the paternity test with the twins."

Trevor Sullivan did not want to continue arguing about this issue with James Thompson; if it happened, it happened, why still be so irresponsible.

James Thompson maintained a smile, his smile carried a bit of wickedness, "Alright, when I return to Capital City, I’ll go do the paternity test with them."

Trevor Sullivan’s suggestion was actually a good one.

After all, he had absolutely no connection with the twins, and he wasn’t really James Thompson; when the twins turned out not to be descendants of the Thompson Family, it would be a scandal for them.

This plan was really good.

He already couldn’t wait to go to Capital City.

"When the time comes, if it turns out the twins are your children, how do you plan to handle it with my cousin?"

"Ah, what handle? There’s no handling."

"..."

He never knew James Thompson could be this rogue.

Trevor Sullivan frowned, "James Thompson, I’m serious, your father has publicly acknowledged Chloe’s relationship with you, if you deny Chloe, she will become a laughingstock in the circles."

The man closed the book, raised an eyebrow, and smirked, "It’s not like I asked her to give birth."

Her becoming a laughingstock was none of his business.

"..."

The conversation had come to this point, and Trevor Sullivan realized it was futile to continue.

With a cold face, he left angrily.

Sitting in the living room, Julia Land watched Trevor Sullivan leave angrily, and she raised an eyebrow.

After Trevor Sullivan had left, she finally asked the man who sauntered out of the study, "What were you talking about? Trevor Sullivan seemed really angry?"

James Thompson poured himself a glass of water, hand on his hip, took a sip, and replied, "He tried to force me to admit that I had slept with Chloe Sullivan and fathered a child."

A very direct way of expressing it.

It’s just Mr. Thompson’s use of ’force’ that was quite telling.

Julia Land chuckled, her eyes curving, elongating her tone, "Oh~~"

"Don’t worry, once we go to Capital City, I’ll immediately take the twins for a paternity test. They’re not my kids, don’t think of niccing me with a cuckoo’s cap."

Julia Land laughed; she held a cherry tomato, grinning and said, "You’ve nicced me before with a cuckoo’s cap, though."

"Impossible!" James Thompson said with a scattered smile, "I’m not that kind of person."

Julia Land immediately put down the cherry tomato.

She was referring to the time when they had just met not long ago, at the Noble Grid Hotel, when James Thompson had nicced her several times.

Didn’t he get her meaning?

The man walked over, wrapping his arm around her shoulder, "Little Julia, we’re going to Capital City in three months, and then we’ll do the paternity test to clear my name."
