Chapter 1169 Jealousy From An Ex
The smile on Kailee’s face immediately beccrooked.
She looked at Laney up and down in disbelief, with jealousy and disdain burning in her eyes. Initially, she was only shocked that
Garrett was married. She didn’t expect that in addition to being married, his wife would be pregnant. It also seemed like the baby
was going to be delivered in a matter of days. Kailee found the fact unpalatable. What kind of person was Garrett? He was a wild
and notorious playboy. How could he ever stay with one woman?
Laney, however, didn’t notice anything different with Kailee. She simply nodded politely and said, “Hello, Miss Gibson.”
With a forced smile, Kailee responded, “Hello.” Garrett’s attention was completely taken off Kailee. Instead, he carefully held
Laney’s arm and asked gently, “How are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort today? Is the baby being naughty?”
Garrett’s affection was so sweet that the restlessness Laney had been feeling disappeared in an instant. She rubbed her belly

gently and smiled. “It hasn’t even been born yet. How can it be naughty?”
“That’s good,” Garrett cracked a goofy smile – very much unlike his wild and unruly former self. “Have you decided which
hospital you want to go to?”
Laney nodded. “This one’s okay. I just had a look around it with Janet. It’s not bad at all.” Upon hearing this, Garrett felt a bit
helpless. He hadn’t expected Laney to finally settle on the hospital that his father had picked, but he decided not to debate it with
her since her mind was already made up.
He resolved to keep a close eye on things and not allow the Harding family to bother Laney. Witnessing the romantic bond
between Garrett and Laney made Kailee feel even more uncomfortable.
In the past, Garrett was a big shot in school. A simple smile from him was enough to charm hundreds of girls. It had taken Kailee
a lot of effort to bechis girlfriend.
At that time, they were the dream couple of the school. So many girls were jealous of her. If she didn’t have to travel abroad for
further studies, she wouldn’t have broken up with him. The thing that puzzled Kailee the most was how gentle Garrett was with
Laney. She’d never seen him like this.
This kind of tenderness unexpectedly belonged to an ordinary woman now.

Kailee almost becengulfed with jealousy. “Kailee? Kailee?” Noticing the absent-minded look on Kailee’s face, Garrett waved
his hand in front of her and asked, “What’s on your mind?’
Kailee snapped back to her senses. Upon noticing the confused look on Garrett’s face, she quickly made up an excuse. “Oh, I
was just thinking about work. What’s up?”
Garrett didn’t think too much of it. He smiled at Laney and said, “The Gibson family owns this hospital, right? My wife will go to
your hospital soon. Promiseto take good care of her. Alright?”
The level of care that Garrett was showing Laney made Kailee even more jealous. In order to maintain her composure, however,
Kailee took a deep breath to try and calm down. “Of course. I’ll ask the staff to take very good care of her. You have nothing to
worry about.”
“Thank you. I really appreciate it,” Garrett thanked her sincerely.
But the distance between them deeply hurt Kailee. The contrast between Garrett’s attitude towards his wife and his attitude
towards her was so striking that she couldn’t stay another second. She made up an excuse and got ready to leave.
Garrett, however, didn’t think much of it. After saying goodbye to Kailee, his attention went right back to Laney.
Upon seeing the couple’s affectionate interaction with each other, Jfelt relieved “Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll get going.
Brandon’s waiting forat home.” Garrett was grateful to Jfor accompanying Laney to the hospital. “Thank you for taking
care of my wife today, Janet. I’ll make sure to treat you to dinner one of these days.”
