Accidentally Pregnant After Divorcing The Billionaire (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 425

Teresa’s heart skipped a beat. She had no idea why Jonathan was suddenly so hung up on whether she was pregnant–maybe he was just getting older Keeping her cool, she said, “I’m really not pregnant.”

Jonathan didn’t even look up from his magazine, his words dripping with meaning. “After all the work I’ve put into this company, I guess I’ll just have to pass it down to Donald’s son, or maybe Edward’s.”

Teresa asked, “So you’re not planning to get remarried?”

Jonathan raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t I tell you last time? You get married, my mom gets married, and maybe then I’ll think about it.”

“Let your mom go first. I haven’t found anyone suitable yet,” Teresa replied.

“Keep looking,” Jonathan snapped the magazine shut, his tone sour. “Take your time, and make sure you find someone better than me in every way, someone you’ll fall for so hard you can’t get back up.”

Teresa was speechless.

When they arrived in Shaville, a black Bentley pulled up to pick up Jonathan.

Teresa asked, “Where are we staying?”

“I’ve got a villa in Quietia. Had someone clean it up already,” Jonathan replied.

“How many villas do you even own?”

“Just investments,” Jonathan said, still focused on his paperwork.

Teresa asked again, “What time are we going to the business event?”

“Six thirty.”

As he was busy, Teresa didn’t press further. Her phone buzzed twice it was a message from Jennifer: [Sanford’s back in Shaville. Want me to have him help you with your

accommodation?]

Teresa replied: [Hannah, if you keep meddling in my business, I’ll just block

you

again.]

[I’m just worried about you. You’re so heartless,] Jennifer shot back.

‘Heartless? Whatever.‘ Teresa couldn’t even be bothered to get mad. If she did, she’d only hurt herself–and the baby inside her.

Before Jonathan and Teresa went in for the evening party, he offered her his arm. “You don’t have an invitation. You can’t get in without me.”

Teresa figured he was right, so she took his arm. His assistant stepped up and showed the invitation.

The staff at the door made a gesture. “Mr. and Mrs. Lynn, please come in.”

Teresa looked back, confused. “Why did he call me Mrs. Lynn? Does he think I’m your wife or something?”

Jonathan didn’t bother to explain, and Teresa didn’t press the issue.

Doing business was an art. Jonathan told Teresa to stick with him and not wander off.

Chapter 425

After a quick trip to the restroom, Teresa spotted a female CEO she’d been wanting to work with. Without telling Jonathan, she went ove chatting. By the time Jonathan walked over, they were already talking contract details.

Jonathan’s face darkened slightly, but he didn’t call her out in front of others. Even after they left, he remained quiet and simply asked. “Tired)–

Teresa shook her head and leaned back in the car, sighing. “Doing business is so hard. You told me to stick with you. But if I just stand there ne one talks to me. I have to take the initiative if I want to get anything done.”

Jonathan looked at her more seriously. “Do you know why you can’t land the big deals?”

“Why?”

“Because you’re too impatient. It’s written all over your face–‘Come talk business with me!‘ Everyone can tell you’re a rookie, including that female CEO. So, how much did you give up to close the deal?”

Teresa clenched her fist.

“Five percent?”

Jonathan couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief. “What are you, running a charity? With the little money you have, you’re giving away ten percent? What’s left for you?”

“I just wanted to make a good impression so we can work together again in the future. Plus, we’re both women.”

“I told you to stick with me, but you just disappeared. You always think you can handle things on your own. You just don’t trust me,” Jonathan said. That was what really got to him.

Honestly, Teresa really did want to pay Jonathan back quickly. After that, she planned to take a few months off for her prenatal checkups–once she hit the last trimester, she knew she wouldn’t have the energy or mood to keep working.

Teresa stiffened, standing there watching Jonathan walk into the study. She’d planned to close a few more deals before heading back to Nareigh, and she still needed to ask him about Michael’s birthday. In the end, she didn’t get either thing done.

After a while, she wandered into the kitchen and fiddled with the coffee machine. She brewed a cup of coffee for Jonathan and brought it over as a peace offering.
