Colton hastily supported her and asked, “It has been so many months. Why do you still
have morning sickness?”
Her shoulders were trembling.
Was she crying? He grabbed her shoulders and turned her over. “Freyja-”
There were no tears in her eyes. Colton finally realized something and pulled her hand
away. She had pressed her lips into a thin fine line.
Colton grabbed her chin and asked, “Are you laughing at me?”
She averted her gaze.
Suddenly, he landed a kiss on her lips. Freyja placed her hands on his shoulder, and her
gaze turned dazed for a moment.
Since she did not push him away or resist, Colton carried her to the bed. At this moment,
her senses returned to her, and she said, “Wait…”

Colton kissed her wrist, and his voice was coarse.
They had only had sex once after she was pregnant. It happened about six months ago
when she was in the third month of her pregnancy. At that time, she did not want to do it at
all, and he did not finish the entire course.
Her breathing was erratic as she said, “The nurse will come in.”
Colton chuckled. He collected her hair behind her ears and said, “I’ve told them not to come
in when I’m here.”
He had tried his best to be as gentle as possible. Although it was not an easy task, he was
willing to do it for the sake of the child.
After everything was over, Colton held her loosely in his arms and pressed his lips against
her forehead. His voice was soft as he said, “Let’s make up, okay?”
She opened her eyes slowly and replied exhaustingly, “Okay.”
Perhaps it was because of him, so she was willing to give him another chance.
After Frejya fell asleep, Colton received a call from Leonardo. He did not want to wake Frejya
up, so he went to the corridor to answer the call. His face was dark as he asked, “Have you
found out who spread the rumors yet?”
He did not know that the staff in his company had been discussing Freyja behind his back,
and no one had informed him when Freyja came to see him last week.
Colton went back and looked into the security footage of the lobby that day. Freyja had
been sitting in the lobby and waiting for him for two hours. She had not had her phone with
her, and no one had been there to entertain her.
All of them knew of their relationship, but when he asked why nobody told him that she was
there to see him, they all said that they thought he refused to acknowledge her.
After Freyja got pregnant, he never took her to the office. He did not even take her out
because he worried about her and the
baby’s safety.
However, he did not expect some media outlet to make up a story. He did not know when
the rumors started and became what she told him.
The rumors even spread to the company, and the staff had been discussing it for a long
time.
“I followed the vine to the person who started the rumor. She’s a middle–aged woman who
loves to play roulette and gamble. She has no relationship whatsoever with Ms. Pruitt. She
doesn’t know Ms. Pruitt either. She said she likes to gossip with her friends when they’re

felt that Ms. Pruitt had her own agenda for marrying you.”
Colton’s expression was dark. “How would something that was discussed in a casino get to
the media?”
If it really was just a discussion between women, how would the media know about it? Could
it be that someone from the media was playing roulette at that time?
They would make a story out of a child with a mental illness, not to mention a pregnant
woman.
Leonardo knew what he was talking about, so he said, “But the rumors have been spread so
widely that it’s impossible to trace them now.”
A hint of coldness crossed Colton’s eyes as he said, “It’s not that difficult. We’ll start with
the person who started the rumors first.”
In the evening, Daisie, the shooting crew, and a few leading actors were having dinner in a
restaurant as they prepared for the shooting commencement ceremony.
All of them clinked their glasses, and everyone had red wine in their glasses except for
Daisie, who had fruit tea in her cup instead.
