Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love novel Chapter 136

After Georgia phoned, there still wasn’t anyone picking up the phone, this made her worried.

She then phoned Vanessa a few times, but still no response.

Just then seeing a person that looked just like Vanessa, made Georgia immediately called a cab to Vanessa’s apartment to find out herself.

The apartment was quite some distance from the airport. When she finally reached Vanessa’s place, it’s already had passed an hour and a half. She impatiently knocked on the door of the apartment unit, yet no one opened the door.

Before that, Vanessa said that she and Annie would be staying at the apartment. How could there be no one?

It was already past 12 o’clock midnight, Georgia kept knocking on the door. She was feeling very impatient and worried that something might have happened to Vanessa and Annie.

Inside the apartment’s bedroom, Annie who was asleep was finally awoken by the sound of the door knocking.

She climbed down her bed and opened her bedroom door. She then slowly approached the apartment’s door.

And inside the bedroom where Alfred and Vanessa was, she was getting tortured by Alfred. When she heard knocking, she wanted to push Alfred away. But Alfred mocked her coldly.

“It’s in the middle of the night and someone is looking for you. Vanessa, could it be that you’re having an affair with someone else?”

Alfred’s voice was filled with mockery, his face was grim and terrifying.

“Mummy! Where are you?”

Annie’s voice was heard which made Vanessa even more worried. She repeatedly tried to shove Alfred away.

“Annie’s awake, I want to go and check on Annie. Please let me go.”

But Alfred wasn’t letting her go, he instead humiliated her.

“If you continue like this, I will open the door and let Annie look at how lowly you are!”

Vanessa’s face became pale, she immediately started to cry and beg.

“Annie is only 5 years old. She’s all alone and must be afraid. If the person that is knocking is a mugger, and something happens to Annie, what do we do? Let go of me now!”

Alfred felt bummed out that he helplessly released Vanessa.

“Go out and get it done. Or else, I will go out with you. Do you want Annie to know that who you are sleeping with?”

Vanessa quickly wore her clothes; she opened the door and immediately closed the door behind her.

Annie saw it was Vanessa, her anxious face was instantly calmed.

“Mummy, I thought you’re gone. Someone is out there knocking…”

Annie held Vanessa’s hand as Vanessa quickly bent down and place her inside her arms.

“Don’t worry Annie, I’m always here. I will go and check through the peephole.”

After she said this, she brought Annie to the door.

Before she could look through the peephole, Georgia’s voice was heard from the other side.

“Vanessa, Annie, are you guys home?”

Georgia was already screaming. Annie instantly replied excitedly.

“Mummy! We are here!”

Vanessa’s body trembled. The feeling of fear ran through her entire body. Annie had already opened the door joyfully.

Georgia immediately stepped in, she turned to Vanessa and smiled. And then she crouched down and hugged Annie into her arms.

“My baby, how was everything for the past few days? Was it fun?”

“Mummy, I am waiting for you to come back. You’ve been away for the last few days and I’ve missed you so much.”

The mother and daughter’s dialogue were heart-warming. But Vanessa was trembling, as she wasn’t expecting Georgia to visit at this hour of the day.

Usually, Vanessa would be happy to see her. But Alfred was inside her bedroom, Vanessa was afraid that Georgia would find out that Alfred was here

Georgia’s short-tempered, she was worried that Alfred’s insanity would hurt Georgia because Georgia’s pregnant after all. Vanessa asked Georgia in a panic.

“Was the flight long? Are you hungry? I’ll make you dinner, so you can take a shower and then go to bed and rest.”

Vanessa wanted to muddle through, she wanted Georgia and Annie to hit the sack so that Georgia could not discover Alfred’s presence.

Georgia didn’t notice that something was wrong with Vanessa. She smiled gratefully at her.

“I’m really hungry, just make me a egg fried rice. I’m going to take a shower now.”

After saying that, Georgia coaxed at Annie.

“It’s very late. Was Mummy disturbing your sleep? Annie, why don’t you go to bed first?”

Annie hurriedly shook her head.

“No, mummy has taken so long to get back. I want to stay with Mummy, and we will sleep together.”

Georgia nodded as she gave another kiss on the cheek of Annie before carrying her luggage and placing it inside.

“Then I’ll go and take a bath first. Annie, you stay with mummy Vanessa.”

After saying this, Georgia was heading towards the bathroom inside the bedroom. She intended to take a bath before having a meal.

After a few hours of flying, she was literally dying from hunger.

Because the food on the plane was not good. After all, she had been literally starving for the past few hours.

But, when Georgia had just walked inside the corridor when she noticed that the bedroom door next to her had been opened, and Georgia was shocked.

And when the person inside the bedroom walked out, Georgia’s expression sank even more.

“How come you are here?”

Alfred laughed coldly.

“This is Vanessa’s apartment. I live inside Vanessa’s flat. I’m her husband, what’s wrong with that?”

Georgia was filled with resentment towards Alfred. She always remembered what this man had done in the past, taking away her daughter.

Had Vanessa been tortured by this man all this time?

Georgia subconsciously looked in Vanessa’s direction. Vanessa’s face was pale, and her body was trembling.

Annie even ran to Georgia’s side.

“You’re the bad guy! Why are you here?”

Annie asked angrily, pointing her finger at Alfred.

Alfred expression instantly sank deep, his eyes filled with a fierce aura. And he looked extremely serious.

“Say that again, who the hell is the bad guy here?”

Alfred asked coldly.

Annie had never seen such a fierce man before. And she tugged Georgia’s hand.

“Mummy, why is this bad guy here?”

Georgia remembered that Annie had been taken away by Alfred last time, her explanation to Annie was that Alfred was a bad guy.

Georgia rushed to stand in front of Annie, she was afraid that Alfred would go insane and hurt the child.

“Alfred, you’re so shameless. Why are you being mean to a little child?”

Georgia shouted out this sentence. Alfred's eyes redden and he looked vicious.

Vanessa rushed forward and shielded Georgia and Annie.

“Alfred, don’t you dare lay a finger on Georgia and Annie!”

Vanessa roared in anger, she could endure Alfred’s torture, but she would never allow Alfred to bully Georgia and Annie.

Alfred suddenly mocked sadly.

“One is your best friend and the other is your adopted daughter. You protect them with everything, and you are even willing to endure my torture just so that I won’t hurt these two people. You can be so kind to her, why can’t you do the same to me! Vanessa, why do you have affair with those men? What exactly do you take me for?”

Alfred hissed in pain as he was filled with mixed feelings towards Vanessa.

Both Vanessa and he were each other’s first love. Later when his only grandmother passed away, Vanessa broke up with him at that very moment. Because she couldn’t accept the fact that he was poor. She trampled his self-esteem onto the ground.

Alfred hated Vanessa’s behaviour that time. And his mother found him and brought him back to the Chow family.

At that time, Alfred thought about working hard and being someone better. And then he would make her repent for what she did to him.

But when he came back, he still couldn’t bear to see Vanessa in pain. So Alfred decided to let bygones be bygones. And he felt that he was going to marry Vanessa, whom he loved.

He was finally rich, and there was no way Vanessa would ever leave him.

However, at their wedding. The moment when the video was released, he became a joke in the eyes of everyone. And all the sincerity he had given was trampled again by Vanessa.

How could this not make him hate her?

“I told you none of the videos was me, except for the first one. So what on earth can make you believe me?”

Vanessa was already crying out in pain, she covered her head and felt like her head was about to explode.

She felt as if both herself and Alfred were hurting each other. Both breaking each other’s heart.

But Vanessa didn’t understand at all where those videos had come from.

How could she have done such a thing? It wasn’t as if she had amnesia. Vanessa crouched down in pain and cried.

Georgia was worried in an instant.

“What are you guys talking about? Are there any other videos? What the hell is going on here?”

Alfred, however, didn’t care about Georgia. He just gave a burst of mocking laughter at Vanessa.

“Your acting of being sad is so well!”

After saying this, Alfred walked directly outside. Georgia wanted to go after him and ask what really happened. But Vanessa had pulled Georgia’s hand.

“Georgia, don’t go out there, let him go…”

Georgia stopped in her tracks helplessly.

Annie was concerned about Vanessa.

“Mummy don’t cry. Annie is here, please don’t cry…”

Annie took her hand and gently wiped the tears from Vanessa’s face who kept shaking her head.

“Annie, I’m fine. I’m okay. It’s very late, can you go and rest first?”

Annie didn’t want to leave. She had never seen Vanessa in such distress. She was worried and wanted to be by her side.

“Mummy, I’m fine. I’ve just had a nap and I’m not feeling sleepy. I’ll stay with you. Please don’t cry so much, okay?”

Vanessa sobbed as she nodded her head.

But this time, she could no longer control her emotions in front of her daughter. Her tears streamed down her face for quite a while before she could get them under control.

During this time, Georgia and Annie quietly stayed by Vanessa’s side. Waiting for her to calm down, it took almost half an hour before she finally stopped crying.

She wiped the tears on her face and smiled forcefully at Annie.

“I’m fine now, I’m going to take a bath now. Annie go to bed first, okay? You can’t stay up late and you need to rest more. Could you listen to me this time?”

Annie was a little reluctant and Georgia rushed to persuade her.

“Annie, I’ll be by her side. So, don’t you worry about mummy Vanessa. I'll be by her side, I'll take you to bed, okay?"

Annie was finally compromised, and she gave Vanessa a kiss on the cheek.

"Mummy, please don’t get so upset, okay, I'll just go to bed and you must wake me up with a kiss in the morning."

Vanessa smiled and nodded, waiting until after Georgia had carried and coaxed Annie inside the bedroom. Vanessa walked to the sofa alone and sat down, instantly bursting into tears.

After putting Annie to bed, it had been almost half an hour or so, and Georgia quietly walked out of the bedroom as she headed towards the lighted living room.

Vanessa sat alone on the sofa in silence, her eyes were still red.

Georgia guessed that Vanessa must have just burst into tears again, which made Georgia even more distressed.

She slowly walked up to Georgia and asked in a soft voice.

"What happened? Why can't I understand much of what you and Alfred are arguing about. And were there any other videos?"

Georgia asked as carefully as she could. She didn’t want to trigger Vanessa, whose eyes were filled with sadness.

"Georgia, I don't understand either, I think I'm going crazy…"

Georgia walked up to Vanessa and she bent down and asked.

"Just tell me what's wrong, I'm here and Annie is here, we'll work it out together, don't be afraid."

"Vanessa, I almost thought Annie was dead at first, weren't you desperate too back then? We have gotten through something so painful, why should you be afraid now? As long as we are still alive, there is always a chance that we can confront the difficulties in front of us."

Vanessa, however, instantly sobbed as she reached out her arms and hugged Georgia tightly.

"Georgia, I really can't take it anymore, I feel like I'm going crazy, I even wonder if I did something like that. That night, not long after the video of my wedding dress, Alfred came inside the hospital and he forced me to watch other videos, videos of a woman in bed with other men doing all kinds of adultery stuff. But the woman in those videos looked exactly like me! Georgia, I don't understand, I never made such videos and I don't know those people in the videos, so why would I have such videos? Do you think I've had amnesia? Or am I missing a year of memory, why would I ever have those videos?"

Vanessa was crying so much that she almost broke down, and it was only at this moment that Georgia understood the reason for Alfred and Vanessa's quarrel.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Vanessa, you haven't lost your memory at all, don't talk nonsense, Alfred thought that the person in that video was you, that's because the person in it looks similar to you, but how can you not know whether you have done those things or not?"

Vanessa was, however, still tearing up.

"Georgia, it's because it's clear that I feel even more desperate, I don't even know if I should doubt myself or if I should be whimsical enough to think that someone in this world looks like me and made a video like that, which happened to be seen by Alfred, I think I've gone crazy, I can only comfort myself like this every day, telling myself that it was taken by someone else who just happened to look like me It just happened to look like me."

Vanessa's whole body was already filled with despair when she said this, while Georgia’s eyes instantly lit up.
