NovelEnglishChapter 473
Vespera had no idea what was going on with Luke right now. Then, he suddenly blurted out, agitated and visibly
struggling to get the words out, "Are you pregnant? You're pregnant with Dominic's child, aren't you?"
Vespera was rendered speechless. Was Luke out of his mind? Had he been binge-watching TV shows?
She stared at him like he had grown two heads. Too exhausted to argue, she just said, "lI only have a
stomachache."
"I don't believe you! Cwithto the hospital and get checked!" Luke shouted, refusing to believe Vespera's
words.
Vespera snapped, "Why would | need you to believe me? | don't have the tto argue with you. If you have so
much tto obsess over whether I'm pregnant, maybe use it to figure out how you're going to survive once
Tina comes back and buries you alive!"
Vespera pried Luke's fingers off her arm. Luke said, "So, you refused to have a child with me, but you'll gladly get
pregnant for Dominic. Is that it?"
"For the last time, I'm not pregnant!" Vespera yelled.
"Vespera, | hate you!" Luke shouted.
What on earth was wrong with Luke? First, Vespera had gotten a midnight horror show in the form of a picture
featuring four bloody severed heads. And now, she was getting harassed by her deranged ex-husband in an
elevator. And the worst part was that she couldn't even beat him in a fight.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe raised her hand and tried to pull his hand off her arm. She suggested, "How about this? There's a pharmacy
right outside. You can go and buy a pregnancy test. I'll test it right away, and we can put this insanity to rest.
Deal?"
Luke finally calmed down and said, "Let's go."
Still gripping Vespera's arm, he dragged her out of the elevator. They made it to the pharmacy. The moment he
stepped forward to pay for the test and released her wrist, she bolted without looking back.
"Vespera!" Luke yelled and went after Vespera.
At this time, Vespera had already dove into a taxi at the entrance. She shouted, "Drive! That man is insane. He
wants to kill me!"
Vespera looked dead serious. The taxi driver caught a glimpse of Luke sprinting toward them. The driver thought
that Luke was violent and instantly locked the doors. Then, he floored the gas, and the taxi sped off.
Luke was fuming, while Vespera let out a long breath.
The driver asked, "He's your husband, isn't he?"
"No, he isn't," answered Vespera.
"Don't lie. You women always fall for the handsones. But lettell you, looks mean nothing. It's the quiet
and composed ones you want. Men who chase you down the street like that? They're dangerous one day, he
beat you to death Divorces him before it's too late," said the driver. s
Vespera nodded and replied, "You know what? You're absolutely right. That man is a walking red flag."
The fact that a random taxi driver saw Luke as an abuser was kind of hilarious. Vespera decided to let Luke's
reputation rot. After all, he deserved it.
Vespera headed straight to the
office. Dominic and Gerard hadn't arrived yet. She popped a couple of
antacids for her stomach then headed down to the secretarial department. s
She had been out for a week. There was no doubt that her colleagues had been treating it like a holiday. the way
back up, her thoughts
drifted to the picture again. Sel. ne
thought about the picture of severed heads, and then the office atmosphere. The contrast was so jarring.
s
How did she get dragged into this mess? This was probably why Dominic didn't want to bring her along. Once
she stepped inside, there was no stepping out.
At exactly 9:00 am, Dominic arrived at the office. He had stayed at the Reid residence the night before, and
Gerard had picked him up first thing in the morning.
"I'll take the coffee in," said Vespera.
Vespera grabbed the cup from Gerard, who was holding the cup and was about to enter the president's office.
Gerard was stunned. It was the first tVespera beat him to deliver Dominic's coffee. With the cup of coffee in
her hand, Vespera entered the president's office.
"Mr. Reid, are you busy?" Vespera asked the moment she stepped inside.
She placed the cup of coffee on the desk and looked at Dominic urgently. She muttered, "I need to talk to you
about..."
Before Vespera could finish, Dominic smiled and said, "It has only been one night since we saw each other. This
is working hours. Let's talk tonight."
Vespera was at a loss for words.
