He looked solemn and gripped her hand tightly, “I promised you that I wouldn’t get involved in the underworld again. And, I also said I would give you a peaceful life.”
So …
He didn’t?
Only at this moment, after receiving his affirmation, did Sammy Jones really breathe a long sigh of relief. Suspended heart, finally fell back to the original place.
With things settled, Sammy Jones took the time to examine him. But it had only been a few days since he’d seen him, but it seemed like ages.
But, well, he didn’t lose weight or become emaciated.
There is comfort in the heart.
“Back so late, have you had dinner?”
Joey Xu shook his head. “Haven’t had time yet. After capturing Boss Bear and bringing him to justice, I rushed back.”
“He was arrested and brought to justice?” Sammy Jones was taken aback, “Didn’t Zhao Yuan Yuan say that she had already found a way to bring him out?”
And, that’s what Le Mei said.
“It’s a long story.” Joey Xu said, “In short, this time it was just me working with the police to set up a trap for him to get into. The black money passed through my hands once and then was given to the police as evidence, and he was fished out by Joey Xu, adding another charge of fleeing from the police.”
Joey Xu picked his lips, “Capture the ins and outs of this black money, and all his past crimes will be brought to the bottom. As you know, the government is working on fighting the blacks these days, and it’s best for the higher-ups to take credit for him.”
“The government is bound to make an example of him, and if there are no surprises, all his past crimes combined together, plus this one, life imprisonment is inevitable. If it’s more serious, the death penalty is also possible.”
“This is exactly what I wanted.” Joey Xu held her hand, firm, strong.
Later …
His life with Sammy Jones would finally be uneventful, peaceful, and no one would ever hurt her again.
“Forget all that for now, thank goodness you’re back!” Sammy Jones got off the bed, “Go take a quick shower and I’ll cook you some noodles. I didn’t have anything to eat in the evening, so we’ll eat together.”
Now that Joey Xu is back, she can work up an appetite.
“Good.” Joey Xu nodded and watched as she put on her pajamas and turned to walk into the kitchen.
It was a very small space, and the way she was busy gave him an indescribable warmth in his heart.
This, supposedly, is home …
He lifted his lips and smiled away, rummaging through her cupboard for the pajamas he’d left behind and turning to walk into the bathroom.
After worrying for such a long time, Sammy Jones is finally relieved now, and the whole person feels relaxed. Sammy Jones covered his mouth and went straight to the restroom like a whirlwind.
Days!
It’s just too painful to throw up like that!
The other day it was just feeling a little nauseous, not nearly as bad as it was today. Besides, when Andrea Jones was pregnant, she hadn’t seen her throw up as much as she had.
Joey Xu happened to have just turned off the sprinkler and tugged on a large towel to wipe his wet body when the sound of Sammy Jones vomiting came from outside, and he frowned, not caring about anything else, and rushed out with the towel wrapped under him.
Breaths were held at the sight of Sammy Jones puking on the toilet seat lid.
“How are you? Gastrointestinal discomfort? I’ll take you to the hospital!” Without saying anything, Joey Xu picked her up from the ground. At this moment, he was still only wrapped in a bath towel! He couldn’t care less, striding out the door, not forgetting to instruct her, “Take the door key.”
“No, Joey Xu. you gotta put me down, I’m gonna throw up again.” Sammy Jones was blushing.
“Damn it, what’s wrong with you?”
“I’m fine, really. It’s not like it’s been like this for a day or two, it’s been like this for a couple days now.”
“How dare you say that!” Joey Xu had fire in his heart, his face was ugly, blaming her and himself, “You stupid woman, how on earth did you toss yourself around during the two days I was away?”
I can’t believe you have the audacity to say it hasn’t been a day or two!
Joey Xu was even more annoyed that he wasn’t around when she was having a hard time. Refusing to put her down, he only crouched down with her in his arms and grabbed the door and car keys from the coffee table.
The anxiety and worry on his face was clear. Sammy Jones looked at it and suddenly smiled.
“Joey Xu, you’re so stupid …,” she lamented.
How could she let Zhao Yuanyuan give up with those few words from a man who worried about her like that and held her on the tip of his heart?
Fortunately …
He never failed her, never really stepped into the mob …
“Yes, I’m stupid, I should have gotten all this out of the way earlier and come back sooner.” Joey Xu answered, already walking to the door and not changing his shoes, only saying, “Come on, open the door. I’ll walk you to Dr. Chen’s place.”
Sammy Jones doesn’t open the door, just hugs his neck and looks up at him with a smile.
He was offended, “And you’re laughing!”
“Is Dr. Chan a jack of all trades? He’s also in charge of obstetrics and gynecology, huh?”
“What gynecology and obstetrics? You’re having gastrointestinal problems. And yeah, he can’t see the bowels either, we still need to go to the hospital!”
This stupid man!
The smile in Sammy Jones’ eyes deepened and he embraced him tighter, “Didn’t you hear me? I said-”
“I’m not counting gastroenterology right now, this is obstetrics and gynecology! Obstetrics and gynecology, got it?”
“Obstetrics and gynecology?”
Joey Xu was confused for a moment, seemingly thinking hard. And then, the furrowed brow gradually relaxed, instantly switching from the worry that he had just felt, and replacing it with excitement and ecstasy.
“You … have it?” His voice was shaking with excitement and his face was all disbelief.
Sammy Jones cracks a smile too, “Uh-huh. Went to the hospital today …”
“God!” He was ecstatic, his eyes reddening, “You’re having my baby? I, Joey Xu, am going to be a father?”
She nodded again. This joy, this surprise, becomes more and more amazing because of the person who shared it. Sammy Jones follows suit with wet eyes, “Joey Xu, this is our baby … I’m going to be a mom.”
Joey Xu was so ecstatic that he almost threw her up. She shrieked, “Don’t, Joey Xu! I’m two people now, you can’t mess around!”
“Yes yes yes!” Joey Xu was scared to death and answered in a series of answers, hurriedly setting her down on the sofa, “Sit properly, don’t move the fetus.”
He moved carefully and nervously, as if she was now a piece of glass that would shatter at the slightest touch.
“This is becoming too fast for you.”
“What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”
“You do?” Sammy Jones’ lips twitched, “Do you do it?”
“Try to come. You are now two people, how can you not eat anything?” Joey Xu thought about it for a while, but still said, “Forget it, you won’t be able to eat anything I make. Let’s pack up, you come back to the villa with me and let Sister An make you something delicious.”
He stood up and went to get his cell phone while saying, “Also, we have to have Sister An prepare a nutritious meal for pregnant women right away, you’re so skinny right now, you need to hurry up and make up for it. Otherwise, turn around and have a hard time giving birth.”
“… You say the wind is the rain, don’t need to be so nervous, I didn’t lose any weight!” Sammy Jones is so helpless.
But, of course, Joey Xu couldn’t hear her.
Over there, the phone was already connected, and he quickly droned on, his handsome brows all soaring, “Yes, Sister Ann, now prepare something nutritious. Just prepare it according to Sammy Jones’ preferences. Right, some what pregnant women can’t eat food, you pick out … Also, in these few days, you prepare all the nutritional menus for pregnant women as soon as possible, and in the future, every meal will be made according to the menu – Yes, that’s right, she is pregnant! Before long, I’m going to be a father!”
Toward the end, Joey Xu’s tone was full of pride and excitement.
Sammy Jones looked at him so helplessly, and at the moment, he was so happy that he was just short of dancing around. A man in his thirties, but he still couldn’t hide that childishness.
She smiled, rubbing her flat belly. She was sure that this BABY would have a good, good daddy.
After that …
Sammy Jones was indeed dragged back to the villa by Joey Xu.
Joey Xu trembled with fear, even as she squatted on the floor to pack her bags. In the end, Sammy Jones simply enjoyed the privilege, sitting large on the couch and directing him around here and there to pack her things.
It was also a way of punishing him for leaving without a word the last few days.
Then, seeing him sweaty, Sammy Jones couldn’t stand it again. No longer making a scene, he finally followed him obediently to the car.
Joey Xu feels that having a child makes any mind strange.
Like right now …
Driving the car and thinking of her beside me, pregnant with her baby in the passenger seat, made me so careful and drive extremely sure.
When the car drove halfway, Joey Xu’s cell phone, which he had put aside, suddenly rang.
He didn’t move, driving intently and carefully, and only spoke to Sammy Jones, “Check for me, who’s calling.”
Sammy Jones picked it up, and the screen didn’t show the name of the person, but the string of numbers still struck her.
With a sideways glance, at him, she said, “I think it’s Jo Yuanyuan.”
And then, splashing not a taste, she added, “Before you came back, she told me that you promised her to end the relationship with me before she agreed to save you from it.”
Joey Xu looked at her with a smile, “That’s true she didn’t lie to you. Plug in my headphones for me, I’ll listen to this call, I’d like to see what she and Xia Feiqing are playing at.”
What do you mean, ‘that’s not a lie’?
So says …
He actually said that to Jo Yuanyuan?
Sammy Jones was not amused, his eyes glaring through him. Yet, in his hands, he dutifully helped him put on his Bluetooth headset.
With one hand on the steering wheel and the other soothingly holding her hand, he grabbed it over and rested it on his lap. “Good girl, I’ll explain it to you after I listen to the call first.”
Sammy Jones helped him press the call button. Over there, came Zhao Yuan Yuan’s voice, “Joey Xu, are you home yet?”
“Uh, just heading back now.” He responded briefly.
“Oh. That day when we were in the detention center, you promised me that you wouldn’t go back on your word, right?” Zhao Yuanyuan was uneasy and called so late to follow up.
Joey Xu thought it was funny, the corners of his lips picking up with palpable sarcasm.
However, the words that came out were, “Don’t worry, the words that I said I would marry you in the past were not honored. This time I promise you, I will do what I say.”
“After all, I got out this time thanks to your help.”
“It’s best if you can think this way.” Zhao Yuanyuan’s tone had a few moments of delight in it, “Joey Xu, Dad said … that from now on you and us will be a family, and it’s thanks to you that Dad was promoted this time. So, tomorrow night we will organize a family banquet, you … should be there, right?”
Zhao Yuanyuan wasn’t quite sure and asked tentatively.
But, in fact, Joey Xu had to come even if he said yes or no. She held this handle in her hand and could hand him over to the police for a new conviction at any time, so there was no room for him to choose at all.
“Got it, don’t worry, I’ll be on time.”
Joey Xu, however, did not hesitate for a moment, cleanly promised her, and then, hung up the phone directly.
