Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love

Chapter 87 Pretend to Be Calm

Owen showed a surprised expression but his face became dull afterwards.

“There must be a recorder in the car. Since it is a limited edition, I will ask others to check immediately. Perhaps no more accident occurs.”

The Lane family planned to investigate the past happening. Robert and Georgia departed to Julie’s house.

Georgia took her phone and called Vanessa.

“Vanessa, have you departed to visit Annie in S City?”

Vanessa replied to her via the phone.

“Yes, I am on the way. Alfred brings me there. How about you, Georgia? Have you departed?”

“Vanessa, I should go there immediately but I have something to do right now. It is about the accident investigation, I have to see the person involved in it. After settling the matter, I will buy a ticket to visit Annie in the hospital. Don’t wait for me today.”

After hearing Georgia’s words, Vanessa comforted her immediately.

“Never mind, it is more important to find out the truth of the accident. Alfred and I are on the way, we will visit Annie, don’t worry.”

After Vanessa hung up the call, Alfred asked her curiously.

“Is Georgia calling you? What does she say?”

These few days, Vanessa stayed in Alfred’s condominium. Alfred accompanied her every day and treated her gently just like what he did six years ago.

Vanessa had a psychological burden, Alfred did not ask her about the last break-up and did not ask about her feeling now.

He acted as if nothing happened and passed his life peacefully along with Vanessa. He even prepared for their wedding calmly. They looked like a pair of normal couple.

Vanessa was anxiety but there was no point to ask Alfred why he stayed so calm and argued about the past.

Vanessa was afraid that Alfred would change his expression when talking about the past. She recalled the furious pattern of Alfred, she was so scared of it.

Alfred was calm now, Vanessa appreciated that.

“Yes, Georgia calls me. She says that she might not be able to visit Annie today. She has found out something about the previous accident, she wants to investigate the truth.”

Alfred asked confusingly.

“You mean Georgia is not the one causing the accident to happen?”

Vanessa nodded.

“It is impossible to be Georgia. She did not drive on that day, she is the scapegoat for her brother, Eden.”

Alfred nodded and did not speak anymore.

He was in a relationship with Vanessa for three years. He always met Georgia but he was not familiar with her. He only knew that she was his girlfriend’s best friend. So, he did not have much understanding of her.

“Don’t you think that Georgia is the murderer for the accident? Is she lying to you?”

Vanessa was furious after hearing his words.

“Alfred, do you have a bias on Georgia? She is my best friend and my only kin. Her daughter, Annie is my daughter too. We will get married soon, I hope you can respect my friend, me and her daughter.”

Alfred breathed in deeply. He had warned himself many times, he loved her so much, he did not want to let her go.

So, he just let the bygone be bygone and started his life again with her.

However, he would think of the humiliation Vanessa had made on him and left him. The happening tortured his emotion every day and night but he was afraid that Vanessa would show the helpless and dispirited expression again.

Alfred did not know how to tell Vanessa the matter. In fact, his resentment to her was existing but he wanted to pretend to be a perfect husband now. He wanted the woman, he must get her.

“I give you a gentle reminder only. If Georgia is really the murderer, the Simpson family will not forgive her. I am afraid that you will get into trouble because of her.”

Vanessa stayed silent and did not want to speak anymore. Although Alfred and she seemed to become reconciled, she thought that there was a hidden barrier between them, they seemed to be blocked by a wall.

During these few days, Vanessa thought over and over whether she should tell him the truth about the break-up.

But when she wanted to say it out, Alfred would say calmly to her not to recall the past happening, we forgot the past and restarted again.

Alfred did not want to listen to it, Vanessa could not explain it to him.

She was not bold but when she felt that Alfred had bias on Georgia, he seemed to throw his tantrum as before. Vanessa could feel the resentment that Alfred had on her, it was revealed in his tone.

Their wedding fell on the day after tomorrow, did they need to pretend nothing happened and passed their life peacefully forever?

Vanessa breathed in deeply, she continued to speak boldly.

“Alfred, there is an incident that causes us to break up last time. I know you don’t want to hear that but can you let me explain?”

Alfred teased inside his heart, what incident? It was just because he was poor and Vanessa met a rich guy, right?

Alfred did not voice out his opinion.

“Vanessa, the bygone is not important. Gone are the days we suffer, let’s forget the past and restart, ok? If you keep arguing about the past, how about our future? Forget it, ok?”

Vanessa lowered her head and her tears fell instantly. The humiliation and harm she had suffered would etch in her mind forever.

Forget it, just pretend that nothing happened. It was Vanessa’s thought.

If she pretended to stay peacefully with Alfred, he would help her with her jobs. If she had the job, she would not make trouble for Georgia, she even could seek assistance from Alfred in helping Georgia and Annie.

If he could help her with that, it did not matter to pretend for a while.

Vanessa wiped away her tears and smiled at Alfred.

“You’re right, let bygone be bygone. We should restart our life and cherish the moment now.”

Both of them had different thoughts. After half an hour, they had reached the hospital in S City.

After Vanessa got down from the car, she straight away went to Annie’s ward.

Annie slept calmly as before. It was the first time Alfred saw Annie, a girl that lay on the ward bed.

The little girl closed her eyes tightly, her face was pale and looked weak.

Alfred sympathized with her when knowing that she had been in a coma for a long time.

He would concern about the child because Vanessa considered her as her daughter.

“Vanessa, don’t worry, I will contact the doctor in the USA. Although Dr. Ivan did not want to help, other genius doctors will help. Don’t worry so much.”

Vanessa nodded appreciatively.

No matter what attitude did Alfred have, it did not matter as long as he wanted to help.

She did not dare to expect too much.

Two of them accompanied Annie quietly in the hospital.

At 7 p.m., Georgia and Robert had arrived at Julie’s house.

It was a three-storey villa in the suburbs. After Robert and Georgia got down the car, Robert went to the door and knocked on it.

After a while, a middle-aged woman held a little boy and walked out.

The woman opened the door confusingly and asked.

“Who are you two looking for?”

Georgia saw the mole on her nose.

She confirmed that it was Julie.

“Julie, I have something to ask you.”

Julie looked at two of them and nodded.

“Come in to have a talk.”

After Georgia and Robert went into the living room, Julie put down the little boy and turned around to take two cups of tea for Georgia and Robert.

“What happened?” Julie asked confusingly.

Georgia had a bad presentiment, she felt that Julie did not know her at all. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

It was rational if she forgot Georgia, she was just a customer six years ago. How was it impossible to remember her?

But Georgia wanted to try, she asked Julie.

“Julie, my name is Georgia Lane. During one night six years ago, I stayed in the hotel that you worked in before. When I woke up, I asked the reception servant to prepare clothes for me. After that, I lost my jade pendant. I even asked you all to contact me if you found it. Do you remember it?”

Julie rubbed her brow and recalled.

“It was long time ago, let me think carefully.”

Robert asked Georgia smilingly.

“Are you saying that the jade pendant belongs to you? I indeed found a jade pendant at that time but Emma said that it was hers. Your name is even carved on it.”

After Robert said the words, Georgia felt that her brain was exploded, she was about to faint.

This was the first time she talked about the jade pendant with Robert. If Robert was not lying, then he was the one involved in the night. Most importantly, it was impossible for Robert to lie on this kind of matter.

If it were in the past, Georgia would definitely tell Robert that he must be the person involved in that night.

But for now, Georgia was even confused on why the paternity test done by Robert was failed.

Was someone creating trouble in between? But Robert underwent a few tests, every outcome showed that they were not father and daughter. What was going wrong?

Georgia did not want to figure out the worst outcome, Annie was not her daughter.

No wonder Chester kept emphasizing that Robert was the one involved in that night. It seemed like Chester was not lying to her.

Georgia did not know what was going wrong, she just stayed silent and explained.

“The jade pendant is mine, it was the relic my mother gives me. It is up to you whether you want to believe me or not.”

Georgia talked in a dispirited tone, Robert felt that Georgia’s pattern was weird. But he did not know that George’s mind was going haywire.

“Georgia, I want to trust you but you have lied to me before. If I totally trust you, then I will feel like I am a fool. Do you understand?”

Georgia lowered her head and smiled bitterly, she did not talk anymore.

Julie seemed to remember something, she looked at them and answered.
