He dialed a number. Soon, a familiar male voice sounded from the other end of the line. It sounded exhausted.
“What’s the matter, you workaholic?”
“Can’t I contact you even if nothing is going on? Guess who I saw at the hospital today.”
“My wife.”
Henry chuckled. “That’s right. But I’m curious. Why would the woman of your life have a broken hand? Who did it?”
The other end of the line was silent for a long while. “I did it.”
Henry stopped smiling. “Are you crazy?”
“It was an accident.”
“Makes sense. You can’t possibly hurt her on purpose. Still, aren’t we friends enough? You didn’t even tell us about the good news.”
Hunter widened his eyes. “What good news?”
“Are you still pretending that you don’t know? She’s pregnant again, right?”
There was a thud on the other end of the line as if something heavy had hit the ground.
Then, Hunter’s voice sounded in disbelief. “What did you just say? Pregnant?”
“She’s taking folic acid. If she’s not pregnant, why would she take something like that?”
Hunter gritted his teeth. “Are you sure you’re not seeing things?”
“Come on, I know I grew up overseas, but I can still read Arlandian. I know how to read folic acid.” The call ended at that moment.
Henry frowned. He wondered what had happened with Hunter, for Hunter didn’t make sense these days.
Everly dashed toward Madison, stuffing the folic acid into the latter’s hands. “Don’t forget to add this to your vitamins.”
“Thanks.”
“No need for thanks. You have to give birth to a healthy baby, alright?” Everly patted Madison on the shoulder.
Madison nodded. As if thinking of something, she asked, “No one saw you, right?”
“Don’t worry, I’m very fast. This packaging is so fancy that dumb man won’t understand what it is at all.”
Madison didn’t have much of an impression about Henry. So, she concluded that he wasn’t involved with Hunter.
It was only then that she sighed in relief.
“Good. Rest well, and don’t work too hard.”
“Okay. You should take good care of yourself, too. I’ll visit you when I have days off. Just call me if something comes up.
“Don’t be shy to trouble me; I’m even worried that you’re not giving me enough trouble.”
Madison replied, “Okay.”
The two exchanged glances. Madison tossed the packaging into the trash can. Then, she put the folic acid into a vitamin bottle before she left.
She felt much better at the thought of her child.
Even the blue sky and white clouds outside looked much nicer.
She even bought some of her favorite cakes and coffee on the streets before going back.
After having a child, she only wanted to share wonderful things with them.
In her heart, she talked to the child.
“Baby, this is my favorite coffee. Do you like it? Also, I’ve been a fan of this mousse cake for a decade. “When you’re born, I’ll buy some for you too. Are you a boy or a girl? Will you have a sweet tooth?” She would retch a little before this. But after eating the desserts, her condition was relieved.
The child seemed to share the same tastes as her. She didn’t feel nauseous at all.
As she thought more about it, she started visualizing a baby with a sweet smile.
Madison started to see meaning in life.
A cold voice sounded. “What are you smiling about? You look quite happy.”
Madison shivered. She was so absorbed in her fantasies that she didn’t notice Hunter nearing her. Unable to stop smiling in time, she looked at him a little guiltily.
She didn’t know why she would feel guilty, either. Hunter was the one who owed her anyway.
“What does that have to do with you? Do you have a problem with me smiling?” she retorted as usual. She wondered if she was seeing things, but she felt as if Hunter’s gaze was questioning her somehow. “Where did you go today?”
Madison was even more furious now. “You sent bodyguards, didn’t you? Just ask them about it instead of asking me.
“Why should I tell you, anyway? Do I not have the right to leave the house anymore?
“You shouldn’t have broken my hand. You should break my legs instead so that I will never leave the house!”
If she said the same things in the past, Hunter would try to coax and soothe her.
But now, the man’s quiet voice rang out. “I quite want to do that.”
Stunned, Madison looked up at Hunter. She only saw the cold and obsessed look in his eyes.
It felt like a beast that had locked onto its prey. Madison felt her hair standing on end. Uneasiness began to spread in her heart.
Madison instinctively put her hand on her tummy. But then, she feared that Hunter would notice it, so she hastily retracted her hand.
But her movements only attracted even more attention. Hunter saw all that.
As he slowly walked toward her, Madison’s heartbeat quickened.
When Hunter’s hand touched her back, she felt as if everything just exploded.
She had goosebumps all over her. Fear spread from the spot he touched to her entire body.
She suppressed her panic, trying her best to look calm.
“What are you doing?”
“You seem to be scared of me, Madie.”
Madison gulped. Then, she said in a cold voice, “It’s disgust, not fear. Hunter, has anyone ever told you that you’re annoying?
“Since you’re going to marry Andrea soon, stop messing around with me!”
Hunter slowly bent over, his authoritative air looming over Madison.
He whispered in Madison’s ear, “Madie, you’re very nervous.
It wasn’t a question; it was a statement.
A bead of sweat rolled down Madison’s forehead. Even she wasn’t sure why she would be so scared.
Perhaps because the previous child had shocked her too much, she subconsciously felt that Hunter had ill intentions.
The best way for her to protect this child was to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The less people knew about it, the safer the child would be.
Reaching out, Madison shoved him away. “Hunter, I don’t have time to fool around with you. It’s getting late, so I want to rest now.”
With that, she pulled away the blanket, turning her back to Hunter as usual.
She placed her hand on her chest, feeling her obvious heartbeat.
She was truly scared, so much so that she didn’t even realize she was trembling.
Fortunately, Hunter didn’t say much more. As always, he pulled the blanket over her body. He even âpatted her gently on the back.
“Then I won’t disturb your rest anymore.
With that, he stood up. His gaze fell upon the vitamin bottle, which stood out on the bedside table.
He looked away after a splitting second.
Hearing the soft click of the door closing, Madison finally let out a sigh of relief.
She wiped the sweat on her forehead. She was even more convinced now that she wasn’t suited to be the bad guy.
Hunter didn’t do anything at all, but she almost exposed herself.
Unbeknownst to Madison, Hunter frowned deeply as soon as he closed the door.
The light in his eyes instantly went out, and he became extremely cold.
Henry wasn’t lying. It was very likely that something was off about Madison.
The person at the end of the corridor saw him, but they didn’t stop walking. Instead, they walked even faster.
“Stop right there.”
Mona Synder was caught in the act. With a pale face, she stood where she was and greeted, “Mr. Williams.”
“Raise your head.”
Mona had no choice but to do as she was told.
Hunter’s voice was cold. “I remember that you’re in charge of the flowerbed.”
There were quite a lot of workers in the Manor of Roses.
Hunter had personally selected every single worker’s documents. So, he vaguely remembered each of them.
Mona was dumbfounded. She didn’t expect Hunter to remember a minor character like her.
“Yes. Ms. Evans can’t move her hand well. So, she asked me to take care of her after she noticed how attentive I am.”
A cold gleam flashed across Hunter’s eyes. “Come with me.”
Mona was scared to death. She didn’t know what Hunter was planning, so she had no choice but to follow him.
Hunter would come over every day, but she was still scared of this man who never looked them in the eye.
She followed Hunter into the study. Hunter took a seat while she remained standing.
Mona recalled the only time she got caught skipping school.
She now had the same expression as when she was brought to the office back then.
She didn’t dare make a sound, and she didn’t even dare to look up.
She was a working adult now, but she had never spoken to Hunter in person. While she was still thinking, Hunter said, “Talk.”
Hunter had only uttered one word, but Mona’s knees went weak.
Dropping to the floor, Mona said, “Mr. Williams, I’ll tell! I’ll tell you everything!”
Hunter frowned, thinking that Mona gave in a little too soon. He hadn’t even pressured her.
“Go ahead.”
“I felt that it was a pity to throw away the roses we trimmed from the garden, so I sold them at night for a dollar each.
