Chapter 265 Have You Been Vomiting a Lot Since Pregnancy?
Donovan parked the car in front of a high-end restaurant.
Chloe followed Donovan, her hand on her waist.
"Do you really not want to eat?" Donovan began ordering.
"Yes, please give me a glass of lemon water; thank you," Chloe politely said to the waiter.
Donovan ordered a serving of foie gras, caviar, a medium rare steak, sashimi, vegetable salad, and a small dessert.
Since it was the holiday season, Donovan ate leisurely and calmly.
"Aren't you eating?" Donovan asked her.
"I'm not hungry," Chloe said, chatting with Donovan while browsing through the chat records with Brayden on her phone.
She hadn't had the chance to check yet.
Brayden: [Virgil is Carol's father, quite wealthy, and he knows Ronald. I reckon they planned this together - he took over the firm forcefully. I know staying at First Accounting Firm is not an option for you anymore; the longer you stay, the worse it'll get. I've talked to Ann, and she agreed to have you move to South Central Accounting Firm, where I still have a 20% stake. Is that okay? I'll exit First Accounting Firm soon, too. Our partnership in the firm, in just a few months, has already fallen apart.]
Chloe didn't reply.
Ann also sent Chloe a message on WhatsApp: [Chloe, come work with me. What does that Virgil amount to? Just because he has some money, he thinks he's so great. Carol is a wealthy woman who has always wanted to assert herself in the firm. However, you, with your bachelor's degree, perform better than her. She's jealous of you. She's afraid of being laughed at, so she gave Virgil this bad idea.]
Chloe replied: [I understand, Ann. I'm pregnant now and want to take good care of myself. I'm not thinking about the firm for now.]
Ann: [If you have any difficulties, come to me.]
Chloe: [Okay.]
Chloe didn't want to return to First Accounting, let alone go to South Central Accounting. She had traumas about both places.
Ann's words made her feel relieved. Now, all she wanted was to study abroad.
However, the offer from Suncrest University hadn't arrived yet.
Though it hadn't been long, Chloe was feeling anxious.
She sent Brayden a message: [I'll give you my email account and password. Find someone to check it for me. What if the email gets lost?]
Brayden replied: [Okay.]
Chloe knew Brayden wouldn't reply so quickly, but she was very anxious, constantly fiddling with her phone.
"Do you want some cake?" Donovan asked Chloe.
"Pregnant women shouldn't eat desserts," Chloe casually remarked.
"Why?" Donovan didn't understand.
"Eating desserts can make the fetus too big, putting pressure on the pregnant woman. It's important to control blood sugar strictly. If the baby is too big, it can lead to difficulties during childbirth," Chloe explained absentmindedly.
"Is that so?" he asked.
She answered, "Yes."
"Do you feel like vomiting a lot since you got pregnant?" Donovan asked again.
He suddenly seemed interested in Chloe's pregnancy.
"I haven't vomited. The babies are very well-behaved," Chloe said, lowering her head and gently touching her belly.
Donovan furrowed his brows slightly.
Chloe drank two glasses of lemon water and went to the restroom.
Donovan called the waiter to accompany her and had her phone with her since she was afraid that Donovan would check her phone again.
As she walked out of the restroom, she received a message from Brayden on WhatsApp: [Suncrest University sent you an offer on Christmas Eve at nine o'clock, but someone deleted it. I managed to recover it for you. Take a look.]
Chloe's heart skipped a beat.
When she saw the genuine offer, Chloe almost jumped for joy.
The email was in her inbox, safe and sound. It shouldn't have been deleted.
At nine o'clock that evening, Donovan slept by her side while she was still asleep.
Suddenly, a surge of anger rushed to Chloe's head. She felt dizzy and sat on the sofa near the restroom door for a while.
Today, Chloe witnessed Donovan dropping her cross, receiving a blow from Virgil, and losing her job, which left her in a very bad mood. Now, she has found out that Donovan deleted her email.
She thought, 'He is really something!'
'He is really bold!'
Chloe's face flushed with anger, and her stomach started to cramp and ache spasmodically.
"Miss, what's wrong?" the waiter beside Chloe asked.
Seeing Chloe's face turning paler, the waiter hurried to call Donovan.
