Chapter 3 See You at the Courthouse
Renee’s nose sweated. She explained embarrassedly, “N-nothing.”
“What did you hide? What’s your trick?”
Quincy bent and stretched out to get her bag.
She stepped back at once, and her head hit his chin. He moaned. The bag was turned, and things in the bag dropped out.
They fell silent.
Quincy glanced at the tampons and was awkward. He was surprised.
Renee was extremely nervous because she had the pregnancy test stick in her hand.
Quincy frowned. “Get out. Do you want to stay with me when I use the toilet?”
She was awkward, bent to pick up her bag, and left.
She asked for leave and went to the hospital for a checkup.
The results showed that she was pregnant.
The doctor glanced at her. “The baby is good. Do you want to keep it?”
She was pregnant!
“Yes.” She was determined.
She couldn’t keep her husband. But she was determined to keep her baby.
Renee pondered and decided to talk about it to Quincy. On the one hand, he was the baby’s father. He had the right to know it.
On the other hand, she didn’t think she could keep the secret.
She hoped that Quincy could show mercy for her baby. If he didn’t want the baby, she would stay away from him.
Renee sat on the sofa in the villa nervously, waiting for Quincy to come back.
But he didn’t come back…
The next day.
Renee went to work in the spring resort, only to see her colleagues gathering at the gate and chatting.
She asked curiously, “What happened?”
“Renee, we finally found out who was Mrs. Patel.”
Renee paused. Did she give herself away? It was impossible. When they got married, Quincy said he wouldn’t announce their marriage. Only their family and close friends knew it.
The next second, her colleague said excitedly, “Just now, Mr. Patel came with a young girl. She doesn’t look like a secretary. Her luggage was put in Mr. Patel’s room. She must be his wife.”
Renee could tell who she was. It must be Lisa.
No wonder he didn’t come home. It turned out that he stayed with his lover.
She touched her belly… Quincy even took his lover to the company. Even if she told him that she was pregnant, nothing would change. Instead, he would think that she was threatening him with the baby. Then she would end up losing her baby.
So she couldn’t let Quincy know that she had a baby.
Suddenly, the director’s voice brought her back to her senses. “Renee, send the candle to the spring. Mr. Patel needs it.”
“OK.”
Renee had been working on the spring project, so she was familiar with the layout of the resort.
She walked to the spring. There was steam. She saw the man in the water at once.
Quincy?
She wanted to talk to him and ask him to go through the divorce procedures. She decided to leave him before her belly became bigger.
Just as she wanted to move forward, a woman in her robe came out of the room with a tray and knelt on one knee. “Quincy, are you sure we do this here?”
“Yes.”
Quincy closed his eyes. The woman took off her robe. She is only in a bikini, revealing her good shape.
Renee saw her lean against him with a shy expression. What would happen next was obvious.
Her heart ached. Then she recalled that he had sex with her but mistook her for another woman.
Even if she told him that she was pregnant, he would not believe that he was the father of the baby.
Renee touched her belly and cried. She thought, “Sorry. I have to keep the secret for your sake.”
She left the spring pool and texted Quincy: “See you at the Courthouse at 9 a.m.”
His phone rang by the pool.
Quincy opened his eyes and checked the message. Then his face turned cold. “Heh!”
He didn’t expect her to be so urgent.
Quincy thought, “Are you playing hard to get again?”
Lisa saw the message and smiled proudly.
A month ago, her brother planned to force Quincy to divorce Renee by threatening him. However, Quincy managed to destroy all the evidence.
Then it went nowhere.
Since Quincy didn’t put it on the table, Lisa decided to make Renee take the first step.
She pretended to be considerate.
“Quincy, I can explain to your wife. She must be angry and doesn’t know what she is doing. Girls don’t really want to end the relationships when they say so. She just wants you to comfort her. Don’t take it seriously. She doesn’t want to get divorced.”
“I know more than you do.”
Quincy put away his phone. He wanted to put it aside after solving the problem caused by Lisa’s brother.
Although Renee was scheming, she was so nice to his grandmother. She even took better care of his grandmother than he did.
But he didn’t expect her to scheme against him again.
Quincy sneered.
He wouldn’t let her have her wish again.
Quincy glanced at Lisa, who was in a bikini, and frowned. “Put on your poncho next time.”
“Quincy, I put it on for you. Don’t you like it?”
Suddenly, she pretended to lose her balance and jumped into his arms.
A splash sounded…
