OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 167 – Joan is pregnant

A month ago, Joanna woke up with aches all over, and her walls felt sore. With the strong arm wrapped around her, it didn’t take long for her to remember their passionate night.

Alex was wild in the beginning, gentle mid-way, but turned beastly towards the end; she couldn’t match his energy.

However, she vividly remembered the conditions attached to this arrangement. Joanna had not researched the divorce proceedings due to her hope of things getting better between them, so last night was like a blow to her.

She had no idea that the procedure was supposed to be finalized in court.

Still, she could not blame Alex after he had warned her from the beginning, only grateful for his honesty.

Facing him as he slept beside her, his features were soft and attractive. She planted a kiss on his lips as her hand gently massaged her stomach.

"God, please make me pregnant, and I promise not to be a bitch to use it against him. On the contrary, I will be far away from him," Joanna silently prayed before gently getting off the bed.

After a quick shower, she put on some clothes and called Violet on the phone. The latter was preparing for work before hearing Joanna’s sad words.

"I signed the divorce papers, V. I just want to be away from him for a while."

Violet was silent for a while, but when she spoke, Joanna was stunned. "Mention where. I’m coming with you." She always felt that Joanna was weak and needed to be protected.

If Joanna and Alex were divorced, then she was certain that Joanna would be without bodyguards.

"You’ll do that for me?" Joanna was stunned, thanking her stars for meeting Violet in Logan’s house that day.

"Come on, I’ve been working for years without a leave. My brother is there, so I don’t think the company would be lacking, but who would take care of yours?"

Joanna remembered her conversation with Alex and smiled. "Don’t worry. It’s in safe hands."

"And your mom?"

A tear slid down Joanna’s cheek, but she quickly wiped them. "I won’t tell her now. Not until I’m ready to return. If need be, I will have you bring her."

Violet went silent again before responding. "Alright. I will see you in a bit."

Joanna refused. "No. I will come meet you." She had in mind to pack a few things, but when she went downstairs, her clothes were already packed.

Something died inside of her. "Why did you pack my bags?"

Betty was almost in tears. "Sir had me pack it when he returned last night before setting up the dinner."

Was it so bad that Alex was so eager to get rid of her? Joanna tasted bitterness in her mouth but smiled through it. "Thank you."

She got it wrong thinking he would ever feel anything for her. Jack helped her to the car and informed her.

"Sir left a message for me to take you wherever you want."

Joanna forced a smile and instructed. "I will go meet Violet before the airport, but first, there is something I need to do."

She hastened back to the house and picking up the divorce papers from where she left them earlier, she dropped it beside Alex before removing her ring and adding to it.

Then she noticed her ring on Alex’s finger and removed it, but turning around and heading back to the car. freewebnσvel.cøm

Throughout the drive, her heart felt heavy. She hoped to never see Alex again until she had completely gotten over him.

As soon as she saw Violet, the two embraced affectionately. "I can’t believe it’s happening. Joan, I’m so sorry," she cooed in Joanna’s ear; the latter smiled.

"It’s nothing, V. I saw it coming."

She pulled Violet to the side away from Jack and whispered to her. "V, I begged Alex to have sex with me last night, and I hope I’m carrying his child. I don’t want him to find me to claim it or think I will use it to force him to be with me."

Violet was stunned by the news. "Wait a minute. You had sex with Alex after the divorce?"

Joanna felt no guilt. This was the price of her unrefuted love. "Yes, but since it’s not confirmed whether I’m pregnant or not, I have to see the world first."

Violet guessed it was her way of getting Alex off her mind but did not expose her. "Alright. I will let my brother help us disappear without a trace," she assured Joanna, the latter looked in the direction of the car she brought, but Violet smiled.

"Don’t worry, tell him to take us to the airport."

Reaching there, Jack drove away, and that was when Violet’s brother, Travis, arrived and drove them to the subway. From there, the pair took flights to London, Paris, and Dubai before settling down in Florida when Joanna began to feel weird.

"You should eat before we explore Miami," Violet said excitedly, since their next destination was Costa Rica.

Joanna did not seem as excited as before and yawned. "I feel like I need more sleep."

"You know what? I think we should go to the hospital to have you checked," Violet suggested, not forgetting the information Joanna gave her about having sex with Alex.

"It’s too early. I will just get the home pregnancy test kit," Joanna suggested, but Violet did not think it was a good idea.

"If you were fine, then that would be good, but you don’t look okay, so come on, let’s go to the hospital."

Joanna did not refuse as the two went to the hospital and were met with the happy news.

"You are pregnant," the doctor announced after receiving the lab results. Excitement brewed in Joanna’s mind as she hugged Violet tightly. When the two walked out of the hospital, a familiar person saw them.

"I just saw Joan in the hospital with her maid of honor. They went to the gynecological side." At the end of the line, Colton was curious.

"Which hospital?"

Tess smiled and replied. "They already left, and maybe, for us moving here was a good thing. I’m just wondering why Alex isn’t here. Let me follow them."

Tess saw the women alight from a taxi and enter a restaurant as she heard Violet placing the order.

"Give us something healthy and suitable for pregnant women." The color drained from Tess’s face instantly, as she texted her brother. ’Joan is pregnant. I’m going to help her get rid of it.’
