Chapter 494: Chapter 494 – Sabrina, I have good news

"Giselle, Robert is here to see you," her mother yelled, but it was too late for her to run. Her gaze was already boring into Robert’s, her heart thumping wildly.

It had been a while since Robert came to her house, and those visits were usually on weekends when they had family gatherings.

For a weekday, it felt weird. Giselle was not comfortable with Robert’s presence because of her pregnancy, afraid of any look of disgust that might emanate from him.

"Robert, what do you want here? Are you the one who sent the flowers?"

She began to wonder if Robert was ’passion fruit’. What a coincidence that he would arrive at her house on a weekday, the same time she received those flowers from that mysterious man.

Then again, she found her thinking absurd, as she recalled that Robert was with Aaliya most of that night, so how could he have been the one?

Her cheek turned pink when she imagined it to be him. Robert was just happy to see her and almost wrapped his arms around her, but right now, they had so much to talk about before they could define their relationship.

As such, he continued to pretend. "You weren’t feeling well yesterday, so I wanted to drive you to the office. What flowers are you talking about?" He asked.

Giselle was somewhat disappointed that it wasn’t him, especially when the person who sent the flowers claimed that she knew him.

It meant that it could be anyone, and at this moment, she wished it was Robert. However, she also felt that she would be angered if it were him for putting her through so much trauma.

No, it couldn’t be Robert. She had to be more open-minded to find the person or rather, wait until over the weekend.

"You don’t have to. I’m fine," Giselle lowered her head and said, surprised when Robert’s fingers slid under her chin and he lifted it gently.

She could swear that she saw the passion in his eyes. Something she never saw before, but even if he was starting to fall for her like she was thinking, it was too late because she was pregnant with somebody else.

"But you still look pale. Your eyes are puffy." Robert’s heart sank upon seeing her sullen look. Giselle walked past him, as his closeness made her uncomfortable.

"I’m fine, trust me, I am."

Robert stared at her with longing. He had a lot planned for today. Before driving to her house, he had already cancelled his morning appointments without her knowing.

That was also her job, but he did it without telling her. The partners were surprised to hear from the President himself but didn’t have the guts to ask about his secretary.

"Then get ready and let’s go. I already had breakfast delivered to the office for you."

Giselle subconsciously locked gazes with him at the revelation. She was usually the one who ordered breakfast for him since he was quite a picky eater. "Why?"

Robert’s lips curled a little, but it was such a small smile that it almost went unnoticed. "Do you want to be late?"

Aria observed the interaction between the two, her heart aching for her daughter. It was clear that Robert’s presence was making it hard for Giselle to overcome the pain of the mistake of that drunken night.

It would be better if Giselle drove herself to the office, but going together would only make her uncomfortable.

An idea dropped in her mind, she smiled and said, "Giselle, you should hurry. Your boss is very thoughtful."

Aria wanted to call Sabrina to ask for another favor but felt that she had worried the woman too much. As she contemplated, the phone in her hand rang.

Lo and behold, it was Sabrina, and Aria’s eyes squinted. Sabrina never really called so early in the morning.

Though Aria was happy, she was still worried about the call.

***

Earlier, Sabrina received a call from Laura. "Sabrina, I have good news."

Sabrina was happy to hear the excitement in her voice, which could be compared to that of a little child.

Ever since getting married to Jacob, Laura’s face was always decorated with beautiful smiles, and she laughed a lot compared to the cold person she was when working with the agency.

"Everybody loves good news, but why do I have a feeling it’s about the twins?" Sabrina asked suspiciously. Laura chuckled.

"You are right. Larry and Lambert want to get married on the same day. Their women agreed too."

Laura and Jacob had stayed in California for some time since Larry and Lambert took over the businesses. The wedding arrangement meant that she was going to return to the villa with Jacob.

"That’s wonderful news. They are going to have a grand wedding then," Sabrina hinted since Laura was the only one to marry secretly.

Sabrina hoped that Laura wasn’t thinking about a secret wedding for her children because of her past.

"Yeah, I guess I was the only one who had a small wedding," Laura replied on the other side of the line, hinting that, things will be different for the twins.

"It’s well understood and has given you peace like a river."

Laura agreed that her decision was necessary, keeping herself and her family safe from harm. "Yeah, there is nothing like it. Jacob is such a darling, he brings me so much joy."

"Like your daughter," Sabrina smiled over the phone at the recollection of Joy. She got married recently, making Sabrina happy that her twin elder brothers were next in line.

"I have a perfect life, and I just wish my parents and siblings were a part of it." There was a slight regret in Laura’s tone. Sabrina felt terrible and encouraged her.

"No. You just have to be grateful for what you have and forget about what you didn’t have." Though Laura had retired from active service, she still took care of the security of all family members.

A couple of times, she took down some enemies who tried to attack Sabrina. "You are right. Thank you very much for always being there," Laura said over the phone. Sabrina shook her head and retorted,

"Thanks a lot for dealing with our enemies in secret. I’m surprised that none of my nephews or Joy took after you," Sabrina thought aloud.

Laura went into deep thought. She hadn’t trained any of her children in that field, almost feeling like a loser, but then again...
