Chapter 357
The housekeeper passed Pam a small box. “I swept this out from under the bed while I was
cleaning Mr. Lopez and Ms. Jessica’s room. It seems to be a medicine box.”
Although the housekeeper could not understand the Anndurn words on the box, she could smell the
faint scent of medicine from it
Pam swiftly took the box. To her, understanding the Anndurn words on the box was a piece of
cake. Right after she took one nce, her face lit up. “Oh, this is folic acid!”
“What kind of medicine is that, Mrs. Lopez?” the housekeeper inquired curiously
“It’s something women eat when they’re pregnant. No wonder Pam looked so shy when I spoke to
her earlier. It turns out that she’s pregnant!” Pam eximed, feeling so excited that she stammered
over her words
At the same time, she was also frustrated.
Why didn’t they tell me about her pregnancy? If the housekeeper hadn’te across this while she
was cleaning, who knows how much longer those two are going to keep me in the dark?
Right away, she grabbed her phone and called Wyatt.
Wyatt picked up the phone almost instantly. “Mom, I’m on my way to a meeting. Why did you call?”
“You brat! Are you going to keep acting?” Pam yelled, though her voice wasced with joy. “I didn’t
know Jessica was pregnant! How could you keep such major news from me?”
“What pregnant… Wyatt could not seem to wrap his head around what was going on.
It was only after Pam repeated her statement that he processed her words. A curse escaped his
mouth as he said in bewilderment, “Really? She’s pregnant?”
“You two sleep in one room every night, yet you don’t know that she’s pregnant?”
“I really had no idea. She didn’t tell me.”
“That means you’re not concerned enough about her,” Pam chided. “How did such a wonderful girl
like Jessica fall for you? You’re not only inattentive but also a yboy!”
“Mom, I’m your son!” Wyatt protested. He was feeling at a total loss about the news of Jessica’s
pregnancy. “I’m going home right now. I’m going to Faymon Group to fetch her… I’m going to be a
father!”
Pam had calmed down by then, and she advised, “I think Pam kept the news from you so she
could give you a surprise on your birthday. If you go to her now and tell her you’ve found out, her efforts
will go to waste. Stay in your office and fetch her after work. Don’t give yourself away. Do you
understand?”
Wyatt pondered for a while and thought that Pam was right. He then said, “Then Mom, I’ll be
heading to my meeting now, okay?”
“Meetings, meetings, meetings! That’s all you ever think about!”
Before Wyatt could respond, the call was cut off.
He stared at his phone, feeling helpless. Wasn’t she the one who told me not to do anything for now?
At the thought that he would soon be a father, Wyatt was pumped. How he wished that time could
go. faster so he could bring Jessica home, celebrate his birthday with her, and wait for her to tell him
the news. herself.
Wyatt then asked someone to buy tons of wedding favors to distribute to all thepany’s employees.
During the meeting, he couldn’t even hide his radiant smile, confusing the senior executives.
When the wedding favors finally reached the conference room, an executive asked tentatively, “Mr.
Lopez, are you getting married?”
Wyatt raised his brow. “No.”
“Then why are you giving away wedding favors…” another executive chimed in.
“My wife is pregnant, so I want to share the joy!” Wyatt announced exuberantly.
Everyone gasped at the same time.
What? When did Mr. Lopez get a wife? Howe we didn’t know? There used to be a young woman
who came here all the time to bring him lunch, but no one knows what she looks like or who she is
because she always wears a mask. Could it be her?
“Congrattions, Mr. Lopez!”
Wyatt nodded and cast a nce at the unmarried executives. With a serious expression, he began,
“You guys should take some time out of work to go on blind dates or something. You’re all in yourte
twenties, yet none of you are married! Don’t you feel embarrassed of yourselves? In a few months, my
baby will be born already!”
The executives were rendered speechless by his impromptu lecture.
Meanwhile, Jessica had no idea that Pam and Wyatt had already found out about her pregnancy.
When she received Rayna’s ount details, she excused herself from work and headed to the bank.
After lining up for some time, she finally transferred three hundred thousand to Rayna’s ount.
Some timeter, Rayna called her. “I’m withdrawing now. Sorry for troubling you, Jessie.”
“I told you to stop saying things like that, Jessica huffed. “I took time off from work in the afternoon. I’ll
be visiting Kristie.”
“Okay”

Jessica tightened her grip on the phone and hesitated for a while. Finally, she said, “Nana, I’m
pregnant.”
“What?” Rayna froze in shock. Certain that she did not hear it wrong, she asked, “Is this really what you
want, or are you doing this to take revenge on Wyatt?”
Jessica pursed her lips and answered softly, “I did want to get pregnant to get back at him, but now that
I’m really pregnant, I feel that the life in my womb is not something thates by easily. Besides…”
“I get it.” Rayna sounded relieved. “Jessie, Gerald is already dead. It’s time that you live your life for
yourself. We can all see that Wyatt loves you very much.”
Jessica stroked her stomach. “I know. Today is his twenty–seventh birthday.”
“So you’re nning to give him a birthday surprise!” Rayna chuckled. “Since I can’t go back there, I’ll
have to ask you to greet him on my behalf.”
“Do you think he’ll like this child?”
Rayna was amused at Jessica’s question. “You silly girl, you’re worrying too much. Wyatt is an only
child, so he’ll want a big family of his own. I’m sure he will love you and the baby. They say that babies
grow to be like the first person they see uponing into the world. Jessie, you have to wait for me to
return. I will be there when you give birth so that your baby will be good–looking”
Jessica couldn’t help but chuckle. “All right. I’ll give birth to the baby after. you return.”
Upon hanging up, she waved down a taxi by the road. As she was unsure whether Kristie was in her
condominium, she decided to phone her first.
However, the call went unanswered.
Jessica gave it a thought and proceeded to dial James‘ number.
In no time, he picked up the call. “Hey, what’s up?”
“Hi, I’m going to visit Kristie, but she’s not answering her phone. I’m just wondering if you guys are
together.”
“No. I came to the capitalst night. I talked to her an hour ago, and she mentioned she’s not filming for
a few days. I guess she’s either in the condominium or my mom’s shop.”
“Okay. I’ll go and take a look.”
An uneasy feeling rose within Jessica when she recalled how Kristie had asked Wyatt for Rayna’s
address.
She went to Kristie’s condominium first, but no one opened the door even after countless knocks. Then
she headed to Linda’s store.
Linda put down her task at hand and said to Jessica, “She stopped by in the morning to help and said
she bought a ne ticket. She imed she’ll be going abroad to bring Belle home.”
Jessica’s face turned pale. “She really said that? This is bad”
“Why? Did anything happen to Belle?” Linda hurriedly asked.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Linda. Everything is okay. I’ll be heading off first!” With that, Jessica left quickly and
called Rayna.
I didn’t expect Kristie to be so bold as to go to Frosa to look for Rayna! I have to tell Rayna right now.
In her haste, Jessica identally bumped into someone passing by. She uttered an apology and
walked away, but when the woman caught a glimpse of her face, she strode over in her high heels..
“Ms. Marsh, let’s have a talk.”
Jessica turned around impatiently. At the sight of the woman, she paused in her tracks.
