She now couldn’t wait to tell Joey Xu the news, and even more so, she kept fantasizing about what Joey Xu would look like if he knew.
He must be as excited as she was, she thought.
“It’s good that you’re not taking it off. That’s fine, come back in a couple days for blood pressure and progesterone tests.” The doctor wrote two strokes in her chart book, then covered it and handed it to her with a sincere, “Congratulations.”
“Thanks! Thank you doctor!”
Sammy Jones came out of the hospital with some unrealistic feelings. The whole thing was as unreal as if he was floating on a cloud.
It turns out that to be a mom is such an amazing feeling.
She could now fully imagine Andrea Jones’ agonizing pain at the time of her child’s miscarriage, including the subsequent delay in pregnancy. And she can even more so appreciate the excitement and ecstasy of her subsequent pregnancy.
Now, she’s nothing less than her!
Sammy Jones was in a state of excitement, holding the phone and immediately trying to dial Joey Xu, but the mechanical sound coming from the other side was like pouring cold water on her head, making her immediately become frustrated.
Joey Xu, how is he now?
Hanging up the phone, drooping his head, thinking for a moment, he still fights the urge to go to Andrea Jones’ house to check on the kids and tell her the good news on the way.
Standing to the curb to get a cab, I had just waved when the cell phone in my bag rang abruptly.
She took it out and looked at it, seeing the number displayed on the screen, slightly out of breath. The caller was no other than Zhao Yuanyuan. She backed up to the curb and came to, took a deep breath, and picked up the phone and stuck it to her ear.
Without waiting for Zhao Yuanyuan to speak, she had already made a preemptive strike.
“Ms. Zhao, please don’t call and harass me if you’re fine in the future. If you want to save Joey Xu, you do so. If you really don’t want to save him, I’m sure he will find a way to come out. Also, for those inexplicable requests of yours, you can go to Joey Xu and raise them in front of him, there’s no way I’m going to agree to you.”
She hadn’t agreed to it before, and then she was even less likely to agree to it after those assurances from the good book.
And today …
With a little baby in her belly that belongs to Joey Xu, it’s even more unlikely that she’ll give him up.
Sammy Jones dryly finished speaking and was about to hang up the phone directly. However, before he could press the hang up button, Zhao Yuanyuan’s voice came over, “Sammy Jones, you don’t have to be so agitated, I’m not here today to make you leave Joey Xu.”
Sammy Jones frowned.
What the hell is Zhao Yuan Yuan selling?
“Because, there’s no need for you to take the initiative to leave him!” Zhao Yuanyuan’s words were full of pleasure and smugness, “I’m telling you, Joey Xu will be able to come out tomorrow, and today my dad is already looking for someone to do all the paperwork.”
Joey Xu will be out?
Sammy Jones had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
What did Joey Xu promise her that she would agree to fish him out?
“Know why my dad was willing to help him out?” Jo asked with a smile.
Sammy Jones gripped his cell phone tightly, “As long as he can come out, as for the reason … sorry, Ms. Zhao, I don’t want to know at all. If you’re okay, I’ll hang up now.”
Before she hung up, Zhao Yuanyuan snatched, “He promised me that as long as he gets through this safely, he’ll immediately end his romantic relationship with you!”
Sammy Jones froze for a split second.
Zhao Yuanyuan’s words were so certain, so believable, and there was no sign of lying at all. It was as if every word was true …
Heart, tightly gripped together. However, on the surface of the mountain, she just laughed coldly, “Do I look that stupid? So stupid that if you casually say something, I will easily believe you? If you want to use this way to separate us, I advise you to save your breath!”
“Divorce?” Zhao Yuan Yuan disdained, “I had guessed you would think that, so, I recorded it for you. Sammy Jones, listen to what Joey Xu has to say!”
Sammy Jones’s heart was shaking.
On the other side of the phone, there was the sound of button keys, apparently Zhao Yuanyuan was flipping through the recording. Her breath hitched, and without waiting for Zhao Yuanyuan to flip it over, she coolly said, “No need, I trust Joey Xu! don’t need these things from you at all.”
After saying that, without waiting for the other party to say anything else, she hung up the phone decisively.
Not knowing where that feeling of panic in her heart came from, she hung up the phone and then flew back and turned it right off.
After getting into the cab, my heart was particularly messed up. In his mind, what went back and forth was Zhao Yuanyuan’s words.
To end the relationship with her …
Did Joey Xu really say that?
She did believe him, but perhaps the heart of a pregnant woman is always sensitive. Looking at the scenery that passed before her eyes, the tip of her nose couldn’t help but become a little sour.
Sammy Jones no longer had the heart to go to Andrea Jones’ place or back to the firm.
The good mood that had come because of the child was gone by this moment.
She made herself dinner and was halfway through when she threw up again from the smell of the fumes. This time, it was a little heavier than in the morning; she hadn’t eaten anything all day, and as a result, her stomach was now empty, but she couldn’t eat anything more.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, feeling the whole empty house, I just felt an indescribable loneliness.
She gently stroked her belly, thinking that there was her own flesh and blood there, the gloom in her heart finally lifted a bit. The moment she closed her eyes, she remembered the words that Shanben had brought to her that day.
–He’s never changed and he never will.
So …
Joey Xu, you must not say anything about ending it with her …
It must be Zhao Yuan Yuan lying to her …
It has to be!
She told herself this over and over again, reassuring herself, and didn’t know what time she tossed and turned before she finally fell into a weary sleep.
Dream on.
She slept uneasily.
Maybe it was because of what Joey Xu said to her, she had a nightmare. In her dream, she only saw Joey Xu’s back, with his back to the light, together with his back to her. She cried and called out to him, but, he didn’t even look back, instead, he took another girl and left.
And that girl, no one else, was none other than Zhao Yuanyuan.
“No! Don’t! Don’t do this to me!” She murmured dreamily, with a sob.
hand, waving it haphazardly in the air, as if trying desperately to grab Joey Xu.
In her dream, a large, warm palm suddenly clasped her small, cold hand. She vaguely saw the handsome face that couldn’t be more familiar.
So strange …
Didn’t he just leave with Zhao Yuanyuan? Why did he suddenly come back now?
Sure enough, a dream is a dream.
But it’s a beautiful dream.
Tears, all of a sudden, slipped from the corner of the eye. In her dream, gripping the big palm hard, she murmured over and over again, “Joey Xu, don’t leave me … I don’t want you to go! Don’t allow you and Zhao Yuanyuan to go …”
In her dream, she abandoned all that reserve and pride and let out all the panic, anxiety, aggression and loss that had gathered in her heart over the past few days.
“Good girl, don’t cry … I’m right here and I’m not going anywhere …”
Joey Xu’s voice, filled with pity. Her fingers, almost pinched into his flesh, yet, he didn’t feel any pain at all, instead, he backhanded her and held her tighter.
Soft lips, kissing the back of her hand over and over again, “I’m sorry for scaring you again. However, I promise you, in the future, this will never happen again. Good girl … don’t cry anymore …”
He bent his head and wiped away her tears.
The gentleness of those fingertips made Sammy Jones cry ‘wow’ even harder. She sat up from the bed in a flash and opened her arms to hold him firmly.
Joey Xu sighed helplessly, even more distressed, cupped her face and kissed her tears away one by one, “Why are you crying more and more instead? I’m not here these days, aggrieved?”
“It’s not …” Sammy Jones buried her face deep in the crook of his neck as she greedily inhaled his scent deeply, “I miss you so much… … Joey Xu, I wish you were here in front of me right now and could talk to me properly. I also also hope that all this is not a dream … But, where the hell are you now? Do you know that I really need you right now …”
As she spoke, she seemed to get angry and threw up her fist and pounded it on his chest.
He was, visibly, stunned.
Pushing her away from his arms slightly by an inch, he bent his head to look at her. Her tearful eyes were full of aggression and accusation, and Joey Xu suddenly smiled as he watched.
What a stupid woman …
Heartbreakingly stupid women …
“What are you laughing at?” Sammy Jones got annoyed and wiped his eyes, “I’m in excruciating pain and you’re laughing!”
“For what pain?” The smile in Joey Xu’s eyes deepened, somewhat gangly. Grabbing her hand, he brought it to his lips and kissed it heavily again, his eyes locking onto her expectantly, “Thinking about what I want?”
Sammy Jones reddened his eyes again, “I’m worried about you. Joey Xu, since you sent me a dream, tell me, how are you doing? Can you come out? And …” she sniffled, “Are those things that Zhao Yuanyuan said, are they the truth?”
Joey Xu embraced her tightly with pain and amusement, sighing, “Fool, what am I supposed to do with you?”
Sammy Jones was a little puzzled.
His hand, fell on her waist. When she was slightly stunned, he suddenly tightened his arm, and once he bent his head, he suddenly planted a kiss.
Sammy Jones had a momentary moment of confusion.
And then …
Her lips and teeth were pried open in a domineering manner, and her hot, wet tongue ran directly into her mouth. Eager and strong …
And …
The touch, the heat, even the scent, all so real, not like in a dream.
“Idiot, kiss and close your eyes!” Joey Xu warned her in a grim tone as his breath caught slightly.
As if snapping out of it, she backed away from his lips in an instant.
Her eyes locked on him.
He had a smile in his eyes, “Finally awake?”
“It’s really you? I … wasn’t dreaming?” Sammy Jones was dumbfounded for a split second before he thought that those reactions he just had were really stupid.
Oh, my God!
She was dumb enough to think …
Joey Xu’s smile deepened and he grabbed her hand, “I didn’t realize until now that … I was so important to you …”
Sammy Jones looked at her and stared. And then …
Eyes red.
In the next instant, she suddenly clutched his shoulder, pounced over, and took a bite on his shoulder. The sudden attack caused him to bare his teeth in pain, she was genuinely angry, so she didn’t leave any room for error at all.
He didn’t push her away, letting her vent so much, and, with one hand, held her slender body close.
“I’m sorry, Sammy Jones … I’d like to tell you everything so you don’t worry so much, but this is a big operation and I signed a confidentiality agreement with the relevant authorities … ”
“Do you have any idea how worried I was!” Sammy Jones questioned with a whimper as the force of his bite slackened a bit.
“I know, I know it all.” Lower jaw, heartbreaking against the top of her head, he returned to her over and over.
“Joey Xu, tell me, did you really help Boss Bear to launder money.” Sammy Jones sat up straight and looked at Joey Xu. his eyes, washed by tears, became brighter and brighter with urgency, as if he couldn’t wait for him to give him a response.
