All Chapters of Contract with CEO: Having A Child Unexpected : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Hey, Regina, listen to me. Even if I've discarded others after giving them so much, I would never do that to you!" Henry's gaze bore into Regina's eyes, intense and unyielding. Regina's heart raced. She couldn't meet Henry's piercing stare, which seemed to see right through her. "Of course, you can't just throw me away. We have an agreement, and you wouldn't want to ruin your reputation. I get it. Let's not talk about irrelevant things." Regina walked ahead, trying to escape Henry's intense gaze. Unwanted emotions clouded her mind. She could feel Henry's presence following closely behind her. "Hey, you don't even know where you're going, do you? Don't walk off alone," Henry said, grabbing her hand firmly. "There's no need to hold hands! I'm not a child who'll get lost without knowing the way back." Regina attempted to free herself, but Henry tightened his grip, making it nearly impossible. "Just follow me. There might be paparazzi around." "That's unlikely. I've seen that

Regina bent her legs, kneeling in front of her mother-in-law. She threw away all her pride to do this. She lowered her eyes and said with utmost sincerity, "I apologize for what Kevin did to you. " Mrs. Jian looked at Regina with a sharp gaze. Her gaze looked at Regina with disbelief, "What kind of trick is this? Are you going to play the victim and then slander me in front of my son that I forced you to kneel down and apologize?" Regina remained calm even though Madame Jian's sharp gaze pierced into her. The woman lifted her body, standing tall with a straight gaze. "I don't have any ill plans and only hope that you forgive my son. As an adult it is appropriate to humble oneself and admit mistakes." Mrs. Jian gave her a cold look, a few seconds later, a triumphant smile was etched, "It's good that you're willing to apologize for your incompetent upbringing of your son." "Mrs. Jian, shouldn't you also apologize to Kevin? You beat him so badly and threatened him. As an adult, ar

"Kevin, cease your insistence; I have no interest in hearing any of his nonsense!" Regina shot a glance at Kevin through the mirror. Kevin pursed his lips, bowing his head sadly. "I merely wish to make Mom and Dad like a typical couple. If you exchange sweet words, wouldn't your marriage last longer?" Seeing her son's bowed figure, cloaked in a gray aura of disappointment, left Regina unsure of what to do. "Kevin, you can't expect more than this, and a couple that appears sweet isn't guaranteed to last long. You understand that, don't you?" Henry interjected. "Real couple life isn't like in fairy tales." Kevin, however, smiled, leaving Henry puzzled. "Why are you smiling like that?" "I'm just glad Dad is siding with Mom. It's words of comfort for her, isn't it? Though rough, I understand Dad actually meant to say that even if you two aren't sweet to each other, you're a perfect match and will endure, and even though Dad acted harshly earlier, in truth, even if Mom isn't as s

Henry restrained himself. "Even a minor problem remains a problem! Who wouldn’t be mad if someone took their food without leaving any?"Regina smirked. "Oh, how about I pay for it? I'll transfer the money right away."Henry scoffed, "You plan to pay with the card I gave you? Isn’t that the same thing?"Regina stepped over to her suitcase in the living room. She grabbed her wallet and tossed the card Henry had given her at him. "Take it! I don’t need it."She opened an app on her phone and transferred the amount. "I’ve transferred the money. We owe you nothing."Regina turned to leave. Henry grabbed her hand before she could escape."Regina, what’s wrong with you? Why are you angrier than I am? Hey, don’t act like a sulking teenager; you’re too old for that."Regina stomped on Henry’s foot, catching him off guard. The slender woman used the moment to break free. "Never insult a woman by calling her ‘old.’ You may have experience with many women, but you don't understand their hearts."

"Why?" Henry inquired of Regina, glancing without uttering a word.Regina shook her head. She couldn't possibly inquire where Henry had been until late at night. Regina lowered her gaze and began nibbling on the toasted white bread."Mom, didn't you sleep well? There are dark circles under your eyes," Kevin remarked, startling Regina even though she had covered them with makeup."Didn't you sleep soundly last night?" Henry looked at her, puzzled. "Or couldn't you sleep because I left you? Oh, is my wife unable to sleep without me?""No. Actually, I slept soundly last night. These aren't dark circles but part of the makeup," Regina gave a plausible explanation. "I didn't know you left last night.""Dad, did you go out at night? What did Dad do?" Kevin asked. Regina didn't expect Kevin to ask the questions she wanted to know.Eyes looking tired, directed at Henry without blinking. She awaited every movement of Henry's lips until he provided an
