Chapter 44 Just Give Birth to the Baby
After Darcy left, Hellen sat down next to the bed and chatted with Everet for a while.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Someone had already reported Everet the matter of Donte Wilson. His face darkened a little. “I didn’t expect him to have such a mind. When I was here, he was well-behaved. Now he must think you are ignorant, so he bullied you.”
Hellen smiled. “Isn’t that pretty good? With you around, those who harbor evil intentions don’t dare to come out and make a fuss. We can take advantage of this time when you’re recuperating to find all of them out.”
Everet smiled and reached out to rub her hair. “Thank you, Hellen.”
Hellen dodged his hand. “Enough. There’s something important I need to discuss with you.”
“What else could it be?” Everet deliberately asked carelessly.
Hellen smiled indifferently and whispered a few words into his ear.
He froze, and in the next second, he almost jumped off the bed.
“What, you are pregnan-”
“Lower your voice!” Hellen pulled him to sit down.
“Who’s the father?”
Hellen stared at him. “What do you think?”
“Oh. You were enthralled by that fuckboy to such an extent. Who else could the father be?” Everet sat on the bed with a solemn expression. “Hellen, what do you plan to do?”
“What can I do? Just give birth to the baby.” Hellen smiled. She stroked her belly and said softly, “It may be a boy or a girl. This is your niece or nephew.”
Everet thought for a moment with a complicated look. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, “All right, you just give birth to the baby and I can help you bring him up!”
“I can afford to raise him myself,” Hellen said softly to Everet that she was planning to find a fake father for her child.
“Although we may win over the Grant family, it’s still too troublesome. I only need a man now.”
Hellen frowned. “I have told you first. Tomorrow, when Mother comes, you tell her. I’m afraid that if I tell, she won’t be able to accept it for now.”
Everet agreed.
When Darcy returned with a cup of warm water, her face darkening, Hellen left.
“Darcy, thank you.”
Darcy waved her hand dismissively. “Go back and rest early. You don’t look well.”
Hellen was not tired. Her bad look was purely caused by the child in her belly.
When she drove home, her mother was already sitting on the sofa in the living room. She was seeing her video on her mobile phone.
Hellen said hello and returned to her bedroom. She didn’t dare tell her mother that she was pregnant, so she had her brother be the vanguard.
…
In the old house of the Grant family.
In the dining room, Natalie looked at the dishes served by the chef and said, “Simmer the porridge longer. Grandma’s teeth aren’t good.”
“Miss Susan, don’t worry. These are Mrs. Grant’s habits,” the chef said respectfully.
Natalie made a sound of agreement from her throat. She stirred the porridge with a spoon as if she was examining something. It was the way the hostess did things.
Lady Grant took Miss Grant to the dinner party today, so there was only Granny Grant and Natalie in the old house.
The chef had worked here for a long time, so he knew the taste of everyone in the family. Moreover, he had been poached from the Michelin restaurant by Hans, so the Grant family had always been kind to him.
But he didn’t expect Miss Susan to be so picky.
After Natalie had found fault with him for a long time, Granny Grant came out of the side hall on the first floor.
Seeing this, Natalie went up to her in a hurry. “Grandma, dinner is ready. I’ll have dinner with you.”
But Granny Grant avoided Natalie’s hand. “You don’t have to help me, I can still walk.”
Natalie stiffened, and then she smiled brightly. “You are healthy. That’s our blessing.”
Granny Grant’s impression of Natalie was still based on the fact that she had caused trouble for her granddaughter-in-law.
“Natalie, although you’re Hans’ friend, you should call me Granny Grant. Only my grandson and granddaughter-in-law can call me Grandma.”
Natalie had hatred, but she still answered with a forced smile, “I know. Then I’ll serve Granny Grant to dinner.”
When they were seated, Granny Grant waved her hand and said, “Sit down. I’m fine. Hans insisted on asking you to take care of me. You’re also a guest of ours. There’s no such thing as a guest taking care of the host.”
Although her words were polite, they were also distant.
Natalie gritted her teeth and sat down. The dishes on the table were exquisite, but she had no appetite at all!
“Damned old woman, you don’t have many years to live. I’ll just let her take advantage of her seniority for a while!”
After dinner, Granny Grant sat at the table without moving.
Natalie stood up and asked, “Granny Grant, shall I help you back to your room to rest, or shall I accompany you for a walk in the garden?”
Granny Grant shook her head. “You should go back earlier.”
As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and looked at the time. “Armon, bring me my reading glasses. It’s already eight o’clock. Granddaughter-in-Law is going to do a live stream.”
The butler hurried to her room, while she got up and moved to the living room.
Natalie was left hanging where she was, so angry that her vision blurred.
Granddaughter-in-Law!
She called her so close, but unfortunately, she didn’t know that Hellen had divorced Hans long ago!
In the living room, Granny Grant ordered the butler to help her recharge, saying that she would send great tips and gifts to her granddaughter-in-law later.
Natalie was about to leave with her bag when she heard Armon calling for Granny Grant a few times.
She hurriedly turned back and saw that Granny Grant was staring ahead dazedly as if she was lost in thought.
“Where’s Hellen? I want to see Hellen.”
Armon whispered, “She is ill. Come here quickly!”
The maids, who were waiting by the side, hurried forward to support Granny Grant and coaxed her.
“Madam, Mrs. Grant will be back soon.”
“Yeah, she’s on her way. She just called and told you to rest for a while. She’ll wake you up when she gets there.”
A few maids coaxed the old lady like coaxing a child.
Natalie’s hands were trembling. She was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot.
“Mrs. Grant, I’m the future Mrs. Grant of the Grant family!”
It was better for this old woman to die of a sudden illness!
Granny Grant was suffering from Alzheimer’s. In the end, she would turn into a retard.
Natalie raised her chin and turned to leave. She remembered that this kind of disease was incurable. She would have a chance to deal with this old woman in the future!
…
On the weekend, in the Jovano family.
Hellen squinted, curled up on the sofa, ate fruits, and watched a movie.
This weekend, there was not too much business in The Jovano Group, so she asked Mike to stay in the company. It was rare for her to take half a day off.
There was a live stream in the evening. So Hellen would watch some dramas she hadn’t finished watching in the day.
Lady Jovano was about to go out, but when she passed by the living room and saw Hellen, she told her, “Eat more fruit. It’s good for the baby.”
She nodded with shock.
Her brother told her mother about her pregnancy the day before yesterday, but she didn’t expect things to go so smoothly. Her mother actually agreed.
Her opinion was similar to Everet’s. She respected Hellen’s way of thinking and believed she could give birth to the baby if she wanted.
After confirming that she would have a grandson or granddaughter, Lady Jovano was also happy.
“Mom, when will you be back?”
“Kathy’s son is getting married. There are many things I need to help with. I won’t be back until nightfall.” Lady Jovano glanced sideways at Hellen. “If you don’t want to go, then stay at home. Don’t go out. I told Kathy that you are sick.”
“I know, thank you, Mom,” Hellen said coquettishly.
