Chapter 30 Pregnancy

The silvery-gray sports car left Maple Garden, the residential area where Yuliana lived. The car maintained a high speed on the road before a screeching sound was heard, and the car stopped at the roadside.

The street light above shone on the man’s deep and distinct profile through the car window. His pale gray eyes stared at the front quietly for a moment before he reached out his hand to touch the cigarette pack in the storage nook next to him. He then lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth before lowering the window. Christopher appeared calm as he leaned back in the chair and smoked. However, his thoughts were not visible on his face.

He suddenly lifted his eyelids when his cigarette was about to burn out. He clicked on the address book on his phone, flipped through it, and dialed a number.

The call was connected. Christopher smiled and said, “Mrs. Ford, it’s me, Christopher.”

“Hey, Chris!” the middle-aged woman on the other side of the phone greeted Christopher with a familiar tone. “Are you looking for Leonard? He’s not at home. He’s probably hanging out with Raymond. Why are you not with them?”

The woman on the other end of the call was Rosalyn Ford, Leonard’s mother.

Christopher replied in a jokingly flippant tone, “Mrs. Ford, don’t call it hanging out. We call it emotional contact nowadays.”

Rosalyn was amused by his words. “Yeah, right. Emotional contact, is it? Whatever. What are you calling me for?”

Christopher said, “Because I miss you!”

“Yeah, right. Like I don’t know you.” Rosalyn then asked again, “Well? Tell me why you’re calling.”

Christopher was silent for a few seconds before saying, “It’s just… A friend of mine seems to be in poor health recently. They are always retching and vomiting. What do you think is the problem?”

Rosalyn asked, “Are they a man or a woman?”

Christopher answered hesitatingly, “A woman…”

“A woman?” Rosalyn was shocked and said, “Chris, did you get someone pregnant?”
