The CEO's Switched Bride Chapter 18
The next morning, I took the morning off and went to the police station where I was charged with stealing.The answer they gave me was that it was a misunderstanding and that the case was closed so the monitor was not checked.I refused to deal with it this way. My reputation was at stake.With my repeated request as well as the involvement of Dave yesterday, the police dared not neglect me. An officer then headed to the mall with me.We found the manager and requested for the surveillance video from yesterday. The manager immediately agreed only for us to find out that the monitor was broken!The manager then said in an exaggerating tone, "Oh, why is the monitor broken? Get someone to repair it immediately."At that moment, I understood that Lita might have known I would come back to check the surveillance video.Of course, the monitor couldn't be repaired. The so called repairer failed to get it back on after a long 'fix'.I didn't want to give up. After the police left, I went to

This time, I took this matter seriously. I began reading my period calendar and found that it had been more than a month since my last period. Moreover, I didn't take any measures when he made love to me on the wedding night.All of a sudden, a bad feeling arose in my heart.I asked Kim to go to the hospital with me and registered for the Department of Gynecology.When the result came out, my worse fear came to pass. I was pregnant for over 5 weeks."How could this be..." I looked at the result in front of me, feeling extremely complicated.Kim was different. She patted me on the shoulder and laughed, "Good job. Reed, it's said that a man's mood will be different if there is a child."'Never will I love you in my life.'As I stared at the result on the test sheet, Dave's words were reverberating in my ears, making me extremely complicated and sour.I didn't know what to do."Lita Defiant, what a small world."While I was lost in thoughts, Kim who was beside me called out the name of

I didn't know how long I had been sleeping. It wasn't until someone patted me on the shoulder that I woke up and said subconsciously, "I'm sorry, I'm getting to work now.""Puff." As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a man's chuckle next to my ear. When I turned around, I found that someone was standing behind me and he looked a little familiar...Staring blankly at him for a few seconds, I called out, "Haick?" I rubbed my sleepy eyes as I recognized him.He was Haick Grimm, a senior of mine at the same academy when I was in college. He was a well known genius among us. The lecturers spoke about his deeds every day. He was also the person I admired the most when I was in college.It was also him who had introduced me to do the internship here.I got up and asked happily, "What are you doing here?""I want to ask you the same question. Why are you here?" Haick raised his hand and helped me sort out the messy hair on my cheek, smiling gently and beautifully.I was a little embarrasse

Today, I had an appointment with my client at 5 o'clock. At about 4:30 pm, I packed my documents and headed for the entrance.As soon as I came out of the company's door, I saw Haick waving at me in a white sports car. I ran over and he said first, "You are going to see your client, right? Let's go. It happens that I am going the same way. I'll see you off."I knew that he was lying to me but I still got into his car.After getting in the car, I complained to him. "You are the general manager. Why didn't you tell me earlier?""What's the point of telling you?" Haick drove off while adding with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "No matter who I am, you are always my junior sister."His words sounded warm without any sense of distance.Soon, we arrived at the residential quarter where I had agreed to meet my client. I thanked him and got off the car. After watching the car leave, I entered the residential quarter in front of me.The project in my hand was related to the decoration o

After Dave left, I rested on the ground for a long time. Then I sent a message to apologize to Haick before heading upstairs.After I went upstairs, Kim was busy packing up her luggage. She said she was leaving to be trained abroad and would be away for a while.She patted my little belly and teased, "When I come back, you will have become a big bellied woman."I smiled bitterly.I secretly decided that I would leave the City when my belly became somewhat bigger................After Kim left, I hadn't seen Haick for a whole week. I was not sure whether he was angry or not.That week, due to working overtime and serious morning sickness, I was so weak that I had to go to the hospital to have a nutritious injection.After I finished a series of examinations, I went back to the doctors office.As soon as I entered the office, I heard a pregnant woman asking the doctor, "Doctor, how is my child?""My suggestion is that you should take a good rest." The doctor replied.I stood behind and

My reaction probably was beyond his imagination. Dave looked at me inquiringly for a long time and said, "Let's wait until the baby is born."We were both silent all the way.Dave wanted to send me back to his villa but I told the driver to send me back to Kim's address instead.Seeing that the car was about to arrive at Kim's house, I touched my flat belly and couldn't help asking, "Dave, what if I'm pregnant as well?""Abort it!" Dave answered without hesitation. In the end, he added in a cold tone, "You took the medicine last time. Never should you intend to have an illegitimate child to entertain my grandpa."I curled up the corner of my lips and said with a sad smile, "The contraceptive pills won't always be 100% successful."My statement seemed to make Dave nervous. He looked at my belly and asked, "Are you pregnant?""Take a guess." I looked at him with a calm face as I didn't reveal the answer to him.Dave looked at me and did not answer but there wasn't any joy on his face.

Haick didn't say anything when he saw Dave that day but he understood something when he saw Dave and Lita today.He took the initiative to help me out, "I just came back to the City and I didn't bring many clothes with me. I didn't have any friends so, I had to ask my junior sister to help me choose some clothes."I looked at him gratefully."Oh," Lita replied meaningfully and acted like a spoiled child to Dave as she said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."Dave just said, "It's okay." But his face didn't look good.After the meal, I was going to leave with Haick. I didn't expect that Dave would suddenly stop me, "Your husband is here, are you going to leave with another man?"Both Lita and I were stunned by his words.She looked at Dave and shouted coyly, "Dave..."Dave ignored her and continued, "I'll ask the driver to send you back."His tone was not up for negotiation.I dared not refuse him.In the end, I had no choice but to take Dave's car alone and head back to the company.By

As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, several policemen came over and said, "Reed Defiant, you've been charged with attempted murder. Please come with us."After saying that, they didn't even give me a chance to ask questions as they cuffed me on the wrist.It wasn't until I arrived at the station that I knew that Lita had disappeared after meeting her in the afternoon. The search team had been searching for her for few hours before they found her at about 10 p.m. at the foot of the mountain. At that time, she was already in a coma and seriously injured.The police guessed that she must have rolled down from the mountain.The reason why they found me was that I had a call with her last night and the last message before her disappearance was also shown to me.The words of the message read, "Reed, I've arrived. Where are you?"I was confused and immediately argued, "How could I have a call and message record with her? Are you kidding me? I've never contacted her. And I haven'

My heart pounded against my ribs as I took a shaky breath, trying to steady my emotions. But as I turned to face the guests, my family, my friends, and most of all, the man standing just a few steps away, my voice trembled with overwhelming emotion."This isn’t just Kim’s wedding," I finally said, my voice thick with unshed tears. "It’s mine too."Gasps filled the air, followed by a stunned silence. Then, all at once, the crowd erupted into excitement.I heard my mother’s joyful sob, saw Kelvin blinking in surprise before his face broke into a smile. Kim squeezed my hand, winking, and Desmond chuckled beside her. But my eyes weren’t on them.They were on Dave.He stood motionless for a moment, his eyes locked on mine. Then, with the help of his crutches, he began to walk toward me, determination in every step.When he finally reached my side, he lifted a hand to my face, his thumb brushing against my cheek.“You’re crying,” he murmured, his voice thick with emotion.I laughed shakily,

Dave surely wouldn't say no to Desmond.Seeing that Dave had personally agreed, Desmond couldn't be more joyful.Hearing Desmond's words, Dave lowered his eyes slightly. Falling silent for a moment, he didn't promise Desmond immediately.I knew what he was hesitant about.In his current situation, it was difficult for him to stand on stage. He might need a crutch.As I was about to refuse on behalf of him, Dave spoke first, "Okay, no problem.""Then I'm leaving. I won't bother you two anymore!"Hearing that Dave had agreed, Desmond left.After Desmond left, I said with some concern, "Desmond is one of us. If you are in a difficult position, tell him directly.""I know." Dave looked up at the rehabilitation equipment on the side and said, "But we agreed on this a long time ago. I can't let him down."It made sense. Desmond had always been by Dave's side.They two should have agreed on this early.Dinner was a quiet affair, but in the best way possible. The kind where words weren’t alw

Dave and I lived in the town for a while.When we lived together, Dave would make love to me against my will with the excuse that it would be conducive to the recovery of his legs.Frequently, we didn't go to bed until the middle of the night. I was so exhausted that I didn't even know when he had gone to rehabilitation in the morning.One and a half months later, Dave's legs had recovered to a great extent. He could walk for a short distance without a crutch.On the last day of the rehabilitation training, the doctor told us in the rehabilitation room that Dave could return to the City, saying that he could finish the rest of the rehabilitation training at home.Hearing this, Dave bought flight tickets on the same day.We went back and packed up our things before setting off.The next night, Dave and I landed at the airport.After going back home, Dave and I didn't get Bryan back to our side for the time being. Dave had been quite busy because of his work.He worked overtime after m

Teresa walked gracefully and looked at us, asking, "What happened?"She looked as if she was watching a good show. From this, I knew that she surely had been eavesdropping inside for a while and that she surely had known what had happened by this time.Having been in contact with Teresa for a long time, these people were naturally close to her.Hearing her question, everyone told her what had happened.Teresa looked at me with an unconcealable smile on her face, saying to me, "People in this town are clean and simple. How can you act the same way as you did in the City? You are a discredit here.""He gave me the key." I defended myself.Teresa surely wasn't convinced as well, saying, "Even if you are lying, you have to make up convincing lies. Everyone knows that you and I are both kept outside here. He probably doesn't even know that you are here. How would he give you the key?"As Teresa spoke, she had a smug look in her eyes.Sure enough, after she finished her words, the ones arou

Picking up my cutlery and taking a bit of rice, I said, "I'm leaving tonight. I'll come see you every night in the future.""Why?"Hearing this, Dave was a little puzzled.I chuckled, "I won't tell you! Anyway, don't let others know that I've been here."I didn't tell him why. However, Dave was so smart. Seeing my expression, he immediately said, "You want to keep her in the dark, right?"I nodded.Since Teresa had put in so much effort to put on a show, I naturally wouldn't let her act in vain.He nodded.However, when I left, I didn't climb over the wall again. Dave found someone and gave me a key to the back door locked all year round.I left through the backdoor.The next morning, I went to the hospital as usual.Teresa wore a blue and white dress with knee length today.Sitting on the opposite side of the road, she stared at the hospital door in a daze.When I went over, Teresa looked up at me and said with a hint of disdain, "I thought you were gone.""No, I didn't."There was a

A long time seemed to have passed since we made love. However, Dave was quite familiar with my body. Hooking my arms around his neck, I looked at him and said, "I want you."I rarely said so.At this moment, I knew that by seeing what I did and hearing my words, Dave could be infinitely confident.Raising his head, Dave hadunconcealable excitement in his eyes.Reaching out and pushing aside the strands of hair on my cheeks, he said, "You have me.""You have me."After he said so, the ambiguous and warm atmosphere permeated the room.By the time I opened my eyes again, day...Someone outside knocked on the door. A nurse seemed to be calling Dave to do the rehabilitation training.I looked at Dave sleeping soundly beside me with my face slightly blushed. Last night, we had been making love for a long time. Dave seemed to have inexhaustible strength. One or two hours had passed only since we went to bed.Dave, like me, heard what the nurse had said outside. Without opening his eyes, he

After I entered the room, it was dark inside with the curtains drawn. I couldn't see anything.Wondering where Dave was, I was sure that he surely had fallen asleep.I reached out to fudge around, trying to figure out the situation inside the room.All of a sudden, I ended up touching a soft and sturdy body.I was shocked.Then, I heard Dave say, "Leave quickly. Or I'll call a bodyguard."His voice was cold and emotionless.I couldn't help but shudder.I suspected that the bodyguard had betrayed me.As I was about to say something, I heard him say, "You surely know the situation of Michaelson Group well. With a phone call from me, Michaelson Group will close down tomorrow. At that time, you may not even afford to return to the City."It turned out that he mistook me as Teresa.Sensing that he was standing, I wondered whether Dave's legs had been healed."You... ""It's me."As Dave was about to speak again, I reached out and hugged him directly.While hugging him, I touched something

Kim picked up the call and spoke in surprise over the phone, "You are making an international call.""I have something to tell you." Looking at the desktop wallpaper on my computer screen, I thought for a moment before saying, "Yesterday, I learned that Teresa and Dave might have a son and that he should be about the same age as Bryan.""What?"I could strongly sense Kim's surprise over the phone so I moved the cell phone a little further away from me.Kim continued, "That's impossible. What the hell is this? Didn't he ever tell you about this?"Holding the cell phone, I shook my head, "No, I knew it yesterday. And now I'm in a mess.""Well, regarding this..." Kim said over the phone, "In my opinion, you should ask Dave about this by yourself. After all, Teresa is good at disguising herself. You don't even know whether she is telling the truth or not. Nobody knows that she, who is a high ranking socialite in the City before, is a shrew in private, right? You'd better confirm with Dave

I looked left and right.The wall guarding the hospital was made up of ordinary brick. It was only more than two meters high. In fact, the wall couldn't be of any deterring effect at all.After thinking for a moment, I said to the bodyguard, "Since you won't let me in, I'll go. Please don't tell Dave that I've come here, okay?"The bodyguard didn't know that I probably would make other moves.If he knew, I wouldn't have any chances at all.Looking at me, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.Fearing that he promised me nominally, I put my palms together devoutly and pleaded, "Please don't tell him.""Well, I won't."The bodyguard promised once again.Only after that was I rest assured.Seeing that I came out, Teresa stood at the door and looked sarcastic, "I originally thought you would be greatly respected. It turned out that you were kept outside as well."Looking at Teresa, I wasn't angry, asking, "Miss Teresa, you are a socialite in the City. I remember when we first met, you talk
