That tall figure happened to turn around. It was Darrell, who had changed his clothes-
Darrell clearly saw Nadia change from being absent–minded to being disappointed.
He looked at her and asked, “You mistook me

Nadia was embarrassed and smiled, “I thought I saw an acquaintance just now. Maybe good–looking people ar
Darrell and Matthew had similar hairstyles and heights, just now, she had indeed almost mistaken Darrell for Matthew. She did not know if it was because their figures were so alike or because she had been distracted, but at that moment, she really thought that she had seen Matthew.
Darrell also smiled. His eyes paused on the test repon in her hand and fell on her face. “Are you not going back?”
He didn’t ask any more questions
Nadia did not discuss this with him. “Yes,”
“Let’s go together, Darrell said and turned around,
Nadia glanced at his back and unconsciously stroked her flat belly with complicated feelings. She had thought that she had made a clean break with Matthew, but now they were bound tighter together because of the child, which was one of the reasons why she was hesitant.
She really wanted to cut all ties with him. If so, as time went by, she would naturally forget him.
If she gave birth to this child, there might be more connections between them in the future.
Nadia didn’t want to set the stage for trouble.
But that meant that she had to give up the child.
Thinking of this, Nadia felt her heart aching,
When Kathleen called her in the evening, she could clearly feel that Nadia had something on her mind.
“What happened?” Kathleen was a little worried. “You were fine when we set off. Why are you so gloomy now? Did you have a hard time at school?”
Nadia shook her head. She had just taken a shower and was about to go to bed when Kathleen, who had just woken up, called her.
There was time difference between the two places. It was nearly midnight where Nadia was and 7 am, where Kathleen was.
“Of course not. I’ve just come anyway.” Nadia sat on the bed with a big pillow on her knees and the phone in one hand. She rested her chin on the pillow, looking listless.
“Why did you get up so early today? Nadia asked. “You go to work at 10 o’clock, don’t you?”
Kathleen went to work at the off–peak hour. She lived close to the company, so she usually got up after nine o’clock

Kathleen muttered with toothpaste foam all over her mouth. Nadia was amused. “Don’t use me as an excuse. If it weren’t for the company’s affairs, no one would believe that you would get up early,”
“How can working be as important as calling your Kathleen denied it. She was not so easy to fool. “What happened? You look dispirited” “I’m pregnant” Nadia didn’t intend to hide it from her. “Tim thinkin

Kathleen almost choked on the mouthwash. She quickly rinsed her mouth and said to Nadia angrily. “What do you mean? Give b Matthew doesn’t want to take responsibility, I’ll raise the child with you”

Nadia gave a short smile, looked at Kaldeen on the screen, and said, “He will definitely take responsibility, but I don’t want him to do so.”
“It’s okay. I’ll take care of the child with you.” Kathleen came up with a solution in a few seconds. “My company has real estate projects in Meadoland. I’ll apply for a transfer to take care of you and my goddaughter.”
Nadia glanced at her and asked, “Really?”

“Of course.” After saying that, Kathleen felt a little guilty. “As long as I can get Gloraxy Group’s project today, it won’t be a problem for me to apply
for a transfer.”
The smile froze on Nadia’s face.
Kathleen noticed the subtle change in her expression and asked cautiously, “You don’t mind, do you?”
Gloraxy Group was owned by Matthew.
Nadia smiled and said, “No. I broke up peacefully with Matthew. We didn’t fall out.
“Besides, if you get his company’s project, you can go wherever you want, and many big companies will fight for you.” Nadia added, “I wish you
Thank you.” Kathleen smiled. “But Matthew is not that easy to deal with.”
Nadia said, “Don’t worry. You won’t see him anyway.”
Kathleen was rendered speechless.
Nadia said, “This is a commercial investment project. As far as I know, Lucille is in charge of it.”
“Huh?” Kathleen was surprised. “Lucille is also in Cloraxy Group? Did they hook up with each other a long time ago? I was wondering why you had suddenly got a divorce. It turns out that…”
“Stop.” Nadia quickly stopped her. “I didn’t know she was in Cloraxy Group until the day I decided to divorce Matthew. I divorced just for personal reasons. It has nothing to do with anyone else,”

However, Kathleen didn’t agree. “If there had been nothing between them, how
