It wasn’t an expensive one. On the contrary, it was quite economical, and I didn’t remember seeing him

owning a watch that cheap.

He looked at me in surprise and arched his eyebrow. “You gave me this watch, remember?”

Well, that was confusing, then I noticed the bouquet of flowers in the backseat, much to my surprise.

“Why’d you put that in the car?”

He smiled at me. “This is for you. You’d say it’s too conspicuous, so I didn’t take it out. Honestly, aren’t

you the one who bought this watch?”

I shook my head. “I didn’t buy anything for you lately, and this is a cheap watch too. It doesn’t suit you.”

He took off the watch and tried to throw it away, but I stopped him. Then, I took it to have a closer look. It

was a niche European luxury watch, though a casual one. It didn’t fit Ashton’s air at all.

I tilted my head and arched my eyebrow. “Seems like another vixen is closing in, Mr. Fuller.”

He smiled. “Sounds like someone’s jealous.”

I shrugged. “You’re a lady magnet, so no surprise there, but this one’s interesting. She gave you a watch

using my name, though it’s a cheap one. Seems like this girl’s a smart one.”

He arched his eyebrow too. “What do you mean?”

“I mean, you look like you eat caviar for breakfast, so everyone’s just going to give whatever’s expensive

to you, but she didn’t. My guess? She makes four to five grand a month, so she’s probably working for

you.”

He nodded. “Please continue.”

The watch looked like it was around three grand though. So the lady spent most of her pay on this,

huh? “Mind if I ask you something? Why would you think I was the one who gave you this? Who told you

anything of that sort?” I could just give him a present anytime I want. There was no need for the middle

person, and we weren’t really that romantic, so such gesture seldom happened.

“It was already on my desk when I was done with my meeting. The writing looked like yours, so I thought

you were the one who gave me the watch.” He frowned pensively.

I arched my eyebrow again. “So it’s your employee alright. How bold is that.” She pulled that stunt

despite knowing that he was a married man. If that wasn’t bold, I didn’t know what was.

I wore the watch around his wrist again, but he dodged me. “What are you doing?”

I smiled. “Don’t let the lady down. She must have mustered a lot of courage to give you this.”

He pursed his lips. “Are you jealous?”

I shook my head. “Not exactly. You didn’t even fall for Rachel, let alone any other woman. I have faith in

you. And we have a lot to deal with, so I won’t really care about something like this.”

He took the watch and tossed it into the trash can without even looking at it. To top it off, he didn’t even

miss a beat in his driving. “Nice skills, Mr. Fuller.”

He smiled. “Thank you, Mrs. Fuller.”

That was the end of it then. It wasn’t like I didn’t care, but I had more pressing matters at hand, so

arguing over something like that wasn’t worth our time.

The moment we came back to the villa and washed ourselves up, I went straight to bed. I got tired very

easily with this pregnancy.

I would have overslept the next day if Ashton didn’t wake me up. I stared into space for quite a while.

Then, Ashton came out from the changing room. “Earth to Scarlett. Get changed. The officers are going

to take Jared to the hospital for the test. We’ll have to be there too.”

“Okay.” I nodded, but I lay in the bed, exhausted. “I wasn’t this sleepy in my previous pregnancy though.

And I didn’t retch this time? Why is that, it feels odd?”

He sat down beside me and handed a bottle of pill to me. “Maybe the baby doesn’t want to tire you out

this time, so it’s sitting quietly in there. Maybe it’s a girl.”

I leaned my head on his shoulder and frowned at the bottle of pills he was holding. “Why are you taking

these pills so frequently anyway? What’s so good about them?”

I shook the bottle. “It improves the quality of my sperm.”

Goddammit, this pervert! I rolled my eyes before going off to bathe. Then, I had breakfast and changed.

He was on the phone in the living room when I was done. I went up to him and patted his shoulder. “Let’s

go. I’m done.”

He looked at me, but instead of taking me with him, he brought me back to the changing room and

handed a thick grey coat to me. “Wear this.”

I shook my head, frowning. “This one’s too thick. It’s not even late into the winter yet. If I wear this now, I

can’t go out for the rest of the winter.”

To my dismay, he hung up and wore it over me without giving me a chance to protest. “Lots of people are

down with a cold in winter, and more so for you, because you’re not in the best of health. You have to

take care of yourself.”
