Goodbye, Ex-husband! I’m Pregnant with Your Uncle’s Child!
Chapter 165 Capital City

Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Capital City

Because of that call from Elder Thompson, Julia Land had a change of heart.

The door slammed shut.

The man was chased out of the bedroom.

"..."

Didn’t this woman love James Thompson dearly? How could she give up so easily just because of opposition from his parents?

A smile appeared on his face as he knocked on the door with a sorrowful tone, "Little Pear, don’t you love me anymore? Are you thinking of giving me away to that woman, Chloe Sullivan, to torment?"

Julia was speechless, what did this have to do with anything? She pursed her lips and shouted outside the door, "The third leg is on your own body, if you want to run off to another woman, I can’t control you. I’m going to sleep, stop bothering me."

"Anyway, I’m not going to Capital City anymore!"

"..."

The next day when she woke up, Julia Land, after washing up and rubbing her eyes, walked out of the bedroom and saw the room full of paper cranes, "?"

Her mind instantly went on high alert.

"I stayed up all night folding paper cranes," James Thompson walked over to Julia, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and persuasively said in a deep voice, "Little Pear, let’s go to Capital City together, okay? I can continue to fold lots and lots of paper cranes for you."

"And besides, once we’re married, we’ll be living on our own, not with my dad."

Without her, him alone in Capital City would be so boring, wouldn’t it?

The man regretted turning on the speakerphone last night, it was his own doing.

Julia was pressed into his embrace and couldn’t escape.

"Let me go first, I need to have breakfast, I’m pregnant now and don’t plan to suffer in Capital City. We can go there after I give birth."

Her words were final, the child in her belly was the most important.

Seeing her so steadfast, the man’s eyes flickered and he no longer continued the topic.

However, in the following week, that man went out of his way to make Julia Land happy.

Julia’s skeptical gaze followed the man continually.

"Mr. Thompson, you’re looking like a sly weasel now."

Weasels pay New Year’s visits to chickens; no good intentions.

"Injustice! I’m just trying to make the mother of my child happy, is that wrong?"

Then, one morning a week later, when Julia was soundly asleep, the man wrapped her up and carried her, blanket and all, onto a helicopter.

".... "

Julia Land, who was inexplicably bundled onto the plane, nearly cursed out loud but thankfully managed to restrain herself due to her upbringing.

She wore a cold expression throughout the journey.

The flight from Dunmore City to Capital City was just over an hour, and the helicopter landed on the Thompson Family’s airfield.

Julia’s last bit of stubbornness was her flat-out refusal to get off the plane.

She was still in her pajamas; to disembark looking like this would make her want to cry.

James Thompson knew he was at fault, so he touched his nose and coaxed her quietly, "Shall I keep wrapping you in the blanket and carry you to the room?"

Butler Huang was standing not far away, waiting.

He quickly glanced inside the plane, then reverted his gaze, thinking of Chloe Sullivan who had been anxiously sitting in the living room since early morning, waiting for the young master to return.

Julia Land was very angry with James Thompson; how had she not noticed his domineering ways before.

"Where is this?" Julia asked unhappily.

"The Thompson Family’s airfield."

"..."

Great, they had flown straight to the Thompson Family home.

Julia closed her eyes to calm her tumultuous emotions, and then opened them again, "Did you bring my clothes?"

"I brought a few sets."

The man knew Julia Land was angry, and it left him with a headache. After coaxing her for a week and still not agreeing to go to Capital City, he had no choice but to pack her up and bring her directly.

Julia sneered, at least he knew to pack clothes for her, "Give me the clothes."

The man turned to look at Butler Huang.

Understanding the situation, Butler Huang signaled to the people who came to pick them up to leave first, and then he turned his back on the helicopter as well.

James Thompson went to open the luggage and took out a dress and underwear for Julia.

Julia beckoned him to come up.

She asked him to hold the blanket steady while she changed inside it.

Having put on the dress, she at least looked somewhat presentable.

Waiting for Julia to change, James Thompson then went down to fetch her shoes.

Julia Land gave a faintly mocking look at the shoes in the man’s hand, "You’re really something, even bringing shoes."

The man smiled and as he held her foot, he helped her put on her shoes.

He explained, "We’re staying at the Thompson Family home tonight and will move out tomorrow."

"It means she just has to endure for one night."

"Mm."

Julia Land had no interest in continuing this topic; now that she was at the Thompson residence, could she really back out?

*

At this moment, in the Thompson family living room, Chloe Sullivan was absentmindedly looking toward the door.

Maya Chant said with a smile, "He should be arriving soon."

Clad in a vibrant, multicolored dress, Chloe looked delicately charming as she smiled.

Not long after, they heard footsteps.

A man and a woman walked in, the man wrapping his arms around the woman.

Chloe stood up, smiling as she walked over, "Brother Thompson."

She nodded indifferently at Julia Land, "Miss Land."

The courtesy was impeccable.

Julia Land pursed her lips into a faint smile.

James Thompson indifferently glanced at Chloe before turning to the butler and saying, "Prepare a breakfast suitable for a pregnant woman and bring it to the room later."

He first took Julia Land back to the room to freshen up.

Meanwhile, Chloe, who was completely ignored, had an unchanged expression, patient and composed.

Only the one who laughs last is the true winner.

The butler personally went to the kitchen to instruct the cook to prepare a meal suitable for a pregnant woman.

James Thompson’s room was simply decorated in a black and white theme, which Julia Land briefly surveyed.

The man standing behind her also looked indifferently at the room.

Ever since Lucy had left, he hadn’t set foot in the Thompson home.

Not much had changed.

"Sophia, you go freshen up first; I’ll go downstairs to get something."

With that, the man left the room.

Because of Julia’s pregnancy, it had been a long while since he last smoked.

He went downstairs and asked the butler to get him a pack of cigarettes.

James Thompson casually greeted Maya Chant, took the pack of cigarettes from the butler’s hand, and left the living room.

Chloe watched his retreating figure, not following him out, continuing to chat with the second lady of the house with a smile.

The man walked to the pavilion in the back garden, lazily lighting a cigarette and placing it in his mouth, his features somewhat somber.

There was a swing in front of him.

Lucy used to love sitting on the swing, pushing it with her feet on the ground.

"Christopher, when you come back, I’ll give you a big surprise," said Lucy’s voice over the phone, reaching him overseas, letting him feel her joy at the time.

But when he returned home, instead of a surprise, there was only a cold body.

*

Julia Land ate the meal brought by the servant. After she was done, James Thompson still had not returned.

She rubbed her temples, feeling annoyed at the thought of Chloe Sullivan.

She sent a message to Sophia Hart while sitting on the sofa, "Sophia, I’ve arrived in Capital City, now I’m at the Thompson residence."

At this moment, Sophia was still in Grace City. On the twins’ hundred days celebration, she too would return to Capital City.

"Sophia, didn’t you say a couple of days ago that you weren’t going?" Sophia Hart turned over and texted.

"James brought me onto the plane."

"...That’s bold."

Julia Land sent a gritted-teeth emoji, then put her phone down. She didn’t know how to call someone to clear away the dishes, so she decided to take care of it herself and brought them downstairs.

As she stepped out of the elevator, a servant rushed over to take the dishes from her hands.

"Thank you."

Just as Julia Land was about to turn around and head upstairs, Chloe, who was seated in the living room, stood up and called to her, "Miss Land, would you come and sit for a bit, can we talk?"

Julia Land raised an eyebrow and nodded, "Alright."

She walked over.

Maya Chant stood up with a smile, "I have to go out for a bit, you two chat. Miss Land, take care."

Julia Land responded with a smile, "Ma’am, take care."

Maya left to go upstairs and change clothes.

Julia Land sat down on the sofa.

"Miss Land, I have to apologize to you first," said Chloe Sullivan graciously, "I didn’t expect to find myself pregnant before Brother Thompson chose to be with you."
