Chapter 481 Did He Ever Say He Liked You?

Author: Twin Bridge
She knew very well that if she asked Aurelia to call Sir Fergerson, Aurelia would definitely refuse.

However, if she could call Caleb and explain the situation to him...

Perhaps, just perhaps, Caleb might want to keep the child.

Even if that hope was extremely faint.

Aurelia frowned and lifted her chin.

“Take her in. I’ve already scheduled the surgery.”

“Madam Bailey…”

Aurelia’s tone was quite indifferent.

“Penny, what makes you think that calling Caleb will make him let you keep the child? Did he ever say he liked you?”

Penny was suddenly at a loss for words.

She did not have the strength to argue anymore. Her body was weak, and she could barely stand.

They walked through a secret passage. Using the influence of the Fergersons, Aurelia had her sent directly to the operating room.

Afraid that Penny might create a scene, Aurelia ordered the doctor to fully sedate her.

The doctor, who had cooperated with the Fergersons for many years, obeyed Aurelia’s instructions without qu

    Penny did not know how, but she got back to Dawn Haven Villa. Lying on the bed, her tears kept flowing, soaking the pillow beneath her head. Her body was slightly convulsing and trembling.Her hand tightly gripped the bedsheets. She bit her lip hard, not letting any sobs escape.Lucy knocked on the door.“Ms. Sullivan, I’ve made some soup for you. You should have some.”Lucy did not know what had happened. She only noticed that Penny’s complexion had been off for the past couple of days, as if she was sleep-deprived.Still lying on the bed and clenching her teeth, Penny quickly composed herself upon hearing Lucy’s words.“Aunt Lucy, I’m not hungry.”Thinking that Penny was just in a bad mood, Lucy sighed.“I’ll keep the soup warm for you. You can have it later if you feel like having a late-night snack.”“Okay.”Penny felt her throat hurt. She lay there for a while and then remembered the letter and the ring.Carefully, she took out the box. She read the letter while crying.

    In a conference room overseas.The meeting, initially set for a few hours, had been extended by three more hours.Everyone present could sense that Caleb was in a bad mood. He had a stern face throughout, which made everyone hesitant to speak out of turn.Caleb himself did not know why, but a feeling of irritation had suddenly washed over him. It caused him to lose some of his usual composure.However, he remained steadfast, staring at the displayed PowerPoint slides. After a long time, he finally said, “Meeting adjourned. Assign two people to discuss with the company on the other side.”The executives present all breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from their foreheads.Caleb stood up and strode out of the room.Sebastian followed closely behind him.Upon arriving overseas, Caleb had not even adjusted to the time difference and had gone straight to the conference room for the meeting. It had lasted until now.Even so, the overseas work was not yet finished. His eyes h

    It was true she had not started to like him yet. It was just a fleeting, minor flutter she felt back when he leaned over her, looking at her with eyes full of intimacy and conquest.Women were emotional creatures, especially when it came to matters of intimacy.They only engaged with those they found attractive, but men were different. They just needed a suitable occasion to act.Having realized this, Penny became calm.As she left the room and returned to the foyer, she saw that Aurelia had come again.Seeing her, Penny stiffened all over. She found it hard not to resent and hate that woman.Aurelia, however, maintained a haughty demeanor as she sized her up.“You’re recovering well. We used the best techniques and the best anesthesia on you.”Her implication was clear—Penny should be grateful to her.Aurelia did not elaborate, as Dawn Haven Villa was full of Sir Fergerson’s people.If someone spilled the beans to Sir Fergerson, she would not be able to hide what she did to

    Almost any woman who saw this colorful bracelet would be stopped in her tracks.“Sebastian," he called out.Sebastian promptly handed over the checkbook.Caleb asked, “How much?”“It’s 27 million dollars.”Caleb did not even blink as he wrote the check.The salesperson quickly and joyfully wrapped the bracelet in a very delicate box.This was the first time Caleb had personally purchased something. He usually left it to Sebastian to prepare.Now, Sebastian could not help but ask, “Sir, is this for Ms. Penny?”This casually gifted item was equivalent to a villa in Imperial City.Caleb’s body stiffened, and he turned his head away in an attempt to cover his reaction.“No.”Sebastian silently looked at him but did not expose the lie.Holding the gift in his hand, Sebastian was still handling the post-check matters on the side. Caleb then went to the second floor with a group of executives.The executives sighed in relief and continued their previous discussion.Caleb’s mood

    Caleb had just entered Sky Lounge. As the bright titanium lights overhead illuminated him, he realized he had just been racing with someone like Jeremy.He frowned slightly, and right at that moment, Jeremy walked in. He made a phone call to Penny.“Penny, I’ve sent you the address. Come over quickly.”Jeremy had greatly helped Penny with matters at Sullivan Corporation. In gratitude, she agreed to paint two paintings for him, and he got to choose the location where she would paint.Penny was genuinely grateful to Jeremy from the bottom of her heart. If Jeremy had not been involved in that incident, the company would have belonged to Charlotte.So when Jeremy called, she immediately grabbed her painting supplies and set off.On his end, Jeremy hung up and noticed that Caleb was still standing in place. He raised his eyebrows.“Are you attending the same gathering as me tonight, Mr. Fergerson?”In circles like theirs, running into each other was quite common.However, Caleb was

    Finally, Caleb understood what the fire that had been lingering in his heart since he first saw Jeremy was.It was jealousy.At the moment, hearing the crowd vividly discussing the pleasures of being with women in bed, he felt the air in the room becoming suffocating.Winston sensed his off mood tonight and patted him on the shoulder.“Shall we go?”Winston was used to the indiscretions of the crowd. They belonged in the same social circle. When they were being model citizens, they talked about stocks and business. But when the veneer was stripped away, the topics became less savory.This was not to demean anyone. It had nothing to do with family background or education either. It was just human nature.However, when Winston suggested they left, Caleb remained unmoved.Confused, Winston was about to ask what was going on when the door to the private room opened.

    Penny was displeased but was too shy to voice it out. Her body felt empty.“Are you happy that he’s back?” “No.” “Then, do you want me?” Penny bit her lip. He had caused sweat to break out across her body. Caleb’s phone rang. Finn was on the other end of the line. He answered the phone, and Finn’s voice rang out. “Imperial City is going to be in chaos tonight. The higher-ups are hunting for the results of Caspian's experiments, and even Uncle Shawn is getting involved in this. "He just called and told me that the higher-ups contacted him and basically forced him to agree to convince Caspian to give them the results. "Cas has also contacted the higher-ups himself and told them that unless Penny is by his side, the mental torture he was subjected to will stop him from recalling where he’s put the chip.” It was a matter of national security, and this was what Caspian was using as his bartering chip the minute he returned. There was no doubt the higher-ups would put a

    Penny had made it out of the room by then. Her face was deathly pale. “Penny!” Caleb ran after her and pulled her into his arms. He pulled her behind a pillar where no one could see them. Caleb knew what was going through her mind, and he held her face in his hands. She did not look at him. Her chest heaved as she struggled to process the truth. Caleb did not know what to say and merely brushed the tip of his nose against hers. When she did not resist, he slowly moved down and kissed her. He knew why Caspian had chosen this sort of appearance. Not only would he manage to devastate Penny, but he could also announce to everyone that he was Penny’s first love. That way, he could also cause Caleb to find himself in a sticky situation. However, Caleb could not care less. As he kissed Penny, he tightened his arms around her waist. Their breaths turned ragged as they continued kissing for another ten minutes. Finally, he rested his forehead on her shoulder. His back was slig

    Despite everyone staring at him, Caleb only had eyes for Penny. Penny did not know the reason behind that, and her brows were knitted together tightly as she watched Caspian make his way down from the second floor. He took the ring from the host and placed it before her solemnly. “I’m here to fulfill my promise, Penpen.” Penny wanted to smack his hand away, but he slowly bent over and smiled as he took her hand. He tried to put the ring on her finger, but his actions were stopped by someone else. He looked in the direction where the hand had come from, and his gaze met Caleb. “Long time no see, Caleb.” Caleb pulled Penny from her seat into his arms. She was left with no choice but to sit on his lap. Caleb could not care less about whatever sort of tricks Caspian would pull. If he allowed Caspian to put that finger on Penny’s finger, he would change his last name! Penny wanted to struggle out of his grasp, but the warmth of his body caused her to stop. He was still

    Some people were speculating if they had gotten back together again, and some were even wondering if Caleb was blind. Why did he pass on Khloe Strauss and choose a designer who did not come from a prestigious family? No matter how well Penny ran her company, these people would still view her as a lowly designer fighting to make a name for herself in the market. She ignored everyone else’s stares and merely took a piece of tissue. She turned slightly to wipe the sweat from Caleb’s forehead. Caleb opened his eyes slightly and looked at her. The two did not say anything. Plenty of people were standing around them, but the light above their heads seemed to have enveloped them in a world of their own. Penny felt her heart rate increase as she clutched the tissue and returned her gaze to the stage. “This is a piece of emerald that Mr. Winston Hill has donated. Bidding starts at three million dollars.” Everyone’s gaze turned toward Winston. Winston smiled at everyone as he int
