Time is Silent, But True Love WillChapter 1

Three months after the divorce, I found out I was pregnant.

During a meeting with my new boss, I suddenly felt nauseous and threw up bile. As I turned my head, I caught a glimpse of my ex-husband's intense gaze.

I made a quick decision to sell my house and resign from my job, then left town overnight. But my escape plan hit a snag at the airport. "Why the rush? Come on, spill the beans. What's the reason this time for running off?"

.....

The new boss arrived and called for an emergency meeting. Sitting in the conference room, I could hear whispers around me, but my mind was elsewhere.

I didn't care much about the new boss; my focus was on the child growing inside me.

It had been three months since I left Jaxton Munoz, and now I discovered I was pregnant.

I silently cursed him in my mind, "That jerk!"

However, suddenly, the room erupted in applause and gasps.

I looked up and was stunned.

Standing on the stage was a handsome and imposing man—Jaxton?

I thought, "How could a man like him end up in a small place like Olivano?"

I blinked in disbelief, wondering if I was hallucinating.

Our eyes met briefly.

Then, he casually looked away, his gaze cold.

I thought to myself, "Why am I nervous?

I'm just someone he doesn't like, especially since we've been divorced for three months.

But it's been a while, and this guy seems even more handsome now!

More dashing than before."

Feeling a mix of emotions, I absentmindedly placed my hand on my stomach. Jessica Armitage, seated next to me, nudged me with wide eyes, indicating that something was off.

Then I realized that the atmosphere was wrong and everyone's eyes were on me.

Roger Dent cleared his throat, saying, "Ms. Dempsey, Mr. Munoz would like to hear your thoughts on the company's future prospects."

I was speechless.

Jaxton was still staring at me intently.

His eyes were captivating, giving off a sense of deep affection as if they held a vast universe with countless stars inside.

In his magnetic voice, Jaxton remarked, "Ms. Dempsey. Daydreaming during a meeting isn't a good habit."

A wave of nausea hit me, prompting me to cover my mouth and rush towards the restroom hurriedly.

After vomiting everything, including bile, I felt dizzy as I walked out.

I thought to myself, "This baby inside me is going to be a handful!"
