Chapter 749 He Was Fooled


    As Laney and Garrett hugged each other, J watched from a distance. With a smile, she quietly


    left the room and left them there.


    Struggling to keep her strong facade, Laney looked down to hide her quivering eyshes.


    She was once a renowned tough bodyguard. How could she cry like a little girl?


    But she couldn''t help but shed tears at the sight of Garrett.


    Still, she tried to be strong and wiped her tears. "Why are you here? I thought you were working.


    You should get back to work now or your parents might scold you. The baby..."


    Just as Laney was about to reassure him that the baby was fine, Garrett interrupted her.


    "I don''t care about the baby nor my work. Nothing is more important than you. Laney, just let me be


    here with you." He looked at her tenderly.


    Then he held Laney''s shoulders and put a soft pillow behind her back.


    For some reason, something felt weird with his words and expression.


    She watched Garrett pick up a red apple from the table next to him. "Let me peel an apple for you."


    Laney didn''t refuse.


    "I didn''t marry you because of the child. And I won''t leave you because of it either," he continued to


    comfort Laney while peeling the apple.


    He never even mentioned the word "divorce" even in their casual talks.


    It was probably because the public had been specting that Garrett and Laney would get divorced


    sooner orter.


    "With or without the child, I''ve always loved you. God must have sent it to us as a gift. Don''t you


    think so? But if He had to take it back so soon, it''s okay. We will have another baby..." Although


    Garrett''s voice quavered a little, it softenedter on.


    It was then that Laney figured out what was wrong with him.


    So she immediately cut him off by saying, "Stop it, Garrett Harding! What on earth are you talking


    about? Our baby is fine."


    "What?" Garrett, who was already on the verge of tears, straightened his back upon hearing what


    she said. "But... I received this message from J. Look..."


    On the screen of his phone, Laney read the message J sent him. Thetter told him to be


    mentally prepared because the baby might not make it.

    After reading it, Laney raised her head and burst intoughter. "You are so silly! You got fooled by


    J!"


    It was beyond her imagination that a smart man like Garrett would believe such a clumsy lie.


    Slowly, Garrett figured out what was happening. He put down the fruit knife he was holding after


    coming back to his senses.


    It was so embarrassing.


    "You looked like you were about to cry. Let me have a look! Oh my God, there really are tears in


    your eyes!" Laneyughed out loud.


    Embarrassed, Garrett looked the other way to avoid Laney''s eyes. "I was just so worried about you,


    so I didn''t have much time to think it through. It''s not funny. Don''tugh at me, Laney. The baby will


    hear you!"


    Finally, afterughing her heart out, Laney stopped and tugged at the sleeve of his shirt. "Why are


    you shy? Turn around. I have seen you cry before."


    The truth was, she was even moved.


    Laney looked out of the small window on the door. There was no one outside, so she figured that


    J had already left.


    A smile appeared on Laney''s face. She thanked J in her heart for what she did.


    Meanwhile, J couldn''t contain her happiness knowing that Laney and Garrett would definitely


    talk and solve their problem after this incident. She even hummed a tune on the way home.


    The bodyguard was surprised to see her in a good mood after leaving the hospital. So, she asked


    out of curiosity, "We didn''t catch the woman. Why are you still so happy, Mrs. Larson?"
