Chapter 435: Chapter 710

Chapter 710 This put a confident smile on Kailee’s face, as she felt a sense of superiority.

Just as she was about to greet Natalie, she was surprised to see Garrett affectionately holding Laney.

“Kailee, this is my wife, Laney. I’m here to pick her up. Honey, this is my old classmate, Kailee Gibson.” Garrett warmly introduced them to each other.

The smile on Kailee’s face immediately became crooked.

She looked at Laney up and down in disbelief, with jealousy and disdain burning in her eyes. Initially, she was only shocked that Garrett was married.

She didn’t expect that in addition to being married, his wife would be pregnant. It also seemed like the baby was going to be delivered in a matter of days. Kailee found the fact unpalatable. What kind of person was Garrett? He was a wild and notorious playboy. How could he ever stay with one woman?

Laney, however, didn’t notice anything different with Kailee. She simply nodded politely and said, “Hello, Miss Gibson.”

With a forced smile, Kailee responded, “Hello.” Garrett’s attention was completely taken off Kailee. Instead, he carefully held Laney’s arm and asked gently, “How are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort today? Is the baby being naughty?”

Garrett’s affection was so sweet that the restlessness Laney had been feeling disappeared in an instant. She r*bbed her belly gently and smiled. “It hasn’t even been born yet. How can it be naughty?”

“That’s good,” Garrett cracked a goofy smile – very much unlike his wild and unruly former self. “Have you decided which hospital you want to go to?”

Laney nodded. “This one’s okay. I just had a look around it with Natalie. It’s not bad at all.” Upon hearing this, Garrett felt a bit helpless. He hadn’t expected Laney to finally settle on the hospital that his father had picked, but he decided not to debate it with her since her mind was already made up.

He resolved to keep a close eye on things and not allow the Harding family to bother Laney. Witnessing the romantic bond bet**en Garrett and Laney made Kailee feel even more uncomfortable.

In the past, Garrett was a big shot in school. A simple smile from him was enough to charm hundreds of girls. It had taken Kailee a lot of effort to become his girlfriend.

At that time, they were the dream couple of the school. So many girls were jealous of her. If she didn’t have to travel abroad for further studies, she wouldn’t have broken up with him. The thing that puzzled Kailee the most was how gentle Garrett was with Laney. She’d never seen him like this.

This kind of tenderness unexpectedly belonged to an ordinary woman now.

Kailee almost became engulfed with jealousy. “Kailee? Kailee?” Noticing the absent-minded look on Kailee’s face, Garrett waved his hand in front of her and asked, “What’s on your mind?’

Kailee snapped back to her senses. Upon noticing the confused look on Garrett’s face, she quickly made up an excuse. “Oh, I was just thinking about work. What’s up?”

Garrett didn’t think too much of it. He smiled at Laney and said, “The Gibson family owns this hospital, right? My wife will go to your hospital soon.

Promise me to take good care of her. Alright?”

The level of care that Garrett was showing Laney made Kailee even more jealous. In order to maintain her composure, however, Kailee took a deep breath to try and calm down. “Of course. I’ll ask the staff to take very good care of her. You have nothing to worry about.”

“Thank you. I really appreciate it,” Garrett thanked her sincerely.

But the distance bet**en them deeply hurt Kailee. The contrast bet**en Garrett’s attitude towards his wife and his attitude towards her was so striking that she couldn’t stay another second. She made up an excuse and got ready to leave.

Garrett, however, didn’t think much of it. After saying goodbye to Kailee, his attention went right back to Laney.

Upon seeing the couple’s affectionate interaction with each other, Natalie felt relieved “Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll get going. Brandon’s waiting for me at home.” Garrett was grateful to Natalie for accompanying Laney to the hospital. “Thank you for taking care of my wife today, Natalie. I’ll make sure to treat you to dinner one of these days.”

Natalie was just about to leave when she suddenly thought of the look in Kailee’s eyes. There was a strange reluctance and jealousy in her eyes. It didn’t look like she was looking at her old classmate, but like she was looking at her old lover.

Natalie immediately got vigilant, thinking that she had the duty to warn Garrett as Laney’s close friend.

“Hold on, Laney. Can I be with Garrett for a while? I need to talk to him about something,” Natalie said, pulling Garrett aside with a frown and looking at him with an inquiring gaze.

“What’s wrong?” Garrett was terrified by Natalie’s gaze.

“What’s your relationship with Kailee? I don’t think you two are just classmates,” Natalie asked Garrett in a low voice while secretly glancing at Laney.

Garrett didn’t expect Natalie to be so sharp that she even sensed that he had a special relationship with Kailee.

However, Garrett did not want to hide it from her. He looked straight at her and admitted frankly, “We used to date when we were in school. And she is my first love.”

“Your first love?” Natalie exclaimed.

“Keep your voice down!” Garrett hurriedly glanced at Laney to make sure that she did not hear them. He then sighed with relief and said helplessly, “That’s in the past. We’ve both moved on.”

However, Natalie didn’t believe it because she knew how much men valued their first love. Not to mention, there was something unusual about the way Kailee looked at Garrett now. It seemed like Kailee still had feelings for Garrett.

“Really?” With knitted brows, Natalie looked at Garrett suspiciously.

Garrett signed helplessly and insisted, “I used to be a playboy back then, but I’ve been absolutely loyal to Laney ever since I’m with her. Besides, Kailee and I dated a long time ago. Don’t worry, Laney is the only one I love now.”

Seeing that Garrett didn’t seem to be lying, Natalie was relieved, but she still reminded him, “Since Laney is pregnant now, she can’t bear to lake any stress or stimulation. You’d better be careful.”

Garrett nodded firmly. Laney was his beloved wife, and he wouldn’t do anything to hurt her. “But I have one thing to ask.” Garrett scratched his head and continued, “Can you hide this from Laney for the time being? You know, she is pregnant now and she is sensitive. I’m afraid that she might overthink it.” Natalie also felt that it made sense, so she agreed.

After Natalie left, Laney asked in confusion, “What were you two whispering about? And why were you being so secretive?”

Garrett made up an excuse and said, “Natalie was just scolding me for not taking good care of you and for not being with you when you came to the hospital.”

Laney was amused by his exaggerated tone, so she didn’t dwell on the matter. She touched his nose intimately and said playfully, “I think Natalie is right. How are you going to make amends to me?”

“I’ve brought your favorite desserts.” Garrett waved the upscale dessert bag in his hand with pride. “How is it? Do you like it?”

But to his surprise, Laney frowned and asked, “What about Natalie? Didn’t you bring her desserts?”

Laney was already feeling guilty because Natalie left Brandon to accompany her to look around the hospitals.

She didn’t expect Garrett to be so inconsiderate and thoughtless, which annoyed her. He should have brought desserts for Natalie!
