Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love novel Chapter 137

“Vanessa, you’re probably right. If the video wasn’t faked, someone who looked like you must’ve filmed that video. It must be.”

Vanessa could only let out a bitter smile.

“What are the chances of them finding someone who looked like me? Gigi, you don’t need to comfort me. There’s probably something wrong with me.”

Georgia suddenly became anxious.

“Vanessa, I’m not just comforting you. My assumption wasn’t based on nothing. Do you know what I saw on my way back today?”

As soon as Georgia finished her words, Vanessa asked her back in doubt.

“What did you see then?”

“When I was claiming my luggage at the airport today, I saw someone who looked exceptionally like you. But I was a little far from her, so I couldn’t be sure if the both of you looked exactly the same. After that, I even prepared to run over with my luggage because I thought it was you, and I was wondering why you were at the airport too. Before I could reach the lady, she had disappeared amidst the sea of people.”

“Vanessa, you’re an orphan, how could you be sure that no one else in this world looks like you? I can assure you that the woman I saw looked just like you, no joke. Oh, and after I realized that, I went to the public phone right away to call you but you didn’t pick up. That was why I came here immediately.”

After listening to Georgia’s words, Vanessa was astounded.

“Gigi, are you really not lying just to comfort me?”

Georgia shook her head in seriousness.

“Why would I make up such a lie to comfort you? I really saw that at the airport. Vanessa, you can’t give up yet, and just ignore Alfred’s misunderstanding towards you for the time being. What we must do now is find out the person doing all these. She looked exactly like you, so what if you were a missing child? Maybe you can even find your parents, right? Don’t give up yet and don’t be afraid.”

Vanessa was initially a little surprised, and then felt slightly relieved from the burden that had been weighing her down. Her desolation for the past few days had lessened a little too. However, she let out a wry laugh soon after.

“Gigi, if what you said about me having a twin sister was true, she must be living a difficult life too. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have filmed such videos. She might even have a more miserable life than I do. How unlucky are we?”

“Even if this is the case, we need to find her too. Not only can it prove your innocence, but it can help the girl too.”

“This world is so huge. Gigi, do you think we can find someone so easily? For the past twenty years, I’ve never seen anyone who looked like me. As for you, you met her once by coincidence. Do you think we can see her again?”

“Vanessa, why are you so silly? Think properly. Why would Alfred have the video? Someone who dislikes you or Alfred must’ve sent it to him. And that person probably knows where the girl is. We can start by asking Alfred where he got the video from.”

“But I don’t think he would tell me.”

Vanessa laughed bitterly. She understood Alfred. He was an arrogant and conceited man, but she had trampled on his self-esteem.

Finally, Alfred decided to let it go and gave her another chance after he came back. However, the video that was played during the wedding ceremony broke off all hopes for the pair.

Alfred was so disappointed in Vanessa now, so how would he be willing to cooperate with her to dig into this matter? Vanessa no longer expected anything from Alfred either way.

“Don’t be disappointed so soon. There’s also hope in everything. Let’s take it a step at a time.”

Before Georgia could finish her words, Vanessa forced another smile. She couldn’t bring herself to be courageous anymore.

On the contrary, Georgia had already begun to think of a solution in her head. In fact, she already had someone she suspected. After thinking about it, she spoke again.

“It’s fine if we can’t get any information from Alfred. But Vanessa, weren’t we suspicious of who played the video during the wedding ceremony? It must be Rachel Scott! Do you think she could be the one to send the video to Alfred too?”

“Maybe Rachel knows the truth, but she definitely won’t tell us.”

Vanessa replied dejectedly, but Georgia was still keeping the gears spinning.

Rachel had parents and relatives. If they could find her weak spot, was it possible to force the truth out of her?

However, they didn’t know where to begin. This made Georgia overwhelmed and anxious.

“Forget it. Vanessa, it’s late, don’t think about Alfred anymore and go to bed. I’ll stay here from today onwards. I won’t leave you and Annie all by yourselves.”

Vanessa showed a surprised look this time around.

“You’re coming back to stay with me? Is Robert fine with it? By the way, what happened to the both of you?”

Vanessa seemed to be curious and started to ask Georgia a series of questions.

Georgia had briefly told her everything over the phone before this, and now she was explaining the whole kidnapping story in detail.

In the end, Vanessa only sighed.

“So it was Mr. Knight who did it. Gigi, I don’t think he would let this go so easily. He will definitely strike at Robert again, or maybe even you. You must be careful.”

Georgia forced a smile.

“At this point, I don’t even know what is right or wrong anymore. I just want to protect Annie. As for Robert, I feel guilty towards him but I really can’t be with him.”

“What about the unborn kid in your tummy?”

Vanessa asked puzzledly.

Robert cared about Georgia, and he had a good feeling towards her. After Vanessa confirmed this piece of information with Georgia, she actually felt relieved.

At least this man was willing to protect Georgia. When their lives were at stake, he placed Georgia’s safety over his own. He was a man that was worthy of Georgia’s trust.

“For now, I am still the culprit behind Wendy’s car accident. His mother hates me so I really can’t tell them anything about this unborn child. Judging from how much his mother loathes me, I bet she would ask me to get an abortion. Vanessa, I must protect my child.”

After Georgia said all these, then only did Vanessa remember Robert’s mother.

His mother was indeed a difficult woman to deal with. If Georgia were to reveal that she had a kid in her belly, that woman would definitely force her to get an abortion.

“I understand your concerns now, but shouldn’t you at least talk this out with Robert? He can even give up his own life to protect you, so maybe you can actually try to put more trust in him.”

Georgia smiled bitterly as she shook her head.

“In this world, men can abandon women, even the women they love but not their mother. The same goes for Robert, and it’s not like I like him a lot too so there was no need for him to make such a choice. Once my research yields results, we will go abroad. Vanessa, we’ll bring Annie out of here and stay away from all these problems, okay?”

Vanessa thought about her own mental health, along with the pressure Alfred was giving her. Georgia’s words seemed to have given her a glimpse of hope again.

“Gigi, you’re right. We shouldn’t stay at this place. The people here hate us so maybe leaving this place is the best choice.”

When Vanessa said this, she even had a smile on her face, which was a huge contrast with her worried look from earlier. It seemed like she was looking forward to leaving this place.

Georgia was even more determined about leaving now too.

After saying all that, Georgia thought of Travis and asked Vanessa about him.

Georgia was unsure if Travis was still in the hospital and was worried about him.

Vanessa showed an apologetic expression soon after.

“Gigi, sorry. It was already late after I called you last night so I didn’t go to the hospital to ask about his condition. I was with Annie the whole day today so I didn’t get to go out too.”

Georgia wasn’t angry and started to comfort Vanessa.

“Nah, it’s okay. It’s too late anyway. I’ll go to the hospital to ask about it after work tomorrow.”

As Georgia said so, Vanessa remembered something and added.

“If you go tomorrow night, you’ll be worried for the rest of today. It’s not appropriate to call the hospital at this time too. Why don’t you give Selena a call tomorrow? She might know about Travis’ condition. Even if she doesn’t, she can always call Travis to ask.”

“Vanessa, you’re right. I’ll call her tomorrow morning and ask about it.”

“It’s already late so don’t think too much and have a good rest. We’ll think of a way to find the woman who looks just like you. She could be your sister after all.”

Vanessa nodded.

“I’ll sleep in this bedroom. You can go back to Annie’s bedroom. I bet you miss her after such a long time.”

Georgia smiled.

“Well, remember not to overthink things and rest. There are no obstacles that cannot be overcome in this world. There is hope as long as we are still alive.”

Vanessa smiled again because Georgia’s last words made her anticipate the future with hope.

Perhaps she could truly be free after leaving this place.

As long as she could find the woman who looked like her, maybe Alfred can let the matter go and not torture her anymore.

With such expectations, Vanessa calmed herself down and slowly entered dreamland.

Early the next morning, Georgia got up and prepared breakfast. She wanted to prepared chicken noodles for Vanessa and Annie.

When she was done cooking, it was already 7.00 a.m. Georgia walked towards Annie’s room, dressed her up and told her to wash up before eating her breakfast.

Then, she knocked on Vanessa’s door to wake her up for breakfast too.

The three of them had a happy meal together. Before taking the bus to work, Georgia reminded Vanessa to take good care of Annie.

Due to the kidnapping incident, Georgia hadn’t gone to work for a long time. It was necessary for her to report herself to mu today.

It was 7.30 a.m. when she got on the bus. She took out her phone and gave Selena a call.
