Chapter 1576
Jayden remained silent.
He looked at Vanessa disapprovingly as he asked, "How long are you planning to stay?"
Vanessa thought for a moment, took a glance at Jayden, then said to Julien, "Forget it. I believe Jayden can take good care of his wife. I'd be a third wheel if I stay here. He will be displeased by my presence!"
As Vanessa said so, the two brothers relaxed at the same time. She realized from their body language that they clearly did not want her to stay behind to take care of Silvia.
She added, "You two haven't seen each other in a long while. You should have some things to catch up on with each other. I’ll go in and chat with Silvia first."
Julien said, "Go ahead."
Vanessa came to Silvia's bed again. This time, when Vanessa saw her, she could see that Silvia was much more relaxed. "Silvia, have you cleared things up with Jayden?"
Silvia nodded. "Yes, I have but I still feel a little uneasy. It somehow feels like something' s going to happen."
Vanessa said, "Silvia, just tell me if something’ s bothering you. If I can help, then I'll do my best."
There were some things that Silvia could not tell Jayden. She was worried that he would blame himself. However, she could share it with Vanessa. "Vanessa, Jayden told me that the reason why he came to the hospital with the surrogate mother was that she was ill and refused treatment. In desperation, Jayden took time to accompany her because he was worried about the child in her womb," Silvia explained.
"Silvia," Vanessa said, "You're suspicious of this woman, aren't you?"
Silvia nodded. "It's not that I'm deliberately trying to be suspicious of her. After all, she's carrying our child. But I just think It's best to be careful about everything."
"You’re not the only one suspicious of her too, Silvia. I know of others hiring surrogates but the designated surrogates would never see their employer at all. Once the child is born, the employer would pay the surrogate and have the child taken away. The surrogate would not even know where the child would be taken to. The fact that this woman used such a sleazy method to force Jayden to come out and meet her... I don’t know what she has planned!"
"I can't figure this out either, so I want to ask you for favor," Silvia said as she took out her cell phone and searched for a number. "Vanessa, get your phone out and take this number down. It’s my best friend's number. Her husband is quite influential in Madison City. Contact her and ask her to help me investigate the woman. Please remind her that it's better for her husband to be in the dark about this."
Vanessa asked curiously, "Silvia, why don't you contact her personally?"
"If I personally contact her, that b*stard Jayden would find out. I don't want him to know until I get to the bottom of this matter. After all, everything he's doing is for my own good. It's exactly because the matter is related to me that he's a little nervous and would not be able to think clearly and objectively about things at times," Silvia explained.
Vanessa understood where Silvia was coming from. "Okay, leave this to me," she answered without hesitation.
When her mother got into trouble in the past, Vanessa was still too young to help. Now that she was older, she would not let any of her loved ones get hurt.
It was already the second afternoon of the day since the incident when Levi received a phone call about Silvia's unborn child. The moment he answered the call, Levi was as gleeful as a child. After hanging up the phone, he turned around and hugged Jasper. "Commander Black, I love you," he exclaimed.
Jasper quickly pried Levi’s hands off him. "Let go, Levi. Behave yourself, you are a soldier!"
How could a man behave so inappropriately when they were both straight?
Levi let go of Jasper. "Ah, why are you so serious? I'm just pulling your leg. Even though we don't have a decent woman on our team, I still won't change my sexual preferences."
Jasper said sternly, "Your family's matters have been dealt with. Stop getting sidetracked and focus on your training. It'll be the year end examinations very soon. You should know very well what kind of results you'd need to achieve to avoid embarrassing your father."
Levi said, "Don't worry. I won't bring shame to my father..."
Jasper said, "I have faith in you."
Levi had been in the army for nearly a year. During this time, Jasper got to know this kid well. As long as Levi put in a little more effort, and was given some opportunities to make some achievements, he could easily take over the helm of the military in the future.
"You go ahead with your own business. I'm leaving," Levi said as he waved his hand.
When Levi came out of Jasper's office, he coincidentally crossed paths with his nemesis, Monique. He glanced at her, but she looked at him with disdain. No, her gaze was actually filled with surprise coupled with disdain!
Levi looked down at his own clothes. There was nothing wrong with his outfit. "Monique, what's with the look in your eyes?" He asked.
Monique said, "What look are you talking about?"
"Haven't you ever seen such a handsome man before?" Levi asked with a smile.
"What?!"
Levi added, "Huh! If you're in love with me, just say it. I have plenty of female admirers anyway, so I don't really care if you happen to be one of them."
Monique continued to size Levi up. "I'm afraid, for a girl who likes you, no matter how beautiful she is, you would not care about her."
Levi asked, "What do you mean?"
Monique said, "You know what I mean. Shame on you!"
Levi was annoyed and exclaimed, "Aren't you f*cking asking for a beating?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
He had tried his best not to provoke this woman. However, she always had something against him. He was not sure how true the rumours he heard from the team were, that Monique was just doing this to get his attention and to make him think that she was different from other girls.
Forget it. It was not like he hadn't had any experience with this kind of woman who pretended to be lofty. The girls who tried to get his attention in the past were more or less self-aware of what they brought to the table. However, this androgynous person probably did not even know how to spell the word "dignity". Why should he fuss over her?
Monique hurriedly took a step back. She stood far away from Levi, as if he had caught the plague. For the following few days, Monique would avoid Levi, even during training.
Cecil could tell that Monique was not only annoyed by Levi, but also a little disgusted. After training, she returned to the dormitory with Monique and asked, "Monique, did something happen between you and Young Master Brown?"
Monique shook her head, "No."
Cecil obviously did not buy it. "No? If nothing happened, why are you avoiding him?"
Monique had been keeping something deep within her heart for a long time, and she felt very uncomfortable about this. She had wanted to talk to someone about it but she knew that this kind of thing could not be said casually. If she said it, it would not only affect Levi but also their leader.
However, if this issue wasn't stopped in time, everyone would learn from Levi and start using their bodies to seduce their superiors! What would happen to their Red Eagle team then?
As Monique thought about this scenario, she started to feel that the potential outcome of this was indeed terrifying.
