After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 182 - 178 Late Night Chat

As soon as Carlos spoke, Maria, who was just throwing a tantrum, underwent a 180° attitude change.

Her eyes sparkled instantly, and the corners of her mouth lifted into a triumphant smile.

Like an agile koala, she clung to her brother’s arm, the movement so deft it was amusing.

"Sister-in-law, my brother agreed! You have to be my witness."

Maria shook Carlos’s arm while turning to look at Emily Parker sitting beside them, her eyes full of joy. freewёbnoνel.com

"Bro, I want a song from Skysound Studio."

Her voice was clear with a hint of coquettishness.

Emily Parker, already feeling drowsy, was yawning, and her slightly parted mouth widened upon hearing Maria’s words, with a fleeting look of panic in her eyes.

She never expected the topic to suddenly shift to Skysound Studio.

Fortunately, Carlos and Maria’s attention was entirely captured by Skysound Studio at this moment, and no one noticed Emily’s unusual reaction.

"Skysound Studio."

Carlos frowned slightly, casting a curious look at his sister, his eyes full of inquiry.

He pondered to himself, suspecting this was the real reason his sister had been lingering in the villa.

"Bro, I remember your study has a lot of Skysound Studio songs too. I also love Skysound Studio."

Maria blinked her big watery eyes, a radiant smile on her face.

"Why don’t you buy me a song? I’ve found out it only costs five million."

In her heart, as long as her brother took charge, nothing was impossible.

Thinking of soon owning a Skysound Studio song, her eyes curved into crescents, as if she could already see herself on stage, confidently singing a Skysound Studio song.

"All that little brain of yours is focused on your brother."

Carlos tapped his sister’s forehead, maintaining a stern look, but his tone was full of indulgence.

"But just having money may not be enough to get a Skysound Studio song. Their works are always in demand, and the queue of people booking them is endless.

I’ll promise you for now and try my best."

Carlos shook his head helplessly, but his mind had already started planning how to fulfill his sister’s wish.

Night fell, and the entire villa was enveloped in silence.

In the study, Carlos lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

He was used to having Emily Parker by his side; her steady breathing was like a gentle lullaby that allowed him to sleep peacefully.

At this moment, sleeping alone in the study felt particularly vast and unfamiliar.

As he tossed and turned, he suddenly heard faint footsteps outside, lighter than a cat’s, as if afraid to disturb anything.

He sat up slightly and through the slightly ajar study door, saw Emily Parker quietly coming out of the room, in loose pajamas and with her hair casually draped over her shoulders, her figure outlined in the moonlight.

It seemed he wasn’t the only one who couldn’t sleep.

Carlos didn’t disturb her and picked up his phone to send a message.

Emily was about to open her laptop, thinking of writing a song at the last minute.

After all, seeing Maria’s longing and persistence for Skysound Studio’s songs, she didn’t want to disappoint her.

The phone screen suddenly lit up, exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

She picked up her phone and saw a message from Old Master.

Time: Ah, getting old, can’t sleep in the middle of the night.

Seeing this message, Emily frowned slightly, full of concern, her fingers quickly tapping a reply on the screen.

Blue Sky: Grandpa, I’ll get you some calming medicine tomorrow.

Soon, she received a reply from her grandpa.

Time: No need, I fall asleep listening to a few Skysound tracks.

Seeing "Skysound," Emily paused slightly, her fingers stopping momentarily before she replied.

Blue Sky: Grandpa, you also like Skysound Studio’s works?

Emily pondered, surprised to find her grandpa, like Maria, was also fond of Skysound Studio.

Shortly after, the phone screen lit up again.

Time: I didn’t sleep well in those years abroad. Later, I found Skysound Studio’s songs helpful for sleep, so I started listening.

As the two chatted, Carlos inadvertently discovered that Emily was quite familiar with Skysound Studio’s works, almost to the extent of knowing them all by heart.

This filled him with curiosity; the two chatted for quite a while, and Carlos watched the phone screen.

Before he knew it, their chat had lasted until midnight, a good half hour passing by.

Carlos’s phone screen remained quiet, with no reply from Emily.

A sense of unease gradually rose within him, and his brow furrowed, suddenly recalling the last time Emily became dizzy due to low blood sugar.

"Could this woman have low blood sugar again?"

He muttered to himself, worry consuming his thoughts.

He couldn’t stay lying down any longer, quickly got up, and without bothering to put on his coat, hurried downstairs.

As he reached the corner of the stairs, he saw a warm light spilling from the kitchen, appearing exceptionally inviting in the stillness of the night.

He walked softly towards the kitchen, seeing a figure bent over an old laptop.

He quietly approached Emily from behind, watching her serene profile, his worry slightly alleviated.

He bent down slightly, passing his hands around Emily’s waist and back, easily lifting her up.

Emily shifted slightly in his arms, seeming to sense the familiar presence even in her sleep, resting obediently against his shoulder.

At that moment, Carlos’s gaze inadvertently fell on the laptop.

Curiosity surged within him—what was Emily doing awake at this hour?

He turned his head slightly, his gaze locking onto the glowing screen, wanting to see what Emily was busy with.
