Chapter 226: 207. How did the child hide

"Hmm!"

Mario Jensen gave a hum and showed no intention of handing the bag to her. Instead, he followed her at a leisurely pace.

When Lina Miller took out her key, she hesitated to glance at him, thinking that Mario, who was always observant, would get the hint to hand over the bag and leave.

He seemed like a different person today, not only not catching on to her subtle hints, but also acting like he was very interested in going in and sitting around.

It wasn’t that she didn’t welcome him to go in and sit, but because she suspected that she was pregnant and was afraid that he would find out if he stayed here. She knew Mario Jensen. Although he didn’t love her, he genuinely cared for her. So if he found out that she was pregnant, he would definitely help her find the child’s father to do some damage control, even if he couldn’t remember what happened between them that night.

If that were the case, where could she hide this child?

Today’s reaction was especially sensitive, and the longer she stayed with him, the more likely it was to be found out. In the end, she couldn’t help but remind him directly, "Mario, it’s getting late. You should go back earlier. Driving will be inconvenient if it’s too late!"

Unexpectedly, the man didn’t seem to care about her words at all. He carefully looked at her and gave a nod with a smiling face, "Yes, it’s getting late, indeed. Driving will indeed be inconvenient if it’s too late. So I am staying here tonight!"

Lina Miller: "..." Was that her intention?

Mario Jensen looked at her surprised gaze and felt a little astonished, but also some unintentional embarrassment. After all, she had already hinted that he could leave, and now that he was planning to stay here so openly, her reaction was understandable.

"Are you not welcoming me to stay?" Mario Jensen looked at her usually mild and expressionless white face, with a slight frown, "Is there someone in the room, so it’s inconvenient?"

Mario Jensen admitted that asking this question was deliberate. He knew better than anyone if there was someone in her room. Lina Miller had no scandals or gossip since her debut, and no woman had ever spent the night in this apartment other than him.

Moreover, he was responsible for ruining her first night. If it weren’t for the cherry-red stain, he would have thought that he had just had a dream, and wouldn’t have known that he had done such a scoundrel thing to her!

He was just trying to tease her on a whim, but her reaction was as expected.

"No one, it’s convenient, it’s convenient!"

No matter what, Mario Jensen was not only her boss now but also her savior in the past. She wouldn’t refuse him for any reason. If he wanted to stay, she had to let him stay. Since he had spent the night here last time, he would occasionally stay in the guest room if it was too late to bring her back, and leave early the next morning.

Due to her nerves, Lina’s fingers were pressed several times but missed the correct position. The door opening system reminded her three times, "Your fingerprint does not exist, please re-enter!"

Mario Jensen watched her distractedly as she failed to press her fingerprint correctly three times. His originally smiling face suddenly darkened. Was she so tense just because he said he was going to stay overnight? Did the incident last time leave her with a shadow?

Thinking of this possibility, Mario Jensen’s gaze fell on her, and the profound sadness that followed was unsurprising. To say that he, Mario Jensen, had everything since birth, and never lacked women who wanted to be with him, but all he ever wanted was Ivy Aretha, who was already someone else’s wife.

Moreover, the woman who used to be close to him had also moved away, and all of this could only be blamed on his own scoundrel behavior. He had brought all of this upon himself.

Mario Jensen watched as the woman anxiously pressed the button to unlock the door. Her hand couldn’t help but touch her lower abdomen again. Her pale face in the dim light appeared even more weak and somewhat unreal. A sharp pain came from her chest, and her hand instinctively went to suppress it, only to realize it was in the direction of her heart.

Yes, that’s right, he was heartbroken for another woman!

For the first time in all these years!

To meet the deadline, she had worked all night for three consecutive days without proper rest. Moreover, she had traveled today, encountered drama, and already felt very exhausted. Her knowledge of her pregnancy added to the weight, making her feel even more powerless, while the acidic feeling in her stomach intensified...

"Are you still trying to be strong when you’re feeling unwell?"

His deep and gentle voice carried a warm reprimand, and her fragile body was gently embraced. Her thumb that had been pressed on the fingerprint machine was gently pulled to his mouth and lightly blown. The man’s scorching familiar breath penetrated her heart through her fingertips.

Lina Miller felt her whole body stiffen and a surge of electricity rushing through her entire being, before dissipating throughout her limbs. She stared in astonishment at the handsome face close to her which made her heart race. Her finger was pressed against the side of the fingerprint lock again, and the machine quickly conveyed two words: Thank you!

The moment the door was opened, and the familiar feeling of home made a tired Lina Miller, who hadn’t rested well for three days, relax her entire body. Immediately afterward, the sour, nauseous feeling in her stomach was about to break out. In a hurry, she pushed away Mario Jensen, who was holding her, and rushed straight to the bathroom. Because her movements were too sudden, she accidentally knocked over a chair blocking her path, making a loud noise.

Mario Jensen looked at her exaggerated reaction, and just as he reached out to grab her, he heard a bang, as the bathroom door was closed tightly, and even the sound of the lock being turned could be heard from inside.

Mario Jensen’s heart sank, and the pair of eyes staring intently at the bathroom door turned dark, inch by inch. She was on guard against him like a wolf. Ever since the incident, she had changed completely. She had been quiet and not talkative, but now she had become distant.

This change sharply stung his heart, and he finally felt the saying "one misstep leads to eternal regret".

But now that things had come to this point, even if he was a beast, he had already committed a beastly act!

Frustration, self-blame, and regret - all these emotions mixed together, and Mario Jensen called a doctor first before leaning weakly against the bathroom door. The sound of vomiting followed by the sound of water came from inside...

She was vomiting so badly, had she gotten food poisoning?

Her intestines and stomach had always been fragile. Damn Allure International, hadn’t they prepared proper food for the guests?

Mario Jensen had an urge to call Michael Gordon and curse at him directly, but when he thought of Ivy Aretha, he forcibly held back!
