Semua Bab Be Gentle With Me, Mr. CEO: Bab 391 - Bab 400

Offended by Peggy's words, Calla calmly replied, "I'm not interested in your affairs."With that, Calla turned to leave. Now that she was pregnant, she didn't want to create unnecessary trouble for herself.However, Peggy swiftly blocked her path. She crossed her arms as she sneered. "You're feeling embarrassed because you can't compete with me, huh?""I'm not as self-absorbed as you are," Calla coldly responded. She couldn't understand why women like Peggy existed. If she had found herself a rich man, she should just enjoy her new life quietly. But Peggy had to announce it to the world, not realizing the danger of it all."Hmph, even though Mercer married you when you got pregnant, you didn't even have a wedding. Then, he divorced you immediately after your child died. You really got the worst of it, didn't you? "Not only did you gain nothing, but you ended up as a remarried woman. But I must say, I admire your seduction skills. "You even managed to snag Pierre. So, tell me. W

Two days later, Pierre drove Calla to Winona Price's house, their car loaded with luggage. After about an hour's drive, Pierre pulled over in a scenic area. The place was nestled between hills and a flowing stream, its waters so clear that you could see tiny shrimp and fish swimming within.It was fall, the season of harvest, and the apple, persimmon, and plum trees were heavy with ripe, reddish fruits. Among these trees stood an old, tall house, its blue bricks and white walls making it look like something out of a painting.Standing on this piece of land, Calla felt as if she could breathe easier. The beauty of the surroundings made it hard to look away. No wonder Pierre's grandmother liked living here alone—it was a secluded paradise. The thought of staying here for several months made Calla feel a little excited."Not bad, huh?" Pierre remarked with a smile as he knocked on the small courtyard door in front of them."I didn't expect there to be such an undeveloped place near

Hearing this, Calla finally understood what Winona meant. It made sense; Pierre now came over almost every weekend, bringing lots of delicious food and drinks. According to Penny, Pierre used to only visit once a month. It was no wonder Winona had considered the possibility."Madam Winona, you misunderstood." Calla quickly explained, "Pierre and I are just friends. I'm going through a tough time right now, and Pierre, being the kind person he is, brought me here to stay with you."Winona let out a long sigh. "I knew that boy wasn't lucky enough to have you. Our family must not have Lady Luck by our side.""Pierre is an outstanding man." Calla quickly assured her, "He'll definitely find a wife who's perfect for him!"Winona glanced at Calla. "What's the use of being outstanding? You know Wanda, don't you? She's always abroad painting those worthless pictures. They say one of her paintings even won some international awards. Still, she's never around. I'm glad Pierre broke up with he

Seeing the mysterious look in Pierre's eyes, Calla couldn't help but ask, "What is it?""It's about your old nemesis." Pierre's smile widened."Peggy?" Calla raised a curious eyebrow.Pierre nodded in response. "Zayden finally broke up with her after he found out about her past.""Weren't they supposed to get married because of the baby? What about the child?" Calla frowned.Though Calla had suspected that the truth about Peggy would eventually be revealed, she knew that Peggy was pregnant and that the Yule family would have an opinion about the unborn child."There's no baby—the pregnancy was fake," Pierre replied."Fake?" Calla was beyond shocked. She thought for a moment and then asked, "How could it be fake? We ran into them at the hospital that day, didn't we? Peggy was there for a check-up. Could a doctor have conspired with her to fake the reports?"Calla knew Peggy was capable of underhanded tricks, but to involve a doctor in such a scheme seemed far-fetched. Even setti

As Calla looked up again, she saw Pierre coming back into the courtyard with even more bags. He was heading straight toward her bedroom. Seeing this, Calla quickly went to open the door for him.Pierre was wearing a gray casual down jacket. As soon as he stepped inside, a cool breeze followed him in."Look what I brought you!" Pierre announced excitedly. He placed the bags on the couch."What is it?" Calla curiously walked over.When she glanced down at the bags, she was taken aback. They were filled with things like baby bottles, infant pillows, diapers, baby capes, and more. Pierre had brought with him baby essentials, and the collection was extensive.Seeing these items stirred something deep within Calla. She reached out and picked up a baby bottle, carefully examining it, while her emotions churned like a turbulent sea.She had thought about preparing these things herself, but since she was only seven months pregnant, she believed there was still time. She had planned to ask
