Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love

Chapter 147 Alfred Admits His Origins

“Maybe they see eye to eye to each other now? Jennifer is giving all of her attention to my brother currently, and as long as she could continue to treat my brother well, I will turn a blind eye to her past. I am really tired now, Miss Lane. Do you have anything else you want to know?”

Selena was saying the last sentence and hoping that Georgia could get the cue that she wanted to hang up now. Georgia immediately asked her the final question, “Robert’s father was investigating that car from that day. Hasn’t he found the car owner yet?”

“I don’t know about that. I have been very busy the past two days, and I’ve forgotten to ask Robert’s father about it. Miss Lane, I can pass you his number, and you can ask him yourself.”

“Then I’ll have to thank you for that.”

After the two of them hung up, Georgia stared at the number belonging to Robert’s father. She was stuck in a dilemma. Should she call this number?

Georgia couldn’t come to a decision at the moment.

She decided not to overthink this at the moment. She should just have some good sleep, and then she would think about this after her pregnancy test tomorrow.

On the other hand, on an island in Hawaii, Robert has been discharged from the hospital. He would take a flight back to the country tomorrow.

At the moment, Robert also learnt the news about Jasper and Jennifer’s engagement, which aroused his suspicion. He immediately called Jasper, “Why are you planning to marry Jennifer? That woman is a maniac, and it’s not like you don’t know that.”

Robert began questioning with a doubtful tone. Jasper responded with a sigh at the other end, and he began to describe what had happened at the Murphy family banquet before he launched into a

complain, “Do you think that I really want to marry her? A knife is pressed against my throat. I don’t have a choice in this matter, you know. It’s not like you don’t know that Jennifer is the only daughter who was treasured by her parents and in a twist of my worst fate I happened to sleep with her. If I didn’t take responsibility for that, both my parents and Jennifer’s parents would berate and torture me until I would no longer be human. Instead of that happening, I chose the easier way, that was to give all of my cooperation. It’s just marrying a wife, everyone doesn’t have to get stuck up on it.”

Based on Robert’s understanding of Jennifer, with how she had been pestering him for more than ten years, it was unbelievable for her to willingly marry Jasper. There must be more than meets the eyes.

“Jasper, don’t you even think for a second that there’s a motive behind Jennifer’s move here? I have a feeling that she would cook up something.”

Robert was in fact feeling a little sorry. He had been rejecting Jennifer for many years, which indirectly drover her to madness.

And from the looks of things now, this mad woman was now involving his band of brothers. Despite the circumstances, not only Jasper wasn’t the least bit concerned, he even started to guffaw, “You don’t need to sound so sorry. Jennifer has been crazy for a long time. Now that she has chosen to marry me, even if she wants to create some ruckus or wants to use me, do you think I have no way of pushing her away? We don’t even know who would win in this match where each of us would claw away at the other, at least for now, you know.”

How could Jasper not know that this marriage was a farce from the beginning? That didn’t account for the fact that Jennifer and him were indeed drunk together that night and they had made love.

If taking into account how crazily in love Jennifer was towards Robert, not only she wouldn’t admit having anything to do with Jasper, she would have continued to stick to Robert. Not only that didn’t

happen, Jennifer appeared to want to marry him no matter what, which gave him the impression that she was scheming something.

Jasper wasn’t really fazed by the possibility of Jennifer playing tricks on him. He was fully confident that he would have a way of taking care of this woman. He always felt that besides his mother and his younger sister, there was no one in the world who could shake him up from within, not to mention hurting him.

Robert continued this conversation with Jasper for a little longer, and Jasper even offered to get him at the airport. However, Robert only wanted to see Georgia, so he kindly declined Jasper’s goodwill.

After hanging up the phone, Robert suddenly felt like giving Georgia a surprise call, to ask her about whether she was ready to come get him tomorrow. He had a surprise in store for her.

He initially wanted to inform Georgia about his father’s findings about that car owner, who turned out to be Ivan. But when he woke up that day, he felt like it would be better to tell her personally after alighting from the plane.

The thing was, when the time to return to country approached, Robert began to feel an uneasiness wrapping him. He was worried that Georgia wouldn’t come to fetch him at the airport.

With his phone in his hand, he hesitated for a long time, still unable to make that call. He noticed that his mother had replied him with a text message, and it was after so long after his last phone call. This was the first time his mother had contacted him after that.

“I have listened to the news in your voice message that you have left for me. Since we can’t pull ourselves clear from the Lane family, you have to get down to this matter once you return to the country. Your father should be in the country, and you two should investigate about that accident involving Wendy. I don’t want to see your father and you for now. I just want to unwind overseas here, so don’t ask about my whereabouts. I will come back after some time.”

After reading the text message, Robert tried calling her again, but nobody was picking up too this time.

It seemed that his mother was still angry. Robert could only give up for now. Perhaps he had really hurt her mother’s heart.

Robert just hoped that he could find even more definitive evidence so that his mother could believe that Georgia was innocent all along.

Because of this text message, Robert suddenly lost all of his courage to call Georgia.

He should preserve his surprise for tomorrow when he arrived home. By then, he could really see Georgia again, and after pressing down his longing for her, Robert closed his eyes in preparation for his sleep.

Whereas in the country, it was only night time.

Georgia, Vanessa and Annie finished dinner and they wanted to take a stroll around the area.

After some time, a young man wearing suit walked towards them.

“Young miss, the old man wants to see you.”

Vanessa and Georgia couldn’t understand what that young man was talking about.

Georgia caught a glimpse of a few bodyguards in black suits surrounding an old man sitting on a wheelchair, and one of the bodyguards had pushed the old man forward to their front.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what you are saying. Why are you calling me the young miss? And who am I supposed to see now?”

Vanessa began to ask with confusion while the old man on the wheelchair was already in front of Vanessa.

“I am Alfred’s grandfather, Vanessa. After you have married Alfred, he never brings you back to G City. Alfred’s mother has come to Imperial City recently but she didn’t bring you back either. That only leaves me with the choice of coming to see my granddaughter-in-law by myself.”

After that old man had finished his words, both Vanessa and Georgia had an astonished look on their faces.

Since such a fiasco had happened on Alfred and Vanessa’s wedding, none of the members of the Chow family had attended the wedding. Now, Alfred’s mother has come to visit her, bringing with her the message to divorce the two of them. Vanessa had agreed to it on the spot.

However, Alfred himself came the very next day. His face told her that he clearly didn’t want to divorce her.

And now, Alfred’s grandfather had appeared in front of Vanessa, and his demeanour was gentle and mellow. He even referred to her as his granddaughter-in-law. Could it be that the Chow family actually didn’t mind what had happened on the wedding?

Georgia and Vanessa were perplexed by the turn of events. They could only address this old man politely.

Besides, they didn’t know what else to say. They just stood curtly and awkwardly in front of this old man. At that moment, Alfred’s grandfather began to talk, “I heard from Alfred’s mother that Alfred didn’t want to part ways with you. Since that’s the case, Alfred has set his eyes on you as his wife, so I decided to come to Imperial City by my own volition to take a look at you.”

Vanessa’s heart was scrambling now. She didn’t know where this conversation which was led by this old man was going.

“Grandfather, I actually agreed to divorce him because I don’t want to embarrass Alfred by staying together with him. Alfred is just feeling indignant, and he is very resentful towards me. A divorce might be the best choice for everyone. Even if he didn’t agree to divorce now, he would in the future.”

After Vanessa had said that, the old man surprisingly began to laugh.

“I used to think that you are a very superficial girl, so when Alfred insisted to marry you at that time, I didn’t come to your wedding, and so were the Chow family. That was because we thought that Alfred was too reckless. However, now, I am pretty sure that Alfred has set his eyes on you. Even if something so major has happened on the wedding, he still didn’t want to divorce you, so he wouldn’t divorce you no matter what in the future.”

“But, even if Alfred didn’t mind this, everyone knows about what had happened on that day. Grandfather, do you want to see the Chow family turns into a laughing stock? I don’t know why do you come looking for me today, but I don’t really think I am worthy of being your granddaughter-in-law.”

Vanessa felt very repulsive when it came to the matter of her being together with Alfred even if Alfred’s grandfather was very friendly with his attitude now. It seemed apparent that he didn’t mind one bit about that incident on the wedding.

However, the wedding was not the only thing souring their ties. There were still strange videos that circulated around which depicted them.

Although Georgia had said that it might be another woman who resembled her, but they couldn’t find this woman yet, which meant Vanessa had no way to rid herself of the blame.

After Vanessa said that, the old man once again guffawed.

“Before the marriage, I actually didn’t go through your background at all, but after that incident, I specially went to look into you and found that you are an orphan. I have sent people to find someone

who looks like you and then we could announce to the public that you are not the subject in the video. As for the truth of the matter, Miss Cooke, as long as you stay loyal to my grandson, I will be able to make Alfred’s mother turn a blind eye to your past, and I will make sure you steady yourself as Alfred’s wife in the family. That way, the people of the Chow family wouldn’t have any objections, and the world would think that you have been framed, that it was a video depicting somebody else.”

Vanessa couldn’t understand why did Alfred’s grandfather want her to be his wife, but she suddenly said with emotion, “Grandfather, actually my best friend has seen someone who looks so much like me. I have a suspicion that I might have a twin…”

At the same time, on the other side of the Imperial City, after laying low for a few days, Alfred came to Mrs. Chow and showed the test result validating their blood ties to her. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Mrs. Chow took that file with confusion written all over her face. When she opened the file and saw that it was a test result of their blood ties, she asked Alfred questioningly, “Why did you suddenly go do this test? Who are being tested here?”

Alfred raised his head at Mrs. Chow and he articulated each word carefully, “Mrs. Chow, this is precisely a test result of our relationship. According to what is written there, you and I are not mother and son.”

After Alfred had said that, Mrs. Chow’s face immediately became pale.
