Chapter 258



“That’s typical Bria,” Ewing commented. “She hasn’t hurt Kallie yet, so leave her alone. If she knows we’re watching her, she might do something crazy. Anyway, she will be sent away soon. Arrangements were already made. During this period, ensure Kallie’s safety.”

Right after Ewing finished talking, the butler came in, looking embarrassed. “Mr. Nixon, Mrs. Reeves has a visitor.”

“Is he Kallie’s friend? Did he say who he is?” Ewing asked, curious.

The butler nodded. “His name is Jake Reeves.”

Ewing was surprised. “Why does he come?” he asked. “Does he have doubts about my arrangements, or is he planning to tell Kallie something?”

Ewing supposed Jake was a jerk who left his pregnant wife for another woman.

Although Ewing appreciated Jake’s decisive approaches and remarkable capabilities, he had reservations about Jake’s personal life.

Ewing had intended to dismiss Jake outright. However, he changed his mind after a second thought.

“Ask Kallie if she wants to see him. If she does, find a place for them to meet.”

“Yes, sir,” the butler said politely.

Kallie was stunned when she heard Jake’s arrival for her. She thought Jake would send her the divorce papers directly and didn’t expect him to show up in person. Could it be that he wanted to see her sign the divorce papers himself? It could be the reason behind his visit since he surely wanted to end things with her so that he could marry Sarah.

Kallie nodded as she desired a swift closure of their unhappy marriage.

Five minutes later, Jake was escorted to her room. He was still as handsome as before. His demeanor was constantly calm, and his eyes rarely betrayed his feelings.

As Jake walked in, Kallie stood up and nodded at him as a greeting.

After the encounter yesterday, Kallie was much more composed when facing him.

Approaching Kallie, Jake managed to conceal his inner delight and forced himself not to sit too close to her.

“How’s the baby? Everything’s good?” Jake asked gently.

Kallie nodded, caressing her belly with a faint smile. As the baby grew, she could feel the little kicks and movements, a truly magical experience.

Before, she could only sense the baby during ultrasound scans. But now, she could feel her baby, even through the skin.

Jake’s smile was tinged with bitterness as he clenched and then relaxed his fists in resignation.

“I know the baby is mine. I was an idiot back then,” Jake said.

Edgar had revealed the whole story to Jake after Kallie went missing.

Before, there was a time when Jake realized the baby Kallie was carrying was actually his. But as if fate would have it, he fainted before he could make amends, this fragment of memories concealed because of the effects of the drug.

Now that Jake had tracked down the source of the drug he had been subjected to, the other party could no longer undermine him with the use of the drug.
