Chapter 44: Caught in the Act!
Huling Na-update:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I turned around, shocked and touched. Antoninus was standing behind me. "This was constructed according to your drawings. Take a look and see if there's anything that needs adjustment. It's better to make changes now before it's fully built and becomes more troublesome."
So, he took my drawings to build this?
My nose suddenly tingled, and my eyes welled up with tears again. "Thank you..."
I gently touched the dream-like little wooden house, my heart filled with a mix of emotions. "Can I take it back with me?"
Antoninus didn't understand. "What do you mean?"
I said, "Can I bring it to my bedroom?"
I thought it would be lovely to wake up and see it every day!
Antoninus hesitated, then inquired with the workers and designers nearby about the materials used and if they were safe. After some more conversation I didn't pay attention to, my focus remained on this beautiful little house.
I saw a few figurine models beside the wooden ho

Due to Roman's words, I couldn't focus on the game the entire time. I anxiously watched the entrance gate. But Roman seemed quite happy."Lily, would you be my cheerleading captain?""No, I'd rather watch from the audience."However, Roman completely ignored my refusal and dragged me onto the field."Lily, please help me! I can't win the championship without your help."His pleading words made it impossible for me to continue refusing. I had to reluctantly go along with him to his teammates.Honestly, Roman was truly charismatic! He was incredibly popular among students at school, with his path to the field blocked by his "fans."And his cheerleading squad was quite extensive, and every member was stunningly beautiful. Roman placed me in the midst of them and joked, "Do you need me to prepare a cheerleading uniform for you, my captain?"I glanced at the sexy squad members next to me and quickly shook my head."No, these

Roman provocatively glanced at Antoninus. "Cheer for me! I'll prove that his appearance on the court was a huge mistake.""Don't do this!" I reminded him, "You should remember that the match between you two is just an exhibition, right?"The purpose of an exhibition match is to liven up the atmosphere; how could they be competing seriously?But Roman gently caressed my face. He said, "The next match is a friendly match. However, unfortunately, there's no friendship between me and our Mr. President."Saying this, he picked up his racket and walked onto the court. Antoninus was also ready for the challenge.The two of them played back and forth on the court, dazzling the spectators and prompting continuous cheers from the stands. However, I watched with great unease.Their stances were nothing like an exhibition; it was more like a battle. Roman was serving directly at Antoninus's body each time!He treated the tennis ball as if it were

His wound had clearly opened up again.On his black suit, you could faintly see the fresh stains of red blood.By the time we got back into the car, his dress shirt was completely soaked with sweat.As I removed his clothes and re-dressed his wound, tears couldn't help but stream down my face.But he was still smiling.He leaned wearily against the window, then, after a moment, he reached out and touched my chin with a smile.I glared at him resentfully, "What are you doing?"He showed me the transparent tear he had just wiped from my face, "Sorry, I never knew you liked crying so much.""I cry because...""Because why?"I turned my face away in annoyance, "It doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with you!"But even though I said that, the guilt inside me was growing stronger.I wiped away my tears forcefully and apologized, "Anyway, I'm sorry for coming to watch this match without telling you."

Antoninus was injured, but he still decided to continue working as usual. For the country, it was a good thing, but for me, it was different. Because he got hurt for my sake, I had to act as his temporary servant for these two days.During meals, his hand wasn't able to hold a fork properly, so I had to cut the steak into bite-sized pieces and feed him. While he worked, I had to sit beside him and assist him in his tasks. The President's work was dull, tedious, and incredibly boring."Next page," Antoninus said.I moved the mouse and told him, "Could you please add 'please'? I'm a person, not an emotionless tool. Thank you!"So, three minutes later, he spoke again, "Continue scrolling down, please."I rolled my eyes and threatened, "Antoninus, one day I'll make everything I see public. Then you can be charged with leaking state secrets!"Antoninus glanced at me and calmly said, "These aren't classified documents, and besides, you wouldn't un
Pregnant With The Billionaire's Baby Chapter 49 - Sharing a Bed on the Plane
This was my first time flying on a commercial plane, and little did I know that I would actually get airsick! I had never felt nauseous before when flying on a helicopter. Was it because the plane's cabin was enclosed? Throughout the process of ascending, I clung to Antoninus's embrace, gripping his arm tightly, my eyes and ears hurting, and my stomach churning.Antoninus held me close and instructed Eric to fetch motion sickness medication. After taking the medicine, I rested my head on Antoninus's leg and fell into a deep sleep.When I woke up, there was a thin blanket draped over me. I rolled over and found myself face-to-face with his chin. Sensing my gaze, Antoninus looked down and asked, "Awake?""Mhm." I mumbled in response, pulling the blanket up to half-cover my face.He, however, pulled the blanket back down gently, saying, "It's time for a meal.""I'm not hungry.""You need to eat something, or you'll feel even worse."Anto
Pregnant With The Billionaire's Baby Chapter 50 - Approaching Danger
I hadn't anticipated that not only Roman, but also Mr. Marcus would be here. I felt danger creeping in and turned to escape, but Roman caught my wrist. "Lily, don't worry. You won't be harmed, I promise."I struggled to break free, glaring at him in anger. I felt like a foolish little fish, lured into danger's edge by the anglerfish's light.Roman led me forcibly in front of his father.Marcus gestured for Roman to step back. "Please, have a seat, Miss Lily.""No need, thank you."Stubbornly, I remained standing, refusing to budge.He still wore a smile. "This is our second meeting, isn't it?""Mr. Marcus, if you have something to say, just say it!"His eyelids twitched slightly. "Brave girl, I admire your courage. Let's have a straightforward conversation.""I have numerous businesses here—gold, jewelry, and some other things. But our President can't stand that I monopolize this land. So, he wants to use the natio
Pregnant With The Billionaire's Baby Chapter 51 - Fishing at Sea
Antoninus was a cautious person, yet he seemed to disregard Marcus's warning. Over the next few days, his schedule continued as usual. He kept meeting with the President and government officials of this country, even making time to visit neighboring nations. Strangely, Marcus didn't issue any more threats.Two days later, I saw Marcus on television. Armed assailants of unknown origin had attacked Marcus's gold mine. They occupied his mine and imprisoned the workers. He was now struggling with negotiations to resolve the situation. I strongly suspected this attack was related to Antoninus, but he never allowed me to inquire about these matters.Antoninus told me, "I have a day off tomorrow. Is there anything you'd like to do? I can accompany you.""I don't want to go anywhere."I hugged a pillow and lay on the bed, feeling somewhat downcast. I despised being caught up in these political whirlwinds. The visible and covert struggles, the conspiracies and mac
Pregnant With The Billionaire's Baby Chapter 52 - Kiss in the Sea
Roman sighed, "Lily, do you know? Sometimes, I really envy Antoninus.""Why would you envy him?"Roman didn't answer. Lately, he seemed to enjoy playing the silent game.I could sense that beneath his sunny demeanor, there was a cloud of hidden turmoil. I thought he might open up about his concerns, but after those words I couldn't hear, he didn't speak much about anything else.Until he brought me to a nearby island.As we disembarked, Marcus stood on the beach. His smile was as usual, but his eyes were bloodshot. I couldn't tell if it was from exhaustion or anger. Either way, this version of him was a bit unsettling.Marcus approached politely, helping me off the boat. "We meet again, Miss Lily."I asked, "So, what's your purpose in bringing me here?""Of course, I wanted to ask you to continue being a messenger.""Alright, what's your message?""Tell Antoninus, I'm willing to cooperate with him. I agree to shar

Pregnant With The Billionaire's Baby Chapter 174 Ending: The proclamation becomes the proposal
Once the hype is over, it's time to start preparing for our roving pitch. The first presentation was downtown. It's where the last parade was. Only this time it wasn't Antoninus in armor on the stage, it was me. He didn't show up, so I, the president's personal secretary, had to deliver his campaign message instead. I don't know much about Antoninus' politics, but at least I know what he did, and I have something to say about it. I don't know if the advertisements all over the street played a role, and when I took the stage to preach, the audience came to be particularly large. I even saw a lot of professional reporters and cameras standing in the audience. Good flow of propaganda, actually made a press conference sense. The dark camera came over, and I panicked for a while. However, I was more disturbed by the questions they asked. "How do you and the president know each other?" 'What? I suspect I misheard. But then someone asked, "I hear you and the president have a son

"Boss, I might need a favor from you." I said."No problem, go ahead."I said, "Antoninus's campaign has been delayed for a while, and I was hoping you could help us out."'Of course you can!Blake grinned and patted me on the shoulder, but sure enough, he was looking down and rubbing his hands. "But... You know, Lily, we don't do this kind of propaganda at this paper. So I'm afraid I can't help you directly. How about I give you the contact information of some of my colleagues, and you go find them?"I knew this was gonna happen.I sighed and stepped aside.Lucius, who was behind me, stepped forward and expertly pressed Blake down on the table, sneering, "Repeat what you just said?"Blake's face turned white. "You... Who are you? Lily! How could you do that?! I'll call security in!"I gave him a faint glance. 'Bark.'"I... Help me! Get me someone now! Security guard!"Just as he spoke, the door was pushed
Pregnant With The Billionaire's Baby Chapter 172 Run for him!
"Antoninus lost? What do you mean?" I asked him.Lucius replied vaguely, "The day you were taken by Roman, my duel with him ended." Four out of seven, I won.""Not two out of three?"lucius replied uncomfortably, "Never mind a few games, I won anyway.""Well," I said, "it's none of my business. It's just a game. I don't care if you win or lose.""You don't care about the result?""Of course not."A kid takes a game like that seriously!Lucius snorted, "That's what I thought."He stretched out and asked, "Do you have any food here? I'm a little hungry."He did not regard himself as a stranger at all, and had begun to dig in the refrigerator.Two people in a bunker suddenly burst into a dozen people, just preparing the ingredients can be exhausting.Fortunately, they were not idle, rushing to help wash vegetables and cut meat, almost pushed the table over.Even the meal was noisy.The fir

“Be careful!” I rushed to shield David behind me.Draw my gun.Aim.The dark figures gradually rose to their feet.They looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly shouted my name: "Lily?"This voice?Is it the Salamanders?I looked at the men in surprise as they came out of the shadows one by one.It was them.And the tall figure in the distance who was waving a crowbar to greet me was the bear."Why are you here?" I was pleasantly surprised.They were visibly agitated, too: "We're coming to save you.""But how did you find me?"I can't get any signal out of here.Did they call in satellite surveillance? Or infrared tracking?"No, no, none of that. The salamander vendor said, "We have the drawings, look at the coordinates and find it."The blueprints?I looked back at David. Didn't he say the drawings were gone?So, salamander, where did the
Pregnant With The Billionaire's Baby Chapter 170 Cave Ghost
“What's that noise?”I instinctively stood still and looked warily into the cave.David smiled and explained, "Don't worry, it's just some... Music in the background. Surely a dark cave needs some monsters, doesn't it?" 'What do you mean? I looked at him in even more shock. "Don't tell me you've been genetically modifying animals."Could it be that the depths of the cave are visiting cages stacked with animals, and the cages are filled with mutated monsters with hideous faces?Judging by his uncle's crazy ideas, it's not impossible.But David waved his hand and denied my guess: "This is a shelter. Not an outdoor adventure park. How could I really put some monsters in here? You may rest assured that you are perfectly safe here. ""So what was that sound?""I don't know..." David scratched his head and looked puzzled, "These are all audio files I downl

I looked at Antoninus on the screen and asked anxiously, "Does he have a good chance of reelection?""I don't know."I looked back in doubt.With all this surveillance, it's kind of bullying for him to say he didn't know.But David doesn't seem to know.He raised an eyebrow innocently and explained, "Well, his approval ratings are very high and he should have a good shot at re-election.""But?"But he doesn't seem to be running anymore."'Why?I was surprised. "Where did you get that information?"I know all about Antoninus. How could a workaholic totalitarian like him give up the presidency?David was still clueless: "Maybe it's you?""Me?"I'm not sure. Well, that's certainly the case according to the surveillance results. He spends half his time at his desk working and half looking at your pictures.""Oh," he said.My heart beat faster, but my face pretended not to care, "Then
Pregnant With The Billionaire's Baby Chapter 168 Monitoring Antoninus
"How can this be..." I know I'm not tied tight.I seriously doubt he strangled his hands like that on purpose.Sure enough, he looked up at me innocently again, his blue blue eyes blinking and blinking."All right," I said, "I'll untie you, but you have to give me a gun!""I don't have a gun.""Do you expect me to believe that?"I don't think a guy with his paranoid, cautious personality wouldn't have a few guns stashed around here."Say it! Where is the gun?"He smiled brightly again: "Under your bed, the floor closest to the wall is pry up.""Very good."I looked where he said, and sure enough I found two pistols under the floor.With a weapon in my hand and some relief, I unseated him from his chair.He still looked at me with a big smile. "You're not afraid I have a gun somewhere else.""Not afraid. One is enough for me."Shoot him or shoot yourself, but I won't give him another cha
Pregnant With The Billionaire's Baby Chapter 167 Anti-imprisonment
For the next few days, I just stayed in my room.I cooked for David every day, watched TV with him, and even chatted with him until late at night.Because I wanted him to let his guard down early, hoping he'd forget to close the door one time he left.But I really underestimated him.The man was indeed introverted and timid, but he was also sensitive and cautious, like a rabbit, a scheming rabbit with a soft exterior but a dark belly.He locked the door when he entered the room and made sure I was standing at least three metres away when he opened and closed the door.I think it's gonna take a few months before he's completely unwary of me.I can't afford to wait that long.I can't stand the fact that he provides me with everything I need to live here, like food, like clothes, including my underwear.I even had to give him my underwear to change.I'm really gonna go crazy if this keeps going on.Might as we
Pregnant With The Billionaire's Baby Chapter 166 Roman's Plan
"Well..." I nodded, as Antoninus had told me.Tiberius did all he could to restore the glory of his family, even though it drove his wife away and killed his only daughter.David sees that my face is fine and continues: "Mr Tibeirus chooses a quicker way to have a baby as soon as possible. One that doesn't require much cooperation from the president." .I probably guessed what he was going to say, and I bowed my head and listened.David said: "His father found a surrogate for him. That's you, isn't it?""That's right." I freely admitted, "I did have a child with him.""Chris. That's the name, isn't it?"I heard him say Chris's name and raised my eyebrows at him. "He's just a kid! What are you investigating him for?""I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Seeing my anger, David awkwardly began to wring his fingers, "I didn't mean to hurt him." I just feel sorry for you... I mean, innocent.""It's not something you should take on," he sa
