Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

Chapter 1149

He couldn't think straight as his head was muddled. He never expected to hear such shocking news when he walked past. It's not true, isn't it? It mustn't be true. How could Daphne… Be pregnant? Even if she is pregnant, who's child is it? Is it the child of another man, or…

The thought of it was unbearable for him.

Just then, another voice rang from inside the room. Another person started talking and was surprised to hear the news. "Is that true? Is Daphne really pregnant?"

"Yeah, how is that possible? Are you lying to us?" asked another person.

Their questions happened to be what Charles was eager to find out about. He held his breath, tiptoed over to the entrance of the office, and stopped by the wall before lowering his gaze as he paid attention to their conversation. He frowned as his gaze darkened.

Meanwhile in the office, a few of the secretaries paused their work and huddled together as if they were having a secret meeting to talk about Daphne's scandal.

The one standing in the middle saw how eager the others were and spoke proudly. "I'm not lying. I'm eighty-percent sure that Daphne is pregnant."

Eighty-percent? Charles' expression turned dark as it seemed like the probability of Daphne being pregnant was high.

"Why are you so sure about that? Tell us, quick! Stop beating around the bush."

"Yeah, we are getting impatient. Stop making us guess. How did you find out about her pregnancy?"

"That's right, spill it."

The person standing in the middle knew that the others would get impatient if she kept beating around the bush. She then signaled them to calm down before saying, "Actually, I just found out about it not long ago—no, I should say that I just confirmed my suspicions recently. Do you all know that Daphne would suddenly go to the washroom and throw up during working hours?"

"Yes, we are aware. We thought that she was ill, but she told us that she wasn't sick and was just having a bad stomach. That's why we didn't give much thought to it. But come to think of it, this could seem to prove that she is pregnant."


"Well, it seems like it."

Hearing that, this secretary suddenly smiled and said, "All of you didn't relate it to her being pregnant because all of you aren't married and haven't had children yet. This explains why you aren't aware of such symptoms during the early stages of her pregnancy. I'm married and have the experience of bearing a child, so I suspected Daphne of being pregnant earlier on. The first time I saw her being unwell, I believed that she was just unwell when she told me so, but after a while, it started to seem off as a normal person would have it treated at a hospital instead of going through the torment of vomiting every few days."

"She's definitely pregnant." Someone blurted out.

"That's right." The secretary slapped the handle of the chair. "Pregnant women who feel nauseous from time to time wouldn't be worried if they vomit every now and then since they know they aren't sick or anything; they're just pregnant. It was not until two days ago when I saw her vomiting in the washroom that I couldn't help but ask whether she was pregnant."

"Did she admit to it?" Several of them spoke at the same time.

Charles furrowed his brows and gripped onto the wall.

That secretary shook her head and answered, "She didn't, but she did look nervous and wasn't calm like she used to be during work. She simply responded to the query and left, which is why I'm sure that she's pregnant."

"From what you said, Daphne seems to really be pregnant."

"I think so too. If not, she wouldn't have been that nervous."

"What I don't understand is why she would try to hide it from everyone. Since all of us are adults, it's no big deal for her to be pregnant."

"It's probably because she became pregnant before getting married. After all, I've never heard her talking about being wedded." One of them guessed.

"I've not even heard that she has a boyfriend. How did she get pregnant then? Who is the child's father?"

All of them looked at each other, but no one was able to answer it. Although they were Daphne's colleagues, they hadn't been working together for long, so they didn't know much about her private matters.

"Could she have been… harassed? Is that why she doesn't want anyone to know that she's pregnant?" Just then, one of them bit her lips as she speculated. "This can only explain why Daphne, who is single, got pregnant and is reluctant to let anyone know about it. Getting pregnant after being harassed isn't something to be proud of, and based on my knowledge, society is malicious toward women. Even if the criminal is at fault, the victim would usually be blamed and suffer from verbal violence. Daphne's probably choosing to hide it because she's afraid she would be seen differently and be criticized."

"Sha's dafinitaly pragnant." Somaona blurtad out.

"That's right." Tha sacratary slappad tha handla of tha chair. "Pragnant woman who faal nausaous from tima to tima wouldn't ba worriad if thay vomit avary now and than sinca thay know thay aran't sick or anything; thay'ra just pragnant. It was not until two days ago whan I saw har vomiting in tha washroom that I couldn't halp but ask whathar sha was pragnant."

"Did sha admit to it?" Savaral of tham spoka at tha sama tima.

Charlas furrowad his brows and grippad onto tha wall.

That sacratary shook har haad and answarad, "Sha didn't, but sha did look narvous and wasn't calm lika sha usad to ba during work. Sha simply raspondad to tha quary and laft, which is why I'm sura that sha's pragnant."

"From what you said, Daphna saams to raally ba pragnant."

"I think so too. If not, sha wouldn't hava baan that narvous."
