Chapter 996 996: Stop Showing Off



She looked away. Roy's tall figure was in the cars. She touched her underbelly. Yes, she was looking forward to her child now.

Their child, actually, would be born soon.

Because at the moment, just now, she strongly felt that Roy would be a good father. 

"What a coincidence!" A familiar voice came.

It was light and lonely.

Cassie felt shocked, and she just turned around. 

Fredrick's eyes met with hers.

Startled, her heart even stopped beating.

"Yes." After a long while, Cassie found her voice. It was also light.

Fredrick looked at her and said, "One of my colleagues gave birth to a child today, so I'm just here to have a look."

Cassie answered lightly.

"You..." Fredrick looked at her from top to toe with a question and asked, "Do you have any issues?"

Cassie licked her lips, "No, everything is okay."

They were lovers before, but now when they met, their conversation became so uncomfortable.

It turned out to be embarrassing.

They both didn't speak.

Fredrick hesitated, not wanting to leave at that moment, while Cassie felt apprehensive about stepping away. She feared that if she did, Roy might be unable to locate her.

"Cassie, are you okay?" Silent for a while, Fredrick finally asked.

Cassie touched her underbelly subconsciously, "Everything is fine.

Fredrick noticed her action. His heart was broken suddenly.

At this moment, he saw her smiling. He felt surprised. Along her look, he found a car sliding there, stopping steadily beside the stairs.

Soon the door opened.

Roy got off.

Fredrick stared at him, keeping serious.

Cassie was a little nervous. She looked at Roy stressfully. As for why she was nervous? She might know it....Maybe she was afraid that he would misunderstand their relationship.

? ? ?, ? ? ? ? ?.

Roy walked to Cassie, smilingly, and held her shoulder, asking gently, "Are you tired?"

Cassie shook her head lightly. 

And then he looked at Fredrick. He smiled as a victor.

"I'm sorry, but my wife can't stand here for a long time since she is pregnant now."

He just said it lightly, but he could clearly see Fredrick's shocked expression. Roy felt prouder.

And then Roy just held Cassie to leave.

Fredrick still stood there. His fists became tighter because of anger and envy.

****

Cassie got in the car, and Roy helped her to tighten the safety belt. 

Cassie looked at him carefully and observed his facial changes.

"Is it tight?" He asked softly, afraid that the safety belt would make her uncomfortable.

She shook her head.

Roy looked at her and smiled, and then he started the car.

The buildings by the roadside gradually faded.

He didn't drive it at a fast speed for the sake of her situation. Cassie lowered her head to look at her fingers, and then she just raised her head to look at Roy.

He looked at the front. It seemed that he was not angry at all. 

What was he thinking of? Cassie thought.

Was he angry or indifferent? She thought.I think you should take a look at

She suddenly found that she cared about him a lot.

Care about him?

Care about Roy?

Care about this man who forced her to marry him in an unrighteous way?

Cassie felt shocked.

And just then, the phone rang.

It was Roy's.

He wore his earphones with Bluetooth function without hurry and got it through.

Cassie took a glance at the screen. It was from Shirley.

Roy controlled the steering wheel steadily with his two hands. Maybe Shirley called him to ask something about her situation. She heard Roy answering smilingly, "It's okay. Her stomach is not in a good state, so she has a greater pregnancy reaction. The doctor has made a diet list for her."

Cassie couldn't help turning around to watch him. 

The traffic light turned out to be red.

He stopped his car and turned around to watch her. And then he smiled and pinched her cheek.

And then he continued, "Okay, I see. I'm driving...I will be careful." 

After ending the conversation, Roy happily told Cassie, "Mom is going to do many things."

Cassie sighed, "I don't want her to make meals for me."

"You don't like it?" Roy couldn't understand.

Cassie shook her head lightly, "No, I'm...just embarrassed."

Roy laughed, "She is your mother-in-law. You don't need to be embarrassed. Just now, Mom said that she would help with it for some time, and you can just have a try. If you are still not accustomed to it, then invite your Mom to help with it."

Cassie was surprised. She hadn't thought that Shirley would be so.... kind.

"Mom said that it would be better if your Mom weren't involved in it. You have our child now; we should take good care of you." Roy said lightly.

Cassie couldn't help asking, "Really?"

"I wasn't cheating you."

"But..." Cassie hesitated. Shirley didn't like her. She thought.

Roy was waiting for her answer.

"Oh, it's okay. I just thought that Mom had to do a lot of things." She changed her way.

The light turned green. Roy started the car again.

He said lightly, "It's good for her to look after you so that she can have a better mood; otherwise, she will be lost in sorrow for losing Ruby."

It made sense. Cassie was a kind girl, and she just nodded.

"You...you must have been tired from work?" She asked something about him.

Roy sighed and changed his steering wheel slightly to make a turn.

"I prefer driving the plane." He sounded like a child, "Those shareholders are really troublesome. I don't know how Joseph went along with them in the past."

Cassie knew what happened in the Runestone Group. Thinking for a while, she said, "Can't we invite him back?"

"It's hard. At that time, he offered to resign. You know, now that he did that by his will, there is no alternative way. What's more, he's now involved in many cases. Those shareholders will not trust him. In this case, even if Joseph comes back to the Runestone Group, he it will be awkward and embarrassing." Roy analyzed it.

"Although I think you did it wrong, I understand you had no other way then. So, what are you planning to do next? You don't like running a company." Cassie still thought it was a wrong decision for Roy to agree with Joseph to leave the Runestone Group.

Roy knew it, actually. He said, "Now we can only wait for the stable state of the Runestone Group, and then I'll seek a professional manager. There will be no issues on shares transferring, and those shareholders will not oppose it."

Cassie nodded lightly. Things could only go in this way. 

After a great while, she spoke with a dry voice, "Then...Just now, are you still angry at Fredrick?"

Roy finally understood why she just hesitated, and he just laughed loudly, "Angry? I have a wife and a child. I'm now a victor. I couldn't be happier. Why should I be angry at him?"

Victor.

Cassie closed her lips lightly and smiled, "Stop showing off."

Roy took a glance at her and then smiled lightly.
