Chapter 4

Learning my plan, John supposed that a pregnant woman traveling alone was a quite risky choice. He asked Karson to drive me..

It did have its point. I had no choice but to agree.

Karson appeared to be quite eager to do so, stating that he was finally capable of lending a helping hand.

He went to fetch the car merrily and even opened the door for me in a charmingly gentlemanly manner.

Given Karson's decent behavior over the past few days, with no actions that could be misconstrued, my aversion towards him had lessened.

Seeing him act so courteous and refined now, my guard lowered even further.

We set off together towards my parents' house, which was only a thirty-minute drive away.

which was only a thirty-minute drive away.

As we were passing by the local food stalls, Karson pulled over to purchase a cup of coke and my favorite fried chips for me.

These snacks were usually considered as junk food by John, and he wouldn't permit me to eat them, especially when I was pregnant.

I was surprised Karson knew I liked them, and my impression of him improved significantly.

As I enjoyed the food, our conversation flowed more freely.

It turned out that the reason John had Karson act as my butler was because Karson's company had gone bankrupt.

He was currently out of work. Owing to his intense sense of pride, he declined to accept the direct assistance from John. This was how he chose to receive John's support.

I couldn't help but admire Karson's determination.

When we arrived, my mom was taken aback, asking why I had another man accompany me home.

Upon learning that I was pregnant and that John had specifically asked his good friend Karson to escort me, she became even more pleased with John.

Consequently, her stance towards Karson also took a turn for the better.

Karson was extremely humble and courteous. Coupled with his tall and good-looking appearance, he swiftly won my mother's respect.

She asked Karson if he was married and what kind of girl he preferred.

Karson replied that he wasn't married but already had someone he liked.

My mom felt a bit disappointed but didn't press further.

When Karson mentioned that there was someone he liked, I had a feeling that he took a glance at me, as if he was referring to me. I wasn't sure about it, though.

Nevertheless, I promptly dismissed this thought, reminding myself that I was already married.

After lunch, I went to take a nap as usual..

My mother said that she would go to buy some groceries and she would asked John to come over for dinner later.

I nodded and went to my room alone.

Before long, I drifted off to sleep.

In a daze, I felt someone tugging at my clothes.

I tried to brush them away, but the hand became more audacious.

I murmured, telling John to stop messing around, but then it hit me-John was still at work. Who was this man pressing down on me?

I snapped my eyes open to see Karson's face.

He was kneeling right between my legs, and I came to realize that I was nearly naked, except for the shirt I had been sleeping in.

In terms of him, he was stark naked.
