“Other children grow more mature as their parents educate them. But your three children are already so mature… I’m afraid no matter how you educate them, they can’t get their childishness back?“
Bethan could not refute that. She sounded right.
It was all Brettley’s fault, why were his genes so strong!
These three young children were only six years old, and yet they were way more knowledgeable than their peers!
Slipping her phone into her pocket, she brought the pregnancy tests back to her room, arranged them neatly in the drawer, then put on her mask and went to sleep.
She was dead drunk last week.
But from how heavy and fuzzy her head felt… He did not let her sleep for long.
At the thought of what happened last night, Bethan clapped her palms together in front of her chest. “ Make me pregnant, please, make me pregnant…“
After her prayers, she fell asleep in a daze. “John, listen to me, please! “
Vaguely, Bethan heard Anne’s voice drifting in from outside, she sounded like she was crying. “I really didn’t betray you! “ “You still deny it?“
Immediately after, a man’s furious roar drifted in from outside. “Anne Zimmer, we just got together for a week, am I right? I haven’t even kissed you yet and I found something like this in your house and still you say you didn’t betray me?! “
Bethan sat up in bed violently.
She opened her eyes, thinking she had a nightmare.
But then, Anne’s sobbing cries sounded outside the door and her thoughts were pulled back to reality.
It was not a dream!
She quickly stood up, opened the door and rushed out.
The living room was a mess.
Anne was sitting on the carpet, her hands tightly hugging her knees, her eyes red and puffy from all the crying.
On the ground in front of her lay the order form saying she ordered a large number of pregnancy tests.
She could probably guess what was going on.
The order form must have fallen on the floor, Anne’s boyfriend saw it, and misunderstood the situation.
She knelt down and gently hugged Anne’s shoulders. “Why didn’t you explain it to him? I was in the room, you could have woken me up, and I will explain it to him.”
Anne shook her head. “I didn’t want to disturb you because of the issues between me and John… I thought I could explain it clearly… but I didn’t know he wouldn’t believe me!”
Bethan sighed, “Then… I’ll go to him and explain?”
The misunderstanding was caused by her, she could not just sit back and watch Anne lose her first love, could she?
Anne bit her lip. “But Bethan, you’re single too. It would be bad if rumors spread, don’t you think?”
“I don’t care.”
Bethan glanced at her friend. “I am a mother of three, would I still care about rumors like this?”
“But you, you just got together with your boyfriend. You still don’t know each other well enough, and now, all of a sudden, there’s a misunderstanding. It would be a shame if you broke up because of this.”
Anne sobbed, “But I don’t know how to explain this to him…”
“I’ll do it.”
Bethan patted her on the shoulder comfortingly. “Just tell me where he’ll be, I’ll go to him and explain everything to him.“
Anne raised her head and looked at her friend, her eyes red and puffy. “I don’t know where he’s headed right now, but I know he has a dinner appointment at The Cold Jazz Bar at eight pm tonight.”
That night at eight.
The taxi stopped at the entrance of The Cold Jazz Bar. Bethan opened the door and stepped out.
Before she could enter the restaurant, a Maserati stopped on the road beside her.
The car door opened, revealing a pair of expensive men’s trousers.
Bethan rolled her eyes, turned, and walked into the restaurant, not sparing a single glance backward.
It was true then, the more you did not want to see someone, the higher the chances of bumping into him. How is it possible that she would meet Brettley in a place like this?
He used to hate going to noisy places, such as bars.
“Mr. Morrison is here! “ “It’s Mr. Morrison! “
“Quick, go and welcome him…“
The minute Bethan walked into the bar, she came face to face with a group of suited men.
Upon hearing Brettley was here, the group of men rushed to the entrance, like a group of vampires that smelled blood.
So, not only could Brettley make countless women go crazy for him, even men could not escape his charms.
“I’m sorry.“
Right when she was in the middle of her emotional rant, an elegant man ran into her.
The man simply apologized, then raised his feet and followed the group of men out to greet Brettley.
Bethan curled her lips and walked into the bar, taking out her phone and scrolling through it until she found the photo Anne had sent her.
Anne and John have been together for less than a week, and she had not been introduced to him yet.
She can only rely on photos to identify him.
The moment she clicked on the photo, she suddenly found that John looked slightly familiar.
Come to think of it, this was the man who just bumped into her.
She scrunched her eyebrows, put her phone away, turned and stood in the corner of the entrance, scanning the crowd for John.
The entrance of the bar was crowded with people.
Several men in expensive suits were gathered around Brettley, humbly talking about something.
Although Bethan did not love him anymore, she still had to admit that Brettley still stood out amongst the crowd.
He was incredibly tall, just standing there, he was heads and shoulders above everyone else.
And coupled with his cold and haughty temperament…
He was always the most eye-catching man in the crowd.
Bethan stood there looking at him, forgetting her purpose in coming here tonight.
She watched him say something to the men grouped around him, his expression calm and indifferent, the gaze in his eyes deep and bottomless.
Suddenly, he glanced in her direction. Their eyes met in mid-air.
There was nothing in his eyes but cold indifference.
Bethan shuddered, immediately turning away, pretending not to see him, and continued scanning the crowd for John.
Brettley’s lips curled up in a sneer when he saw her avoid his gaze, retracted his gaze, and continued to listen to the men’s words as he slowly entered the bar.
The onlookers parted to give way to them, and then followed them silently.
After searching through the crowd for a long time, she finally spotted him, following closely behind the crowd.
“Mr. Young.”
She walked toward him. “I am Anne’s friend, I would like to have a chat with you.”
John had no intention of listening to her. He frowned slightly at the mention of Anne and turned back to look at her.
“Anne’s friend? Why, you’re here to put in a good word for her?”
He glanced at her indifferently. “Don’t waste your time and effort. I pursued her because I thought she’s a kind and innocent girl, but the first time I came to her house, I found a pregnancy test. She’s completely different from what I thought, I think maybe I misunderstood her, maybe we’re not right for each other after all.”
With that, he turned around, leaving behind nothing but a cold view of his retreating back. ” I still have an important dinner appointment. I don’t have time to waste talking here with you.”
“Wait!”
Bethan bit her lip, knowing full well that if John could misunderstand Anne so easily for something so minor, maybe he did not like her that much.
