Accidentally Pregnant After Divorcing The Billionaire (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 448

Chapter 448

Just as he finished speaking, the assistant knocked on the office door. “Mr. Lynn, there’s a Ms. Shelton outside who says she’s your girlfriend, She waiting to see you.”

Edward was baffled. ‘Didn’t Jonathan just say his girlfriend was out of town? So why was she here now?‘ he thought.

Jonathan let Winnie in. Winnie had thought she’d find Jonathan alone, but when she saw someone else in the room, her smile faded a little.

This was Edward’s first time meeting Jonathan’s girlfriend. He thought to himself, ‘She’s not as pretty of as fit as Jonathan’s ex.

“Jonathan, who’s this?” Winnie noticed Edward checking her out, so she gave him a once–over, too.

“My cousin, Edward,” Jonathan said politely.

Edward raised a hand. “Hey, I’m Edward.”

Winnie just nodded, looking a bit confused, “How come you’re not the brother I saw at your place last time?”

“That was my other cousin,” Jonathan replied.

“What’s the difference? We’re the only little brothers he’s got,” Edward said with a chuckle before dropping the pleasantries. Leaning closer to Jonathan, his voice turned conspiratorial. “She’s meeting the family already? So this is marriage serious?”

Jonathan shot him a look. “Keep your distance.”

“I’m just asking.” Edward shrugged.

Winnie smiled, “Edward, could you give us a minute? I want to talk to Jonathan alone.”

Edward shivered dramatically, rubbing his arms. “I’m not your cousin, you know.”

Winnie’s face stiffened, but Edward was already out the door.

After finishing up his work, Jonathan finally sat down across from Winnie. He was dressed in a crisp suit, his features sharp and handsome. Winnie couldn’t help sneaking a few extra glances at him before taking a sip,of her coffee.

“Jonathan, since we’re already together, when are you going to sign the deal with Chase Group?”

Jonathan took a sip of coffee and set his cup down. “I’ll think about it for a few more years.”

“A few years? You’ve got to be kidding me.” Winnie blurted out, shocked.

Jonathan raised an eyebrow. “Business is about profit. With the way Chase Group is doing right now, I really need to think it over.”

Winnie bristled a little. “Chase Group’s been around forever. If Horizonlead Group works with us, you’re the one getting the better deal.”

“Your family’s business is already on the decline. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have rushed back from overseas, right?” Jonathan replied calmly.

A flash of anger flickered in Winnie’s eyes, but she kept her sweet smile. She stood up and walked over to him. “Jonathar you help my family out? We’re all on the same side, aren’t we?”

‘re my boyfriend now. Can’t

Before Winnie’s shoulder massage, Jonathan stood up first. He remembered how, back in Shaville, Teresa used to massage his shoulders–he couldn’t get enough of it then. But when it came to Winnie, he just wanted to avoid it.

“As for the partnership, I need to consider the board’s opinion. I hope you understand.” He nodded, gestured for her to leave, and called his secretary to

show her out.

Chapter 448

Winnie stormed out, fuming with resentment.

That night, all the major financial news outlets scrambled to cover the story about Jonathan and Winnie, throwing around words like (business afflance] and [wedding just around the corner.]

Teresa was resting in her hotel room in Jade River City when she saw the news. She’d just noticed that Jonathan had called her earlier. She thought about calling him back to ask what was going on, but in the end, she let it go.

“Mom, Mom!” Michael came running over, clutching the remote. “I just saw Mr. Lime on the news! Is Mr. Lime really getting married?”

“He probably gets tired being by himself, too. Having a gentle, caring woman to look after him isn’t such a bad thing, is it?” With that, Teresa headed into the bathroom.

Michael felt absolutely miserable. He sat alone on the sofa, wiping away his tears. This news hurt even more than a breakup–though honestly, he didn’t even know what a breakup felt like.

But on TV, whenever men and women broke up, they always cried. So maybe this was what heartbreak felt like. And then, thinking that Mr. Lime might have kids soon, Michael felt even worse, quietly dabbing at his eyes.

Teresa scanned the empty restroom for Michael before splashing water on her face. Her reflection showed slightly reddened eyes, though her bare face looked healthier than days ago. She dried off, the towel wiping away both water and lingering stress.

[Horizonlead Group. Arranged marriage. Wedding approaching] The words echoed in her mind. Teresa remembered someone once saying love only had two paths–marriage or death. With the first path closed, her love had already flatlined.

Winnie was in Nareigh when she got Jonathan’s call, pretending not to know a thing. “What news? I have no idea. Who leaked it?”
