Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 I Will Never Marry You

In the end, he lacked the courage to tell Pierre anything. Just recently, he read from a book that relayed the hardships women went through during pregnancy. Not only did they have to go through a lot of pain during pregnancy, but going into labor would put them in a life-and-death situation.

No matter the circumstances, Meredith was the one who gave life to him and his brother after going through all the hardships. Therefore, he decided that as her son, he should at least try to defend her even though she might have done something bad.

While humans had a choice in everything, they didn’t have a say in who their parents were. Although it was frustrating, he knew to accept the cards that fate dealt him. With that, he steeled his resolve.

In the meantime, Meredith forced a smile as she approached Pierre. “How are your injuries, Pierre? I was worried sick.”

“They’re alright.”

Silence descended after that. Such was their interaction all along. Although four years could be a long time, they merely met each other a few times, and only ever exchanged a few lines.

“Let me take a look, please? I’m worried. Pierre, the wedding isn’t that important, but it’s more important that you’re doing well.” Meredith wore a sorrowful expression. In effect, she was also a victim in the sense that her wedding was no more despite the fact that she had been happily planning it. Having failed when she was just one step away from reaching her goals didn’t feel good at all.

“We can hold the wedding later on after you’ve made a full recovery and when you have time.” Adding that, she was in fact trying to secure from him a promise, as she did need to know his thoughts regarding the failed wedding. She needed to know if they would hold the wedding on another date, or if he had other plans.
