The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 616

Garrett was stunned when he received the phone call.

Afraid that he might’ve heard it wrong, he clarified in a trembling voice, “Did you say that Laney’s pregnant?”

Hearing Corey’s affirmative answer, Garrett was so ecstatic that he nearly pumped his fist in the air.

He was absolutely sure that the baby was his.

He was going to be a father!

It took Garrett a long time to calm down.

Now he absolutely had to see Laney. She was pregnant—with his child, none the less. He couldn’t let her live alone in a foreign country. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

After getting the details from Corey, he flew to Europe at once.

Thanks to his subordinates’ due diligence, he soon found out where Laney was staying.

*******

Laney had racked her brains all day long but she still hadn’t come up with a solution. On the contrary, she only felt more conflicted and frustrated.

While she didn’t have the heart to abort the child, she couldn’t let the child be born into an incomplete family.

Laney was an orphan. She knew how hard it was to have no family. She never considered having a child of her own before, but now that she was pregnant, she felt the need for her child to have complete family—which meant having a father.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.

All Laney could think about was the baby. In a daze, she went to open the door.

When she saw Garrett standing outside, she was completely stunned.

Garrett had on the biggest grin and he held up a bag of tonics. “Let me in first.”

Before Laney could come to her senses and shut the door, Garrett had already squeezed past her.

He put the tonics on the table and shrugged off his coat as though he owned the place. Rubbing his hands vigorously, he whined, “It’s freezing out! Europe is nowhere near as good as home. Let’s go back. I’ll book a flight for tomorrow morning.”

Laney was speechless. Rage and fury pumped through her veins. “Why the hell are you here? And how’d you know where I was?”

Garrett was the last person Laney wanted to see right now.

Garrett clicked his tongue and made Laney sit down on the edge of the bed. “You can’t get too emotional. You’re pregnant after all. That’s why I came, by the way. It’s my child, isn’t it?”

Laney was stunned. “How did you know I’m pregnant?”

She didn’t even tell Janet that she was in Europe. In fact, she deliberately told Janet that she was going to America to throw Garrett off her trail.

And she only found out that she was pregnant yesterday. She hadn’t told a soul, yet Garrett somehow heard about it and found her here. How was this even possible?

Garrett squatted in front of her, held her hand, and said gently but firmly, “I’ll tell you everything later. Now answer me this one, were you planning to tell me that you were pregnant?”

Laney pulled her hand out of his and shrugged helplessly. “Even if I told you, what could you do? It wouldn’t have solved the problem. In fact, it’d only make things worse.”

Garrett almost laughed in exasperation. “So you were planning to solve this all by yourself? Well then, what were you going to do?”
