175.Chapter 175
The sky was bright when Teresa opened her eyes. She moved her sore body and found herself leaning against a warm chest. She turned around and saw streaks of sunlight shining down on Jonathan’s handsome face. The bright sun made him squint, so he pulled up the blanket to cover his face.
Teresa gasped, rubbing her aching forehead. She vaguely remembered the previous night when she drank a lot at the company’s product launch event. She drank because Jonathan was by her side, so she instinctively trusted that he wouldn‘ t abandon her even if she got drunk.
However, Teresa wondered how she ended up in bed with Jonathan. Fragments of memory flooded her mind. Suddenly recalling something, she looked down at the clothes scattered across the floor and noticed an unopened condom on the table
Teresa felt a ring in her head as she recalled, “Jonathan… we… have a… baby‘
In the intimate atmosphere, Teresa couldn’t help but blurt out the secret. After saying that, she sensed that the man behind her had paused and placed the condom on the table.
“He didn’t use protection last night!‘ Teresa realized.
Teresa started dressing immediately. Her rushed movements woke Jonathan up, and he saw her pale face with a hint of panic. He instinctively reached for her hand and called out in a daze, “Honey.”
Having only woken up, Jonathan’s voice was slightly hoarse. However, his casual “Honey” stung Teresa. She shook off his hand and turned to him with resentment. She said, “I’m not your wife anymore. Why didn’t you use protection last night?”
Jonathan’s brows furrowed as he came to his senses. Then, he sat up and replied, “I forgot.”
“Forgot? Why didn’t you forget last time? You knew I had been drinking last night!” shouted Teresa.
Jonathan also started getting dressed and explained, “I drank, too, but I was a bit more sober. I remember you told me “Let’s have a baby, so I went along with it.”
Teresa pressed her lips together. She knew better than anyone what she had said, whether it was “Let’s have a baby,” or ” We have a baby.” However, she could only pretend that she was clueless and played dumb. “I never said that,” she said.
“I remember you did. I’m pretty sure,” said Jonathan.
“I didn’t. You must’ve misheard? Teresa responded.
Jonathan pressed his lips together and stared at the frustrated Teresa. Both of them were fully dressed then. What happened last night had already happened. Compared to the time when Teresa was drugged, the current situation was
much more serious.
After all, Jonathan was sober when they slept together last time, so he made sure not to get Teresa pregnant. However, they were both drunk the previous night, not to mention Jonathan distinctly remembered hearing Teresa telling him in a tearful voice, “Jonathan, let’s have a baby.”
Jonathan was already 30 years old. Moreover, the person lying under him the previous night was the one he could never move on from. Thus, at that moment, he put aside the condom he had taken out of the drawer and pulled Teresa into his
arms
“Since it’s already happened, I can’t just ignore it. I also remember saying to you last night to marry me again,” said
