Chapter 636
The four Uncles somehow had fallen into her trap as they fell into her line of thoughts.
Conceiving a baby would take ten months, a month of postpartum care, then another month for the body to recover. That would take one whole year! 3
Charmine's red lips shifted into a small smile as she added, "That’d take a year, which also means I won't be able to take care of the Jordan Group. I won't be able to help the company get back on its feet, I won't be able to look into checkers, scientific researches, nor architecture books. Within a year, our opponents would get so much ahead of us! How many people are going to laugh at US?
"Now that I don't have to conceive a baby and get two children, isn't this the best gift from God? Who in the world could get two free babies without enduring the pain of pregnancy?" 1
"No...nobody?" hesitated Uncle Zul.
Charmine nodded. "Exactly! This is the greatest gift from above. Perhaps God didn’t want me to go through the pain, that he doesn’t want me to recover for a year. Isn't being with Anthony the most suitable arrangement for me?
"I've decided that in the following year, I'll spend more time to learn, to look more into the checkers, and to delve deeper into research to make our country proud again!" Her voice was full of determination and confidence. 1
Uncle Pop slapped his thigh right away, agreeing, "Great! Well said! I support you! Two free kids! Make our country proud!" ■
"Exactly! Well, see you all next time, Uncles," said Charmine and hung up.
Kay stood next to her, stunned at the outcome. Was that how it worked?
Why did the four clever Uncles seem as if they were brainwashed?
Seeing that Charmine was about to step out from the lift, he followed swiftly behind. He asked, "Boss Jordan, have you thought it through? Will you be able to accept-"
"Of course-it's two free children we're talking about here! Don't be too envious of this! Don't screw up things! Also, make preparations for a full protection over Annabel. One missing hair of hers, and I'll shave off every strand of yours!"
With that, Charmine walked away.
Kay fell silent.
Two free children?
How could she say that as if it was a blessing? How was she even asking him to protect Annabel?
Also, jealous of her? Heck, he did not even want to experience all that!
However, he had to admit that Chris was indeed an adorable child, and very clever to boot! It was apparent that he was a potential child, quite similar to Boss Jordan as well.
He would be willing if he could pick up a child like that.
When Charmine reached the VIP ward on the top floor, she saw that Anthony had already packed his stuff for the discharge. When he saw her coming in, he asked, "Where did you go?"
He came in not long after she left and did not see her.
Charmine went to talk to Annabel in her worry.
Seeing Anthony dressed in his suit, Charmine could not help recalling the scene before the operation.
