Lahat ng Kabanata ng Be Gentle With Me, Mr. CEO: Kabanata 361 - Kabanata 370

The revelation left Calla paralyzed with terror. She ran a hand through her hair while at a loss for words, terrified of what would happen if Zoey found out. "I'll pretend I didn't hear that. Don't say it again!" Calla removed Harlan's hands from her shoulders, her expression cold."Calla, I refuse to believe you've never had any feelings for me." Harlan still held onto her arm, refusing to let go."Stop asking such pointless questions. Zoey is right next door." Calla shook off his hand again."I—" Harlan was about to say something, when suddenly a soft voice was heard. "Harlan, Cal, you…"At the sound of Zoey's voice, Calla's head snapped up. She saw Zoey standing in the doorway in her pajamas, and panic surged through her.Harlan stood there in awkward silence. Calla quickly forced a smile and said to Zoey, "Oh, I came out to hang up some diapers. Harlan insisted on helping, but he's all thumbs and can't even do that right."Calla knew how flimsy her excuse sounded. She had n

As Calla passed through the living room, she noticed Zoey sitting on the couch. Zoey was cradling her newborn daughter in her arms. She shot Calla a cold glance, then patted the baby gently. "Sweetheart, your meddlesome aunt is finally leaving our home. I hope she never comes back. Every time she shows up, our house is thrown into chaos. From now on, we're going to have such a great time as a family of three with Daddy."Hearing this, Calla frowned. She never imagined Zoey would turn into someone like this. With a heavy heart, Calla wiped away a tear, grabbed her suitcase, and stormed out the door.As Calla stepped into the elevator, she still couldn't fathom that Zoey had said and done those things. Calla tugged at her hair, the sting a harsh reminder of reality. Their relationship had frayed to this extent.It seemed she no longer had a sister.The elevator reached the ground floor, and the doors slid open.Calla saw Harlan waiting outside, holding a bag of pretzels. Calla's

"Hello?" Calla answered the phone a moment later."Calla, I heard from Miriam that you quit your job. What's going on? You were doing so well, why did you suddenly resign? And where are you right now? I've searched all over Greendale for you." Pierre bombarded her with questions.Faced with so many queries, Calla didn't know which one to answer first. In the end, she responded vaguely, "My sister gave birth, and there was no one to take care of her at home. So I came back to Riverford to look after her during her recovery period."Pierre was silent for a moment, then asked, "Does that mean you're not coming back to Greendale? Are you planning to stay in Riverford for a long time?"Calla didn't know how to answer him because she wasn't sure what her future held. "I don't have any specific plans yet," Calla said with a bitter smile.Pierre chuckled and said, "No rush on the plan; you can take your time on that. Take good care of your sister while she's getting better. Let me treat

Calla walked along the lake, only the rippling sounds of water accompanying her. Her mind was in turmoil, and she was fighting a whirlwind of emotions.Though this baby had just arrived, she wanted to keep it. The pain of her previous loss was still very raw, and she felt like this was a second chance.That said, this child was Mercer's. He probably knew her whereabouts like the back of his hand now. Could she give birth to the child right under his nose?Moreover, this child was born out of wedlock. She couldn't offer the baby a complete family, nor could she provide them a normal life. Would this be unfair to the baby growing inside her? Would it affect the child's life in the future?As Calla wrestled with these thoughts, someone she recognized appeared before her. Her heart tightened, and she stopped in her tracks, her eyes fixed on the person's tall figure.Calla wasn't too surprised to see him, though. If he wanted to, he could easily track her every move. Judging from recen

Calla felt as though she could sense the child calling out to her. At this moment, she became even more determined to keep this child. Calla was overwhelmed by the constant barrage of thoughts in her head. She decided to put down the burden altogether.From now on, she no longer wanted to think about anything else. Her greatest happiness would be to bring this child safely into the world. This child was to be the light of her life. She suddenly did not feel so alone in this world and now had something to live for. She no longer cared what others said or thought. So what if she became a single mother? She had the ability and confidence to raise a child on her own.Calla didn't care about Mercer's persistent pursuit. She would deal with problems as they came. He couldn't take away her child no matter how powerful he was.With her mind made up, Calla stood with renewed confidence and returned home with her bag.The moment she entered, Carol started scolding her. "Calla, where ha
