The Doting Bigwig의 모든 챕터: 챕터 281 - 챕터 290

"What do you want?"Theodore didn't speak for a moment. "Did you go to the hospital this morning?"Slightly taken aback, Willow clenched her fists secretly. "Yes.""Terence told me that the results weren't good.""Since you already know, why are you asking me?"Assuming she was in a bad mood because of the test results, Theodore patiently advised, "Nothing is certain yet. Listen to the doctor, go for regular check-ups, and pay attention to your daily routine and diet. Also, It's best to put aside work.""I know my own body the best. You don't need to worry.""The child is mine too. I have the right to be concerned.""That is true. You are the father." Willow abruptly looked up, her gaze icy. "But this child might not even be born. By then, we wouldn't have anything to do with each other."Theodore's gaze abruptly darkened. Willow's tone was indifferent as if she were talking about something unrelated to her."How can you decide on something that even the doctor isn't sure of

Clark, who was driving, noticed Theodore's sullen expression upon his return and guessed that it must have been another unpleasant talk with Willow."Mr. Bassett, they say pregnant women have mood swings. If Ms. Jett had said anything, it would have probably been just out of anger. Don't take it to heart."Theodore didn't respond and was lost in thought. After a while, he ordered, "Get the media to retract those previous news reports."Clark was slightly taken aback. Was Theodore trying to be considerate of Willow's feelings?"Find a professional nutritionist to manage Willow's daily diet.""Understood."Theodore then gave a few more instructions regarding the nutritionist's qualifications.The car became quiet, with only the sweet voice from the car radio broadcasting the weather forecast. A cold wave was coming, and Emperia was likely to see the first snowfall of winter soon.Theodore leaned back in his seat and sent a message to Terence. His usually calm and composed face no

Willow was pretty sure Theodore had something to do with Tobias' death. The thought of it made Willow feel cold all over.She couldn't believe she had met and fallen in love with such a cold and ruthless man to whom ordinary people's lives meant nothing.If it weren't for her "luck" in helping him by chance when she was a child, she might also be a worthless life to him, a person who was easily disposed of. That thought scared her.At Bassett Residence, the sound of an engine could be heard at the garage entrance, and Willow stormed in."Ms. Jett, why are you back?" The maid was not surprised but rather panicked when she saw Willow."Where's Theodore?""Mr. Bassett is… not at home."Hearing the maid's stammering made Willow even more certain that Theodore had a guilty conscience and was deliberately avoiding her."He isn't at home, is he? It's no problem. I'm just here to get some of my things."She suppressed her anger and went straight up the stairs to the master bedroom on

After a few seconds of silence, Cedar coldly spat, "You tell Willow yourself!"He walked straight out after he spoke, leaving Theodore and Willow alone in the room. Once the door was closed, the room became much quieter.Theodore sat by her bed with the glass and a spoon to feed her the water. Willow, who was leaning against the headboard, knew he was there, but she turned her face away, unwilling to look at him.The room became even more silent, and the atmosphere became even more chilling.After a while, Theodore said, "Regardless of whether you believe me or not, nothing happened between Hailey and me.""Ha." Willow let out a cold laugh as if she had heard the funniest joke ever.How could a man and a woman lay naked in bed together for an entire night without anything happening? What else could they be doing? Chatting?Knowing that she didn't believe him, Theodore stopped explaining himself and changed the subject."I was the one who wronged you and the child. Even if nothi

"Is it hot? Have another spoonful."Willow had two spoonfuls of the creamy soup, which went down easily. Erica's caring words instantly warmed her heart, which had been cold for days. Her nose tingled, and tears began to fall."Why are you crying?" Erica quickly set down the thermos and used her handkerchief to wipe Willow's tears. "You can't cry when you're like this. It's bad for your health."Willow choked up, her voice weak. "I miss my mom."Erica's heart ached when she heard that. She quickly hugged Willow. "My only regret in this life is not having a daughter. If you miss your mom, just think of me as your mom. It's okay. Don't cry."With someone comforting and caring for her, Willow couldn't hold back any longer. All her grievances from the past few days overwhelmed her, and she cried in Erica's arms like a child.Cedar's eyes reddened as he stood there. He and Willow had been raised by an unreliable mother. As they had hardly ever felt the gentle, loving care of a parent,
