After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 111 - 108 Master Carter with a Green Glow Over His Head
Chapter 111: Chapter 108 Master Carter with a Green Glow Over His Head
For some reason, Emily Parker felt a hint of annoyance in Carlos’s gaze.
How had she offended Carlos?
Carlos had been woken up early in the morning by a call from Faye Manor.
Faye’s uncle had started an auto parts factory and wanted to cooperate with Carter Automotive.
Faye kept nagging him to have lunch together.
Carlos ignored him, as it was the weekend and the small clinic was closed today; he planned to have lunch with Emily.
He had been living in the study for quite a while now, and in light of the meals Emily had cooked for him, he decided not to hold it against her and to move back and sleep with her today.
But as soon as he went downstairs, he found that not only was there no steaming lunch in the dining room, Emily’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
On asking the servants, he learned that Emily had gone out to eat lunch with someone.
Carlos was already feeling displeased when Faye called again, and to his dismay, he heard that Faye was indeed having lunch with Emily.
Why was it that no one informed him that his good friend and his wife were dining together?
Carlos couldn’t help but feel he was being made a cuckold.
He immediately had the driver take him to the Peace Hotel.
When Faye saw Carlos, he was also puzzled and came forward,
"Master Carter, didn’t you say you weren’t coming for lunch?"
Carlos forced a smile, glanced at Emily, and said,
"Nobody was there to have lunch with me, so I changed my mind and came over."
When Emily heard this, she couldn’t help but sense a hint of grievance in Carlos’s words. freeweɓnovel.cøm
"Well, since you’re here, let’s all have lunch together."
Faye waved his hand, completely oblivious to the odd atmosphere between Emily and Carlos.
"Uncle Parker, Mrs. Parker, this is my good buddy Carlos."
"No need for introductions, I know them."
Carlos put his hands in his pockets, with a nonchalant and carefree demeanor.
"What a coincidence, Emily."
"When did you two meet?"
Scratching his head, Faye couldn’t recall Carlos ever mentioning it.
Emily coughed lightly and vaguely nodded,
"We met at the hospital."
Faye remembered that Emily worked as a nurse at People’s Hospital, so he thought nothing of it and assumed they merely crossed paths there.
"Now that everyone knows each other, it’s even better.
I’ll skip going to my uncle’s place then."
Saying this, Faye led them to the National Beauty Hall.
He chatted with Father and Mrs. Parker intermittently.
Seeing Faye’s attentive behavior, Carlos sneered inside; Faye was likely kissing up to the wrong person—the relationship between Emily and her parents wasn’t harmonious.
Mrs. Parker kept her distance from Carlos; the tea he once splashed on her face had scalded her with several blisters, almost ruining her appearance.
Father Parker was also seeing Carlos for the first time. That day at the police station, Carlos was dressed casually, which was nothing like the distinguished young master he was today.
Although Father Parker had previously arranged a blind date between Emily and Carlos, he had never met Carlos. Now, seeing Carlos’s tall and handsome figure standing beside the gentle and refined Adam Willow, it seemed Carlos was even more impressive.
Thinking of the Carter Family’s immense wealth, Father Parker couldn’t help but blame Emily for not being assertive enough; such a good match on the blind date, and yet she had not secured it.
Sophie Parker and Adam Willow each had their own concerns.
Grandma Parker was astonished; the young men of Capital were truly outstanding, weren’t they?
They had already thought Sophie’s previous suitor was quite remarkable.
But now looking at these two men, Faye was effortlessly suave and casual, while Carlos was incredibly handsome, like a movie star.
Aunt Parker glanced at Emily and then at Faye.
She had worked as a nanny in Capital and recognized some famous brands; Faye was wearing designer clothes, and he had been so attentive to Emily, he must have been pursuing her.
This is a great catch!
In the conversation, Faye Manor led a few people to the National Beauty Hall, which was indeed much larger than the Celestial Fragrance Hall that Mrs. Parker had booked before.
The private room was grand and opulent, rumored to have a minimum charge of 88888.
Faye Manor courteously asked Grandma Parker, the eldest, to take the main seat, with Father Parker and Mrs. Parker sitting to Grandma Parker’s left, and Aunt Parker sitting on the right.
"Brother Adam, you should sit too."
Sophie Parker pulled Adam Willow to sit next to their parents.
Emily Parker and Carlos walked one after the other, trailing behind.
Just as Emily sat down, Faye Manor was about to walk over, only to see Carlos plop down beside Emily.
Fortunately, the table was large, and Faye Manor was about to sit down on the other side of Emily.
Unexpectedly, Carlos stretched his leg, crossed over the back of Emily’s chair, and kicked Faye Manor’s stool.
"Go and order the dishes."
Faye Manor rolled his eyes and begrudgingly went to attend to the ordering.
Taking advantage of Faye Manor being busy, Aunt Parker quickly went to Emily’s side and sat down beside her.
"Emily, Auntie was wrong before.
Actually, it’s right that you don’t want to be a nanny at such a young age."
Aunt Parker’s attitude had completely changed.
She always looked down on Emily, considering her an illegitimate daughter and far inferior to Sophie Parker.
Letting her come to the Capital to study was all thanks to the generosity of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Parker.
Emily had graduated several years ago and had yet to get married; she had been lingering at home.
Girls from their village started working and sending money home right after junior high or high school.
Not like Emily, who was still spending the family’s money.
That is why she previously suggested that Emily should be a live-in nanny.
But now, seeing that Emily has an outstanding pursuer like Faye Manor!
Emily ignored Aunt Parker.
"That Young Master Manor is pursuing you, right?
Look, he is a rich bachelor.
You should hurry up and marry him."
Saying that, she sneakily glanced at Carlos next to the pale Emily.
Actually, this Young Master Carter was not bad either; it’s just that his clothes weren’t from any famous brand, so he probably wasn’t as wealthy as Young Master Manor.
Aunt Parker had no idea that Carlos’s clothes were all tailor-made, unavailable in ordinary stores.
Emily coughed lightly, unsure if Carlos had heard what Aunt Parker had said.
"Me and Manor Three are just ordinary friends."
Aunt Parker continued in a lowered voice.
"What friendship is there between men and women?
You won’t find a shop after passing this village.
I’m telling you, many people are vying for such rich bachelors.
You have to act fast, it’s best to get pregnant before marriage, then you can rise to prominence through your child."
Aunt Parker thought to herself, back when she was young and worked as a nanny, she also wanted to marry into a wealthy family and become a phoenix rising to the treetop. However, she tried to seduce the master several times, and he never took to her.
If she had Emily’s looks and figure, she would have become a high-society lady in the Capital long ago.
At that end, Carlos seemed to be playing with his phone, but actually, his ears were pricked up high.
While Aunt Parker was enthusiastically talking, Carlos abruptly stood up.
He passed by Emily and with a bang, bumped into Aunt Parker’s stool.
Aunt Parker was heavy, and with Carlos’s bump, she wasn’t seated firmly and fell to the ground.
"I’m going to the restroom."
Carlos didn’t even glance at Aunt Parker, striding over with long steps toward the restroom.
