Kevin looked almost like a mischievous old man. His tone shifted unpredictably—serious one moment, almost absurd the next.
The unpredictability of his words made him seem nearly unbelievable. Yet Skylar knew that, somehow, he could be trusted.
"Alright, I've said everything I came to say. You're a smart woman, so you know what you need to do next. I'll take my leave now." Kevin coughed a few times, his face paling, and then he turned and walked out of Pearlhall Residence without another word.
Skylar didn't follow him. She noticed a few black cars parked just beyond the entrance, with men in dark suits stationed by the doors. By their stance, she could tell they were trained bodyguards.
Kevin had come all the way here just to tell her this, urging her to terminate the pregnancy. Skylar rested a hand over her abdomen. As she was lost in thought, Gloria approached her.
"Did he say something crazy again? He was a bit unhinged in his youth, but it wasn't this bad. Now? I can hardly believe a word he says."
Gloria claimed she didn't believe him, yet her eyes were filled with profound worry. If what Kevin said was true, then she didn't want to lose either Skylar or Joe.
Skylar hugged Gloria gently. "Grandma, my period's a few days late. If nothing else, it does seem like I'm pregnant. So, what he said might be true.
"Grandma Viola once told me about an acquaintance she knew when she was younger. This person surpassed her in many ways, but unfortunately, he was too fixated on certain things, which made him quite obsessive. I believe the person Grandma Viola mentioned is him."
Skylar spoke with a calm tone as if discussing someone else's situation.
The serene demeanor made Gloria's eyes redden with concern. "Then you… if this child truly comes at the wrong time, you should consider terminating the pregnancy. I don't want anything to happen to you or Joe.
"I just told Joe about this. He'll be here soon after he finishes his work. Let him accompany you to the hospital in the next couple of days."

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
