Carrie felt a bit angry, but she managed to suppress it. She said, “It’s much better now. At least I can dare to say hello to him. The last time I saw Zachary, I was shaking. I couldn’t even look at him directly, let alone talk to him.”

This time, she hesitated to call Zachary, yet she did manage to speak with him. Although her demeanor wasn’t entirely calm, she was about eighty percent composed.

This could hardly be considered progress.

In just over a month, she had changed in this way; wasn’t that a positive sign?

She used to tremble at the mere mention of Zachary’s name.

Then, the bodyguard fell silent.

“In the future, please don’t keep asking me to do this or that. I need time to learn, especially over the past half-month. Mr. Labbe has said that this time is my holiday. I just had an abortion for him,” Carrie said, maintaining a serious expression.

This was her first pregnancy, and she chose to terminate it as soon as she learned she was expecting. She felt no attachment to the child.

However, the physical trauma she endured was undeniable.

The pain she experienced on the day of the miscarriage was something she had never encountered in her life. Mr. Labbe was the one who put her through this.

The bodyguard replied coldly, “The young master is now capable of taking over the boss’s business. As expected, he will be the successor to the boss. With a successor in place, the boss won’t want any more children unless you can satisfy him. If he develops feelings for you, he might give you a child to keep you company for the rest of your life.”

Mr. Labbe had no shortage of children. The children he had with his first wife were all considered exceptional.

Several of his previous mistresses had pleased him, resulting in multiple children with them.

Carrie’s time with Mr. Labbe was too brief, and he rarely visited Wiltspoon. What kind of relationship could they possibly have? They were merely using one another. Therefore, Mr. Labbe would not allow Carrie to have a child.

understand your concerns, but I need some time to myself. Just stop at the upcoming intersection.”

Carrie was aware of her bodyguard’s intentions, yet her frustration boiled over as she replied coldly, “I don’t want to have a baby. I’m young and don’t want to be tied down by a child.”

She was also anticipating Mr. Labbe to honor his promise once she completed her assigned task. After that, she could marry the person she desired and live as a young mistress, free from the shadows cast by others.

The bodyguards fell silent. They had been shadowing Carrie for a while and had a clear understanding of her temperament.

Carrie was a pampered child. Despite having faced challenges, she remained willful and impulsive, lacking the maturity expected at her age. This was why Mr. Labbe had arranged for the two of them to keep an eye on her, ensuring she stayed cautious and avoided being deceived.

Zachary had also dispatched someone to investigate Mrs. Labbe.

Even if her husband provided misleading information, it was clear that Zachary did not trust the false details given by him.

Zachary was determined to prove that the so-called Mrs. Labbe was indeed Carrie.

Therefore, when Carrie presented herself as Mrs. Labbe, there could be no mistakes that would raise suspicion.

“Stop at the intersection ahead. I’m not ready to go back yet,” Carrie insisted, wanting to take a solitary walk.

The bodyguard immediately responded, “Where would you like to go, Madam? The boss instructed me to accompany you whenever you go out.”

The driver added, “It’s raining today, and Madam, you just had a miscarriage. It’s best not to venture out.”

Frustrated, Carrie finally replied, “Fine, I understand your concerns, but I need some time alone.”

“Won’t go.”

Carrie was tightly wound and filled with anger, though Serenity was unaware of this.

She didn’t rise until nearly ten o’clock. Once the temperature dropped, getting out of bed became a challenge.

It was still cozy under the quilt.

If Secretary Demi Hillier hadn’t called to inform her that Evan had sent numerous items to her office for Abby, she might not have returned to the company that morning.
