Chapter 848: Was She Just Lying to Him?

"Summer Shawcross, just say it if you’ve got something to say!"

"It’s nothing, I just wanted you to keep me company..." Summer Shawcross pouted, and said helplessly.

If he stayed this busy from now on, once the baby was born, wouldn’t he have no time to spend with the child.

Even though the little life in her belly was only about a month old, she already couldn’t help starting to plan for the future.

As soon as she finished speaking, Noah Drexler’s heart gave a jolt.

A moment later, a doting smile finally appeared on his face.

"So that’s what it is?"

She had no idea how adorable she was when she said she wanted him to keep her company!

Summer nodded.

Seeing this, the man couldn’t help but raise his hand and pull her into his arms.

Right now, he could clearly feel how much she relied on him, and a hint of joy swept across his handsome face.

"Okay, I’ll go home early today and keep you company." He pressed his lips together and suddenly promised her, with a trace of guilt in his heart.

There had been a lot going on at the company recently, and he really had been neglecting her!

He had never imagined that being relied on by her...could be such a pleasurable thing.

As his words fell, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, then finally let go of her waist, lifted his hand to glance at the time on his watch, and then softly said to her again.

"I’m going to a meeting first. You stay here and be good and wait for me."

Hearing that, Summer instinctively nodded. The man lowered his head and brushed another kiss against her lips before turning around.

He had just walked to the office door, and as Noah Drexler was about to open it and leave, behind him...her sigh suddenly sounded, catching him completely off guard.

"I wonder, do pregnant women need people around them more?" Summer watched his departing figure, feeling a bit lost inside.

She had come over intending to tell him this news the very first chance she got.

But who would have thought that he was this busy, that he didn’t even have time to chat with her a little longer.

As her voice fell, the man’s footsteps stopped abruptly.

His tall figure was caught off guard and...just froze there at the door.

The hand holding the door handle suddenly trembled.

The office instantly became incomparably quiet.

Noah Drexler’s body stayed rigid for a long time before he slowly turned his head; his cold eyes fell on the woman behind him, locking tightly onto her.

She just said...pregnant woman?

On that handsome face was an expression of utter shock.

Seeing his tall figure frozen there like that, a smile appeared on Summer’s face. She curled her lips, a little smug, and said.

"Aren’t you going to your meeting?"

Wasn’t he supposed to be really busy, rushing from one meeting to another every day? So why had he stopped now.

The smile on Summer’s face made Noah Drexler’s expression shift. He furrowed his brows tightly, stared at her current look for a long moment, and a trace of disappointment flashed across his handsome face.

She had just...lied to him?

The next second, his handsome features suddenly turned stern.

"Summer Shawcross, don’t you ever joke about something like that again!" He knitted his brows, pressed his thin lips together, and spoke to her in a serious tone.

Because in that instant just now, he had really believed...he was about to become a father...

Before this, he’d once thought that he didn’t like children, didn’t like those troublesome little lives...
