Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Overnight in the Villa (8) Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Overnight in the Villa (8) What does this mean?

Carolline could guess what had happened, but she hadn’t expected it to happen at this time. She was somewhat surprised and unsure.

Tomorrow and the day after, she had two days off in a row. Emily Hill had planned for her to go home, but she wanted to adapt to living alone as soon as possible, so she refused Emily’s offer.

Carolline went to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and took out a box of preserved plums. She put two in her mouth, and then slowly lay down on the bed. There was still half a glass of milk left on the nightstand, but she was sure she couldn’t drink it.

The next day, Carolline got up early.

She took a taxi to a private Gynecology Hospital and had a thorough check-up. It was confirmed that she was pregnant, and after a simple ultrasound, it was determined to be an intrauterine pregnancy.

In other words, she could keep this baby if she wanted to.

With the lab report in hand, Carolline took another taxi. This time, she didn’t go back to her single dormitory but instead asked the driver to take her straight to Bluen Lake Wonderland.

For some reason, she suddenly wanted to spend the night there. Her first time had happened here, and by calculating the time, her child might have been conceived here as well.

According to the doctor’s estimation, she had been pregnant for 45 days already, counting from the last menstruation.

If counting from the embryo implantation, it certainly hadn’t been that many days. But she just listened to the medical calculation. It was truly unbelievable that she had been pregnant for a month and a half.

If it hadn’t been for her severe vomiting the night before, she would never have thought that it had anything to do with pregnancy.

And she was a nurse herself.

The doctor told her to relax, seeing that her mood was not good. Carolline also knew why. Now that she had a child, everything was different. Regardless of how her future with Bryan Cooper would turn out, she had already made up her mind. She would keep this child, and for the sake of the child, she would be happy in the future.

So, she came to Bluen Lake Wonderland.

When the servant saw Carolline arrive, she hurriedly came out to welcome her, “Miss Carolline, you’re here?”

Before Bryan decided to go public with their marriage, they had both agreed that the servants in the villa should temporarily address them as Mister and Miss.

“Yes, Auntie, can we have a pot of stewed hen for dinner tonight?” Carolline asked excitedly, even though she had a strong reaction, she still wanted to eat something nutritious for the baby in her belly.

She had been feeling a bit low these days.

“Of course! I’ll go to the supermarket to buy the ingredients right away. Miss Carolline, you can go back to your room and rest for a while, and I’ll call you when lunch is ready,” Auntie said happily. Carolline didn’t visit often and never stayed overnight, which made the servants feel somewhat embarrassed, as if they were taking their salary in vain.

“Alright, I’ll go to my room and lie down for a while. Oh, Auntie, do we have any lemons in the fridge? I’d like to make some lemon water,” Carolline liked eating sour things. As the saying goes, sour boys and spicy girls. She didn’t know if the little one in her belly would be a boy.

But no matter if it was a boy or a girl, they were her child, and she would love them all the same.

“Yes, we do. I’ll make some for you before I leave,” Auntie immediately replied, serving Carolline was her job, and it was rare for Carolline to have such a specific request.

“No need, Auntie. I’ll make it myself. You can go ahead and go out,” Carolline shook her head and declined.

Auntie had no choice but to compromise. She took her wallet, changed into her outdoor clothes and shoes, and headed out to buy ingredients. Not only did she buy hen for stew, but she also bought many different types of meat to cook for Carolline.

With lemon water to drink, Carolline didn’t feel as nauseous. After eating lunch, she went back to her room to rest.

She didn’t know if it was true that pregnant women tend to sleep a lot, but as Carolline inhaled the sour scent of the lemon, not only did she keep her lunch down, but her afternoon nap was also deep and satisfying. When she woke up, it was already time for dinner.

Auntie had made some porridge and saw Carolline coming downstairs, “Miss Carolline, dinner is ready. When would you like to have it?”

“At 6:30, I think. I’d like to take a walk. I feel like I haven’t digested my lunch yet,” Carolline said, somewhat embarrassed. It seemed she had become a prime example of eating and sleeping all the time.

How much weight was she planning to gain throughout her pregnancy?

“Alright,” Auntie agreed, and Carolline changed her shoes and went out.

At the same time, the plane Bryan Cooper was on had just landed. Xavier Estrada came to pick him up. Xavier had returned earlier, leaving Bryan and Joyce Lopez behind.

Naturally, Joyce was delighted. All along, she had thought of Xavier as an annoying third wheel who never knew how to read the room. Although she was clearly unhappy, Xavier remained oblivious.

Eventually, Xavier was sent away by Bryan, and she spent those few days alone with Bryan, feeling incredibly happy. However, happiness was always short-lived, and she had to return when she didn’t want to.

Their negotiation this time was extremely successful, which would increase the profits of the Hawkins Family by 10 percentage points. The new year had just begun, and they had already achieved such impressive results. It looked like their mid-year bonuses would be quite generous again.

“Bryan, it’s getting late. Let’s have dinner together.” After getting in the car, Joyce couldn’t help but speak up. It was already six o’clock, and it was dinner time. The meal on the plane wasn’t very good.

“Xavier, book a private room. Let’s have some Chinese food. Is that okay?” The last part of the sentence was directed at Joyce.

“Yes, whatever you say, Bryan. I don’t mind what we eat,” Joyce actually wanted to say that as long as she was eating with him, it didn’t matter what they ate, it was all delicious food.

As Xavier drove, he looked at Joyce’s flushed face through the rearview mirror. He knew that Joyce’s intentions were not simple. However, he had always stayed out of the boss’s affairs, and he also believed that Bryan could handle it well.

He couldn’t help but sigh for Carolline: it had just been Matilda Ferguson, and now there was Joyce Lopez.

Moreover, he believed that Joyce must think that working at the Hawkins Company and being close to Bryan gave her an advantage. Little did she know that Bryan was already committed.

He and Carolline were already husband and wife.

Only after getting in the car did Bryan turn on his phone. The constant beeping of incoming messages could be heard, and Bryan scrolled through them one by one. Finally, he reached a text message from someone at the villa, telling him that Carolline would be spending the night there.
