Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 117 I'm Pregnant

In an office of FX International Group

Edward Mu was commenting on various documents, his pen moving like lightning. His calm and steady

face exuded wisdom. His eyebrows furrowed when difficult problems arose, which made him pause

here and there. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

There was a series of gentle, rhythmic knocks. "Knock knock," Anna swiftly entered.

"Something up?" Edward's eyebrows furrowed again as he asked without looking up. She sounded like

it was urgent.

"Mr. Mu, Miss Jessica Lin is here for you. She said it's something important." Anna waited for Edward's

reaction, uncertain what his answer would be.

"What did you say?" Edward finally looked up from the paperwork and stared straight at Anna.

"Miss Jessica Lin is here. She said she wanted to see you. Do you want me to show her in?" Anna now

wondered if this interruption was a good idea.

"Jessica Lin, what's she doing here? What's so important that she needs to talk to me in person?" Ever

since she had made her threats to Edward last time, she hadn't turned up again till now. He didn't know

why she reappeared after two months. Hasn't she given up yet?

"I'm not sure, Mr. Mu. But she said she must see you today. Do you want to meet with her?" This visit

was unexpected. Even Anna was a little surprised.

"Bring her up!" Edward thought for a moment and made the decision. He hoped that Jessica would

know her place and not cause him any more trouble. Otherwise she would never be welcome again.

"Yes, Mr. Mu." Anna deferentially exited the office.

Edward leaned back into his chair and rubbed between his eyes to relax his exhausted nerves. He

promised Daisy that he would never be intimate with another woman again. He kept that promise, so

he was curious what was so important for Jessica.

Another knock, more urgent than before. This was not Anna.

"Come in." Edward didn't move an inch, keeping his posture as he awaited the entrance of the visitor.

"Mu, I knew you were going to let me in." Jessica Lin smoothly walked in, smiling delicately. The tight-fit

clothes amplified her extraordinary curves. She approached Edward elegantly, step by step. Just

before she could hug him, his words stopped her.

"Miss Lin, please sit!" His tone was rigid and unwelcoming, entirely emotionless.

"Mu, why are you being so cold to me?" Jessica smiled bashfully, disregarded Edward's aloofness and

tried to lean on him. But Edward pushed the chair backwards.

"Miss Lin, please compose yourself." Edward was annoyed obviously. Why was she here? Did she

forget the things she said?

"Mu, don't be like this! I just miss you so much!" She wasn't afraid of Edward's anger. Jessica was

confident that when she told him the news, Edward would treat her as the most precious treasure.

"What are you here for, tell me!" Edward loosened his tie impatiently. He remembered the face of the

woman at home carefully tying his tie for him this morning, and it lifted his mood somehow.

"Mu, I'm pregnant." Jessica said confidently. Her beautiful face blushed.

"Come again?" Edward stopped. His deep eyes squinted, as if danger was imminent. He wasn't sure

what he had just heard.

"I said I'm pregnant. It's yours." Jessica said more loudly this time, looking so proud.

"Haha! Not funny." Edward laughed after he heard her words. He darted to where she was standing

and gripped her jaw with his bony hand. A series of chilling words ensued.

"Do you think you have the right to bear my child? Jessica, this is my last warning. I don't want to hear

that nonsense again, or -- you know what I mean." After he finished, he threw off her slim hand that

was clutching his wrist and sat back onto the chair.

Jessica's face paled. This was not what she expected at all! Shouldn't Edward be happy about her

pregnancy? She'd seen how he doted on Justin. He was supposed to love children! But why would he

be so angry?

"Mu, I don't care if you believe me. I'm carrying your baby and that's a fact." Speaking proudly, Jessica

touched her belly and handed Edward the test results. She thought she had lost the man earlier. But

God ultimately took her side and helped her carry his child.

"Haha! Jessica, are you absolutely sure that this kid is mine?" Edward coldly laughed. If any woman

could simply drop a test result sheet in front of him and claim that he was the father, then he would be

too busy to deal with anything.

"Edward, don't push it. As you well know, you are the only man I've been with all these years. Why

couldn't it be yours?" Jessica bit her lip, tears slowly welled up. Aggrieved, she stare at the man who

was as still as a divine statue.

"Jessica, are you certain that I'm the only man you've been with?" Edward's face grew dark. He glared

at her intensely, turning the atmosphere into a breathless hell ruled by a merciless devil.

"Of course I'm certain." A memory flashed through her head, but she rejected it in an instant. It couldn't

be from that encounter.

"Then go ahead and give birth to it! I do want to see if it's actually mine. If it's not -- then you should

know what would happen next."

Edward was confident. He was not to be fooled so easily. If he hadn't used protection all these years,

there would be many pregnant women at his door. Of course, Daisy was an exception. With her, it

happened when he was not entirely conscious, so that didn't count.

'Jessica Lin, pregnant, huh? This time you're really going to pay for your stupidity.'
