Chapter 1269
Eleanor didn’t see it coming that Caleb would tag along as well. Two of them on the same mission, plus
Caleb, the jack-of-all-trades – you can just imagine how high the stakes must be.
Katharine was clueless, but Eleanor knew the truth. Her anxiety was definitely higher than Katharine’s,
yet she had no choice but to keep it under wraps, without anyone to express her worries to.
“Maybe it’s just I’ve been lacking of sleep.”
Katharine didn’t really care about Eleanor’s state, nor did she bother to read between the lines. She
simply shrugged it off.
“I haven’t been sleeping well either,” Katharine complained.’
“That damn Caleb is to blame. Everything was fine until he insisted on going on this trip with your
husband. When I asked what he was up to, he simply said it’s ‘important business’. But what important
business takes over two months and still isn’t finished? Plus, I couldn’t reach him. I’ve been losing
sleep over this, I’m getting anxious.”
Eleanor was also on edge, but all she could do was try to pacify Katharine.
“They should be back in a month.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Did your husband say that?”
Eleanor nodded, and Katharine exploded in anger, tearing the leather couch she was sitting on.
“I thought they went to some secret place where they can’t use phones or contact the outside world.
Turns out your husband managed to contact you, but that bastard Caleb hasn’t contacted me. Is he out
there fooling around?!”
He once promised her he’d marry her in six months. Now, she was already two months pregnant and
that jerk Caleb hadn’t contacted her at all. How could Katharine swallow this?
“If he dares cheat, I’ll get an abortion and never see him again!”
Eleanor, who was staring at the couch, looked up in shock at Katharine,
“You’re… pregnant?”
Katharine didn’t try to hide it and simply nodded,
I found out after Caleb left.”
So Caleb didn’t know Katharine was pregnant.
As Eleanor worried about Caleb, she also subconsciously touched her own belly.
She’d been so lovesick for Bernard that she was practically ill, with her mood constantly low and no
interest in anything else. If it weren’t for Katharine reminding her, she wouldn’t have noticed that she
hadn’t had her period for two months.
No period for two months, could she… be pregnant too?
“Why doesn’t he contact me?”
Eleanor, wondering if she was pregnant, was brought back to reality by Katharine’s voice.
“Maybe he’s just busy.”
“Busy?”
Katharine scoffed.
“Your husband’s his boss and must be busier than him. If your husband can find time to contact you,
why can’t he contact me? Just because we’re not married, I’m not important?”
Pregnant women are always sensitive, and Eleanor understood Katharine’s restlessness.
“My husband only sent one message of safety through someone else, I can’t reach him either
Hearing Eleanor say this, Katharine’s resentment eased a bit, only to be replaced by endless worry.
This anxiety, greater than Caleb’s potential unfaithfulness, made her panic. She was always worried
that Caleb would run into some kind of trouble, but couldn’t put into words what this “trouble” might be.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEleanor felt the same way, especially after saying goodbye to Katharine. Her heart ached terribly, and
then she cut her finger on an A4 paper by accident, leaving a wound on her finger.
Although it didn’t really hurt, the sight of bright red blood flowing from the wound overlaid with the
image of Bernard lying in a pool of blood in her dreams. Her heartbeat sped up instantly, and the
weather outside the window suddenly became severe, with dark clouds, wind and tain like madness,
creating an atmosphere like the end of the world.
A week later, far away in the G country, Gianna was anxiously waiting when she heard a knock at the
door. She quickly got up and opened the door.
Coincidentally, it started to rain heavily in the G country. The moment the door opened, the rain rushed
in, and Gianna looked at the man outside the door through
the rain.
When she recognized who it was, Glanna’s heart, tense for over two months, finally relaxed.
“Bro, you’re finally back!”
Gianna ran over and hugged Evan tightly, but felt a hard box against her belly.
Following the rain, she slowly looked down and saw an um In front of her.
