Waiting For a Girl Like You - Chapter 1094 Is Irene Pregnant
“You are still underage,” he responded, his voice devoid of any type of emotion. “And as your ‘temporary guardian’, I have every right to act like it.”
Because Steven had specifically entrusted that responsibility to him, he was committed to doing a good job.
“Do you really think I care about all of that? Please ask your men to leave now. I don’t need you and any kind of surveillance from you,” Selina demanded. “And please, aren’t you just seventeen years old? You yourself are underage. What makes you think that you have what it takes to care of me?”
Searing hatred tainted Selina’s voice. She had always despised being contained in one place because the stuffy air made her feel nauseated. Even at that moment, she started feeling suffocated just by the thought of being restricted by Adonis’ people.
Even if she had caused great troubles in Yu Sea City in the past, her father never tried to do anything of the sort to her.
Upon hearing what Selina said, Adonis was struck by a stunning realization: Selina knew how to effectively make him mad. ‘It’s either that, or I’m just too sensitive, ‘ he thought to himself, pondering on what he just discovered.
‘How could an eleven-year-old girl make my emotions run wild like this again and again?’
“In JA City, boys aged seventeen are already considered as adults,” Adonis finally said after a few moments of silence. “Listen, Selina. If you don’t want your freedom being restricted, fine. I do not want to do that either. Go wherever you want, I don’t care. Now, regarding those bodyguards, get rid of them yourself.”
After saying that, Adonis hung up the phone.
Selina was livid. In her bout of anger, she threw her phone on her bed and screamed at the top of her lungs.
It took her a few minutes to get herself together, but when she did, she immediately picked her phone up and called Sally.
“Waaahh!” she cried loudly. “Sally, please come help me! Please!”
Sally had just woken up and hearing Selina sobbing on the other end of the line made her incredibly worried. “Selina? Why are you crying?” she asked quickly. When Selina failed to answer due to her incessant cries, she gently said, “You have to calm down and tell me what’s wrong, Selina.”
Selina then powered through her cries and said, “Adonis is so bad. He locked me inside a room and forbid me to go anywhere. He didn’t even give me food! Sally, he’s mistreating me! Please help me! Please say that you’ll save me!”
Because of everything that had happened to her, Selina had developed the skill of crying in an incredibly convincing manner in order to make other people pity her.
It now came in handy as she had to turn to Sally for help. Otherwise, how would she be able to get rid of the bodyguards outside?
“……”
Sally was speechless at what she heard. She knew Adonis well. He only ordered people to follow Selina because he was afraid that she would run away. As fo
e here,”
Sally replied indifferently. She didn’t want further interactions with her, and so she walked past by her and towards the CEO’s office without saying another word.
Irene, however, seemed to have a different plan in mind.
“Sally!” she called out, stopping Sally in her tracks.
“Can I have a word with you alone?”
Irene looked deep into Sally’s eyes as if she was pleading.
Sally then paused and looked at Selina.
The little girl blinked her almond eyes at her and shrugged, indicating that she didn’t care if she went or not.
Sally then smiled at her and went with Irene into an empty conference room.
After closing the door, Irene handed a sheet of paper to her. She looked sad while doing so, which confused Sally. “Sally, I am so, so sorry,” she suddenly said, her voice trembling. “I really didn’t want to tell you this but I don’t think I have any other choice…”
“What is going on, Irene?”
she asked as she looked at the piece of paper Irene handed to her. After trying to comprehend what was on it for a few minutes, her eyes began to widen.
‘Early pregnancy?
Seven weeks?’ she thought, scandalized.
“Sally, Cody doesn’t know about this yet. I… I wasn’t planning on telling him this early… But if I don’t tell him, I’m afraid I’ll miss the chance…”
Tears started streaming down Irene’s face. She then tightly grabbed Sally’s arm and said, “Sally, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Please save my baby. He can’t live without a father!”
Sally’s head was blank. The whole thing wasn’t making sense to her.
“No, this is impossible,” she said, more to herself than Irene, as she shook her head. “Irene, even if you want to take Cody away from me, you didn’t have to do this. What is this?” she said, her tone alarmed.
She knew Cody better than anyone else. Ever since they were kids, she knew that he had made sure he kept girls and lately, women at an arm’s length.
How could he get Irene pregnant?
