After Rachel's declaration, Ziggy replied with a straight face, "That's not right! I should be the one to protect mommy, not the other way around!"
Rachel nodded with a smile. "That's right, my baby is protecting me!"
At the same time, a Lincoln stretch limousine slowed to a stop on the side of the road.
A side window of the limousine lowered, unveiling Nathan, as well as another man with flawless features and aloof nature, to Rachel.
Nathan was a little taken aback seeing the child in Rachel's arms. The child was face-to-face with Rachel, so he could only see his back and not his face.
Edward, meanwhile, was wholly focused on the document in his hands, not sparing any attention to anything outside.
"Mr. Chapman."
Rachel nodded and greeted simply.
Nathan nodded in response and looked at the child in Rachel's arm. "The child is..."
Rachel smiled, unafraid that she might lose the job after admitting that was her offspring.
"Oh, this is my son!"
Nathan did not manage to react.
The car window immediately went back up as the limousine began to drive away.
Nathan whipped around and looked at Edward. "Why are you driving away!"
Edward put down the document in his hands and faced Nathan with his icy gaze.
"I had a feeling that the woman was shifty when you told me the things you knew about her. As you can see, she has a son. She must want a man to share this responsibility. Taking into account her behavior and reaction in the office, it's obvious she wanted to rip you off, capiche?”
Having said all that, Edward was unsure why the female voice sounded familiar.
However, based on Nathan's description of her, Edward was fairly sure that woman was a gold-digger and an experienced one at that.
He hated this kind of woman the most.
That was why he did not look at the woman outside the car.
After the limousine left, Rachel cocked her head in bafflement.
Her hand slowly clutched at her chest as an empty feeling crept up into her heart.
'Who was that other man? Was it Mr. Chapman's friend?'
"Mommy, what's wrong? Are you unwell?"
Seeing as Rachel was suddenly clutching onto her chest, Ziggy's heart almost jumped out of his own chest.
Rachel shook her head lightly. It took a while, but the empty feeling eventually subsided.
"Don't worry, I'm okay now."
