“Apologize? You don’t naively think that a simple apology can heal the damage you’ve done to my brother and to the Xiao Family, do you?” Jerry Xiao immediately pinched Zoey’s lower jaw and questioned in a stern voice.
If it wasn’t for her damn betrayal, how could my brother still be alive or dead!
“Jerry, you’re hurting me …” Zoey said in a resigned voice. That soft ‘Jerry’ actually made Jerry Xiao froze. Damn it! Who allowed her to call his name so intimately? And, it was so nice to call him that!
Her soft hair floated past the end of his nose. The smell surprisingly also made him feel somewhat familiar.
Geez, it’s crazy to feel familiar! It’s clearly the first time they’ve been this close together!
Jerry Xiao’s eyes dropped coldly and he put more force on his hands, “Zoey Baker, who gave you the right to call me that? Hmm? You better control yourself and don’t try to seduce anyone!”
Because, her ‘Jerry’ was too much like a lover’s murmur. Let him have to think wrong!
Another charge was brought down on Zoey, leaving him speechless. Every word he said was like a boulder hitting his chest, making his nose sore, but he had to hold back his tears.
At this point in time, she did not want to refute anything and only said lightly: “I know. Please also ask Second Young Master Xiao to let go of me with a noble hand. Since everyone is not here, I will have to come back another day.”
With that, Zoey pulled his lower jaw out of Jerry Xiao’s hand, where he had already pulled out a bruise.
Zoey didn’t raise her hand to rub it, just smiled and said, “Bye!”
“Goodbye?” Jerry Xiao sneered at Zoey, put both hands around his chest and spoke coolly, “Zoey Baker, we at the Xiao Family don’t care about apologies from people like you, so please don’t appear in front of us again even on another day. I especially don’t want to see you again!”
Zoey turned her back to Jerry and took her first step, her tears were falling. He loathed her! And he loathed her so much! He didn’t even want to look at her. If he knew it wasn’t Nabi that night, but her, he would have wanted to strangle her on the spot.
“Butler, send the guests away! From now on, no one from the Baker family will be allowed to set foot in the Xiao Family!” Behind him, his warm voice sounded quietly.
Zoey’s heart ached and she covered her chest, wanting to get out of here as soon as possible, but she felt a wave of dizziness coming over her. Her feet were unsteady and she stumbled and almost fell to the ground. In order to keep herself from getting too messy, she could only grab the air in a hurry, but unexpectedly grabbed Jerry Xiao’s cuff.
He also did not expect Zoey’s action, the whole person was carried by her, and the two of them crashed into the sofa together.
His upright body was pressed right heavily against his slender body.
The hot, heavy breathing made Zoey dizzy. The close proximity reminded her of that night’s intimacy. The woman in his arms is a soft, warm mass of warmth that makes him lose his mind for a moment. The woman’s fan-like eyelashes trembled gently, and her panicked appearance looked like a frightened deer.
It’s that familiar smell again … is really possessed!
Jerry Xiao wrinkled his eyebrows, arms up to trap Zoey in front of his chest, looking at her mockingly: “Trying to seduce me? What? You can’t get 200 million from my brother, so you want to get it from me, right?”
Zoey small face white, two hands against Jerry Xiao chest, “You get up first …”
She couldn’t breathe at all from such a close distance.
“Lust?” Jerry Xiao looked down at her with cold eyes.
“I didn’t.” Zoey retorted, the uncomfortable feeling between her brows growing heavier. She furrowed her thin brow and pushed him, “Please let go of me, I’m a little uncomfortable.”
Jerry Xiao snorted coldly, just didn’t want to let her go, instead, he bent his head and pressed her even tighter. He said, “Are you sure you’re not feeling well, or are you just playing the poor guy in front of me, huh?”
Zoey smiled bitterly, her misty eyes gazing at the face in front of her, which had enchanted her deeply, and asked rhetorically, “Does pretending to be pitiful work for you? Will you feel sorry for me, will you pity me?”
The hurt under his eyes made Jerry Xiao froze, and in the next instant, he snorted, “What qualifies you for my pity?”
Zoey’s heart tightened little by little, a tear crossed the corner of her eye, and the next moment, the sky spun, and she fell face down into Jerry Xiao’s arms.
“Hey Zoey Baker, what are you pretending to be?”
“Zoey Baker?” seeing her not moving, Jerry Xiao tapped her face suspiciously. When she still didn’t respond, Jerry Xiao raised his eyebrows and increased the force of his hand, “Hey, Zoey Baker, wake up! Hey!”
“Second Young Master, Miss Baker seems to have fainted!” The butler saw that the situation was not right.
Fainting? What a pain in the ass!
Jerry Xiao sank his eyes and stood up straight, turning around to see the housekeeper still there, he yelled in a low voice, “What are you still standing there for? Go call the emergency number! Hurry up and get this troublesome woman out of here!”
After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs. The moment he stepped up the stairs, he couldn’t help but look back at Zoey’s pale face on the couch.
Frown.
What a troublesome woman!
…
“Miss, you’re pregnant!”
“What?!” Zoey was simply stunned at the doctor’s words. Her mind was blank, and she could only stare at the ‘early pregnancy’ result shown on the ultrasound test sheet.
“The baby is 3 weeks old. If you want to take it out make a decision as soon as possible, any further delay will only delay the best surgery.” The doctor didn’t have time to repeat himself and just said with a blank face.
Take it away?
“No! I don’t want to take it out!” She subconsciously covered the small of her back and looked at the doctor in panic.
The doctor looked at her askance, “If you don’t take it off, eat more nutritious meals. Come back at three months for a Down’s screening …”
The doctor was rambling on and Zoey listened carefully.
Walking out of the hospital and looking at the traffic on the street, her hand gently covered her still flat belly.
Baby, if there is no daddy to love you in the future, you must not blame mommy. However, although there is no daddy, but mommy will definitely give you the most complete love!
That night, Zoey hastily packed up some things and hurried out of the Baker family.
If the family knew of the existence of this child, they would not have given her permission to keep the child.
I’m sorry, mommy and daddy brother! Please forgive Zoey for leaving without saying goodbye, Zoey really wants this baby so badly …
Time, in the blink of an eye, flies.
Five years have passed and Zoey has returned from England.
At an airport in China, a beautiful woman led two white porcelain doll-like children and appeared in the sight of everyone. That moment, without surprise, attracted the attention of everyone present.
What a beautiful, adorable pair of babies!
“Nini, you’re so big and you need Zoey to hold you! Come down and walk by yourself, you are so fat, Zoey’s hands will hurt!” KK flattened her tender little mouth and ‘lectured’ her sister.
“KK is the fat one! Big fat cat! I’m just the right size!” Nini is only four years old, but she already knows that she loves beauty. Nini is only four years old, and she knows that she loves her beauty. She snaps back at her brother and hugs her mommy’s neck, “KK is obviously jealous that she is a girl and can have Zoey to hold her!
“Geez, boys don’t want hugs!” KK muttered defiantly, looking at her sister again. “A girl who calls people ‘fat cats’ is not a lady! Boys don’t like it!”
“Who wants boys to like! I just want Zoey to like it!” The little princess raised her nice chin proudly.
The look is so unlike her, she must have inherited someone’s genes, Zoey thought with amusement.
Afraid that the conflict between the two children will escalate again, Zoey had to come out as a mediator, deliberately stern face, “All right! No more drama. Apologize to each other, or Zoey will get angry.”
KK is the older brother, the apology thing, naturally he comes first. Only to hang down his little head and pout his red and tender little mouth, “Sorry, Nini is not fat at all.”
Nini is always in the habit of selling her good behavior after getting a bargain, raising her small swan-like neck and smiling innocently, showing two cute little tiger teeth, “Then I accept KK’s apology! From now on, I won’t call KK a fat cat anymore either!”
Relieved that the two little ones had made up, Zoey led the two children to a cab.
“Zoey , are we going to see daddy now?” Nini always had a soft spot for ‘daddy’.
KK is better at reading mommy’s face and immediately refuted her sister’s words, “Who wants to go see daddy? We have Zoey and that’s enough, we don’t want any daddy!”
Zoey has gotten used to mentioning that person without a ripple in her heart – time always washes everything away, so her love for him is probably over too.
Smiling generously, she replied to the child, “Not looking for Daddy. Where’s Mommy? She’s taking you to see your grandparents and uncle.”
“Yes! We’ll have an uncle to love from now on!” Nini clapped her hands and shouted, and Zoey smiled reassuringly.
She knows that in recent years, the Baker family has been doing very well and the business is getting bigger and bigger. But because of this, they simply can’t afford any scandals. If the story of her having children out of wedlock was revealed, it would be another shock to the Baker family. She also dared not imagine how shocked her family would be if they found out about the existence of the children. This five years only dare to quietly follow the Baker family news, dare not come back, only afraid that the family really resent their own extremely.
Zoey sighed, guilt-ridden eyebrows, looking out the window at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery, unspeakable melancholy filled the heart.
…
After settling the two children in the hotel, Zoey changed into a formal suit and hurried to MY group of companies to hand over her work. For the last two years in the UK, Zoey worked in the MY UK branch before being transferred back to the MY headquarters in China due to work requirements.
It is said that the founder of MY group of companies is Chinese, the company was founded in the United Kingdom, only eight years, has been doing well, and is now turning to the impact of the Asian market.
Although working in the company for two years, Zoey has not seen the real boss behind the scenes once. But then there was a rumor that the president behind the scenes was actually an old man in his 60s with balding hair, a rumor that undoubtedly shattered the dreams of all the company’s female employees.
Zoey was in charge of the main office, and the job transition went smoothly, and I felt a sense of sadness when I walked out of the office and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar streets.
I want to go back and see them, I want to hear them tell themselves that they have been doing well these past few years. But, will the family forgive themselves?
Zoey took a deep breath, her strong thoughts made her care about nothing, went back to the hotel, picked up her two children, took her luggage and headed home.
With trembling hands, she rang the doorbell. The two children looked around curiously.
