Task NO.1: How To Pursue Miss CEO

Chapter 82

At that moment, Pierre’s phone rang in an untimely manner. As unhappy as he was about the interference, he paused for a while and continued his intimate moment with Selena, only to be interrupted by his ringtone a second time.

In the end, he reluctantly decided to answer the call. “Hello?” The man sounded angry, while Selena quickly took the opportunity and wrapped herself in the blanket.

“Pierre, Jamie is having a high fever now, but your dad is not at home at the moment, and there is no one else here who can tell us what to do. So, please hurry back home at once!” Helen anxiously said over the phone.

Pierre then gritted his teeth and stared at Selena, who had wrapped herself in the blanket. ‘Impeccable’ timing! My boy really knows when to ruin my business! Why did Jamie pick now to fall ill of all times? And the best part is that this has to happen when my old man is away! Well, he would’ve taken care of this issue if he had been at home, wouldn’t he?

“Alright, I heard you. I’m on my way back now.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

In fact, Helen was not in a position to make any decision since she was not Pierre’s biological mother and Jameson’s grandmother after all. Therefore, she wouldn’t want to end up making a bad call, because that responsibility was too great for her to bear. Hence, she decided to call Pierre back. In the meantime, Pierre didn’t want to weigh her down with that obligation since he understood her difficulty in dealing with the situation.

At the same time, Selena covered every inch of her body with the blanket, except her big, round eyes that were filled with horror. Deep down, she was still fearful toward having an intimate moment. Even though she was already a mother, she could only remember her painful first experience and barely anything in her second one. Thus, she considered herself a virgin mentally due to her inexperience in love-making.

Soon, Pierre stood before his closet and took some clothes out of it before he took off his pants, shocking Selena greatly as she quickly buried herself under the blanket. Amused by her reaction, Pierre couldn’t help but chuckle before he walked out the door without saying anything.

A few moments later, Selena heard nothing from her surroundings, so she slowly peeked from under the blanket, only to realize that she was alone in the room. “Where is he?” She then emerged from under the blanket and pricked her ears up to listen closely.

As she continued to hear nothing but silence, she got off the bed and suddenly heard the sound of someone starting the car engine. At that moment, she quickly approached the window and saw Pierre driving off in his car.

Perhaps something urgent has come up all of a sudden. Selena heaved a sigh of relief and grabbed her down jacket before running back to her house. At that time, Juniper was fortunately still sound asleep.

Selena returned to her own room and soaked herself in the bathtub with warm water to steady her nerves. However, even in the warm water, she still couldn’t help but feel her heart pounding rapidly when she recalled what had happened earlier.

On the other hand, Pierre arrived at the Fowler Residence, and Yoel the butler quickly approached him in an anxious manner. “Young Master Jamie has been having a fever since last midnight. We don’t know what is going on, but the doctor has already taken a look at him. Now that he has taken some paracetamol, he seems to be feeling much better,” Yoel said while following behind Pierre.

“What did the doctor say?” Pierre asked as he headed upstairs.

“The doctor has taken some blood samples for further testing. Although nothing can be confirmed at the moment, he said Jamie will be fine since he doesn’t show any symptoms of a serious illness.

Nonetheless, the doctor said Jamie could have gotten Roseola since he has never been infected by this disease before. While the infection rate is commonly higher among infants that are two weeks old or younger, older children, like Jamie, are also vulnerable against this disease. Thus, the doctor can’t really draw a conclusion since Jamie’s condition is considered a rare one.”

Soon, Pierre arrived at Jameson’s room and saw Meredith carrying the little boy in her arms. She was seen humming a lullaby while gently patting Jameson.
