Sweet Pregnant Wife: CEO Phillip's Fierce Love

Daisy took the hint and left when she saw Phillip gazing at Ann.

Phillip approached Ann step by step and forced her to look up.

He frowned and picked Ann up when he saw her pale face and weary eyes.

Ann was shocked and annoyed when Phillip suddenly picked her up and said, "What are you doing? Put me down!"

Wasn't she miserable enough?

However, no matter how hard Ann tried to get rid of Phillip, he just walked out of the company and got into the car, leaving others in shock.

He was so strong that Ann couldn't run away from him. She could do nothing but be held into the car unwillingly.

Ann could imagine how other people in the company would talk about her behind her back.

She suffered so much recently that she could hardly resist. She could just look at Phillip faintly. "What exactly do you want, Phillip?"

Phillip asked the driver to start while he put one hand on her head and said, "Ann, you need to rest."

Ann was moved but she turned her head and said, "It's none of your business. Drop me off at the next crossing." She was worried about Nikki.

Phillip gave a rare smile as he knew what Ann was thinking and said, "I've already sent someone to pick up Nikki."

Ann was shocked and thought to herself, "If Phillip sends someone to pick up the kid, how would other people think about us?!"

Phillip squinted at Ann with a cold face when he realized that she was somewhat angry.

"What do you want? Get back to Karl?"

Phillip's words calmed Ann down. She was really angry just now, but she was confused, not knowing what to do.

He was right. It was thanks to Karl that she could still hang in there. Karl did a great job in taking care of her and Nikki. He gave her a lot of support and trust. She really tried hard to fall in love with him, to live with him, and to catch the light in the darkness.

However, what happened recently really exhausted her.

Ann was really weak when she was quiet.

Phillip frowned slightly and sat with Ann quietly instead of disturbing her when he saw that she looked down and seemed to have something in her mind.

He wanted to give her a chance to figure it out. Then Ann picked Nikki up and thanked Phillip with a distant look. She turned down his request to stay with her. Ann gently held Nikki in her arm. The two of them cuddled up with each other.

Phillip stood behind them with an unprecedentedly soft look.

At this moment, he just hoped that Ann could think it through...

It had been a week since Karl fell out with the Moore Group.

Ann never saw Karl ever since.

During this period of time, apart from working, Ann was always thinking whether Karl was the right person for her.

She always thought that love was too much to ask for her ever since she agreed to that deal five years ago. However, Karl somewhat changed her life.

He took care of her meticulously and helped her come out of the sadness patiently...

She was touched and grateful when he told her how he felt about her. He was even ready to be Nikki's stepfather.

Ann was really trying to start a new life together with him.

However, her past meant that she could not live a quiet life with him as she thought.

Karl was a man, so it was impossible for him not to care about her past.

He could keep back his anger from time to time, but he couldn't do that forever. His outburst was inevitable.

Phillip looked away from the PowerPoint and stared at Ann who was sitting in the corner, staring into space.

His deep eyes narrowed slightly and he tapped on the table with his long fingers. He concluded the meeting with a cold and stern tone as usual.

"That will be all for the meeting. I want to see a better plan before tomorrow!"

People in the meeting room left one after another except Ann who didn't realize that the meeting was over.

Something sounded.

When Ann was awakened by the sound of his fingers snapping, she could only saw Phillip leaning against the conference table. She had no idea when other people left. "Have you thought it through?"

Ann looked up when she heard Phillip talking. However, she was stunned when she saw the side of his face.

The man had a perfect chin and a high nose. He looked less stern in the light and became gentler.

Perhaps it was because of Phillip's rare gentleness, or it was because she kept that sadness to herself for too long.

Ann looked down and wanted to let everything out.

"Five years ago, it was the darkest moment of my life..."

Phillip's eyes darkened slightly when Ann started to say what happened 5 years ago. He turned his head and saw the sunlight falling on her forehead. It was like a halo from an angel.

"I thought I was destined to live in the darkness... Karl was the one who had been there for me. He trusted me, brought me out of my tragedy, and led me to light. It was since then that I wanted to start over." Phillip pursed his lips, and his hands on the table unconsciously clasped.

"That's why you kept putting up with what he did and refused to give up."

Phillip understood that it was like finding something to warm up in a world of ice and snow, and nobody would easily give up on that warmth.

Phillip remembered that strong and warm girl.

She was his warmth, too.

Phillip unconsciously touched her face with his long fingers. His eyes darkened slightly, and his look changed as his mouth twisted in self-mockery. "People can be fickle. Unreliable men like him will never be your light."

Actually, he also wanted to know if Karl became more important in her mind than the little boy who used to stay with her before.

However, he was unable to say it out loud...

After so many years, not only did he fail to find her as he promised, he was also forced to hurt her.

What was worse, he couldn't even meet her as who he was...

Phillip's face was cold, like ice, like iron. He could do nothing but clench his hands under the table.

However, Ann was surprised by his endurance and restraint.

She confusedly stared at Phillip who was stern but he also seemed to be restrained and obstinate.

Ann could see that guy from him.

It was a beautiful and handsome face that was different from Phillip's. That face was young, indifferent, and arrogant, but also restrained and obstinate.

It suddenly came to Ann's mind that Phillip might be the little boy in her memory.

She remembered that in the news shared by Daisy, it was said that Phillip was the illegitimate son of the Moores'.

In other words, he might had been sent back to the Moore's long after.

Ann shook her head and her mouth twisted in sadness. How could he be that little boy?

Her little boy could definitely recognize her.0000
