Chapter 15 " W - Why ?! " Summer asked after her split - second stump . " Why else ? " " But … " She huffed with indignation . " You two have been married for two years . Two whole years ! Does he not have a sliver of feelings for you ? Besides , he's the father of your child , for goodness ' sake ! As a husband and a father , does he not feel any pity for you ? " Victoria fell silent . If she still held some kind of fantasy toward Alaric before sending the text , then it was now dead for good . What was that popular saying online again ? Oh , right … Your child is yours only when he loves you , and when he doesn't - forget about your child- even you are nothing . Meanwhile, Summer was still rambling , " Even without your two - year Chapter 15 I'm Certain Mr. Cadogan Cares About You marriage , you two still grew up together . Does he not share the childhood sentiment either ? Are you sure you made it clear to him , Vic ? Why don't I- " " Summer , " Victoria interjected calmly . " Say no more . " Any more words , and she would only feel even more humiliated . One time was enough . What did multiple times count as ? Begging ? If so , she would rather leave it . After ending Summer's call , Victoria washed up and energized herself for work . She drove to the company that day , and the first thing she did after arriving at her desk was to check her work . After making sure everything was okay , she finally pulled her phone out and booked an appointment . Since she had decided to drop the child , she would have to get it done soon , As the time slots for this week were all taken up , she could only pick a time BUT , TO J Chapter 15 I'm Certain Mr. Cadogan Cares About You next week , but when it came to confirming her booking , Victoria suddenly could not help stopping her fingers . There seemed to be a voice asking her , " Do you truly want to lose the baby ? Can you bear to do it ? " Then , another voice debated , " So what ? Are you going to be their father since the baby doesn't have one ? " " What will be , will be . You've just begun your first trimester . A baby has to be conceived for about nine months before it can come out . What are you so worried about ? " " Will the problem be solved just because you avoid it ? Even if you don't do it now , you still have to do it later . " " But he isn't just Alaric's child . He's yours too . Your blood runs in his veins , no ? " Chapter 15 I'm Certain Mr. Cadogan Cares About You " So what ? You don't know the pain of growing up with only a single parent . " At that moment , Victoria was practically torn as two voices argued non - stop . One told her to keep the child , while the other told her to abort it . Her head was in a total mess right then . It was then Yasmin came toward her . " Miss Victoria , this is the draft proposal for IC Corp.'s project . Please see if there's anything to be amended . " Victoria locked her phone right away and placed it on her desk . Her speedy action stumped Yasmin a little , but since she was a subordinate and should not be asking about her higher - up's private Chapter 15 I'm Certain Mr. Cadogan Cares About You matters , she could only suppress her curiosity and hand the proposal to Victoria . Seeing that Yasmin remained standing on the spot after she took the file , she asked , " Yes ? Anything else ? " At that , Yasmin took a gander at her and asked softly , " You're doing okay now , aren't you , Miss Victoria ? You scared me to death when you passed out a couple of days ago ." Speaking of that , Victoria wondered . " Were you the one who called him over that day ? " " Yeah ." Yasmin nodded . " I couldn't wake you up no matter how , so I went to Mr. Cadogan . " No wonder I woke up in his car . " Miss Victoria , you have no idea how worried Mr. Cadogan was when I told Chapter 15 I'm Certain Mr. Cadogan Cares About You him you might've passed out that day ." Victoria was unsure what Yasmin wanted by telling her that . Is she trying to butter up to me ? Thus , she chose her words wisely . " Is that so ? How nervous are we talking about ? " Yasmin bashfully smiled while answering , " Well , I've never seen Mr. Cadogan so nervous and worried apart from that day in all my years in the company . Many executives were reporting work to him at the time , but as soon as he heard you'd passed out , he left them aside and ran here to carry you into the car . " With that , she blinked at Victoria . " I'm certain Mr. Cadogan cares about you . " " You think so ? " Victoria gazed at her and blurted , " Did you not see another woman by his side ? " Chapter 15 m Certain Mr. Cadogan Cares About You That was all it took to drench Yasmin's burning passion for shipping office . romance . She stood awkwardly on the spot for a long while , unsure of what to say to ease the atmosphere . Due to Alaric's attitude , she had forgotten about the woman next to him . However , Yasmin did not make much of it at the time , but now that Victoria had pointed it out , it was indeed somewhat amiss . It was because … that woman hung out in the CEO's office , and some hearsay had been spreading in the office because of her . Seeing that the young woman stood blankly on her spot , Victoria rubbed her dull , aching temples and dismissed her softly . " Go on , get back to work . " " Oh , okay . " After Yasmin left , Victoria picked her phone back up and confirmed her booking . There's nothing to hold on to , really , she thought . Chapter 15 I'm Certain Mr. Cadogan Cares About You At noon , Noel texted her , inviting her to join him for lunch . As Victoria's mind was still in a mess , she wanted to turn him down , but at the thought that he had sorted out her work for her , she agreed to it . When it was lunchtime , she went downstairs and waited for him in the lobby . He said he would drive her there , and she did not oppose it . While waiting for him , she checked her work schedule for the afternoon on her phone when the people in front began gossiping . " That's Mr. Cadogan's car , isn't it ? Why would he only come in at this hour ? " At that , Victoria reflexively looked up and found the black Cayenne at first Chapter 15 mm Certam Mr Cadogan Cares About You glance . Her heart skipped a beat as she know only he would drive that car . The vehicle might not have been slow , but the window was down , and when it passed by , Victoria saw Claudia sitting in the front passenger seat . She had come to work in a light blue outfit , and her long hair was hung loosely around her shoulders . When she looked out the window , she happened to meet Victoria's eyes as the young woman stood amongst the employees . Claudia was taken aback for a second before smiling at her . Alaric , on the other hand , was focused on the road ahead , so he did not notice it . It was not until the Cayenne entered the building that the employees in front of Victoria began gossiping . " Who's that woman ? I can't believe she can sit in Mr. Cadogan's front passenger seat . I heard they stayed in the office until late last night and also left together . " Chapter 15 I'm Certain Mr. Cadogan Cares About You " I also heard this from someone else . She's the woman Mr. Cadogan fancies and has just returned to the country not long ago . " " The woman Mr. Cadogan fancies ? But isn't he and Miss Selwyn already married ? " " What are you , an idiot ? You don't genuinely think marriages between the rich are real , do you ? Everyone's saying that Mr. Cadogan and Miss Selwyn's marriage is fake . Or else , why would she still be a secretary now ? Besides , there hasn't been news of her pregnancy even until now . "
