Semua Bab Shh! Don't Let Him Know!: Bab 781 - Bab 790

Celia's expression faltered slightly. It seemed like Jules had run into some troubles."He hasn't shown up at the company in the past two days. Have you seen him?" Celia asked in a low voice.However, Ashley shook her head again. "It's like he has vanished from the face of the earth. I can't even find him in the restaurant he frequents."Upon hearing this, Celia realized something was wrong.Fortunately, the company was doing well these days. Otherwise, she wouldn't have known how to handle the problems if they all happened at once.Celia opened her WhatsApp conversation with Jules, where the last message from the latter was him reporting to her about work.Frowning, she brought Ashely with her and rushed to Jules' home."Do you think something happened to him?" Ashley asked during the journey. Even she had realized that something was wrong. For a moment, Celia didn't know how to explain to her."He hasn't messaged me about work these days. I only thought he was too occupied, b

Nicole then recalled Darlene's arrogant ultimatum on the phone."Go and accompany the one you should be with. Don't worry about me. I don't need your concern."Having told Norman all that needed to be said, Nicole turned to leave, brushing past him. She wanted nothing more than to stay away from him.Norman was frozen in place. He wanted to chase after her but couldn't bring himself to move. His feet were heavy as if weighed down by a ton.When Nicole quickly headed toward the elevator, she suddenly felt the skin on her abdomen tightened inexplicably. The next second, bursts of dull pain overwhelmed her.At this moment, the elevator door opened. An extravagantly dressed woman walked out, her perfume filling the air.Nicole raised her head at the rich fragrance and was taken aback to see Darlene standing before her."Are you getting discharged from the hospital already? I was thinking of visiting you!" Darlene greeted hypocritically, casually shoving a bouquet to Nicole."Since

Out of nowhere, Norman rushed to the bedside and dropped to his knees in front of Nicole. He grabbed her hand in a panic, saying, "Let me explain. I know myself well. Even though alcohol can make people lose control, I ...""That's enough! You don't need to explain anymore."Nicole didn't want to listen to his excuses, so she snatched her hand back and uttered indifferently, "From now on, there's nothing between us. I will raise my child on my own."Knowing that her statement was far from convincing to Norman, she immediately reached for the call button on the hospital bed.The nurse responded quickly to the call and soon entered the ward. Then, Nicole instructed her to escort Norman out.At the same time, Darlene was alone in the ward next door. She could hear the argument between Norman and the nurse coming from the corridor.Although she felt abandoned, she didn't feel as miserable and helpless.So what if Norman didn't want the baby? It didn't mean that Clarissa shared the s

Norman saw a chance and said, "Nicole, since nobody's home, why not stay at my place for a bit?"Worried she might say no, he kept explaining how risky it was to live alone, especially being pregnant and just out of the hospital.Nicole reluctantly gave in after nearly ten minutes of his persuasion."Fine, I'll stay at your place until my parents get back." She headed downstairs with a blank expression.At noon, Norman drove her back to his place.Clarissa was away at the hospital visiting her future daughter-in-law, making the atmosphere at the house less tense.Norman led Nicole to the bedroom, and he finally felt relieved."Now that you're here, we can help in taking care of you during your pregnancy," Norman said, hoping to persuade her to stay."You're overthinking. I'll stay for a maximum of three days," Nicole replied coolly."Three days it is!" Norman agreed quickly. He was afraid she might change her mind.And that was how Nicole ended up back at the Lorimer residenc

Ashley threw her legs up on the seat and reclined halfway while Jules squatted on the floor under a blanket.With Ashley as a human shield, Jules was invisible. Celia gave her a thumbs up.After a while, their car arrived at the toll. A crowd gathered just as expected. Surprisingly, even the police were on both sides.Celia scratched her head a bit. She had a hunch that Jules' abductors were somehow well-connected.They passed the toll booth, but their smooth ride came to an abrupt halt shortly after. A guy in police attire sauntered over, brandishing a stick.Ashley swiftly put on a show as if she were the sickest patient in town. Celia let her hair down and forced herself to well up with tears.The guy rapped on the car window a couple of times. Yardley casually rolled it down and asked, "Any issues?""Routine check. Please cooperate with our work," the guy said, but his eyes wandered inside the car.Yardley rolled down all four windows and gestured toward the rear seat. "My
