Substitute Bride For Young Master
Chapter 58's
Daniel was stunned for a very long time after hearing that answer. He was so stunned that Lorie was afraid that the man's chin would fall to the floor.
“You ... are kidding?” asked the man after recovering from his shock.
“No,” replied Lorie without thinking twice. “I'm pregnant.”
Daniel looked at Lorie's face fixedly, then moved to her empty ring finger. There's no ring around there. The woman must have lied and wanted to play tricks on him just so he could back off. So, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lorie with an accusatory look.
As if he could figure out what the man before him was thinking, Lorie smiled faintly and said, “I'm not married yet, it's just an accidental lightning sex. But this kid .. I couldn't possibly get rid of him just for the sake of a foreign man I just met a few days ago.”
Lorie took the results of the ultrasound she had put in the bag and thrust the object in front of Daniel.
“The age is almost three months,”.
The sunlight that bounced on the surface of the black and white photo paper was seen piercing the eyes. Daniel carefully took the sheet and examined it carefully. He swallowed. He did not understand the small letters written in numbers and abbreviations on the left side, but the picture in the middle of it, he said, he can guess it should be a uterine pouch with a circle as big as a red bean seed in it which must be a growing fetus. The sheet of paper looks original, not at all engineered.
This time Daniel looked into Lorie's eyes intensely, as if he wanted to plunge into the bottom of his soul in search of the truth from the words just now. However, despite almost a minute of them clashing, there were no ripples on the surface that Daniel could use as a grip that the woman was just talking.
So ... is this woman really pregnant? Not joking or fooling around?
“Because of that, Mr. Daniel, I hope after this you do not need—“
“Hah ...”
Daniel's violent gusts of breath kept Lorie from finishing her speech. He frowned when he saw the man's illegible expression.
The entire trace of shock on Daniel's face had already disappeared completely. The frown on his forehead that appeared earlier was no longer there. Even Lorie could faintly see there was a slight smile on the corner of the man's lips.
This guy, what is he thinking?
Lorie could only ask inwardly and wait for the man to mock her, or get up and leave without saying a word. Whatever it is, it's ready.
No, he would be very happy if Daniel did both. He did not care how the man looked at him now because all he wanted was a quiet life.
Daniel sighed one more time before saying, “It doesn't matter, just an enlarged stomach. Later after the child is born, I will take care of the adoption form so that he really becomes my son.”
The man had already returned to relaxed mode, leaning on the chair like a lazy big cat.
“A-what did you say?” the question is a little stuttering.
“Just be clean, I will take good care of you both.”
“You ... you ...”
Lorie was completely at a loss for words.
“I'm interested in your personality, not your body. I'm also not a saint who has never touched a woman, so ... Lorie, don't avoid me anymore because I won't give up easily.”
The words that sounded a little playful and tempting somehow made Lorie's heart like it was hit by an invisible hand. Suddenly he felt breathless.
Why is this guy so stubborn?
“Mr Daniel—“
“Daniel,” errata the man.
Lorie sighed and looked up. He closed his eyes for a moment and gathered up all his patience which began to splatter everywhere.
“It's still too early to argue ... Daniel,” muttered Lorie while grinding her teeth, holding back her increasingly overflowing emotions. “We've only met once, give me a reason why I should trust all this nonsense? I'm no longer the plain girl who believes in love at first sight and accepts all the cotton candy offered to me.”
To be honest, Lorie grew increasingly suspicious of what Daniel's motives were so strong that he wanted to approach her. Was the man the one who was told by the rival Jotuns Corps and wanted to steal valuable information belonging to the company? His experience on Kinara Lee's side made him realize, there is a disgusting type of human who will do anything to achieve their goals. If so, then he will not hesitate to chop Daniel with his own hands when the truth is revealed.
Lorie's intimidating and suspicious gaze made Daniel chuckle softly. His irises shone brilliantly and his eyelashes trembled with that laugh. His laughter sounded crisp and pleasant to hear.
Lorie looked at Daniel and gasped. To be honest, if they had met under different circumstances .. two or three months ago.
Unfortunately, not everything goes according to what we expect, right?
