Chapter 608: Chapter 606: The New Boss

Aiden Avery had said his piece. Seeing their dazed expressions, his mischievous urge to tease them vanished completely.

He tactfully thrust the lab report into Tristan Grayson’s hands. "Uh, well, you two talk things over. Don’t get too carried away. I’m just going to... get back to work."

With that, Aiden Avery was gone with lightning speed, vanishing in the blink of an eye and even closing the door behind him. In an instant, only Tristan Grayson and Mika Summers were left in the room.

Tristan Grayson clutched the report, at a loss for words.

By now, Mika Summers had snapped out of her daze. Seeing the troubled look on Tristan’s face, she knew what he was worried about. ’It’s just that some things are out of your control,’ she thought. They had always taken precautions. The one and only time they hadn’t was because of Aria Joyce’s "special arrangement."

She didn’t know what to feel. It was a bittersweet mix of emotions. "Tristan, give me the report." As she spoke, she placed a hand on her lower abdomen. ’Should I thank Aria Joyce, or should I *thank* Aria Joyce...’

"It’s a blood test. Eighty percent chance of pregnancy! Honey, looks like we hit the jackpot again!" Tristan Grayson said, forcing a casual tone as he glanced down at the report and tried to joke.

"Mhm." Mika Summers had been staring at him the whole time he spoke, so when she heard his casual, almost flippant tone, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of hurt.

Hearing Mika Summers’s curt response, the smile on Tristan Grayson’s face faltered. After a few seconds, he snapped out of it, pulled a chair up to the hospital bed, and forced another smile. "Honey, I’ll listen to you this time. It’s your decision. Whatever you want to do, we’ll do."

’This baby... The timing was terrible, and this really shouldn’t have happened. But now that it had, there was no way she could bring herself to get rid of her child.’

’But she’d been so adamant before. It would be too embarrassing to admit now that she wanted to keep the baby.’

’Surely, any pregnant woman would want to hear her husband coax her into keeping the baby, telling her he wanted it, boy or girl. That as long as it was their child, it would be the best and most important thing in the world.’

’But she never imagined Tristan Grayson would say something like that.’

She lowered her gaze, avoiding Tristan Grayson’s eyes.

Seeing her silent and withdrawn, Tristan Grayson assumed she didn’t want the baby. He said hurriedly, "Honey, if you don’t want it, then we don’t have to keep it. Besides, just having Kiki is wonderful, too."

"Yes, you’re right. Just having Kiki *is* wonderful. So let’s not have it then," Mika Summers snapped, glaring at Tristan Grayson in fury.

"Okay, we won’t keep it. Just don’t be angry. It’s not worth making yourself sick over."

"Tristan Grayson, you’re unbelievable! You really are an asshole! A complete asshole! Would I even be pregnant if it wasn’t for you?" ’He’s so heartless,’ she thought. ’He can talk about getting rid of their child without even batting an eye.’

As Mika Summers cursed him out, Tristan Grayson felt terrible too. He reached for her hand, but she violently shook him off. "Don’t touch me!"

"Honey, I’m sorry. Please don’t be angry."

Fighting back tears, Mika Summers asked, her voice thick with grievance, "What are you sorry for?"

"I shouldn’t have been so careless. I shouldn’t have gotten you pregnant. It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t let my guard down, I wouldn’t have fallen for Aria Joyce’s trap, and you wouldn’t be pregnant. It’s all my fault," Tristan Grayson blurted out without thinking.

Hearing Tristan’s words, Mika’s anger didn’t subside. It grew even stronger.

"Yes, it’s all your fault! Everything is your fault!"

"I already said I was sorry, Honey. Please, stop being angry."

"Tristan Grayson, I never thought you could be so heartless. Get out. I don’t want to talk to you right now."

Tristan Grayson furrowed his brow. "Heartless?"

"Yes! Aren’t you? You’re willing to give up your own child. Since you don’t want it, fine! We won’t keep it. Now get out and make the arrangements."

Tristan Grayson had been operating under the assumption that Mika truly didn’t want the baby, so he heard her words and started speaking without thinking. "Even if we don’t keep it, we can’t do it right now. Usually you have to wait until..." He was only halfway through the sentence when he suddenly realized what was happening. His face lit up with joy as he looked at Mika. "Honey, does... does this mean you want us to keep the baby?"
