Chapter 848 - A Really Bad News (1/2)

The trip back to Singapore felt really slow for Nicolae, who was feeling impatient. He felt palpitations as he landed on the Continental building roof and hurried down to the lobby. Alaric had prepared a vehicle for him in Singapore, and Nicolae immediately used it to go to the flower shop where Marie was.

Along the way, his c.h.e.s.t was pounding. He did not know why he could feel that way. He felt like a teenager in love who could not wait to meet his girlfriend.

Was this what falling in love was like? His feelings for Marie today were not the same as what he felt for Aleksis many years ago. Although physically, he was in a relationship with Aleksis for a long time, somehow, inwardly, he felt closer to Marie.

Was this bond created between them because he and Marie slept together? He never touched Aleksis s.e.x.u.a.lly when they were together. He even only kissed Aleksis after four years in a relationship. He kissed her when Aleksis finally accepted his proposal.

So compared to Aleksis, Marie had a far deeper physical connection with Nicolae.

The man felt like he was going crazy. Now, in his mind, he constantly imagined Marie's sweet smile and happy face. Nicolae admired her for always showing a cheerful attitude even when she was suffering. He loved her for her strength and resilience. He loved how she was so unique and pleasant.

The car he drove finally arrived at Raffles Road, where Marie's flower shop was located. The man immediately parked his car near the park and rushed to the flower shop.

He didn't know what excuse to give Marie for suddenly appearing in front of her like that. He also had to explain why he disappeared for three months, and she couldn't contact him. However, for Nicolae, it was no longer important.

He only wanted to see Marie.

When he finally arrived in front of the flower shop, Nicolae's steps halted, and his face looked confused. The flower shop was closed.

He approached the window and examined the shop interior from outside, trying to find out whether the shop was temporarily closed because the owner was out for lunch or closed for the day.

There was no announcement at all. The shop looked empty, and there was not a single flower inside. There were only chairs and a table with a few large empty vases. There was no announcement posted on the window for customers who wanted to buy flowers.

He finally tried to call Marie's number, but after a dozen rings, no one picked up the number.

Where on earth was that girl?

”Uhm ... excuse me, Sir. Where is the owner of the flower shop next door?” Finally, Nicolae went to the next-door store that sold various souvenirs. The souvenir shop owner, a middle-aged bald man only shrugged.

”I don't know. Usually, she was always in her shop. She hasn't come in the last three days. Maybe she's sick,” he said. He called his assistant who was wrapping a gift box in the backroom. ”Sharon, do you know where the florist next door go?”

A young girl immediately came out while carrying scissors and wrapping paper in her hand.

”Did you mean Miss Marie Lu? I think she's still sick. She has complained of being unwell for one month now. I think she is having quite a difficult pregnancy...” Sharon replied, glancing at their handsome guest. From her expression, Sharon was clearly curious, why was this young man looking for Marie? What was the relationship between them?

”Eh... pregnancy, you say?” Nicolae's throat suddenly felt choked. His c.h.e.s.t was beating faster and faster.

Is Marie really pregnant? Whose child is she carrying?

Is it...

Mine?
