At five months, he could already clearly feel the baby. Edward seemed so surprised that he kept rubbing her belly with his hand.
The baby was very cooperative. From time to time, she would kick his hand as if she was communicating with him.
In the quiet night…
A phone suddenly rang.
Edward's eyes moved slightly. He reluctantly lifted his hand off Jeanne's abdomen and picked up the phone. "I'll come down immediately."
Jeanne accidentally saw his phone screen.
It was not Alex's name but a person called Susan Gates.
Edward put down the phone and said, "I have to go."
"When will you be done with work?" Jeanne asked.
She, too, knew that she could not keep him, just like that time when Alex had come to take Edward away.
In fact, she did not have much to say about it.
"Once William Gates becomes the new Leader, I probably won't be so busy anymore."
