Chapter 169 Alfred Chow and Rachel Scott Tied the Knot
Vanessa was surprised to see Georgia and Robert here.
And was saddened by Georgia question.
“No big deal, Rachel showed me her marriage certificate, she married Alfred.”
Alfred married Rachel? Georgia had no idea what were they doing.
But she didn’t ask much looking at Vanessa’s sobbing face.
She walked towards Vanessa who was sitting on the sofa.
“What’s with the two guards outside?”
“They are sent by Alfred, Elsie went with Alfred to investigate on the videos, but she was concerned about my safety, I didn’t tell you that there are tons of reporter gathered around this area. Elsie was afraid that someone might hurt me and requested protection from Alfred.”
Hearing this, Georgia thought the relationship between Alfred and Vanessa became more complicated.
They were divorced and he was married to Rachel but sent guards to protect Vanessa?
Their chords were still connected, it was not cut entirely.
She had so many questions to ask but looking at Vanessa’s sobbing face, Georgia swallowed them.
The romantic relationship was never easy.
“Vanessa, I knew that this place is not safe and even worse now with all the reporters downstairs. Why don’t you come live with me at Robert’s villa for the time being? Annie is there too, I’ll worry less if we live under one roof.”
Georgia tried persuading Vanessa to live with her in the villa.
Vanessa hesitated, that was Robert’s villa, she felt uncomfortable living in someone else’s home.
Noticed her hesitation, Georgia continued.
“Vanessa, the discussion war will last for quite some time, it might take around ten days. Do you not want to see Annie for ten days? Furthermore, you’ll only be there for a while, and I won’t be home all the time, I need to work, if you were there, you could take care of Annie for me, I trust you fully with Annie.”
Vanessa was persuaded. “Alright, I will go with you then.”
She then walked over to the guards and explained the whole thing.
They couldn’t decide and called Alfred.
One of the guards then handed Vanessa the phone, it was Alfred on the other side.
“Are you sure you want to leave the apartment? Georgia and Robert’s are the talks of the town now, there are more people around their villa. It’s actually safer if you stay in the apartment, I don’t recommend you to leave the apartment and go there.”
“Alfred, thanks for sending your guards, but we are divorced, I’m free to stay where I want to. And congratulation on tying the knot with Rachel, you are someone else’s husband now, please keep things clear between us, keep a distance, okay?”
Alfred became speechless for some time and then he continued.
“Okay if this is what you want, but don’t hesitate to call me if you need help, don’t keep it to yourself.”
Vanessa replied with “Hmm”.
But they were divorced, she didn’t want to have anything to do with Alfred anymore even if she was in trouble.
He was someone else’s husband now, she should cut the tie entirely.
Alfred then instructed something to the guards after his conversation with Vanessa.
Georgia finally managed to bring Vanessa out of the apartment.
Annie was thrilled to see Vanessa.
They kissed each other on the cheeks and Annie was eager to show off her toy room to Vanessa.
The room was fifty square meters in size, filled with various children toys and games.
“Mom, these are my favourite dolls and the building blocks, I can never perfect it, it’s hard… Can you help me, mom…”
Annie introduced her toys to Vanessa excitedly, Georgia smiled watching them.
After Annie had finally finished introducing her toys, Vanessa went to Georgia.
“Robert treats Annie well, I was concern that Robert will mind that Annie is not his child and treats her badly. But looking at how nice he is to Annie now, regardless of whether it is sincere or just because of you, it doesn’t matter, I don’t worry anymore. I won’t object if you want to bring Annie and live here after you married him.”
“Vanessa, don’t overthink about the future, even if I married Robert and have Annie lives with me, you can still come to visit anytime you want.”
“You’re the one who had been taking care of Annie, I know how dependent she is on you. She had been complaining about not seeing you these few days, that’s why I wanted to bring you here. You
were the one who took care of her for the past six years while I was in prison, your contribution is way higher than mine.”
Vanessa smiled, it doesn’t matter with whom the child lived with, nothing could come in between her and Georgia.
Both of them spent some time playing with Annie in the room and then Robert arrived in a wheelchair pushed by the housekeeper to call them out for lunch.
“Annie, you must be really happy with both your mommies here with you today, right?”
Robert smiled at Annie.
Robert and Annie’s relationship had improved a lot these few days, Annie didn’t reject Robert anymore but still wasn’t that intimate.
She smiled at Robert.
“Uncle Robert, of course, I am happy with mommies, I heard that lunch is ready, what do we have for lunch today?”
Annie asked excitedly.
“We have your favourite braised fish and spicy and sour stir-fried potatoes, shall we have lunch now?”
Annie nodded, she smiled at Vanessa and Georgia.
“Mom, mommy, let’s go for lunch.”
Georgia’s appetite had improved a little, perhaps it was the result of forcing herself but she had managed to control her tendency to throw up, and forced more food down the throat.
Annie went for a nap after lunch.
Vanessa and Georgia were chatting in the garden while Robert worked in the study room. They were busy on their own.
“It’s still hard for you to eat, does Robert knows about this? And have you told him about the baby in your womb?”
They were having tea in the garden when Vanessa asked.
“I don’t know why, every time I wanted to tell, there were reasons not to. I’ve been feeling quite well these few days, maybe I could keep the baby.”
Georgia still had hope for the baby, she could ask Robert if he minded Annie’s background, but she dared not tell about the baby she was carrying.
“I don’t know how to tell him and I know I can’t keep hiding it, Vanessa, what should I do?”
“I think you should tell him but if you need more time, you can do it when you are well prepared. Why are you afraid to tell him?”
Why was she afraid? She trusted Robert now and was brave enough to be with him.
But it was out of love.
Rationally, she worried too much, she was afraid that Robert would not believe that he was the father of the baby she was carrying.
She knew Robert trusted her but she was still afraid, she didn’t understand either the reason for her cowardice.
“Give me some time, I will have to tell eventually.”
Everyone went for an afternoon nap.
Georgia and Robert were enjoying the sunset after they woke up.
Robert asked.
“You seems to be hiding something from me, do you? Don’t take the burden all by yourself.”
“Robert, are you looking forward to having a baby of our own?” Georgia asked.
“Do you feel pressured by what I said before? Giving birth harm the female body, I do wish for a baby of our own, but you must be willing to do so. Your body suffers a lot during pregnancy, if you do it just because I want to, then I’m a selfish bastard. I’ll be a little disappointed if you say no but will also respect your decision.”
Robert thought his love of children gave Georgia pressure.
He read a lot of book regarding pregnancy and childbirth, he knew even with medical advancement today, it is still harmful to the body.
It was no easy task to carry the baby for ten months, all sorts of pain and hormones problems, he would never force Georgia to do that.
Georgia shook her head.
“I was thinking whether you will be happy if I’m pregnant.”
“Of course I will be happy. Men are all alike, they turn really emotional the moment they become a father. A father has a huge responsibility towards his child, from the birth until the upbringing, all these required efforts and sacrifices, happiness alone is not enough.”
“Actually I…”
Georgia wanted to tell him that she was pregnant but was interrupted by an incoming call.
“Hold on, I have to answer this.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes?”
Robert asked his assistant.
“Mr Simpson, we have the result of what happened at the hospital yesterday.”
“Is there valuable news?”
Georgia was concerned about what happened to Travis and Robert too interested in who wanted to murder Travis.
