I understood his perspective. Fuller Corporation had developed so well in J City and had also finally stabilized its operations in K City. There was no turning back now, so he could only keep expanding his territories.
“You haven’t had much rest lately.” I felt sorry for Ashton.
The festive season could be very tiring. When he finally had a day of rest, he had to accompany me to travel back and fro between two hospitals in the morning and then rushed to the office to handle some business matters in the afternoon. That man was like a spinning top, constantly working.
Feeling smug, he muttered, “I see that someone is missing her man already. Ahem… Should I cancel the appointment later?”
I rolled my eyes at him. “Stop being so full of yourself. Who misses you? Don’t use me as an excuse if you plan to idle at home instead of working.”
“Hahaha…” Ashton chuckled. I followed suit, but with my face turned the other side, looking out the window.
The sky in K City was typically murky as if it was enveloped with a permanent layer of fog. It gave people an overwhelming dejected feeling.
Professor Zidd said that it would take three months to confirm the possibility of my pregnancy. I couldn’t tell if that’s good or bad news. Anyhow, the treatment process had already commenced.
People always say that the days are long but the years are short. Summer has grown up without us knowing. How long can three months be?
Once these ninety days pass me by and I could still get pregnant, what should my pursuits be?
I was in a daze all the way home.
Since Ashton insisted to walk me to the door, I dragged him inside of the house too.
We could already hear Summer’s voice before entering.
“Xavier, I’ve got lots of allowance. Shall I buy you some candies?”
