Chapter 1140

Michelle smiled. “Thank you, Grandpa. I promise I’ll bring this baby to the world safe and sound.”
“That’s great! Just call me if that brat Nathan ever bullies you. From now on, I’ve got your back on everything. I won’t let my great-grandchild suffer in any way!”
“Okay, Grandpa.”
After hanging up, Rosa beamed with joy. “Michelle, I’ll get a few more maids over to handle your pregnancy meals and checkups.”
“It’s alright, Rosa. I like things quiet. I don’t need that many people.”
“Got it. I’ll arrange for an appointment with the doctor right away. We’ll do a full prenatal exam tomorrow!”
“Alright.”
After Rosa left, Michelle walked to the window. She pulled out her phone and dialed a number. She was calling her own grandfather, Luis.
The call connected quickly, and Luis’ voice came through. “Michelle, Martin just called to share the good news. Congratulations-you’re pregnant!”
The fact that Martin had already informed Luis about this made Michelle feel deeply moved. She knew this was his way of backing her up. After all, she knew Martin’s words carried way more weight than her own.
Michelle said, “Now that I’m pregnant, I hope you won’t go back on your promise earlier, Grandpa.”
Luis chuckled and said, “Michelle, I’ll definitely keep my promises!”
“I heard Madelyn wants to join Landon Group and get her name in the family registry
“Don’t worry, Michelle. I’ve already called the company and told them to throw out all of her stuff! As long as I’m alive, I’ll never allow her and her mother to set foot in the Landon residence or join our family registry.”
The weight on Michelle’s heart eased. “Grandpa, thank you.”
“Just focus on your pregnancy, Michelle. The baby inside of you would be the Lynch family’s firstborn heir, so it’d be super precious to them Youre going to have a bright future ahead, and I’ll be riding on your coattails!”
Michelle said nothing more. “Sure. Goodbye, Grandpa.”
After hanging up, she lay down on the bed. The chaos of the outside world slowly faded away. She placed a hand on her belly-she was now nurturing a life inside of her
She’d had such an unhappy childhood, and so, she had decided to give all her love
to this child from now on.
She quietly thought, “I love you, my baby.”
Just then, her phone rang. It was Janet calling.
Right after Michelle pressed the button to answer, Janet’s voice came through. “Hey,
Michelle, are you not coming to work today?”
Michelle glanced at the time. “I am! I’ll be there in half an hour.”
“Great.”
After washing up, Michelle went downstairs. Rosa had already prepared a full, healthy breakfast. “Michelle, come have some food.”
Michelle sat down and took a sip of milk.
Rosa said, “Michelle, Nathan will be so happy when he finds out you’re pregnant! This is also his first time becoming a father!”
Michelle froze mid-sip. She had nearly forgotten about Nathan. Everyone was thrilled about the arrival of this baby, but how would Nathan react when he learned the news?
She knew better than anyone that all her efforts to please him lately had been for this child.
Nathan was sharp. Once he heard that she was pregnant, he would definitely guess she had been using him athalong, that she’d treated. him
as nothing more than a tool for conception.
Besides, she had asked him before whether he liked children. He had made it
perfectly clear that he didn’t want kids.
