Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 83

That same night he spent with Shela, he had just been diagnosed with a low sperm count

Logically speaking, the odds of her getting knocked up were pretty slim

But slim doesn’t mean impossible. That’s what he had thrown back at Phedra when she spoke up. And he didn’t expect that it actually happened

“Well, if that’s the case, then let’s take good care of it, Elgin said. “It’s my kid, and I’ll step up.”

“You sticking around?”

*Of course, I’m sticking around.”

Shela beamed, got up, and threw her arms around his neck. That’s awesome, Mr. Ramirez, I was worried… that you wouldn’t want the baby”

Elgin paused, then patted her shoulder gently, “How could I not?”

Thad no clue I was pregnant. I was scared you’d think I kept it under wraps on purpose, just to force you to marry me.” As she said this, Shela glanced at Letitia, then looked away, shrinking back a bit.

Biting her lip, she said. “But you’re married to Letitia now, and this kid’s got no name, no status. What should we do… it’s all because I’m just a lowly nobody”

Elgin didn’t hesitate, “Her? She’s nothing”

Letitia kept her head down, quiet, acting like she wasn’t even there. She was the odd one out.

Elgin had called her over just to humiliate her and show off how well he treated Shela.

Shela coord, “Mr. Ramirez, our child is definitely going to be a cut above the rest, right? Even though I’m not exactly your wife right now, things will get better!”

“Yeah You just focus on taking care of yourself, and leave the rest to me.

Shela nestled into his embrace, Mr Ramirez, you’re the best”

“I’ll take care of everything,” Elgin said “No one’s gonna stand in the way of you and the kid”

That was his promise to Shela. Both Mark and Letitia heard it loud and clear

Letitia thought to herself that Shela sure had it good, envy-worthy

Mark was all smiles, his eyes crinkling into slits. Sure enough having a kid does the trick. A child brings honor to the mother, an age old truth that never changes.

Elgin fetched a doctor, laid down some instructions, and emphasized the need for top-notch care, “Not a single mistake”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Ramirez, Ms. Ward is in the care of our most renowned OB-GYNs.

Elgin just grunted

No matter what, Shela was pregnant, and the kid was his. He had to take on the role of a father.

Even though he didn’t have much feeling for Shela in his heart, but that one night had sealed their fate. It must be destiny.

“Mr. Ramirez, I’d like to have a word with Letitia,” Shela said, swinging his arm, “about the pregnancy. I couldn’t control it, and I hope she doesn’t mind

“She has no right to mind”

“But she’s still Mrs Ramirez

Elgin said coolly, “That spot will be yours sooner or later, I’ve told you before.”

Shela was over the moon, though she kept up her innocent facade

“Sorry, Letitia, Mr. Ramirez and I just got carried away, and that’s how the pregnancy happened. Over the next few months, I just want to focus on nurturing the baby, having a smooth delivery. Please don’t make trouble for me, okay?”

It sounded like. Letitia was some kind of villain.

“Me, make trouble for you? Letitia laughed, “I’d rather you sit tight and stop flaunting yourself in front of me!”

Sheta bit her lip. I know my pregnancy upsets you…

*Upset? Oh, I’m thrilled!” Letitia said, “Here’s hoping you have a healthy baby and marry into the Ramirez family soon!”

Shela responded, “Thank you for your well wishes.”

Letitia was speechless. How can someone be so shameless!

“By the way, when will the wedding ring be ready?” Shela asked, “I want to wear it. Looking at it while I’m pregnant will lift my spirits, and the baby will be healthier.”

“I don’t know.” She was a designer, not some personal service clerk for Shelal

Elgin spoke up, “Isn’t this your job? Aren’t you following up?”

Okay.” Letitia agreed, “I’ll have an answer for Ms. Ward by this afternoon. Anything else? If not, I’m heading to the office.”

Elgin said, “What’s the rush? I’ll go with you.” NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Oh? Mr. Ramirez, aren’t you staying with Ms. Ward?” she said with her biggest grin, “I almost forgot, Mr. Ramirez, I haven’t congratulated you yet. You’re going to be a dad!”

He shot her a cold look, “Quit your sarcasm.”

Shela chimed in. “Letitia, I don’t care however you badmouth me, just don’t hurt my baby”

“She’s not capable of that.” Elgin stood up. “Just take care of yourself. I’ll come see you when I have time.”

Shela clung to his hand, reluctant to let go, “Mr. Ramirez… you’ll come often, right?”

“Yeah.”

Letitia just felt sick to her stomach and turned her head away.

Sitting in the car, Elgin’s expression was blank, showing no joy.

He glanced at Letitia’s belly, a smirk crossing his lips, “You thought you were safe, because grandpa got tricked by you, right? Now that Shela is really carrying my child, what do you think… what do you have left to hold on to?”

Her heart skipped a beat.

“Letitia, whatever you’re doing is pointless. You won’t be able to give birth to it,” Elgin said, “You could’ve taken the easy way out, but you chose the hard road.”

“As long as I’m breathing, I’ll protect him.” Letitia said firmly.

“What’s so precious about a bastard that you’d go this far?”

Letitia replied firmly, “Because he’s my child.”

Elgin’s eyes darkened, “Daring to say such things in front of me, you’re really asking for it!”

But she just smiled. Since she’d already offended Elgin, what’s the harm in going a little further?

So, Letitia said, “At least I can be hundred percent sure that the kid in my belly is mine. But can you men ever be sure the baby is yours? Is Shela’s baby really yours? She even snickered with a sneer.

Elgin grabbed her by the throat, snapping, “Say that one more time!”

“What, you didn’t catch that? Men…”

He tightened his grip, and Letitia suddenly couldn’t make a peep.

Elgin leaned in, right up close to her, After last night, Letitia, you’re less than dirt to me. You better be careful not to piss me off, or what’s coming for you… is gonna be a world of hurt.”

He let go and said loudly, “Pull over!”

The driver hits the brakes pronto.

“Get out.” Eigin didn’t even glance her way, “I’ve been too nice to you lately, spoiled you rotten!”
