Chapter 59 She is a Pregnant Woman
Susanna saw the familiar document and knew what it was.
She didn't take it. "I said I don't want anything."
She didn't need any property he gave her.
The man frowned. "I don't have time to play with you now."
"Aaron, I never said I was playing. I mean it."
Susanna turned to look at him. "You said you hated being calculated in marriage, and this was indeed a dream of mine back then. I'm sure my presence in the past three years must have made you sick. So consider it as compensation for your emotional losses. You don't have to pay me any money. I don't want anything."
Aaron put down his hand rubbing his temples and turned his head to see her clean and calm eyes.
His mood didn't improve much. He placed the document between them. "There's no need. This is what I should give. I'm not so stingy with a woman who has been with me."
Susanna glanced at the document and tore it in half directly. "I know Mr. Abbott is generous, but I have the right to choose not to want it."
The man was very surprised to see the torn document.
He finally leaned back on the back seat and said lightly, "Do as you please, don't regret it."
Susanna also turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the window, silently repeating in her heart: I won't regret it.
Because she had already taken away his most precious thing.
Having a baby accompany her was enough.
The two of them were the first to arrive at the government office. After filling out the divorce application, they learned that there was still a one-month cooling-off period for divorce.
They couldn't complete the divorce procedures immediately. They needed one more month.
Susanna didn't expect that there would still be a cooling-off period for divorce.
After submitting the application materials, she left the government office.
She glanced at the man beside her. "Let's come back after a month. Don't worry, I won't regret it. You arrange for your grandmother's surgery as soon as possible."
Aaron's voice was low. "I know, you don't need to remind me."
The man left quickly, and Susanna didn't have the face to take the car. She turned around and hailed a taxi.
Aaron sat in the car, watching her get into the taxi and leave before retracting his gaze.
Assistant Lee, who was in the passenger seat, cautiously spoke, "Mr. Abbott."
The man sounded a little impatient. "Speak."
"Miss Erica has called several times, saying she wants to talk to you."
Aaron put down his hand and looked out the window. After a while, he answered, "Okay."
The black luxury car quickly left the spot.
Susanna went to school as usual, but when she saw the red ink on her fingers, she froze and remembered the government matter.
She was mentally prepared to get divorced today, but she didn't expect it to fail.
In the evening, on her way back to the villa after class, she received a call from Austin: "Susanna, when will your friend show me the case files?"
"Austin, it's not necessary for now. They have found a suitable doctor there, so the surgery should be fine."
"Oh, I see. Okay then."
Austin hung up the phone with some regret, thinking he could help his sister and give her face in front of her friends, but the opportunity was gone again.
He couldn't help but sigh, because of his profession, he both wanted to help his sister and didn't want her to come to him for help.
It was really conflicting.
Soon, Austin received a message from Erica: [Austin, can we meet and talk? Grandma Abbott's surgery is very important to me.]
Austin frowned, closed the dialogue box directly, pretending not to have seen anything, some things didn't need to be discussed.
On the other hand, Susanna returned home after hanging up the phone, only Taylor was there, Aaron still hadn't come back.
Taylor thought she would be angry and comforted her, saying, "Mr. Abbott is usually very busy with work, Madam should also be happy alone. If you're bored, you can go shopping and buy something."
"Taylor, I'm fine. I understand his work."
Susanna pretended as if nothing had happened, and after dinner, she studied some knowledge about pregnant women with the nanny, which was what she needed to learn at the moment.
She also desperately wanted to forget many things.
The next day, when Susanna was browsing the headlines, she saw an entertainment news – [Wealthy socialite Erica and her boyfriend dine together, then go to a jewelry store to buy a ring.]
After seeing this entertainment news, she felt extremely stifled.
Although she still couldn't see his face like last time, the silhouette was clearly Aaron with Erica.
They went to the divorce yesterday, and in the evening they went to a jewelry store to buy a ring.
They're pretty fast.
Susanna turned off her phone and focused on learning about pregnant women's knowledge, so as not to have wild thoughts.
In the afternoon, when she had no classes, she went to work at Q.F. Studio after all, because she needed money now.
For several days in a row, Aaron didn't return to the villa, but Susanna didn't feel anything. She ate, drank, and studied infant knowledge diligently.
Grandma Abbott's condition stabilized and she was transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward.
Susanna carried the soup she made herself and went to the hospital to visit Grandma Abbott. After she pushed the door and entered the ward, she saw Erica and Maud there too.
Aaron was also standing beside them.
Her footsteps paused slightly, "I'll come in later."
After all, in this situation, she didn't feel appropriate to disturb their family.
But Grandma Abbott waved at her with a smile, "Come over here."
Susanna reluctantly walked over, and Erica, who was sitting next to her, stood up with a fake smile, "Miss Miller, sit here."
Susanna didn't sit down either. Instead, she put the thermos on the bedside table, "Grandma, this is the soup I made for you. Remember to drink some later."
"Okay, I will remember. How have you been recently? Has the baby in your belly been bothering you?"
When it came to the child, the atmosphere in the ward became a bit awkward.
Susanna looked a bit unnatural, "The baby is very well-behaved. Actually, it doesn't give me any trouble."
Grandma Abbott laughed and said, "When Maud was pregnant with Aaron, it was the same, particularly trouble-free."
Maud, next to them, felt a bit proud, "That's right, back then I could eat anything and be fine..."
Maud saw Susanna's belly and immediately closed her mouth. But after her son grew up, he wasn't as obedient and well-behaved as he was when he was little, and he certainly didn't give her peace of mind like when he was in her belly.
Susanna smiled awkwardly. Could it be genetic?
At this moment, Aaron spoke, "Grandma needs to rest, let's go."
Susanna held the old lady's hand, "Then I'll come to see you another day."
"I'm fine, Aaron. You should take good care of your wife, she is pregnant now."
The old lady handed her hand over to Aaron, and Susanna's breathing paused slightly as she wanted to take her hand back.
But Aaron naturally took her hand and his palm was dry and firm, making her particularly uncomfortable, especially with Erica's piercing gaze.
Only then was Grandma Abbott satisfied, "Go on, you two take care."
Hearing Grandma Abbott's words, Susanna couldn't even look at the old lady with her eyes downcast.
The group left the ward.
Susanna felt extremely embarrassed. After all, she didn't want to hold hands with Aaron.
Maud walked over directly, "Susanna, let go of his hand! We don't need your acting now."
Their hands were separated, and Susanna quickly stepped aside.
Erica stepped forward and held her arm, "Miss Miller, do you mind if we talk?"
