She looked at Laney up and down in disbelief, with jealousy and disdain burning in her eyes. Initially,
she was only shocked that Garrett was married. She didn’t expect that in addition to being married, his
wife would be pregnant. It also seemed like the baby was going to be delivered in a matter of days.
Kailee found the fact unptable. What kind of person was Garrett? He was a wild and notorious
yboy. How could he ever stay with one woman?
Laney, however, didn’t notice anything different with Kailee. She simply nodded politely and said,
“Hello, Miss Gibson.”
With a forced smile, Kailee responded, “Hello.” Garrett’s attention waspletely taken off Kailee.
Instead, he carefully held Laney’s arm and asked gently, “How are you feeling? Do you feel any
difort today? Is the baby being naughty?”
Garrett’s affection was so sweet that the restlessness Laney had been feeling disappeared in an
instant. She rubbed her belly gently and smiled. “It hasn’t even been born yet. How can it be naughty?”
“That’s good,” Garrett cracked a goofy smile – very much unlike his wild and unruly former self. “Have
you decided which hospital you want to go to?”
Laney nodded. “This one’s okay. I just had a look around it with J. It’s not bad at all.” Upon hearing
this, Garrett felt a bit helpless. He hadn’t expected Laney to finally settle on the hospital that his father
had picked, but he decided not to debate it with her since her mind was already made up.
He resolved to keep a close eye on things and not allow the Harding family to bother Laney. Witnessing
the romantic bond between Garrett and Laney made Kailee feel even more ufortable.
In the past, Garrett was a big shot in school. A simple smile from him was enough to charm hundreds
of girls. It had taken Kailee a lot of effort to be his girlfriend.
At that time, they were the dream couple of the school. So many girls were jealous of her. If she didn’t
have to travel abroad for further studies, she wouldn’t have broken up with him. The thing that puzzled
Kailee the most was how gentle Garrett was with Laney. She’d never seen him like this.
This kind of tenderness unexpectedly belonged to an ordinary woman now.
Kailee almost became engulfed with jealousy. “Kailee? Kailee?” Noticing the absent-minded look on
Kailee’s face, Garrett waved his hand in front of her and asked, “What’s on your mind?’
Kailee snapped back to her senses. Upon noticing the confused look on Garrett’s face, she quickly
made up an excuse. “Oh, I was just thinking about work. What’s up?”
Garrett didn’t think too much of it. He smiled at Laney and said, “The Gibson family owns this hospital,
right? My wife will go to your hospital soon. Promise me to take good care of her. Alright?”
The level of care that Garrett was showing Laney made Kailee even more jealous. In order to maintain
herposure, however, Kailee took a deep breath to try and calm down. “Of course. I’ll ask the staff
to take very good care of her. You have nothing to worry about.”
“Thank you. I really appreciate it,” Garrett thanked her sincerely.
But the distance between them deeply hurt Kailee. The contrast between Garrett’s attitude towards his
wife and his attitude towards her was so striking that she couldn’t stay another second. She made up
an excuse and got ready to leave.
Garrett, however, didn’t think much of it. After saying goodbye to Kailee, his attention went right back to
Laney.
Upon seeing the couple’s affectionate interaction with each other, J felt relieved “Well, if there’s
nothing else, I’ll get going. Brandon’s waiting for me at home.” Garrett was grateful to J for
apanying Laney to the hospital. “Thank you for taking care of my wife today, J. I’ll make sure
to treat you to dinner one of these days.”
