Teresa hesitated , frustration bubbling over “ What ? When did we even sleep together ? It was just a few days ago , during l
company’s press conference How could I be pregnant already ? My period hasn’t even started yet . ”
Jonathan frowned slightly “ Let’s go to the hospital and get it checked ”
“ No way . ” Teresa snapped
“ I
She yanked her hand away from his grasp , her frustration evident . I already told you I’m not pregnant . What more do you want ? I don’t even like traditional medicine , but I came here because of you . What else do you expect ? ”
Jonathan narrowed his eyes , staring at her for a few seconds . “ We’ll talk about this when we get back to Nareigh , ”
If she’s pregnant , I won’t let anything happen to this baby . It’s my child , whom I have waited so long for he wondered
Meanwhile , back in Nareigh , Teresa wasn’t the only one feeling unsettled . Jennifer’s thoughts were equally chaotic
Yesterday was Donald’s birthday Jennifer , having promised Cheryl to help celebrate , bought a chocolate cake after work . Cheryl had mentioned it was Donald’s favorite flavor ,
Cheryl had also arranged for a bouquet of flowers , asking Jennifer to deliver them to Donald Jennifer complied without hesitation .
And so , holding the bouquet and carrying the cake , Jennifer appeared before Donald , who had been planning to head home for dinner . The moment she saw him , she changed her plans .
“ Let me treat you to dinner , Jennifer offered , recalling Cheryl’s words about how Donald had been feeling insecure because
of her
“ Sure ,” Donald agreed , his mood visibly lifted . They went to a fine dining restaurant together .
Jennifer , unfamiliar with such upscale places , felt a bit out of place . Donald , however , was attentive throughout , treating her with gentlemanly care and even pouring her a glass of red wine .
“ Thanks for being here, Jennifer . This birthday wouldn’t have been the same without you , ” Donald said , raising his glass .
They clinked glasses , and Jennifer took a small sip of wine . The aroma of the red wine seemed to linger , warming her cheeks and quickening her heartbeat .
By the time they left the restaurant , Jennifer was slightly tipsy . As they descended the steps , she stumbled lightly , and Donald quickly steadied her by the arm , his concern evident . “ Are you okay ? ” he asked
Their eyes met , and a spark seemed to pass between them , leaving her breathless . Jennifer licked her dry lips and shook her head , gently pushing his hand away .
“ Happy birthday ,” she said softly . With those words , she turned to leave in a hurry .
But before she could take another step , Donald grabbed her arm , pulling her into his embrace . In the dimly lit parking lot , he couldn’t hold back any longer and leaned down to kiss her
It was Jennifer’s first kiss . Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the face so close to hers .
Donald tasted the sweet hint of red wine on her lips and deepened the kiss . Jennifer , snapping back to her senses , pushed him away with all her strength and fled the scene in a panic .
That kiss had thrown her already restless heart into complete disarray . Even this morning , Jennifer still didn’t know how she would face Donald in the future .
Jennifer was in a complete panic when Cheryl reached out to her , sending over a photo . After seeing Benny in the picture , Jennifer quickly typed out a reply
Benny’s already at the Lynn residence ? Jonathan wouldn’t hand over the hair , so Benny has to go there himself ? Typical Jennifer wondered
At the Lynn residence , Irene and Cheryl were both at home . Benny greeted Irene as he walked in .
Irene introduced them with a smile . “ Benny , this is Cheryl , Jonathan’s cousin .
Benny’s gaze briefly landed on Cheryl , who wa
ked and said , “ Oh , you’re Donald’s sister , right ?
Jonathan mentioned you before . First time me

Cheryl’s cheeks turned red as she replied shyly , “ You’re really handsome , Benny . ”
Benny chuckled , his tone light and playful . But remembering why he was there , he quickly turned to Irene and said , ”
Jonathan asked me to grab something from his room . He said he left a file here . ”
