The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1190

"..."

Karen sensed what Jeffrey was trying to say, but it just sounded so wrong.

Like something a jerk would say.

"Believe me, I have no idea how this happened!"

In reality, Karen was just feeling overwhelmed and a bit queasy, and she wasn't really blaming Jeffrey for anything. After all, if he truly had a change of heart about wanting another baby, she wasn't totally against discussing it.

Her in-laws were wonderful, and taking care of their child wasn't solely her responsibility. Jeffrey... well, he was always doting on their kid, a truly dedicated dad.

Another child wasn't out of the question.

But...

It was just so sudden!

Karen wasn't mentally prepared in the slightest.

"Honey..." Jeffrey tried to get closer again.

She waved him off, "Just... give me space, will you? Stop bugging me."

"I get what's bugging you, but don't you think it's a bit premature? Nothing's certain yet! How about I drive us to the clinic to get checked out? That way, you can save your worrying until we know for sure. Otherwise, with the way you are, you'll be up all night fretting."

Suddenly, Karen covered her face with her hands, letting out a groan.

"What if it turns out I am pregnant? What then?"

The last time, it happened so unexpectedly, without any mental preparation on her part.

It couldn't happen like that again, right? Without giving her any time to adjust.

"If you're pregnant, then we'll do whatever you decide! If you want the baby, we'll have it. If not, then not," Jeffrey had learned by now that his input in these matters was minimal at best.

It was all up to her; he just had to follow suit to avoid any missteps.

"And here I am, asking for your opinion, and you're telling me to decide? That's as good as not asking at all!"

Jeffrey grimaced, feeling like he couldn't do anything right at this moment.

Jeffrey was on the verge of tears, hurrying after her, ignoring the stinging slap mark on his face.

"Honey, so what do you want? You want to keep it? I'm all for it, I really am!"

"Too late! You've made your choice! And now I don't want it anymore!"

"..."

Karen moved ahead, then turned back to him, "Well? Aren't you coming?"

Jeffrey touched his face, "Where to?"

"Weren't you the one who suggested going to the clinic to see if I'm pregnant?"

He really wanted to shout to the heavens—

Women are just too hard to understand!

Oh Lord, he was doing his best!
