Chasing After My Beloved Wife novel Chapter 59

Fortunately, she did not lose.

"Miss Leonard, don’t you like coffee?"

Jared raised his eyebrows slightly, and the light from the coffee shop was reflected in his glasses. It looked as though he was smiling.

"No, thanks.”

Joye shook her head and put her fingers on her belly. Since she was pregnant now, she had to do everything she could to protect her baby.

Jared saw the look on her face. There was a hint of playfulness behind his glasses, but he drank the coffee in his hand without saying a word.

He had already done her a favor. As for the rest, it was not something he should worry about.

The separation of the Richard Group and the Leonard Group had finally quietened down, and there was no change with the shares at the Leonard Group yet. Everything was within his control.

Meanwhile, Baird was so angry that he didn't pay attention to anything. On the contrary, there was a satisfied smile on Xaria’s face.

"This is great. There is no need to share the Richard family’s shares with someone from the Leonard family.”

"Dear, lower your voice."

Maisie, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, quickly warned her, but she pinched his thigh hard.

"Why should I lower my voice? Dad prefers an outsider. Now there’s a problem. I already told him not to do something like this.”

Xaria kept glancing at Baird’s bedroom door. She moved away from Maisie. She was still smiling.

"You don't have to wait for me for dinner today. I’m going to the spa with my friends.”

She flipped her hair in front of the mirror and walked out happily.

The Bentley moved smoothly on the road. Xaria crossed her legs in the backseat, her fingers tapping to the music. The Richard Group’s shares were in Shawn’s hands, so of course, she was happy.

"Madam… Mr. Shawn and Ms. Leonard should be finalizing their divorce soon, right?”

David, who was driving in the front, looked up at Xaria in the rearview mirror and continued to drive seriously.

"Of course, a woman like Joye is not worthy of Shawn."

Xaria snorted coldly when he mentioned Joye’s name Without Baird protecting Joye, Xaria would be the only woman in the Richard family.

"Then what about the child in her belly? When a woman is divorced, the only thing that she wants to keep is her child. It doesn’t seem right...”

David mumbled in a low voice, but he was sure that Xaria could hear him.

Xaria, who was tapping her fingers lightly at the back, suddenly furrowed her brows. The satisfaction in her eyes suddenly disappeared. "Stop the car."

David quickly parked the car at the side of the road and lowered his head carefully.

"Why are you lowering your head? Say what you just said again."

"Madam, I was just talking about it. After all, the child is from the Richard family's bloodline. I don’t think Mr. Shawn would not recognize his child. Also, Mr. Baird really likes Miss Leonard… Perhaps there is a way to keep the child.”

The conflicted tone of his voice made Xaria's expression worsen. The joy in her heart was immediately extinguished. Why did she not think of this possibility?

How could Joye divorce Shawn without leaving asking for a penny? She must have been afraid that something would happen to the child so she pretended to take a step back to raise the child.

Only after she gave birth would Baird feel relieved and transfer all the shares of the Richard Group to her and her child.

What a good plan!

"Madam, I'm sorry. I said something wrong."

David bowed with a horrified expression on his face and apologized, but Xaria grabbed hold of him. "You didn't do anything wrong. It was Joye who did something wrong. David, I want you to do something."

She couldn't let Joye give birth to that child, even if it was Shawn's child.

"Madam? What do you want me to do?"

Only then did David carefully raise his head. He was excited. If he succeeded again, he would soon become a really rich man.

"I want..."

Xaria's eyes darkened as she muttered under her breath, "Joye, you could keep your child at first, but for the sake of Shawn's shares, I can't let it be born. You are not the only one who can bear Shawn’s child. Even if Vivian does not meet the mark, there will be other women in the future.”

......

After all the things that have happened, Joye had lost weight. Her morning sickness was particularly bad. Even when Sherry made her favorite food, she did not have the appetite. She kept on throwing up.

"I thought that having my period was painful, so I didn’t expect this to be worse. If I could be reborn in the next life, I don’t want to be a woman again.”

Janina stroked her back and sighed with emotion.

Joye couldn’t answer as she was busy throwing up.

Joye couldn't help vomiting again after thinking about it for a while. She tried to hold it in but could not.

"A gust of wind could blow you away. I think we should rest at home today. Don't go to the company."

Janina became more gentle, and her eyes showed her pain. This was all Shawn’s fault.

When Joye had nothing left to throw up, she raised her head and said, “There are many things to take care of at work. Call a car for me. I don’t want to drive.”

"I’m not calling you a car. Do you want the company or your child?”

Janina reacted strongly. She saw Joye’s face turn pale, revealing a painful expression.

"Dear, don't scare me. Are you unwell?”

The sudden pain in her stomach made Joye instinctively bend down, but the pain didn't ease at all. She had no experience since she was pregnant for the first time, so she was in a panic. She reached out, grabbed Janina's hand, and lost her stability.

"Janina, my stomach hurts. Hurry up and get a car to take me to the hospital."

"Okay! I-I'll get the car right away. Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath!"

Janina’s fingers slid along the screen, but her hands were trembling. She tapped on the app twice before opening it.

She could not get a car. Her hands were sweaty. Wasn’t this supposed to be a good app? Why wasn’t it working?

"Janina?"

Joye covered her belly with her hands, and her face was pale. The fear in her heart became more intense. She had lost everything, so she couldn't lose this child!
