I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Justin was the first person to know about Meredith’s pregnancy.

Meredith considered Justin as family, and at that moment, she didn’t know who else to tell, so she confided in Justin.

Justin’s expression froze, his hand under the table instinctively gripping the ring box tightly. He was completely stunned, looking at Meredith’s belly, he asked, “Pregnant? Whose child is that? When did you start dating? Why haven’t I heard about this before?”

“I don’t have a boyfriend…” Meredith hesitated before saying, “No matter who the baby’s father is, Justin, I went to the hospital today for a check-up, and you are the first person to know about this. I want to keep the baby, what do you think about it?”

Justin was too shocked, he couldn’t quite accept the magnitude of this news.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

He calmly put away the ring box, stammering from surprise, “T-this is… Meredith, you want to be a single mother? Who’s the jerk? He doesn’t want to take responsibility for you, I’ll go find him and make him pay.”

Thinking about Meredith being mistreated, Justin couldn’t contain his anger.

“Calm down, calm down,” Meredith reached out and held Justin’s hand, “Do not get so angry yet, nobody mistreated me, I… I mistreated someone.”

Justin: “…”

Did he hear her correctly?

Justin’s expression was utterly bewildered.

“Meredith, what do you mean?” Justin was completely dumbfounded.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Meredith nervously touched the back of her neck, avoiding Justin’s gaze, “I, I got drunk, you know I have a low tolerance for alcohol, it was an accident, it’s in the past now. We should focus on the baby, Justin, we grew up together in the orphanage, I consider you family, that’s why I’m sharing this news with you. I want to keep the baby.”

Family?

She just considered him family.

Even though Justin wasn’t holding out hope, hearing those words still made him feel a bit desolate.

He suddenly felt a twinge of relief, grateful that he hadn’t confessed earlier; otherwise, they might not even be able to be friends.

Without saying anything else, Justin got up and went to the kitchen to grab a bottle of beer, opening it and taking a big gulp.

Meredith didn’t stop him, she just sat in the chair, waiting for him to process the news.

After drinking half the bottle, Justin felt a little better, and then, in a serious tone, he asked, “Meredith, are you sure you want to keep this baby?”

Meredith replied firmly, “Yes, I’ve always resented my parents for abandoning me, I can’t bear to abandon the baby.”

Justin understood, they were both orphans, they could understand the feeling of being abandoned.

After a moment of silence, Justin made a significant decision, “Alright, keep the baby, I’ll be your child’s godfather.”

Feeling touched, Meredith said, “Justin, that’s just so kind of you.”

Suppressing his own thoughts and bitterness, Justin forced a smile, “Meredith, we grew up together, as long as you need me, I’ll always be here, no matter what decision you make, I’ll support you.”

Since she didn’t want to talk about the baby’s father, he wouldn’t ask.

Meredith poured a glass of juice, gratefully saying, “To the godfather of my baby, thank you.”

She had expected Justin to scold her or look down on her, but he chose to unconditionally support her.

It was actually so good to have such a friend in her life.

Yet she didn’t know that for Justin, just being by her side was enough.

With Justin’s support, Meredith felt more courageous, and she was no longer wavering.

That night, she meticulously planned out the road ahead in her mind, considering how to raise the baby, how to go on in the future, how to balance work, she had to consider everything.

The next day, Meredith changed into flat shoes and went to work as usual.

She arrived at the office on time, and as she stepped into the elevator, she checked her watch, luckily she wasn’t late.

Just as the elevator doors were closing, they suddenly opened again, and Meredith looked up to see Terrence Sterling entering the elevator, their eyes meeting.

Feeling guilty, like a thief getting caught, Meredith immediately lowered her head.

Wasn’t she just a thief? She stole Terrence Sterling’s seed, and now Terrence Sterling’s seed was sprouting in her belly.

The thought of Terrence Sterling being the baby’s father brought a strange feeling to Meredith’s heart, as if… her heart had softened.

Terrence Sterling noticed her reaction, this wasn’t the first time he had seen her look like that.

This woman, why was she so afraid of him?
