Chapter 1150 Luke Knew Sean's Pregnancy
Luke's brain was buzzing with confusion at this moment.
He was just passing by, not expecting to hear such shocking news.
'This is fake, right?
'It must be fake.
'Sean... How can she be pregnant?
'Even if she is pregnant, whose baby is she carrying?
'Another man's, or...'
Luke felt very uncomfortable as if something was stuck in his throat.
At that moment, another voice came from the big office, not belonging to the one who had just said Sean was pregnant.
But again, both were shocked.
"Seriously, is Sean really pregnant?"
"How is this possible? Are you lying to us?"
The third person asked.
And all this happened to be what Luke wanted to know the most right now.
Subconsciously, he held his breath, stepped lightly toward the doorway of the big office, stopped at the wall next to the doorway, and then lowered his head to listen in silence.
He needed to know if Sean was really pregnant or not and whose child she was carrying.
Luke's eyes narrowed, flashing menacingly.
In the big office, several secretaries and assistants stopped their work. They sat together like in a meeting, forming a circle, seemingly just to gossip about Sean. Seeing her coworkers' eager faces, the one sitting in the center smiled in satisfaction, "I'm not lying. I'm 80 percent sure that Sean is pregnant, and I have evidence." '80 percent?'
Luke's face changed slightly.
'It's such a high certainty, so Sean is really...'
"What evidence? Quickly say it. Don't keep us guessing."
"Yeah, we can't wait. Don't keep us in suspense. How on earth do you know Sean is pregnant?"
"Come on, tell us."
Being urged, this secretary didn't want to annoy her colleagues. She lowered her hand, signaling them to be quiet before saying slowly, "In fact, I knew about it not long ago. Well, I should say I was sure of it not long ago. You all know Sean sometimes runs to the restroom to vomit during work hours, right?"
"Yes, we were wondering if she had some serious illness, but Sean said she wasn't sick and that she just had an upset stomach, so we didn't think much about it, but now that I think about it, it seems to be proof that she's pregnant."
"That makes sense."
This secretary laughed, "You guys never thought that she was pregnant because none of you are married or have children. You didn't know about pregnancy reaction, but I've gotten married and given birth to a child, so I suspected long ago that Sean might be pregnant. If she had only vomited once, I would probably have been fooled by Sean, thinking that she just felt unwell. However, this happened many times, so it can't be a stomach problem. Just think about it. If one has a stomach problem, will he just let himself vomit frequently or go to the doctor to treat it?"
"She must be pregnant," someone blurted out.
"That's right." This secretary patted the armrest of her chair. "Only a pregnant woman will not be worried about her health when she vomits every now and then because she knows she is just pregnant, not sick. Two days ago, when I met Sean vomiting in the restroom again, I couldn't help going up to her and asking if she was pregnant. '
"So did Sean admit it?" a couple of secretaries and assistants asked hurriedly.
Luke clenched his hands in the corner.
This secretary shook her head. "No, but Sean panicked, completely losing her usual calmness. She left after hastily giving me an excuse, so I'm pretty sure that Sean is pregnant."
"It seems true that Sean is pregnant."
"I think so. If not, why the panic?"
"But it's okay if she is pregnant. We are all adults. Having a baby is not a big deal. Why is Sean hiding it?"
"Maybe she's unmarried." Someone speculated. "After all, I have never heard of Sean getting married."
"Not to mention this, I haven't even heard that Sean has a boyfriend, so how did she get pregnant? Who is her child's father?"
The crowd looked at each other, and no one could answer this question.
Although they were Sean's coworkers and had worked with her for a long time, they didn't know much about her personal affairs.
"Could it be that ... Sean was raped, so she doesn't dare to let people know she's pregnant?" At this time, someone bit her lip and guessed with uncertainty. "Only this can explain why Sean is pregnant without a boyfriend and is unwilling to tell others about her pregnancy. After all, it's not an honorable thing to carry the child of a criminal, and as far as I know, the world is malicious toward women. They always blame female victims and curse them for others' faults. Sean may be afraid that she will suffer from other people's disdainful eyes, accusations, and insults. That's why she hides it."
"It seems possible. Now, getting pregnant before marriage is not as socially unacceptable as before. If Sean's one-night stand or boyfriend had gotten her pregnant, she would not have kept hiding it. It's norma for adults anyway. She can just admit it, and no one will laugh at her. After all, there are many people in the company sleeping around. So Sean does not admit it, very likely because she got pregnant after being raped."
The crowd sucked in a huge breath.
"If that's true, Sean is really pathetic."
The secretary who had said earlier that Sean was pregnant looked at the crowd and said, "Maybe you two are right."
The crowd looked stunned.
"Gianna, what do you mean? You know the truth?"
"No, but I think you guys possibly guessed right. You know I was on duty yesterday, and after you guys got off work, I stayed behind to clean up the office. When I was taking out the trash, I saw the abortion appointment sheet in Sean's trash can. Because of that, I'm certain that Sean is pregnant. I didn't really think much about why she wanted to abort the baby, but now that I've heard your speculation, I think it can explain her choice."
As soon as these words came out, there was a thud at the entrance of the big office before the assistants and secretaries could exclaim. They were all startled.
"Who is it?" Gianna frowned, looking at the doorway in displeasure.
Luke slowly retracted his leg that had kicked open the office door and looked up, revealing a sullen and icy face. "It's me."
"Mr. Chase?" Everyone froze and then stood up in a hurry. "What brings you here?"
"Is it true?" Luke asked through clenched teeth instead of answering the crowd's question. He walked in and came to Gianna, his hands in hard fists.
