Chapter 202 na Is Pregnant
As Chandler spoke, Roman kept his gaze focused on Erin’s eyes, trying his best to decipher what she
wanted. At that moment, Erin’sce had turned pale, but her eyes could barely contain her excitement,
and she burst into tears in just a few seconds.
Her reaction immediately made Roman say, “I’ve just arrived home, so you and Asa cane over.”
Roman and Chandler had always been neighbors. They assumed that Chandler and Asa were still in
Shornd and didn’t expect the father and son would return to the country so soon. Right now, they
didn’t know if they were back for good or for a short visit only.
“Okay, see you soon.” Chandler hung up..
It was eerily silent in the car. After some time, Erin regained her senses and asked, “Why did you
agree?”
Roman said seriously. “Remember, you are now my good friend, Pam Eastwood. You’re not Erin.
Since you’re not Erin, you can meet Chandler and Asa openly and honestly because they’re not rted
to you in any way! Haven’t you always wanted to meet Asa? He’ll be here soon.”
Erin, who had always maintained a calm demeanor, suddenly couldn’t keep her calm. Her son had
always been her soft spot.
Finally, she adjusted her emotions and said, “Okay, I’m ready to see them.”
Ten minutester, Erin and Roman were waiting in the living room. They were both dressed neatly and
sat on the sofa without wearing any face masks or hats. They’d taken the time to tidy up their hair,
showing how important this meeting was to them.
During the time they were waiting for Chandler and Asa, each minute held a highly contradictory choice
for Erin.
After waiting for seven long years, she was about to meet both father and son. Her heart was beating
so rapidly she felt as if it could burst out of her chest; even her palms started getting sweaty. Adjectives
like fear, worry, and excitement all fell short of describing her current state of mind.
Erin had imagined countless scenes of when she finally met them, and now it was about to happen.
She felt like she was in a dream.
“Remember, you’re Pam now.” Roman ced one hand on her tightly sped hands, trying to calm
her down.
Erin nodded but didn’t say anything.
Ding dong!
The doorbell rang, startling Erin. She stood up abruptly, her heart in a frenzy. She thought she was
ready, but at this critical moment, she was extremely emotional and terrified. Her face went paler by a
few shades.
Erin suddenly eximed, “Roman, I think I’d rather not see them today! I–I’m not mentally prepared to
see them yet.”
Roman also stood up. After staring at her for a while, he had an understanding look on his face. He
sighed. “It really is too sudden this time. I’m sorry for not giving you enough time to mentally prepare
yourself. Go back to the guest room upstairs for now. After all, you’ll see Chandler in three days‘ time,
so let’s not rush this.”
“Okay, then I’ll head upstairs first,” Erin said hurriedly, running upstairs with extremelyplex
emotions.
As soon as she reached the upper floor, she flew into the guest room she was staying in and locked the
door for good measure.
Her heart was pounding violently, and her brain felt a bit dizzy from theck of oxygen. The man she
once loved the most, together with her biological son, was about to appear before her. This was the
scene she had anticipated the most during her time in the Garden of Eden, but now that it was about to
happen, she found herself cowering instead.
Perhaps she shouldn’t meet them both at the same time. She was genuinely afraid that she couldn’t
bear it. If she couldn’t control herself and burst into tears during their first meeting, would it scare her
son, Asa?
Erin wanted more than anything to leave a good impression on her son. As Asa’s biological mother,
she’d beenpletely absent during his six years of growth. Erin really wasn’t sure if she could reim
her role as a mother by Asa’s side. She’d only given birth to him but hadn’t taken care of him or spent
time with him at all.
Leaning against the door, Erin had tears running down her face uncontrobly. She covered her mouth
with one hand, suppressing the
“I’m back, Asa. Mom is back,” Erin wept silently.
After about ten minutes. Erin heard footsteps approaching, and she held her breath.
Three knocks sounded, followed by Roman’s voice. “Erin, it’s me.”
Erin quickly wiped the tears from her face and turned the doorknob.
As soon as the door opened, Roman said, “Don’t worry, the person who knocked just now wasn’t
Chandler. It was a delivery man. The art supplies I specifically ordered for you online this morning are
here.”
“Thank you.” Erin said, feeling touched.
Roman looked at her teary eyes and felt a myriad of emotions too. Hepletely understood her
feelings.
He stood at the door for a while with hesitance in his eyes, but he finally said, “Chandler called just
now. He said he and Asa won’te
over because na had an ident.”
Upon hearing that Chandler and Asa wouldn’te, Erin’s fell a little rxed, but soon a profound
sense of disappointment settled in.
She adjusted her emotions and asked calmly, “What happened to na?”
Roman shook his head. “I don’t know the details yet. ording to Chandler, she slipped and fell in the
vi. One of the maids failed to
clean up a water stain on the floor, and na identally slipped due to the floor being slippery.”
Erin was puzzled. Given na’s young age, a simple fall shouldn’t be a big deal. It wasn’t like she was
an elderlydy in her seventies or
eighties who might fracture a bone from a fall.
Roman saw her look of iprehension and said hesitatingly, “Chandler said on the phone… He said
na is two months pregnant, so
he has sent her to the hospital.”
This was news to Roman as well. He’d paced back and forth downstairs for a full five minutes, unsure
whether he should tell Erin about
this. Then, he thought that pregnancy was something that could only be concealed for a while. When

He had faith that Erin could handle this news. She’d already ovee the great misfortune of being

be able to handle such news calmly.
As expected, Erin’s expression didn’t change much upon hearing this.
She asked quietly. “Are you going to the hospital to see her now?”
Roman felt conflicted as he replied, “Yes, na is also my good friend … Erin, I-
Erin immediately interrupted, “You should go and check on her. na may have helped Chandler
deceive me in the past, but I know she’s
not a bad person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have be a good friend to you and Chandler.”
“Thank you for understanding.” Roman responded gratefully.
Erin smiled lightly. “Don’t mention it. You go ahead. I won’t be joining you.”
With that, she turned and walked toward the balcony.
Roman called after her. ‘I’ll be leaving, then. I won’t take long. If you get hungry-”
She turned to look at him, “Alright, you don’t need to worry about me. I’m not a child. I know how to
take care of myself, and I’ll treat your home as my own.”
Her words relieved him, and a hint of a smile appeared on Roman’s lips. “Okay, then I can rest
assured.”
Five minutester, Roman drove his new ck Range Rover out of the garage and saw Erin standing
not far away. She quickly walked toward him and upon reaching the front of his car, she opened the
door to the passenger seat and got in.
“Are you sure?” Roman asked.
The current Erin waspletely different from the person who had silently cried in the guest room
earlier. She smiled and said, “I’m sure. She’s just my ex–boyfriend’s current wife, not Hades or the grim
reaper. I was close to death twice, so there’s nothing that can scare me
anymore.”
Her words, apanied by hermanding and calm demeanor, made Roman’s heart race
inexplicably. He eximed with admiration.” Now that’s the Erin I know!”
