Kent pretended not to know and asked back, "Oh? What's wrong with your clothes? Are they uncomfortable?"

Audrey widened her eyes, her cheeks bulging, and the corners of Kent's lips curved slightly. She glared at him and said, "How could you..."

The conversation was not finished yet. Kent body pressed down slightly, getting closer and closer to her. His handsome face stopped just a few centimeters away from her, his beautiful thin lips slightly parted, and his low, magnetic voice was full of temptation. "What's wrong with me, hmm?"

Audrey's heart was pounding non-stop, and her face was completely red as if it had been ignited. She clenched the bed sheet and turned her face away, not looking at him. She wanted to curse him for being such a debaucher, but she resisted, remembering how terrifying he was especially when enraged.

The ambiguous atmosphere in the room surged, and Audrey felt that even breathing was difficult. Just when Audrey felt that she was about to be ignited, Kent's body retreated. There was a broad smile between his eyebrows, as if teasing her was really an interesting thing. Then he laughed softly and explained to her: "Aunt Stella, one of my housekeeper, helped you wipe your body and change your clothes. She said it's uncomfotable to sleep in sweaty clothes."

She listened to his explanation dumbfoundedly, and then reacted angrily, looking at him and pretending to say "oh" naturally.

Kent found it interesting and indulged her as he watched her pull the bed sheet. Then he comforted her in a surprisingly warm voice, "Aunt Stella made porridge. You should eat something."

Audrey nodded and watched him leave the room with a smile, thoughtfully closing the door behind him. Only then did Audrey bury her head in the quilt and roll over, slowly getting up to drink the porridge.

At the dining table.

The soft and sticky yam sesame porridge was served in a white jade porcelain bowl, with three delicate and delicious side dishes and cute little milk buns.

Audrey stared at the dishes in front of her, trying her very best not to drool at the sight of the delicious appetizers..

She held onto the stairs, supporting her still not very visible belly, and carefully descended step by step from upstairs. On the sofa, Kent put down the documents in his hand and looked up at her. The girl in her twenties had no makeup on her face, she was fair and tender, her eyes were clear and seemed to be shining when she looked at him, and her lips were small and delicate, giving off a sweet and clean vibe. At this moment, she was pregnant, walking down the stairs one step at a time with a gentle gaze, and her whole being radiating with maternal radiance, making her gentle and heartwarming.

Kent walked up to her and helped her to the dining table, scooping two bowls of porridge and sitting opposite her, drinking slowly. Aunt Stella brought a cushion and let Audrey lean against it, smiling and saying, "Miss Audrey is pregnant for the first time, so she must be careful. Young Master has no experience yet, so I'Il look after her more"

Aunt Stella was an old person in the Sylvester 's family, and seeing her young master holding the girl and taking her into the master bedroom, she probably had a good idea of what was going on, plus the little girl was clean and obedient, which she also liked.

It is quite unfortunate that a young and radiant girl like Audrey must endure the burden of raising a child that was never meant to be hers. She must not only carry this child within her as it matures, but she must also experience the emotional journey of giving birth to a child who shares her own bloodline, only to hand the precious baby over to another. In addition to this heartbreak, Audrey will never be able to partake in the joys of physical touch, visits, or guiding the child through life. This child will grow up in ignorance of the secrets surrounding 'their' birth, thinking that Mrs. Hailey, the wife of Mr Kent is their biological mother.

"Thank you, Aunt Stella." Audrey obediently thanked her. She then heard Kent put down his chopsticks, picked up the documents from the sofa, and handed them to her, while giving instructions in a sharp and concise manner: "This is the agreement. Take a look and see if there are any issues. If there are no changes needed, sign it. Next week, we'll go get the certificate. As for your classes, I've already talked to the school. We'll decide whether or not to go back after three months."

Because Audrey was not yet twenty, it would be some time before they could get the document. Audrey narrowed her eyes, clearly feeling that everything was happening too fast. She took the document, unable to help feeling melancholy. She hadn't even finished university yet, but she was going to have a child with the man in front of her.

She opened the document and couldn't help but gasp in shock. The man had added a lot of perks to the original document, including real estate that she would receive if she give birth safely, and all the care she would receive during pregnancy. There were many such clauses, filling up an entire page. Another was that Kent promised to pay her once again and when Audrey saw the number of digits, her eyeballs widened like a baseball.

6 zeroes!!

He promised to pay her $5,000,000.

It was such a huge amount that Audrey could only dream about.

Audrey bit the corner of her lips. No matter how you looked at the items in the regulations, it seemed that she was taking advantage of them. Audrey subconsciously touched her lower abdomen. Although she was conflicted in her heart, she still had important things to deal with.

She simply squinted her eyes and signed her name on the agreement. Kent's eyes dimmed without a trace, he took the things from Audrey, and nodded slightly. A proper smile curled up on the corner of his lips.

Kent turned around and left the room. He still had a lot of things to deal with, so he asked her to take a good rest. Audrey was spread out on the bed, feeling a little dazed.

This is completely different from the life she had planned out a few months back when her parents and little sister was still alive.

Audrey closed her eyes ready to sleep, however , she heard someone knocking at the door.

"Drink a glass of water before going to sleep, it's better for your body."

It was Kent who had just left, his voice was as indifferent as ever, without any emotion. He stretched out his hand and handed over the cup in his hand, which contained the anti-fetal medicine that Aunt Stella had prepared for Audrey just now.

Audrey thanked her in a low voice, and obediently drank the water in front of him.

Kent reached out to take the cup handed over by the girl, said good night, and turned around to leave.

After he was gone, Audrey closed the door and sat by the bed, she squinted her eyes for a few minutes before falling into a deep sleep.

When she woke up the next day, it was almost noon. She thought that after what happened yesterday, she would suffer from insomnia to some extent. Who knew that she fell asleep unexpectedly soundly.

Audrey narrowed her eyes and turned to look out the window. The light inside the room is a little dark, even if the curtains were drawn, you can still feel the sunlight from inside. She simply got up and went straight out of the room.

When Aunt Stella saw Audrey coming down, she immediately prepared to help her.

"Miss Audrey, are you hungry now? The young master went out for a meeting and said he would be back in the afternoon." As Aunt Stella continued speaking, she assisted Audrey in settling herself comfortably on the sofa before proceeding to serve the delicious porridge she had prepared earlier that morning.

Audrey waved her hand, she felt a little uncomfortable, she paused, and then continued: "Aunt Stella, where is the bathroom?"

“I'll take you there."

When they arrived at the bathroom, everything was unexpectedly complete. It looked like it had been carefully prepared. Aunt Stella returned to the dining while Audrey brushed her teeth and washed her face in the bathroom.

She have to say that if she hadn't arrived yesterday, Audrey would have thought that she had lived here for a long time. Everything is basically according to her taste and preference. When she returned to the living room, there was a large piece of breakfast spread on the table that was just empty a few minutes ago.

Aunt Stella stood aside and helped Audrey to sit down. Then she put the porridge in front of Audrey "Miss Audrey is so thin, it's important for her health that she eats a bit more."

Audrey nodded indiscriminately, and took a while to speak: "Aunt Stella, next time you don't need to be indulgent or spoil me so excessively. I can just have a little porridge in the morning. Too much is a waste."

Aunt Stella was just about to refuse. After all, in her opinion, it is better for a pregnant woman to eat more, however , She heard Miss Audrey softly say: "If Aunt Stella cooks so much next time, then...then I won't eat."

It's an obvious threat, but it has no deterrent effect. Audrey naturally has a solution for this kind of old woman who is over half a century old. As cunning as a cat that has succeeded.

Aunt Stella couldn't hold back, she smiled lightly, and just as she was about to say something, she saw Mr kent who was standing not far away, squinting his cold eyes slightly. Suddenly everywhere turned pin drop silent.

Audrey drank the porridge one mouthful at a time and When She couldn't hear Aunt Stella's words, she thought her threat had scared the old woman into silence so she turned her head and met a pair of deep eyes.

The spoon Audrey was holding, slipped and fell unto the ground.

"Huh? What don't you want to eat?" Kent's cold eyes narrowed, revealing no emotions. Then he stretched forth his hand and pulled out the chair opposite Audrey before sitting down.

Seeing him, Audrey's heart skipped a beat.

Shit! When did he come back?

Audrey didn't speak so Aunt Stella spoke on her behalf: "Miss says she can't eat so much food and it will go to waste,"

Kent raised an eyebrow and said, "You're too thin, what if you starve the child?"

As he spoke, he served Audrey another bowl of porridge. After taking a brief look at the table, he instructed Aunt Stella, "Prepare fewer breakfast in the future. She really can't finish so much."

Aunt Stella agreed and, seeing the young master's concern for Miss, felt comforted. To avoid disturbing the two of them, Aunt Stella silently left, giving them some space.

Kent's slender fingers scrolled through his phone as he sat in his chair with his eyes downcast, but even so, his imposing presence couldn't be ignored, making Audrey feel uncomfortable. After taking a few bites, she stood up to clean up the dishes and prepare to leave.

Kent frowned and asked her, "What are you doing?"

Audrey was startled by Kent's sudden voice and paused before answering, "Cleaning up..."

"You don't need to do that.You have just one job to do, that is to eat, stay healthy, carry the child and give birth to it safely" Kent interrupted Audrey's words directly.

"More like sit down, eat and fatten up until your unrecognizable." Audrey spoke inside of her. Then she sat in her seat and didn't say anything. She was nervous, she had only Mr. Kent a few times before and suddenly having to live together with him made her feel uncomfortable.

Tentatively, she spoke up, "I'll go back to my room first." After speaking, she stood up directly and left without knowing how to feel about the situation.

Audrey felt a gaze on her back, but it disappeared once she closed the bedroom door. She sat on her bed in deep thoughts.

She was very nervous and uncomfortable that she didn't notice Mr. Kent's wife absence. She hasn't been home since Audrey moved in. Well, she would ask aunt stella later.
