Chapter 26 Can You Stay?
Seeing that Walter almost finished eating, I said, “You don’t have to spend too much time on me. For
now, I will not ask you for a divorce, and I will do my best to take care of… my baby. As for Grandma,
now that she doesn’t want me to show up at the old house, unless Ashley comes after me, I’m not
gonna mess with her. I won’t do anything to her at least until she delivers the baby.”
Walter put down the fork and looked at me calmly without much. emotion. It seemed that he listened
and noticed my words. He nodded lukewarmly and said nothing.
After the meal, he sent me back to Water Villa. I was supposed to go to the office, but I didn’t sleep last
night. I figured that even if I went to the office, I wouldn’t be able to focus or work at all. So, I planned
on taking a nice shower and going to sleep.
When I came out of the bathroom, I saw Walter, who was supposed to leave. He was in the chair,
looking at his tablet. It seemed that he was dealing with the company’s affairs. I couldn’t help frowning.
His work was so busy. Shouldn’t he be headed to the company now?
He probably heard me, so he looked up at me. Our eyes met. Although I was wearing pajamas, I still
felt a bit uncomfortable. I tiled my face, lowered my head, and wiped my hair.
Shortly after, the towel in my hand was grabbed away. In the next second, he pinned me down to the
chair, stood next to me, and wiped my hair skillfully.
I tried to dodge, but he held me down. “Don’t move.”
I just couldn’t face his intimacy.

I stood up to get away from him, ignored his astonishment, and said calmly, “Aren’t you going to the
Hinton Group today?”
He pursed his lips, looked at me, and said in a deep voice, “You don’t want to see me?”
I said truthfully, “No. If possible, I would like you to come to Water Villa as few times as possible. Ashley
needs you more than I do.”
He was expressionless when he was looking at me. After a long time, he said, “You’re so generous.”
He was obviously being sarcastic.
I was so beat that I didn’t want to argue with him. I went to get myself a hair dryer to blow my hair, and
it seemed that Roy called him. It should be something about work. He picked up the phone and walked
out of the bedroom in a hurry.
After he left, everything went quiet. I blow-dried my hair and went to bed early.
In the middle of the night, I was woken by the thunder. The autumn rain in River City came suddenly,
and with the sound of thunder, it became more and more chilling. I forgot to close the window before
going to bed, and the cold wind blew into the bedroom, which made me shiver.
I got out of bed and closed the window, and as I was about to lie down, the bedroom door opened,
giving me a shock. I would have screamed if I hadn’t seen that it was Walter.
“What is it?” When he saw me standing barefoot by the bed and looking at him in surprise, he
approached me.
I shook my head and lay back in bed. I was gonna ask him why he was still here instead of taking care
of Ashley at the old house, but on second thought, I didn’t.

He changed into his pajamas and lay down on my side with his long. arm around my waist. At some
point, his big palm covered my belly. I sensed that something was wrong, frowned, and tried to move
his hand.

He grabbed my hand and said, “Is it a boy or a girl? What do you think?”
Was it a boy or a girl?
I couldn’t answer the question. I said, “We’ll find out.” The answer could only be revealed after Ashley
gave birth.
He nodded and didn’t move his hand away. I had a feeling that he was somehow looking forward to my
baby and couldn’t help but say, “You like kids?”
He looked at me with a gentleness that did not match his own. “This is our first kid.”
Somehow, my heart throbbed. Those feelings I had been trying so hard to suppress suddenly surged
out uncontrollably.
In the next second, however, the phone on the nightstand vibrated. It was Walter’s phone.
He picked it up. Someone on the other end of the line said something, and he responded gently. Then
he was about to get out of bed.
Of course, it was Ashley.
Seeing him getting out of bed, for some reason, I suddenly grabbed him
He paused and looked back. “What’s wrong?”
“Can you stay?” I admitted that I was gambling by asking him to stay.

He looked at me and smiled. It seemed that he was in a good mood.
“OK.”
I was stunned by his decisiveness and failed to react at once.
Seeing me in a daze, he pulled the covers over me, picked up the phone, and was about to send a
message. Yet before the message was sent out, suddenly, the thunder outside the window began one
after another, and in an instant, the rain began to pour down.
In the next second, Walter’s phone rang. I subconsciously looked over. Not surprisingly, it was Ashley.
