Addicted After Marriage: Marrying My Abstinent Boss-Chapter 201: She’s Pregnant

After staying up all night, Zane Sterling booked another suite next door.

He lay exhausted on the sofa, picked up his phone with one hand, and sent a reply to Sophia Lowell.

"Why are you here?" Zane Sterling suddenly remembered Ethan Sinclair.

Ethan was wearing flip-flops, shorts, and a T-shirt, his effortlessly stylish hair flattened down.

There was no trace of the usual young master style.

Zane Sterling hadn’t planned to call Ethan — there were still many things waiting for him in the country; moreover, he kept Ethan in the country to take care of Sophia Lowell and to watch out for Faye Ellison, that peacock.

But unexpectedly, Ethan, this brat, went off to take care of his own love life, while Faye Ellison, the thirty-year-old virgin, hovered around Sophia Lowell every day.

Even a band-aid isn’t as sticky as he is.

Miles Lockwood’s team of bodyguards abroad is quite efficient; they’re there the moment he calls.

That’s why he hadn’t thought of bringing Ethan along.

Miles Lockwood was quick to call Ethan first.

Miles Lockwood had no clue about such matters but felt Ethan might have a good way to handle them.

Ethan sat down in the sofa opposite him.

"Heard you’ve been embroiled again, came to check on you."

Again?

Zane Sterling’s face darkened; the expression seemed to swallow people whole.

"Thanks, you can leave now." Zane Sterling kept staring at his phone.

Ethan chuckled mockingly, "I came all this way to support you, and this is the attitude I get?"

Since he stopped being an assistant, he didn’t bother to pretend around Zane Sterling anymore. He was ready to give this man a piece of his mind, considering how much he usually gets bashed by him.

Zane Sterling said nothing; his head hurt terribly. Though exhausted, sleep wouldn’t come.

The stubble on his chin had grown visibly longer, and his unkempt hair from two days without care made him look even more worn out.

"I’ve arranged for them to investigate Tim Sawyer’s movements over the past month, but that waitress from that night seems to be in a bad situation," Ethan squinted, saying," She was notorious for coming from the slums around here, took some money to give to her family, and then disappeared; she’s likely gone."

"I told you things aren’t that coincidental, huh, scheming against me — they’re truly reckless!"

The unresolved matters feared nothing but spreading rumors with ill intent, growing darker by the day.

Zane Sterling paused and asked, "Should we tell her?"

He’d been torn up about it all night.

Sophia Lowell would find out sooner or later.

He couldn’t wait for a month, until there’s a result with Tim Sawyer’s pregnancy, to decide.

If this was Tim Sawyer’s scheme, then this news certainly couldn’t be kept under wraps.

She would surely find a way to get this news back.

And then hurt Sophia Lowell, prompting her to propose a divorce.

No, absolutely not!

Ethan pondered over these words.

This was indeed a problem.

Better for him to say it than for someone else to leak it.

Who knows if Tim Sawyer told anyone about this yesterday, or if she’s left some backup plan.

Zane Sterling thought she must have some backup.

But if he were to say, how would he phrase it?

Say he went into the wrong room and ended up sleeping with his ex-girlfriend?

Before he could decide how to say it, Sophia Lowell had already learned of the matter.

And at this moment, Sophia Lowell was already lying on the hospital bed.

She was getting an IV, while Faye Ellison frowned beside her, not looking pleased.

Of all times, why now!

He didn’t know what kind of mood he was in.

Outside the door, Hugh Irving was on the phone, and his expression didn’t look much better.

Zane Sterling received a phone call from Hugh Irving, who immediately gave him a tongue-lashing, each profanity unique.

Never in his life did Zane Sterling think he’d be scolded like this; it was a first.

He stayed silent and immediately booked the earliest flight back.

Before leaving, Zane Sterling reminded Ethan.

"Don’t let her die!"

"Hey, weren’t you just complaining about me being in the way? What do I count as now?" Ethan felt aggrieved, just moments ago this man was blaming him.

"You’re just unlucky!"

"..."

Sophia Lowell was pregnant.

The timing was about a month.

If it weren’t for overhearing Corinne Chapman and Eve Reid whispering about discussions on foreign forums in the studio, she wouldn’t have known.

#Sterling Group’s CEO drunkenly reunites with his ex-girlfriend#

This news was deleted within an hour after being released, yet someone still managed to screenshot and spread it.

Couldn’t trace it to the source.

Sophia Lowell saw this news and was utterly bewildered, feeling cold sweat in her palms, and after staggering, she fainted.

Faye Ellison drove her to the hospital.

Faye Ellison thought she may have gotten overly emotional, not realizing she was pregnant.

Weren’t their relationship just average?

How did she become pregnant?

Wasn’t it just Zane Sterling unrequitedly interested in her?

Not long ago Sophia Lowell was avoiding her relationship with Zane Sterling, afraid others might find out about it; initially, he assumed it was just a simple affair.

Later he discovered they accidentally slept together and rushed to get the marriage certificate.

No wonder Sophia Lowell was so reluctant to go public; probably it was lacking affection, constrained by the impact of their one-night stand.

But Faye Ellison didn’t mind much, maybe trying to win her over.

Unexpectedly, Zane Sterling moved fast.

Got her pregnant.

He stood beside the hospital bed, observing the sleeping woman.

He wondered what dream she was having as she frowned in her sleep, her pale lips moved as if trying to speak.

Faye Ellison couldn’t resist stretching his hand to smooth her frown.

"Faye Ellison!" Hugh Irving suddenly walked in, seeing his hand suspended in mid-air.

Faye Ellison got jolted back, his hand that was about to touch her refrained.

He awkwardly stood up, retreating to one side.

The creases between Hugh Irving’s brows were even more pronounced.

That damned man couldn’t keep things tranquil abroad, and now it’s a mess, with the men around Sophia Lowell being restless too.

Were these two the ones who messed with Cupid in a past life?

Why is their journey together so fraught?

There are constantly disturbances around, truly worrying everyone.

"Sophia needs peace to recover; I’ll take care of things here. I heard Teacher Hale is back, why don’t you..." Hugh Irving tried to contain the anger boiling inside; at this point, she felt like yelling at anyone!

If he doesn’t leave, he’ll be the next one to be yelled at!

Faye Ellison was naturally unwilling, though Tim Sawyer didn’t heed him and went to extremes, messing things up to what they are now. But it was indeed a good opportunity.

How could he leave?

"I’ll leave when she wakes up." Faye Ellison said.

Hugh Irving had no clue how to chase him away.

Sophia Lowell had barely nurtured feelings with Zane Sterling, and now this happened. It’s not just Sophia Lowell — Hugh Irving had already mentally shredded that dog of a man with a fifty-meter knife.

Now with Faye Ellison here still daring to make such moves — he’s looking for an execution warrant.

Sophia Lowell never liked him, Hugh Irving always knew.

This issue dated back to when they were exchange students.

During that time, Faye Ellison got close to a girl at the school, who later was rumored to be pregnant. When the girl was persuaded to leave school, someone witnessed Faye Ellison meeting her secretly.

Young Sophia Lowell had a slight interest in Faye Ellison, but after this incident went around, causing quite a stir in school,

Sophia Lowell had drawn a line between them.

Their relationship remained confined to Teacher Hale and Professor Carter, nothing beyond that.
