"No… I'm not hurt."Lisa stared at her boyfriend who had just appeared so suddenly and asked him, "How did you know I was here?"She did not remember ever telling him exactly where she was!"You're one to ask!" he snapped. Lisa had screamed suddenly when they were still on the phone, and Terry could clearly hear the voices of men shouting and yelling in the background, and he had almost panicked.But just then, the little idiot had hung up the phone, and she would not answer no matter how many times Terry called her after that. He was so distressed that his whole body had broken out in cold sweat. He could only base her location on what she had mentioned in passing–that she was at a food stall by the roadside. He had flown to the area with lots of food stalls which should have been a twenty-minute journey, but he had made it in only ten minutes–he was not even sure how much he would have to pay later for the speeding tickets!"Next time," he reminded her, almost half-shouting, "if
On the way to the police station, Lisa recounted everything that had happened at the food stall to Terry. As he listened to her, his eyebrows furrowed. It looked like he owed Jackson's two bodyguards for saving the day today, otherwise, the three women might never have escaped the thugs at all!"Should I hire bodyguards to protect you as well?" he asked."No!" Lisa refused right away. "I don't want that! It would only suffocate me! I'd feel like I'm being watched all the time, and that's really uncomfortable!""But…"Lisa raised her hand and said, "I swear that the next time I'm in danger, I'll call you immediately! Cross my heart and hope to die!"The sight almost made Terry burst out laughing.Once they reached the police station, Serenity took up the task of reporting what had just happened to the police. She even showed them the voice recording in her phone before handing the three men over to the authorities.Once all the paperwork was done, Lisa turned to her friend and sa
The corners of Serenity’s lips were upturned. With a smile, she replied, “Alright, understood.” Lisa was like a ball of light in this dark world to her. Whenever she felt down or lost, Lisa would always pull her along, and she had never lost faith in her. Lisa and Terry got into their car while Serenity entered the black Bentley. Lisa watched as the Bentley drove off before she grunted to Terry, who was seated next to her, “Alright, let’s go.” He proceeded to drive away from the police station. “Where do you want to go next?” he asked her. “Home, of course. Where else can we go?” replied Lisa with a bored tone. “If you’re not in a good mood, why don’t we watch a movie to cheer you up?” he suggested. “Forget it. A movie’s not gonna cheer me up. The only thing that could cheer me up would be seeing you do a striptease,” Lisa blurted out unwittingly. She remembered vaguely that Terry had done such a thing, but because she had been flat-out drunk, she struggled to recollect her
“Well… not yet! I’m just wondering if I’m pregnant or not,” explained Lisa hastily. She shifted her body uncomfortably when she noticed Terry’s unmoving stare on her belly. “I’ve missed my period this month,” she added.Terry contemplated in silence. If what she was saying was true, these really were the symptoms of a pregnancy. But if she was pregnant, then he…“We’ll find out if you’re pregnant at the hospital tomorrow,” he said. The thought of having to do a pregnancy blood test at the hospital sent prickles through Lisa’s scalp. “Umm, maybe we can start with a pregnancy stick first? We’ll find out either way, right?” “...” Terry stared silently at her. “Are you afraid of needles?” Lisa nodded honestly. “Let’s buy a pregnancy kit later if we pass by a pharmacy. You know what, let’s buy a few from different brands, just to make sure.” And so, Terry drove over to a pharmacy and bought one of each pregnancy test kit that they were selling. The woman working the cashier ga
“Did I let you down?” asked Lisa with a sniffle. With a smile, Terry replied, “It’s not like you can help it. If you’re not pregnant, so be it. We just have to wait a while before we have kids of our own. You can come out now.” “I can’t!” yelled Lisa with a pained expression. “I’m on my period, but I didn’t bring any pads with me. Can you go out and buy them for me?” Terry’s face stiffened up immediately. “You’re asking me to buy you pads?” This was the second time his voice had cracked tonight. “Yeah! Unless you want me to bleed all over your floor.” To convince him, Lisa deliberately emphasized the word ‘bleed’.“I’ll get one of the servants to buy them,” said Terry. “No!” yelled Lisa. “It’s embarrassing to ask a servant to buy such a thing. Can’t you just help me buy it? You know, back in university, I always admired guys who could buy these things for their girlfriends. I even fantasized that one day, my future boyfriend would buy it for me.” Terry couldn’t wrap his he
Lisa suddenly realized what it felt like to be pampered. Now that she thought about it, aside from her parents, Terry was the only person she had met who was willing to go so far for her. She groaned and leaned back into the sofa. Terry noticed the pained expression on her face, so he couldn’t help but ask, “Does it hurt?” “Yeah,” she replied. “You men are so lucky that you don’t have to experience this every month.” Terry reached over and massaged her belly gently. “Does this make it better?” “Yeah, it’s good. Keep doing that,” urged Lisa. And so, the great patriarch of the White household sat there on the sofa, gently massaging his partner’s belly. Lisa, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying every second of it. She closed her eyes, and from time to time, she would mumble, “Mmh, don’t stop, keep going… ahh.” Terry was rendered speechless. Wasn’t she aware how easily she could cause a misunderstanding with the stuff she was uttering?! Of course, Lisa didn’t think that
“That's good.” Terry breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed the improvement in Lisa’s condition. The moment he knew of the pain she was going through just now, oh, how he wished he could bear the pain for her! He wanted to see Lisa being her usual cheerful and energetic self. He wanted to do all that he could to protect his precious Lisa. He continued rubbing her belly carefully with his large hands in hopes that it could relieve some of her pain. “I’m sorry for the false alarm about being pregnant. Are you sure… you weren’t disappointed when I told you I wasn’t pregnant?” she asked him. “I wasn’t disappointed at all. In fact, I wouldn’t be disappointed whether or not you were pregnant. That’s because I know we’ll definitely have children in the future, so it’s only a matter of when. It’s just…” After a brief pause, Terry continued, “When I found out you weren’t pregnant, I was finally able to stop panicking.” Lisa was stunned. She never expected he would openly admit
He seemed stunned.She went on to say, "If I... if I get pregnant one day and the White family's situation hasn't stabilized yet, you don't have to marry me right away. I'll give birth in secret and keep the child safe. We can wait until you think the situation is safe before we get married!"Terry froze. "You...""I'm not scared of gossip. It can't hurt me! All I want is to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to share with you not just the good times, but also the bad ones!" Lisa's voice was strong and her eyes were unwavering.Terry hugged Lisa tightly.His Lisa was stronger and braver than he imagined. He had underestimated her. He thought she was someone he had to protect, but he now realized that she could be strong and independent too!"I just realized how amazing the woman I love is!" Terry chuckled and said, "I'm so glad I fell in love with you!"He hoped for a bright future where he could give her a comfortable life, making her happy and free of worries.Sereni
