Could the baby in her belly be a girl?
Rodney was not a conservative man who would demand to have a baby boy to carry on the family lineage. In fact, it was nice to have a girl too. If the child could be as pretty as Mireya, she would look like a doll. However, if she got Mireya’s fiery temper as well…
Hold on. Stop.
What was he thinking?
He was actually thinking about how the baby would look after they were born? What about Sarah, then?
1:00 P.M.
Rodney cooked two plates of butter pasta without adding any chili sauce to them.
After glancing at the pasta, Mireya walked into the kitchen and opened the cabinet above. She was about to take a bottle of chili sauce.
Before she could take the sauce, a tall shadow enveloped her from behind. Rodney pulled her hand away and closed the cabinet. “Now that you’re pregnant, don’t eat things that have preservatives in them.”
Mireya turned her head around furiously. Her eyes happened to settle on his long neck with a s*xy Adam’s apple.
His neck was undeniably better than those young hunks in the entertainment industry.
Rodney did not notice it and he continued to say, “I f you want something spicy, I’ll cook it for you tonight.”
“Rodney Snow, what are you trying to do?”
Mireya suddenly lifted her head with a dazed look on her pretty face. “Are you planning to take responsibility for me?”
Rodney choked in an instant. He had no idea why he would make such a remark either.
It might have to do with his family who brought him up.
Every man in the Snow family was responsible.
“I haven’t made up my mind yet.” Distressed, Rodney turned around and ate the pasta.
Mireya was stunned. “What’s there for you to consider? You’ll choose Sarah without a doubt.”
Rodney’s handsome face flashed with agony. “Do you think that I don’t want to choose her? My grandpa says that men must be responsible.
Perhaps I’m not fated to be with Sarah.”
Mireya was momentarily startled. In fact, Rodney was quite innocent. Unfortunately… he was involved with a woman who was far from innocent.
“No need.” Mireya shook her head. “I don’t need you to be responsible for me. Since the Snow family is forcing me to give birth to this child and even threatening me with this child, I’ll give birth to them but I won’t marry you.”
Rodney never thought that she would rather remain unmarried and give birth to the child than marry him.
He was supposed to be glad, yet he was upset somehow.
“Mireya Lynch, do you dislike me so much?”
¡®I’ve never liked you.’
Mireya insulted him inwardly before she seriously said, “When I got into a relationship three years ago, I fell in love with a guy in college and we were together for four to five years. We had even met each others’ parents and were getting ready for our wedding. But one day, he stood my family and me up for his childhood sweetheart. He didn’t do it only once but many times. He always put his childhood best friend above everything else.
“Whenever we went out on a date, he would bring his childhood best friend along.
“When his childhood best friend got sick, he would take care of her.
“He claimed that he only treated her as a sister and was not in love with her. Later, I couldn’t endure it anymore so I broke up with him. Shortly after, he got into a relationship with that childhood best friend of his.
“By the way, he even blamed me for being narrow- minded after we broke up. He said that his childhood best friend was truly in love with him while I didn’t love him enough.”
Listening to her story, Rodney was stunned.
He suddenly pitied her.
All this while, he had been under the impression that he was pathetic when it came to relationships. He never thought that Mireya would be the same as him.
“So you still can’t get over that shameless man, right?”
“No.”
Mireya shook her head. “Although I initiated the break-up, I was actually the one who got dumped. I don’t want to experience that kind of feeling anymore. If we get together for the sake of the child and I don’t hold a place in your heart because you can’t get over Sarah, I’m afraid you’ll dump me eventually.”
For a long time, Rodney did not utter a word.
He just watched her lower her head as she ate the pasta. A complicated feeling of bitterness seized him.
“Then… It’s alright. If there’s anything, you can call me anytime. I’ll get you a housekeeper. Don’t eat processed food anymore.”
“Mm.”
In the mall.
Cate accompanied Mireya to stroll around aimlessly. “So you’ve made a deal with Rodney at last?”
“Duh. You couldn’t even defeat Sarah. Will I be able to defeat her?”
Mireya shook her head. “What’s more, if I were to stay with Rodney every day, I’m afraid I’d depend o n him as time passed since his cooking is wonderful. I don’t want to depend on anyone.”
“I’m just worried that you’ll get hurt.”
Cate sighed. “Actually, it’s not easy to be a single mother. It’ll affect your next marriage. Once you give birth… you need to be responsible for the child.”
“What else can I do? No matter how popular I am, I’m still a cosmetic chemist. I’m not capable enough to fight against the Snow family.” Mireya gave a bitter laugh.
Cate kept quiet.
It was true that none of the families were comparable to the Snow family given their status in both politics and business.
After dinner, Cate sent Mireya home. Then, she received a call from Logan.
“There’s nothing suspicious about President Sanderson.”
Logan said, “He’s been going to work on time every day. Sometimes, there are women who try to seduce him during banquets, but he ignores them all.
When he’s engaged in social activities, he won’t drink nor smoke. Other men will call some women over, but there won’t be any women around him. Besides, he does charity and actively advocates for children living in poverty by raising funds for them. He’s also gentle to his employees. Based on what I heard from the employees in Golden Corporation, none of them has pointed out anything bad about him.”
Cate frowned upon hearing this. Was she overthinking it?
Could it be that Shaun had lied to her and Wesley did not actually send him that video?
Logan asked out of confusion, “There’s nothing wrong with Wesley. Why did you ask me to investigate him?” “Fine. Stop following him and come back.”
Cate hung up the call.
By the time she arrived at the Yule family’s villa, it was already eight-ish at night. Wesley was telling the two children a story with a gentle look and hoarse voice. He looked like a good father.
At the sight of this, a twinge of guilt crept up Cate’s mind. She had actually suspected him. That was really too much.
Only after Wesley finished the story did he notice her. “You’re back.”
Joel glared at Cate. “You’re Suzie and Lucas’ mom, but you always come home late. Even Wesley is doing a better job at being a parent than you.”
“I’ll reflect on myself and won’t do it again,” Cate apologized sincerely.
“It doesn’t matter. You can carry on with your work. I’ll help you take care of your children at home, ” Wesley said with a smile.
Looking at him, Cate decided on something deep down.
At night, Cate kept Suzie and Lucas company as they slept. Suddenly, Suzie said, “Mommy, Granny called me today and said she misses me. Great-grandpa and Great-grandma miss me too. I feel like… staying there for some time.”
