Seeing Queenie being more approachable, Winona handed her a piece of fruit and said, "Mom, I'll find a solution. Don't stress yourself out, or Jaxon will scold me."
Queenie took the fruit from Winona and felt her anger dissipate. "All right, get the Salvatore Group under control soon. It's good for you and everyone else."
Facing the pressure from the Lindstrom family and Mikayla's threats...
Winona had been pondering the issue on her way back to her newlywed mansion. She was completely unaware of Jaxon's grim expression next to her.
They changed into slippers when they arrived home.
Jaxon suddenly turned around, nearly causing Winona to bump into him.
"What's wrong, Jaxon?" she asked.
With a stern expression, Jaxon turned and looked at Winona. "That day, when Mikayla found us at the mansion, did you deliberately arrange it?"
Winona's heart skipped a beat when Jaxon brought up the incident.
"Jaxon, what are you talking about?" She stood in place, clutching her clothes, trying to remain composed.
"That day, you insisted on taking me to the mansion that Mikayla and I are going to use after marriage. Was it on purpose?" Jaxon had suspected it before, but he didn't believe it.
Winona smiled. Her clear eyes showed no sign of deceit. "Jaxon, how could you say that? Since you said you were going to marry Mikayla, I haven't harbored any hopes of being with you."
Looking at her delicate face from a short distance away, Jaxon finally looked away after a while.
"Okay." Jaxon circled the coffee table and sat on the couch. Indeed, Winona had shown him the receipts from the hospital last time and said she would go for an abortion.
Winona approached him, sat on his lap, and coquettishly wrapped her arms around his neck. "Jaxon, are you feeling too much pressure lately?"
Jaxon pinched his eyebrow and said, "Maybe."
"Don't worry, I'll help you!" She bit her lip while circling Jaxon's chest. "Jaxon..."
Jaxon frowned and pulled her hand away. "You're pregnant."
Winona cupped his face directly and kissed him on his lips.
Since they got married, Jaxon had been using her pregnancy as an excuse. Besides, he even suspected her tonight. Winona thought she had to find a way to dispel his doubts.
Pressed against his body, she nodded softly.
Jaxon instantly understood. He unzipped her coat and pounced on her.
As they kissed, Jaxon suddenly uttered, "Mikayla."
It was like a bucket of cold water poured directly over Winona's head.
However, Jaxon seemed to not remember that the name he called out wasn't hers.
After kissing, Jaxon went to the ensuite bathroom in his room to wash up.
Winona lay on the bed, the name Jaxon called echoing in her ears.
