บททั้งหมดของ The CEO's Switched Bride: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

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

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.

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'

Time passed by…Finally, my sentence of a year and half was up.I stood at the entrance of the jail with wounds and scars all over my body. The strong rays of sunlight shone on me, making me feel a little pain at the same time making me feel more alive."Reed, welcome back."As I looked up and felt the warmth and the freedom, I heard a warm and familiar voice.It was Haick.We hadn't seen each other for more than a year. He was wearing a light colored suit, which made him look more mature and handsome. But for me, a year and a half's cruel life in prison had made me skinny. My hair was sallow and my skin was dry and devoid of elasticity.Standing next to him, I dulled in comparison.Haick didn't treat me differently because of the change in my appearance. He gently opened the door of the co driver's seat for me.On the way, Haick kept apologizing.He said that in the past one and a half years, he had not been doing well. He had been blaming himself for failing to help me.I looked a

I looked at him and told him everything about my pregnancy, before I was imprisoned and the fact that my baby was aborted.In the end, I added, "I went to the hospital for a check up not long ago. According to the doctor, my uterus was damaged and I won't be pregnant again for the rest of my life."I lied to him, saying that I could never get pregnant. After all, Haick was so good that I didn't deserve him.I knew men wanted to have children of their own. So, Haick surely would mind this.At this time, I saw the hesitation in Haick's eyes.What I had least expected was for him to hug me suddenly, "Reed, it turns out that you have suffered so much in prison. I'm sorry. It's my fault that I could't help you with the lawsuit. Please forgive me. I'm so sorry.. And I promise to protect you this time around."I was stunned in his arms."Haick, I said I can't have a baby.""If you can't, let it be. I don't mind."Haick's behavior was completely beyond my expectation.I broke free from his em
