After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 46 - Emily Parker’s Mother
46: Chapter 46 Emily Parker’s Mother
46 -46 Emily Parker’s Mother
Emily Parker, the more Evan Palmer looked at her, the less he liked her.
In Evan’s view, Emily was just a scheming woman who climbed up the ladder by using her child.
He had seen plenty of such women.
But Emily was more troublesome than those women.
“It was I who asked Emily and Carlos to come back for dinner.”
Mrs.
Carter said with a smile.
“I heard you went to the school this afternoon?”
Mrs.
Carter had been taking a nap when the butler received a call, saying that the school had asked for Evan.
Evan casually agreed,
“It’s nothing serious, I’ll take care of my daughter’s issues.
You don’t need to worry about this, just focus on taking care of yourself.”
Emily remembered Oliver Ross mentioning that Carlos had a sister, who she had yet to meet, currently in her second year of high school.
Evan clearly didn’t want to elaborate.
He glanced at Carlos.
“I have something to discuss with you.”
Carlos followed Evan into the room.
Emily stayed with Mrs.
Carter, waiting for dinner, chatting over tea with her mother-in-law.
Unwittingly, their topic shifted to the previous matchmaking.
“Mom, was it also your first time meeting Mrs.
Parker and Sophie?
How come I heard that it was initially your idea to create a marital alliance with the Parker family, arranging for Carlos to meet Sophie?”
Emily was puzzled.
She could tell that Mrs.
Carter didn’t like the type of woman Sophie was.
“Why would I set my sights on Sophie?
I’ve always had my eyes on you.
I don’t know your foster mother, and I’ve only met your foster father a few times.
The one I know is your mother.”
Mrs.
Carter spoke and then set down her teacup, unsure if she should bring up those old stories, fearing it would upset Emily.
Her mother?
Emily’s mind involuntarily conjured the voice and face of her mother.
“Many years ago, your mother and I crossed paths once.
Actually, Carlos has seen your mother too, but he had just been born at that time, so he doesn’t remember.”
Mrs.
Carter sank into reminiscence.
Over twenty years ago, she had just married.
Her father was getting old and wanted her to take over the Carter Clan’s affairs.
Mrs.
Carter was very ambitious at that time, hands-on with everything, even during her pregnancy with Carlos.
Once, she was on a plane to a business trip and encountered turbulence.
She went into premature labor and heavily bled.
The plane was still over an hour away from the nearest airport, and the crew on the plane was helpless.
“Just then, a female passenger in economy claimed she was a doctor.
She helped me, not only stopping the bleeding but also saving the prematurely born child.
That child was Carlos.
That female passenger was your mother.
Had I not been fortunate enough to encounter her, Carlos and I might have both died.”
With memories of the past, tears welled up in Mrs.
Carter’s eyes.
“At that time, I had just given birth, and after the plane landed, your mother left.
I could only get her name from the flight attendant.
Later, my body was very weak, and I rested for months.
Once I was able to work and live normally, I wanted to find your mother, to repay her life-saving grace no matter what.”
Unfortunately, Mrs.
Carter searched for over a decade.
It was only a few years ago that she finally found out about the fate of her savior.
She immediately took her secretary and hurried over, but she was a step too late; the person had already passed away.
“Fortunately, I learned she had a daughter, which is you.
I thought you were alone and helpless, so I wanted to bring you home, adopt you as my daughter.
I searched for you once more.
But I was again one step late; by then, you had already become the adopted daughter of the Parker family.
I wanted to find you, but considering that your mother had just passed not long before and you were still grieving, I didn’t want to disturb you.
Over the years, I’ve always been paying attention to the Parker family; I thought that your father would treat you well…”
Mrs.
Carter’s expression darkened.
A fierce glint flashed in her eyes, and only at this moment could Emily faintly see the traces of the formidable businesswoman who dominated the marketplace.
“The Parker family actually treated you poorly.”
Mrs.
Carter held Emily’s hand, trembling slightly with anger.
“Mrs.
Carter, you said that you have been paying attention to the Parker family and my father all these years; could it be that my father’s smooth official career these past few years is due to you?”
Emily’s mind raced.
Mrs.
Carter patted her hand,
“Let’s not talk about those unhappy things.
Come to think of it, it’s a blessing in disguise.
Had you been adopted by me, how could you have become my daughter-in-law?
Emily, if anyone bullies you in the future, even if it’s Carlos, you tell me, I will stand up for you.”
Emily was moved.
She held Mrs.
Carter’s hand, and as she did, Emily’s brows furrowed slightly.
Stealthily, she grasped Mrs.
Carter’s wrist, feeling her pulse.
When she first met Mrs.
Carter, Emily had thought that Mrs.
Carter looked pale. fгeewebnovёl.com
“I learned some traditional Chinese medicine from my mother when she was alive.
Mom, your pulse doesn’t seem very good.
Would you like to go for a checkup at the hospital?”
“I get a check-up every year, arranged by one of Evan’s old classmates.”
Mrs.
Carter laughed.
“Mom, if you trust me, I can arrange a check-up for you at our hospital tomorrow.
I suspect you’ve been poisoned.”
Mrs.
Carter’s body stiffened, taking a long while to recover.
In the study, Evan Palmer threw a stack of financial reports in front of Carlos.
“This is this month’s report for the Carter Clan’s car factory.
Finance tells me you’ve only taken over for a few days, and the factory has already spent millions.
Do you want it to go bankrupt even faster?
That factory was founded by your grandfather.
If it goes bankrupt, he’d be livid.”
“The factory’s car models are too old, young people simply do not like them.
I’m planning to convert the entire old energy car production line into an electric car production line.
Moreover, the workers need retraining; I’ll need an additional 30 million.”
“30 million, you think it’s 3000 yuan?
Don’t dream it, the board won’t approve.”
“Whether the board will approve or not, it’s not up to you to say.
Don’t forget you’re just a vice president.
Either my mother or grandfather can veto your decision.”
Carlos had been discussing car matters with “grandfather” recently; “grandfather’s” designs were good, there was no problem in producing new electric cars.
“Damn you!
Get out.”
Evan was so angry that he grabbed a nearby ashtray and hurled it at Carlos.
Carlos left without a word, slamming the door.
Evan was still fuming when his phone rang, and his expression softened significantly upon seeing the caller.
