Drowning Him In Regret

Chapter 93 Take Good Care Of Him

When Jude looked at me, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

I truly hadn't expected the Carson family to be like this. Ewan valued Jude not just because of familial ties, but because he could genuinely hold up the Carson family business.

But I quickly came to terms with it. A company of this size needed to be in capable hands. Otherwise, it would've collapsed long ago.

I thought of what Ewan had said, and of what I owed Jude. So I spoke, trying to comfort Jude. "Don't worry. I'll help you get through this."

"Ada!" Jude clutched my hand tightly. I awkwardly patted it and then gently pulled away.

I said, "Alright, let's go home first. I'm tired."

I really was tired. Given my current condition, making it through the day was already pushing my limit.

Jude followed closely behind me, just like he used to back in school.

But I felt nothing. What I couldn't stop thinking about was the child in Vivian's belly.

I had no appetite. Jude ordered oatmeal again. I only took a few bites before putting the spoon down.

He looked at me with concern. "You have low blood sugar, and you're still not eating? You'll just pass out again."

Amazing that he could still remember I had a condition. I gave him a small smile and said nothing.

He handed me a box of cut fruit. "At least eat some fruit, okay? You need to take care of yourself. We'll both work on our health, and someday... We'll have our own child."

He looked at me with burning hope in his eyes. I was speechless.

I wanted to tell him. I would never give him a child.

Not because I couldn't. Even if I could, I wouldn't. But in the end, I swallowed the words.

"What are you planning to do about Vivian's baby?" I suddenly brought it up, catching him off guard.

Finally, he looked at me seriously. "I'll get a DNA test as soon as possible. Technology is advanced enough now. We don't need to wait for the baby to be born."

I asked, "And if it's not yours?"

He answered, “Then I definitely won't claim it. I'll even hold her accountable." "And if it is?" I asked the question plainly, with no emotion.

Honestly, I was pretty sure the baby was his. Vivian wanted to become Mrs. Carson so badly. How could she not use the baby as leverage?

Besides, she'd been with him long enough. I doubted they'd been that careful every time.

Jude ran a hand through his hair in frustration. "Ada, believe me. I've only been with her twice, and I was drunk both times, I..

He didn't know how to explain and said, "I believe you."

But I wouldn't trust him.

Jude wasn't the type to deny himself pleasure. Over the past few years, the women coming and going around him could form an entire beauty pageant. He'd never once restrained himself.

And the way Vivian acted so high and mighty around me. It couldn't be without his indulgence.

I asked again, "If the child is yours... what are you going to do?"

Jude slammed the table in frustration and lowered his head. "Ada, if it's mine, I'll take the responsibility."

I knew his claim was not referring to me.

Ewan had said I couldn't mention divorce until the child was three. So what about after that?

Once the child turned three, Jude would want more children, and that would be my cue to step aside.

I nodded expressionlessly. It was his child. Of course he should take care of it.

Jude looked up, his voice slightly choked. "Yo

Successfully unlocked!its. All I had was my grandmother. Even the

child is Vivian's, I can't bear for him to grow up withoirt a family. Ada, canyou understand that?"

"Jude, I can." I really could.

Back in school, it was just him and his grandmother. Even though I was his wealthy girlfriend, he never once touched my

money.

Later, just when his career was starting to improve, his grandmother fell ill, and I wanted to break up.

So when he said this now, I completely understood. If he could turn his back on his own child, that would be the scary part.noveldrama

The next day, Jude and I arrived at work together, and the eyes of many coworkers immediately turned toward us.

Ellen sidled up to me, looking all mysterious. "Ada, Vivian got reassigned to logistics!"

I nodded. Jude had told me yesterday, so I wasn't surprised.

Ellen looked excited. "Yesterday she said she was pregnant, but now some coworkers are saying she's just faking it!"

She added, "If she were really pregnant, why would Mr. Carson still let her come

to work? I think he's fed up with her."

I just smiled and said nothing. I didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Without Vivian causing drama, my work had become a lot smoother.

But I didn't expect Aiden to stick his nose into the marketing department. He even wanted to take charge of the design team's work.

Especially on the Elitara Group project, he brazenly declared that he would take full control.

"I know Mrs. Carson has been handling this all along," he said with a false smile. “But Grandpa asked me to oversee the key projects. I'm just following orders, right?"

Aiden was using Ewan to pressure me.

A few of the design team colleagues stood up, visibly upset. I held up my hand, signaling them to sit down.

Then I turned to Aiden. "You understand design? Great. Then you draw. I'll assist you."

I added, "You know about how a lot of past designs went missing, right? So why don't you come help us do the work now?"
