Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife
Chapter 45

Chapter 45

However, Letitia shook her head in firm refusal. “I’m a woman, and honestly, I have no business eating that.”

Elgin was so frustrated he felt like smashing the plate; there was no way he was going to eat it.

He decided to take matters into his own hands, picked up the piece with his fork, and held it to Letitia’s mouth, “Open up.”

Her lips clamped shut even tighter. But then, she caught a whiff of that dish.

It was indescribable, a really foul smell, thick with a fishy odor.

That smell churned her stomach, and a wave of intense nausea surged through her.

Just as Elgin was about to force it into her mouth, Letitia suddenly stood up. Clutching her mouth, she didn’t even make

it to the restroom and bent over a trash can, starting to heave.

The sound echoed throughout the entire dining room.

Elgin frowned at her, asking. Why do you always throw up?”

Letitia was retching so violently that tears streamed down her face; leaving her no chance to answer him.

Once the wave of nausea subsided a bit and she stood up, just one glance at the food sent her back into dry heave mode.

Elgin, sitting back with his legs crossed, watched her coolly, kindly passing her a glass of water.

After rinsing her mouth, Letitia felt a little better and looked for an excuse, “I… I just don’t really like this kind of food.”

Afraid Elgin might suspect something, she quickly added, “Really, I’ve always had a light palate since I was a kid.”

Elgin turned to the butler, “Did you hear that? She can’t stand the smell, get rid of it, and tell my grandpa to stop sending. it.”

“Yes.”

Elgin had also lost his appetite. He set down his fork and left.

Letitia cleaned her mouth and followed. If she was late, she’d miss her ride and would have to walk to work.

As soon as they left, the spy that Hawley had planted among the servants immediately went to report back.

At the Ramirez Mansion, Hawley held the phone.

“What? You’re telling me Letitia was retching this morning?”

“Yes, sir, saw it with my own eyes.”

“Is it the first time, or has it happened often?”

The servant replied, “From the conversation, it seems that Mrs. Ramirez has retched several times recently.”

“That’s odd… Hawley mused, “Only pregnant women have morning sickness like that.”

“Sir, do you think Mrs. Ramirez could be… pregnant?”

“It’s possible!” Hawley slapped his thigh, his eyes lighting up with joy, “My chance to have a great-grandchild might be coming soon! Alright, alright, I need to rush Elgin to take her for a check-up at the hospital!”

Phedra, listening nearby, couldn’t help but say, “They’ve only been married for a short time, it can’t be that quick, Hawley” “Elgin is young and full of vigor, why can’t it happen quickly?”

Phedra was shut down and couldn’t say anything more, but she thought it was impossible.

Although the soup had been stopped now, she had been sending it every day before, and Elgin did have some.

Her medicine was not without effect, it was meant to ensure Elgin… would be infertile.

So Phedra didn’t believe for a second that Letitia could be pregnant. But Hawley, in high spirits, v

Elgin

In the CEO’s office.

“Pregnant?” Elgin frowned deeply, “Grandpa, I think you’re just too eager for a grandchild.”

He hadn’t even touched Letitia, so how could she get pregnant?

already calling

“Elgin, you have to trust my judgment. Hawley replied, “It was the same with your mother when she was pregnant with you, and your grandmother too, exactly the same.”

“It was the food you sent that caused it”

“Just take her to get checked out at the hospital, and everything will be clear, right?”

Elgin refused, “I’m busy. His time was precious, with people lining up just to see him.

Hawley was adamant. “You can have Ranen take her, either way, this check needs to be done so I can rest easy!”

“Well then.” Elgin agreed absentmindedly and hung up.

He looked at his computer, preparing for work, but his mind went blank for a moment.

Letitia pregnant? That would be a tall tale.

If she really was pregnant, there could be only one explanation – she had cheated on him.

Elgin picked up his phone, “Ranen.

“Here, Mr. Ramirez”

“Make a trip to the hospital, the blood Letitia had drawn before hasn’t been used up, take it to the OB GYN…” Elgin gave Instructions, “Get me the blood test results by tonight”

“Understood, Mr. Ramirez.”

Letitia was completely unaware. She went about her day, sketching design drafts, and even at lunch in the company. cafeteria, Vidonia joked about her recent increase in appetite.

Well, she had a baby to feed now.

After work, Elgin stepped out of his office, and Ranen approached, “Mr. Ramirez, the test results from the hospital are in, for your review.”

He glanced at the sealed envelope and took it, “Keep your mouth shut, no leaks.”

Ranen bowed his head, “You can count on me, Mr. Ramirez.”

He had been Elgin’s trusted confidant for many years.

Elgin opened the envelope once he was in the car. A thin sheet of paper with the results clearly written in one column- “Pregnant, 5 weeks.”

At that moment, Elgin couldn’t believe his eyes. Letitia was actually pregnant! She had betrayed him!

Just then, the car door opened, and Letitia got in. She had run over, afraid that Elgin would get angry if she was late, so she was a bit out of breath.

As soon as she got in the car, she felt his intense gaze.

Letitia’s heart skipped a beat, “What’s what’s wrong?”

Seeing the paper in his hand, che couldn’t make out the words from a distance.

Elgin threw the paper at her face, “Letitia, you’ve got some nerve!”

She was stunned for a moment, then picked it up and saw- “Pregnancy Test Result.”

Chapter

Letitia felt like she’d been struck by lightning: her whole body went stiff, her limbs turned icy cold, and her blood ran

backward

The secret she had tightly guarded, kept concealed so carefully… Elgin had unearthed it!

Elgin was always an imposing figure with a powerful aura, and now he was filled with rage.

His eyes were stormy with turmoil!

Letitia wanted to say something, but she just couldn’t find the words…

“Do you have a death wish?” Elgin’s hand gripped her throat and yanked her forward, “I’ll grant it to you!”

She bit her lower lip, “… …”

Now that he found out the truth, any more talk is just pointless

With his other hand, Elgin grabbed her purse

Letitia gasped, “Don’t!”

But, she was a step too late. Elgin yanked her purse open, turned it upside down, and all its contents spilled out onto the seat. Her pregnancy-preserving meds, all laid bare under Elgin’s eyes.

“You’ve known you were pregnant all along, popping pills, keeping it secret from everyone.” Elgin’s temples throbbed with veins popping, “No wonder you’re so keen on getting a divorce, eager to go back to the loony bin, just so you can give birth in secret!”
