I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away
Chapter 438: A Woman's Sense of Security

Seeing the photograph, Meredith finally let go of her hopes. How could her biological father possibly be a prince of the French royalty? News about the diplomatic visit was all over her phone the moment she turned it on, including photos of Prince Darcy DuMont and his wife Catherine, smiling and waving at the crowd, both strikingly attractive and affable. Indeed, Lucien DuMont bore a strong resemblance to his mother, Princess Catherine. "Meredith."

Azure pushed open the door of the private booth and presented a gift. "Here are some clothes and bottles I bought for your baby; you'll be needing them soon." Meredith smiled lightly, "Thank you."

"When is your due date?" Azure asked, looking at Meredith's belly. "May I touch it?"

Azure was fascinated by how large a woman's belly could swell, almost like a beach ball.

"Of course," Meredith said, taking Azure's hand and placing it on her stomach. "Lucky sometimes moves, mostly in the mornings; she's usually sleeping around this time..." Before she could finish, Lucky kicked from within.

Azure felt the kick, "She kicked me! She moved! It's so magical, so powerful yet gentle, it could melt your heart."

Azure was thrilled by this new life's strength.

"Lucky seems to like you," Meredith chuckled. "She doesn't show her face to just anyone. So far, only Terrence Sterling and you have had this honor."

"Really?" Azure was overjoyed. "If she turns out to be a girl, I'll teach her to dance."

"That sounds wonderful," Meredith replied. "We'll find out in October."

The baby was due in mid-October.

"That's soon, just over a month away," Azure said excitedly.

Meredith and Terrence Sterling were also eagerly awaiting the day, hoping for a smooth delivery.

Meanwhile.

At a golf club, Terrence Sterling and his friend Forrest Landwright had just finished a round of golf and were resting under a sun umbrella when Forrest stepped aside to take a call.

At that moment, Rick received a call and approached Terrence, "Mr. Sterling, after Joy Chaucer left, she was seen with a man named Ethan Channing, the owner of the CC Club. On the night Ruby Kim died, Joy had an alibi - she was at this CC Club."

People like Joy Chaucer required extra vigilance from Terrence, as Fiona and Ruby Kim's deaths were not unconnected to her.

Terrence sipped some mineral water and gestured, "Look into this CC Club more thoroughly, and be discreet about it."

"Understood, Mr. Sterling," Rick replied, stepping away.

Forrest finished his call and joined Terrence under the umbrella, "How about we grab a drink tonight? I'll invite Markus and William."

"Sounds good," Terrence suggested. "I heard the CC Club is quite the spot; why don't we go there tonight?"

Forrest smiled, "No problem, we'll find a couple of ladies to join us for a few drinks."

The implication was clear; men did not need to spell everything out.

Terrence laughed and pointed to his ear, "Mr. Landwright, stop teasing. Who doesn't know I'm henpecked? I'm fine with drinks, but that's all!"

Forrest teased back, "What, afraid your wife might kick you out?"

"I spent the first month on the couch," Terrence joked self-deprecatingly. "I'm still watching my wife's face while I eat."

Terrence's willingness to joke about such matters showed his deep love for his wife, unconcerned about others' opinions.

Forrest remarked, "Your wife is lucky to have you."

"I'm the lucky one," Terrence smiled warmly. "When's your wife due? I've got a generous gift prepared."

"Mid-October," Terrence replied. "Meeting my wife was my good fortune."

Forrest laughed, "There you go, showing off your love again. I'll call Markus and William, and we'll head to the CC Club tonight."

As Forrest made the call, Terrence rang Meredith to check in.

Listening to him, Forrest laughed after hanging up, "Mr. Sterling, I admire you... Mrs. Sterling really knows how to keep you in line; you even have to report back."

Terrence shook his phone slightly, "A woman's sense of security is something a husband must provide."
