The President's Pregnant, Ex-Wife-Chapter 483 – Time to return the favor
Chapter 483: Chapter 483 – Time to return the favor
Giselle was on her way to get emergency contraception, before remembering that she hadn’t informed her boss that she was going out for a while.
The pharmacy was about fifteen minutes away, so she predicted spending a little more than thirty minutes, which wouldn’t go unnoticed. As such, she returned to inform Robert before leaving her office.
"I’m going to..." Giselle paused, afraid of lying to him but also could not tell him the truth. "Get lunch."
Robert, already knowing what she wanted to go and get, replied saying, "Don’t worry about that. Mark promised to send the delivery guy."
Giselle bit her lower lip, instantly thinking about another excuse to give. She forced a smile.
"Good. Then let me get a painkiller for my headache at the pharmacy."
Robert was disheartened that she didn’t want to open up to him, but how could he blame her?
What happened between them wasn’t something she should be proud of, especially when she couldn’t remember his identity.
Even he had no idea how it all happened, but he wanted her to know that she wasn’t alone.
"Giselle, there are a lot of first aid kits around. What is the problem?" His voice was so soft, Giselle found herself falling for him again, whereas guilt was equally welling up in her heart.
"Can I just take thirty minutes, please? There is something I urgently need to do," she said in a pleading tone, but Robert didn’t want her to use those contraceptives. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
If they both created something beautiful, then it should be the rope that binds them together.
"Look, forget I’m your boss. Tell me what the problem is."
Giselle’s gaze lowered. How could she tell him? He might begin to see her differently. There was no way she could tell him and was greatly pained because she still could not get over him.
"I’m sorry. I can’t."
Dismay flashed in Robert’s eyes, but the girl was already saddened. Subduing his desire to stop her from going to the pharmacy, he said,
"It’s alright. Please take as much time as you want."
Giselle forced a smile. "Thank you." What happened was already a mistake, so how could she carry the child of an unknown man? Giselle did not want any surprises.
A few minutes after Giselle left, Robin called and he didn’t sound happy because of the burden of the news on his heart.
"Robert, Peter found the deleted videos," Robin announced.
Peter sent them to him, but because Robert was the culprit, he only told Sabrina that they had been deleted, knowing that she would not be able to hide it from Aria if she knew the truth.
When Robert was sick years back, Larry and Lambert had an infection and couldn’t donate their kidney. Joy was also too young and those were the only matches among blood relations.
When they continued the search, Aria and her husband volunteered. Her husband was a match but wasn’t medically fit to donate his kidney. They checked the kids. Both Gershon and Giselle were matches, but Giselle insisted on being the one to donate hers.
Robin felt that they owed the family so much for saving Robert’s life and was upset that Robert had slept with Giselle and paid someone to delete the evidence.
"Dad, it’s not what you think." Robert’s teeth ground together. He hated that his father thought he was irresponsible.
"You better correct your mistakes or I’ll send them to Aria. It will be up to her if she decides to tell Giselle about it or not."
Robert let out a frustrated sigh on his side of the line. How could he have known that his father would find out after tasking Jasmine to erase everything?
"Dad, please leave this to me. I will handle it."
Robin was still upset. This wasn’t the way to pay back the family that gave Robert life. "What were you thinking? Why drink so much?" He never knew Robert to drink like that before and could not comprehend the damage.
However, Robert could not take it any longer. He wasn’t as irresponsible as his father was perceiving.
He was just afraid of wounding Giselle’s heart. "Dad, if not for all your secrets, I would have pursued her. I don’t know what she would think about it when she finds out, but please allow me to handle it my way."
Robin was calm upon the revelation that Robert had feelings for Giselle. "If you love her, then do the right thing." His voice softened instantly.
"I will do the right thing, but please do me a favor and let me handle it my way," Robert said, Robin was glad but wanted him to hasten things, thereby giving an ultimatum.
"You have one month. Not more."
"That is enough for me," Robert smiled and said.
As Robert was speaking, there was a call coming through from Jasmine, so he quickly ended the call with his father.
"Jasmine, what is the matter?"
"Robert, it’s time for you to return the favor," Jasmine said desperately, Robert could not guess her request.
"What is the problem?"
"Rex called. He asked to see me," Jasmine said bitterly, Robert’s grip on the phone tightened. Rex is Jasmine’s ex-boyfriend.
"What does he want?"
"I don’t know, but I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend. Among all my cousins, you are the only one he hasn’t met," Jasmine explained her intentions, but Robert feared that she was still in love with Rex.
For what other reason could she not move on after that breakup? "Have you told Aunty Lizzy and Uncle Daniel about this?" Robert asked, knowing that Lizzy and Daniel would never encourage her to see Rex again.
"No. I want to listen to him first, but I don’t want him to think that I’ve been single since he left me."
The sorrow in Jasmine’s tone broke Robert’s resolve, and he agreed. "Alright, so when is this date you are talking about?"
"Lunch time tomorrow."
"Okay. I will pick you up from the office."
"That will be perfect." Jasmine was both excited and nervous as she ended the call.
The next day when during lunch time, Robert picked her up, and they went to meet her ex. Reaching there, Rex was also not alone, Jasmine was confused.
