Chapter 40 I Don’t Plan On Doing That

For the next two days, Caroline found herself accompanied by two bodyguards whenever she

wanted to go to the hospital.

Surprisingly, she didn’t mind their presence as they were a constant reminder that the culprit

responsible for her recent ordeal remained unknown.

There was, however, one troublesome issue she faced she couldn’t go to the gynecologist for a

pregnancy test.

After careful consideration, she decided to reach out to her friend Paige for help.

She swiftly sent a text, ‘Paige, can you help me with something?”

Paige responded promptly, expressing her willingness to help. “Sure, what’s up?”

Caroline shared the details of her predicament and conveyed a rough idea of what she needed

from Paige’s support.

“Right now?” Paige asked.

“Yes, can you?”

“Of course. Meet at the hospital entrance at 10.”

Realizing it was already nine o’clock, Caroline quickly changed her clothes and headed out.

When she arrived at the hospital, Paige glanced up and was taken aback by the presence of the

two imposing bodyguards behind Caroline. “The boss sure takes it to another level. No one would dare

to come near you with these guards around.”

Caroline let out a sigh. “Let’s go inside.”

Under the pretense of accompanying Paige, Caroline successfully managed to undergo the

ultrasound examination. Once it was done, they decided to have lunch at a nearby restaurant.

Seated comfortably, they took advantage of the bodyguards stationed at the door and engaged in

conversation.

Paige’s gaze shifted towards Caroline’s belly, concern etched on her face. “Carol, the doctor

mentioned that you’ll start showing in about three months. I think it’s time you consider telling

the boss.”

Caroline took a sip of water, contemplating Paige’s words. “I don’t plan on doing that.”

Paige persisted, offering her advice. “Have you ever considered that he might want to marry you.

because of the child? After all these years, surely you must feel something for him.”

Caroline was momentarily taken aback by Paige’s statement. So what if she had feelings for Evan?

She had never entertained the idea of him staying in her life, especially not stealing him from Daniella.

Furthermore, revealing the truth carried the potential threat of having her child aborted.

“Carol, I’m telling you, children from single–parent families often face gossip and judgment from a

young age. Aren’t you worried that your child will feel envious of other kids with fathers? What will you

say when they ask about their dad?” Paige pressed on.

Caroline hadn’t given much thought to those implications. “I haven’t considered that,” she admitted.

Paige let out a sigh of exasperation. “You should test him. It’s better than not knowing at all.”

Caroline took a deep breath, steeling herself. “You’re right. I’ll find an opportunity and give it a try.”

Upon returning to Villa Rosa, Caroline found Evan and Reuben engaged in conversation in the

living room.

“Mr. Jordan, we didn’t find anything the past two days. This person is quite good at hiding his trails.

Please give me more time. Reuben said

Evan, his handsome face marked with a grim expression, spoke fiercely. “I want results, not

excuses!”

Reuben’s head drooped, and he furrowed his brow. “Yes, Mr. Jordan!”

Evan’s head began to ache, and he rubbed his temples. “Tomorrow is the company’s annual dinner. It’s

going to be a large gathering, and security needs to be flawless. There can be no

mistakes.”

Reuben acknowledged his instructions and accidentally bumped into Caroline while turning to leave.

He greeted her briefly before making his way out.

She changed into slippers and walked into the living room. She saw Evan walking toward her.

Recalling Paige’s advice, she instinctively avoided eye contact. “I’m going upstairs,” she muttered.

Just as she took a couple of steps away, Evan’s deep and hoarse voice reached her ears. “Why did

you go to the gynecologist?”

Her heart squeezed in her chest, but she clenched her fists and looked up, feigning composure as she

met his gaze. “I accompanied Paige for a consultation,” she replied calmly.

Evan smirked, his tone laced with amusement. “You better not bring any diseases home.”

Caroline’s expression turned ugly. Unable to hold back herself, she retorted, “If that’s what you

She walked to the stairs after saying that, and she soon said something else casually,

With those words, she proceeded towards the stairs, her anger barely contained. Before

disappearing from view, she casually added, “And by the way, it’s perfectly normal for women to

undergo medical check–ups at the hospital. Don’t read too much into it, Evan.”

As Caroline vanished at the top of the stairs, a mixture of frustration and anger simmered in

Evan’s eyes.

The following day, the deputy director called for a meeting with all the employees to announce

the date and venue for the company’s annual dinner. Paige kept chatting with Caroline, inquiring about

Evan’s attendance. “Carol, the boss will be coming too, right?”

Caroline nodded. “He’ll be there unless something urgent comes up.”

“And what about you? Will you be coming?”

“Mm–hmm.”

She considered herself lucky when it came to the annual dinner. Each year, she would win prizes

like a mobile phone, a computer, or even cash amounts exceeding 150 dollars. It was all money in

the end, and it would be a waste to miss out. Her concern wasn’t having too much money; instead,

she worried about not having enough once she left

Paige held onto her arm. “You’ll be with the boss tomorrow. What if he asks you to drink?”

She smiled. “I’ll come up with something.”

Daniella overheard their conversation and, after the meeting concluded, made her way to the

stairs to call Nic. “Nic, I need you to help me retrieve something before tomorrow night…”
