Charles’ POV:
I was in a very good mood when I got to the office in the morning. As soon as I was in my office, Amy
walked in and placed some documents on my desk.
“Mr. Moore, Mr. Carter wants to have dinner with you tonight at Starlight Restaurant. You played tennis
with him two days ago. He has also invited the actress who won the best new artist of the year award as
well as several other ladies who are popular on the Internet.”
“I’m busy tonight. Please decline the invitation on my behalf,” I ordered tritely as I picked up the
documents on the table and perused them.
“Okay, I’ll contact Mr. Carter right away.” Amy nodded and was about to leave.
“Wait a minute,” I called out as a thought occurred to me.
“From now on, decline all invitations that are not related to business.” I was a married man now, so I had
to maintain a certain distance from other women.
Otherwise, Caroline would be jealous. My mouth curved in a small smile as I opened a document and
started my work for the day.
At this moment, my phone blared with an incoming call. I paused what I was doing and picked up the
call. “Charles, how have you been? It’s been a while since we last saw each other, would you like to
have dinner at the Starlight Restaurant? Bring Caroline with you, okay?”
I considered it for a moment before agreeing. After ending the call, I returned my attention to the
document, but a reflection of someone’s shadow made me look up. A stunned Amy was gaping at me.
“Mr. Moore, didn’t you just say that you aren’t free tonight?”
Calmly. I closed the document and tapped the table twice as I regarded her.
“I decided to change my plans. Is there a problem with that?”
“Of course not! I’ll explain to Mr. Carter. I wish you and Mrs. Moore a happy night.” Smiling, Amy left the
office and closed the door behind her.
Once the work day was over, I asked Richard to take me to the Wilson Group. Incidentally, we arrived
just as Caroline was coming out of the company.
The moment she saw me, a wide smile bloomed on her face and she quickened her pace. When she
was in front of me, I opened my arms and enveloped her in a hug.
“You shouldn’t be walking so fast What if you trip and hurt yourself? Please be careful.”
“I’m not that fragile.” Caroline smiled shyly, blushing as she avoided my kiss.
“No. We are on the teet”
“So what? I want to kiss my wife. It’s none of other people’s business.” I held her firmly and bent over her
as I pecked her on the lips Relenting, I ended our hug and opened the door for her to get into the
The second we entered the restaurant, an excited Icey was upon us. She rushed towards Caroline and
hugged her tightly
“Caroline, long time no see. I missed you so much!” “lcey, I missed you too! Caroline hugged her back
with a big smile on her face.
As Icey swept past me in her rush to get to Caroline, a gust of strong perfume clogged my nostrils.
Their hug went on for so long that I wanted to separate the two of them. I was man enough to admit the
fact that I didn’t want someone else to be so close to my wife, be it a man or a woman. But when I saw
the happy smile on Caroline’s face, I found the strength to restrain myself.
At a leisurely pace, David strolled over to my side. Placing his arm across my shoulder, he teased me,
“Don’t be nervous. Women hug like this to show their friendship. You will get used to it.”
Lips twisting in disgust, I pushed his hand away and muttered in a low voice, “Just go and pull your wife
away from mine.”
“I dare not. Why don’t you do it by yourself?” I gaped at him speechlessly. Feeling a little helpless, I
turned around and walked into the restaurant.
“You are pregnant again so soon. Your husband is so efficient.”
Behind me, Icey and Caroline walked hand in hand. Icey deliberately kept her voice down, but I still
heard what she said. Swiveling my head, I pinned Icey with a hard stare. She widened her eyes and
pretended to be frightened, even going as far as to tighten her grip on Caroline’s hand. Caroline looked
up at me helplessly. When I saw her bright and wide eyes, my heart softened and my dissatisfaction
fizzled out.
“Mr. Moore!”
Just as we were walking to the room we booked, someone called my name. Reflexively, I turned my
head to seek out the voice. The figure of a man laughing cheerfully was the first thing I saw. As he came
closer, his bright laughter resounding in the corridor, I realized two things about the man. One, he was
accompanied by five sexy women and two, I knew him.Mr. Carter.
A sudden chill ran down my back and my stomach twisted. I had a bad feeling about this.
Quickly, I turned away from him, but Carter failed to interpret the meaning behind my averted gaze. He
and the women on his arms walked towards me. He came to a stop in front of me and graced me with a
knowing smile.
“Mr. Moore, your assistant informed me that you weren’t free today. I asked her to tell you that I had
invited several beautiful women to join us tonight and that you couldn’t miss it. Sure enough, here you
are.”
The sexy girls giggled at his words. Batting their eyelashes at me, they simpered, “Hello, Mr. Moore.”
“Mr. Moore, would you like to have a drink with me? I’ve seen the video of you playing tennis with Mr.
Carter. You’re so handsome! Can you teach us how to play?” Instinctively, my gaze went to Caroline. The
smile on her face was gone now and she glared at me coldly, “Since Mr. Moore has an appointment with
you, we won’t disturb you further.”
She averted her gaze, took Icey’s hand and marched into the private room. Staring at her angry back, all
I wanted to do was go over to her and hold her in my arms. But I remained rooted to the spot because I
had no idea how to explain myself to her.
Caroline’s POV
When we got to the private room, I eased my grip on Icey’s arm and sat down, feeling upset. When the
scene outside the private room flashed across my mind again, my lips curled in a snarl and I became a
lot more irritated
A man appeared from nowhere and took a group of women to my husband.
But Charles didn’t even deign to explain anything to me. He just stood there and listened to those women
ogling him and fluttering their eyelashes at him. I was pretty sure he was eating up the way they
simpered at him!
If I hadn’t witnessed this scene, I wouldn’t have realized that he had such a large appetite. No wonder he
was able to restrain his desire last night.
Absentmindedly, I picked up the menu and stared at it blankly.
Icey rested her chin on one hand and asked with great interest, “Is the baby in your belly a daughter this
time?”
“I guess so,” I grumbled. But when I touched my swollen belly, I breathed deeply and tried to calm
myself.
“Congratulations! You have three sons and finally, you are going to have a daughter.”
“Do you like daughters? Then you can have one with David,” I murmured teasingly as I grabbed her
hand and placed it on my belly.
“I have no idea when I can get pregnant, but we’ve been trying for a while now.” Icey touched my belly
gently and sighed with disappointment.
“Let nature take its cause. You should be more patient.” Patting her hand softly, I tried to comfort her as
best as I could.
The words were barely out of my mouth when the door was pushed open and Charles and David walked
in. I glared at Charles before returning my attention to the menu.
“Hey Charles. Why are you up here? The beautiful girls inviting you to dinner are downstairs, so why
aren’t you with them? Are you not going to be bored to tears if you have dinner with two married
women?” Icey teased Charles loudly the second he was in the room Ignoring her, Charles walked over to
me and sat next to me. Gently, he grasped my hand and stared at me with his deep eyes.
“I’m not interested in women.”
Icey was so shocked that her eyes nearly popped out of her head. After a few seconds, she whispered in
my ear, “He said he’s not interested in women. Is he impotent now? How long ago did the two of you
have sex? Is that part of him still working?”
Even though Icey was whispering the questions, Charles was right next to me, so he heard every word.
Charles’ face turned gloomy at her words.
“What I mean is that I’m not interested in any other women apart from you, Caroline”
Smirking wickedly, Icey leaned over and whispered in my ear again.
“Have you tried it recently? Can he do it or not?”
“No, we didn’t”
“Then tonight when you get home,” lcey ordered quietly.
“That’s why it’s better to marry a younger man Men of a certain age will likely be impotent is Charles
really can’t do it, just tell me. I’ll introduce some young and skilled men to you.”
Knowing what the meant, any face flamed and I ducked my head
There was dead silence in the com Even David was stunned He pulled icey’s sleeve awkwardly.
educating for her to mind her words “Young Skilled men? You wish!” Charles’ face clouded over and he
grunted in low voice that time managed to be dangerous at the same time. Realizing that she had gone
too far, Icey backtracked quickly.
“I was just kidding! Men can fool around with other women. Why can’t women play with young men?
Don’t you think it’s a double standard?” Clenching his fists, David coughed and changed the topic stiffly.
“Where are Spencer and Vivian? They should be here by now. I’ll go and check if they’re arrived!”
“That is true; they should be here already. Or did something delay them? I’ll call them right away,” I
echoed hurriedly.
“Are you looking for us? Sorry, we are late.”
Vivan’s round and very large belly was the first thing I saw as she walked in. Spencer, who was walking
with a crutch, ambled in next to her. He held on to her waist with one hand and with the other, he
clutched his crutch.
“Haven’t you ordered yet? I’m starving to death!”
At the sight of the empty table, Spencer and Vivian complained even as they helped each other to sit
down.
“I was just about to order…”
Before I could finish my words, Vivian suddenly stood up and asked, “Hey, why is this chair wet?”
Curious, I craned my neck and saw that Vivian’s chair was indeed wet, and so was the back of her dress.
“What is flowing out? Ah!” Vivian reached out and touched her buttocks. Her face suddenly turned pale
and she screamed in panic. Spencer stood up anxiously and didn’t know what to do.
“It’s the amniotic fluid! Her water just broke! I will call the ambulance now!”
Quickly, I took out my phone and dialed the number for emergency. After explaining our emergency to
them, I ended the call and turned to Vivian. As softly as I could, I murmured soothing words to stave off
her panic.
“You don’t have to be nervous. Since your due date is fast approaching, it’s perfectly normal for your
water to break.” Vivian clenched my hands and screamed in panic, “Ah! I feel something coming out!”
The private room was in chaos. But thankfully, the ambulance arrived a short while later and Vivian was
placed on a stretcher and wheeled out.
We all piled into our cars and followed them to the hospital Standing outside the delivery room, Spencer
clenched his crutch tightly, an anxious look on his face. Hours later, we heard the cry of a baby and we
were informed that Vivian had given birth. Spencer looked at the baby in the nurse’s arms. He raised his
hand and suddenly put it down. His fingertips wouldn’t stop trembling.
“Gosh, this… Is this my child?”
Lying on the bed, Vivian was still shivering. Her hair was wet and stuck to her head. Her face was full of
fatigue, but the smile at the corners of her mouth couldn’t be suppressed.
Tears welled up in Spencer’s eyes. He rushed to her and held her hand, “Vivian, thank you. I won’t lose
my temper with you anymore. I’ll listen to everything you tell me from now on,” Vivian’s eyes were also
blurred with tears, She raised her hand to wipe the tears on Spencer’s face.
“I just gave birth to a baby. Why are you panicking?” Spencer rubbed her palm against his cheek gendly,
and kissed it gratefully.
