Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71

There were toy cars, cradles, cribs, toys, rag dolls, Lego blocks, diapers…If it wasn’t for the car being too small, Hawley would’ve hauled the whole baby store over here!

“Only got these for now,” Hawley said, “We can start decking out the kid’s room. I’ve bought things for both genders as we don’t yet know whether it’s a boy or a girl.”

Letitia was guilty as she looked at the cute little dresses and pricey toys.

If only the baby in her belly was Elgin’s… That would’ve been just perfect.

But that thought flickered through her mind for only a brief moment. Because she could feel Elgin next to her was downright scary!

Letitia sneaked a peek at his face.

Elgin had his brows knitted together. “No need, Grandpa”

The servants froze in their carry.

“How can we not need them? We’ll have to buy them sooner or later, Hawley insisted. “I’m free as a bird anyways, might as well keep busy.

He grabbed his cane and went off to supervise the setting up of the kid’s room.

Phedra didn’t follow, her eyes brimming with envy and confusion.

“It’s just having a kid, what’s the big deal?” Phedra scoffed with disdain, even giving the crib a spiteful kick, “Whether it’s a great-grandson of the Ramirez family or not is still up in the air!”

She couldn’t believe that Elgin who took the drugged soup she sent every day would be a father-to-be!

There had to be something fishy!

“Are you jealous? Elgin stepped up to her, oozing intimidation, “Phedra, in this lifetime, you and your blockhead son won’t stir up a ripple in the Ramirez family.”

“You why bring this up out of the blue?”

“Just a friendly reminder. Take good care of Grandpa and be the dutiful Mrs. Ramirez before I decide to revenge against you.”

Phedra felt a shiver down her spine at his dark gaze.

Could he have found out about the contraceptive she’d been slipping into the soup?

The thought had barely crossed her mind when she heard Elgin say, “You’re right to think so.”

Phedras heart skipped a beat. Elgin was so sharp and had already figured it out!

“Yes. Since the cat was out of the bag, Phedra dropped all pretenses; she and Elgin had always been at loggerheads anyway. “I’ve been scheming to drug you for so long, how could Letitia possibly get pregnant?”

“You think I can’t counteract your poisons? Elgin retorted.

Phedra had a lightbulb moment, “You were cured a long time ago!”

“Even if I weren’t cured, I’m not absolutely sterile, Elgin responded, “I have a low sperm count, not zero.”

Phedra clenched her teeth in frustration. Her seamless plan had come undone!

All because of Letitia! This woman must have a knack for getting pregnant, managing to do so even with Elgin’s illness!

“By the way. Elgin said with a cold smirk, “Ill repay what you did to me a thousandfold to your son!”

Phedra’s son was her soft spot. She immediately got furious and explained, “This is all me and has nothing to do with my son! Hes been overseas all this time and never meddles in Ramirez Group affairs!”

*Neither of you will escape.” Elgin was confident and arrogant in tone

Anyone else would ve bitten the dust by now under his wrath, but he’d held back for Grandpa’s sake.

Elgin turned away, and Letitia followed suit.

She was far enough not to catch the whole conversation, only picking up something about a “son”. And she was intrigued by Phedra’s
