Colton had given Freyja the chance. He believed that she would not disappoint him with her stubborn
and unyielding personality.
At this time, at Tenet...
When Daisie learned that Freyja had won the opportunity to cooperate with a publisher, she was
exhilarated. “I knew it, Freyja. You‘re so talented, so you can definitely do it.”
Freyja was brewing coffee. “You‘re really a pro when it comes to flattering me. I’ll be very ashamed to
come back to you if I fail.”
Daisie supported her chin in one hand. “Failure is a stepping stone that leads to success. If you‘ve
never experienced any failure, how can you find success? Am I right?”
She smiled and turned to look at her. “You‘re right.”
Just as she was about to drink coffee, she suddenly felt nauseated. She placed the coffee down and
dashed straight to the bathroom. She then leaned forward on the toilet bowl and threw up all the
breakfast she had eaten in –the morning.
“Freyja, are you alright?” Daisie asked worriedly outside
the toilet. “Yes… I‘m fine.” Freyja flushed the toilet, stood up slowly, looked at her pale face in the
mirror, and thought about her disgusting reaction.
She was astonished subconsciously.
‘My period seems to have been delayed for a long time. Now that I‘m counting, it‘s been a month and a
half.
“There were a few days when I forgot to take my pills. Did I just hit the jackpot??
Freyja found an excuse to apply for a leave of absence because she was not feeling well and rushed to
the hospital for an examination. She sat on a bench in the corridor and waited for the result – she was
tense from head to toe.
The doctor called her name, and she got up and entered the doctor‘s office.
He placed the examination result on his desk.“ Congratulations, Ms. Pruitt, you‘re five weeks
pregnant.”
Freyja was astounded, and her gaze subconsciously landed on the sonogram.
‘I actually got pregnant.‘
Freyja left the hospital and received a call from Daisie while she was on her way back. Daisie asked
her about her condition, “Freyja, have you gone to the hospital? Are you alright?”
“Yeah, I‘ve... I went to the hospital and got the medicine. Everything‘s fine. It‘s just that my stomach is
feeling a little uncomfortable.”
Daisie sighed and reminded her, “Then go back and have a good rest. Don‘t eat too much greasy and
spicy food in the coming days.”
Freyja smiled. “Okay.”
She ended the call and tightly pinched the report in her hand.
‘What should I do now?‘
In the evening, at the Seaview Villa...
Freyja did not eat much dinner because she did not dare to eat too much out of fear of vomiting again.
Seeing that Freyja had not touched her silverware much, Colton thought of the text message that
Daisie had sent him earlier today, saying that Freyja had an upset stomach, so he fetched her a bowl of
broth. “If you‘re not feeling well, just drink some broth.”
She was dumbfounded as she stared at the bowl of broth in front of her.
She picked up the spoon, and just as she was about to take a sip of the broth, the nauseous sensation
reappeared, but she managed to endure it.
Colton noticed her strangeness, “What’s wrong?”
She lifted her head. “I... I don’t think I can eat anymore.”
He frowned. “Is it that serious?”
After saying that, he placed down his silverware. “I‘ll go get you your medicine.”
“No!” She became nervous instantly.
Colton stared at her, so she subconsciously restrained her expression and pretended to be fine. “All I
need to do is get some rest.”
She got up and went upstairs. Colton looked at her back, and loads of thoughts flashed across his
mind.
Freyja lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep as if there was a stone weighing down
on her heart.
‘Should I tell anyone about my pregnancy?‘
Colton came out of the shower, tied the belt of his nightgown, and turned off the light on the counter.
He lifted the quilt, lay down, stretched out his hand, and took her into his arms. His warm breath
brushed against the back of her ear, and the strong scent of shampoo and hormones enveloped her.
He also buried himself in her shoulders and neck and gently pecked her.
