Chapter 406 - Share Half Each
Chapter 406 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother" starts with unexpected events: Noah Owen looked at the man serving her rice across the table, feeling utterly confused.... Find out more!
Noah Owen looked at the man serving her rice across the table, feeling utterly confused. She wondered whether to tell him about the pregnancy.When Henry Reid handed the rice to Noah Owen, he stared straight at her and asked, "Why arenât you wearing the pajamas I picked out for you?"
"Hmm! I donât want to." Noah Owen confessed frankly.
At this moment, Henry Reid could already see that this woman was in a particularly bad mood today. She wasnât even doing something she was usually keen on, which meant there was really something going on.
So, he cautiously asked, "Is it really your period? The timing doesnât seem right!"
"Canât you think of anything else when you come to see me?" Right now, Noah Owen was very annoyed, especially knowing that Henry Reid was only there to sleep with her, which made her even more irritated.
"Didnât I cook the meal? Do you want to talk about poetry, songs, and aspirations with me now?"
He then asked, "Noah Owen, could it be that youâre into me?"
"Canât eating shut your mouth?" Noah Owen looked at Henry Reidâs roguish attitude, growing increasingly impatient.
"Pfft..." Henry Reid couldnât help but laugh at Noah Owenâs nervous expression. The more he looked at her, the more he felt she had feelings for him.
Henry Reid found the whole situation unbelievable. He had always thought Noah Owen was only with him casually but didnât expect that she had genuine feelings.
Henry Reid thought it was hilarious. Nothing was more absurd than this; the woman who always despised men was now infatuated with one. It was like the bigger the forest, the more peculiar the birds.
So, he held back his laughter and, with a puzzled and surprised expression, asked Noah Owen, "Miss Owen, could it be that you want to talk about the future with me, are you sure about this?"
Listening to Henry Reidâs mockery, Noah Owen slowly looked up, gazing at him indifferently, and suddenly said, "Iâm pregnant."
Initially, she didnât plan to tell Henry Reid about this. However, since this man was so clueless, repeatedly mocking her, why should she keep it to herself? Of course, she should tell him the truth and make him worry too, and see how smug he would remain.
"Pft..." Across the table, when Henry Reid heard Noah Owen say she was pregnant, the food he had just put in his mouth was instantly spit out in shock, followed by a fit of coughing.
This fact frightened him. He never imagined she was unhappy because of the pregnancy.
Henry Reid was at a loss, unsure of what to say, momentarily dumbfounded.
Although he had been with many women over the years, Noah Owen was the first to get pregnant. Despite all the precautions, they still left an opportunity for this little one.
Noah Owen looked at the man caught off guard, raised the corners of her mouth in a cold smile, thinking, "So, this is all the courage he has? Did he not think there would be consequences when he was with me?"
Therefore, she took a deep breath, tapped his bowl with her chopsticks, and sarcastically said, "Young Master Reid, is this all the courage you have? Too cowardly, right? I havenât even asked you to take responsibility yet! What are you afraid of?"
"Too surprising, too surprising!" Henry Reid covered his mouth, coughing as he explained.
Listening to his explanation, Noah Owen gave him a cold look and said, "I donât plan on keeping the child, but since youâre half responsible, the abortion money is split fifty-fifty."
"Why? Why decide to terminate without consulting me? Did I agree? Did I cast my vote?" Henry Reid exclaimed upon hearing her decision to not keep the child.
Although he hadnât seriously considered a future with Noah Owen, they still had to deal with this. Forcibly ending a life was too much; it was a life after all!
Noah Owen glared at Henry Reid, who was overreacting, and slammed her chopsticks on the table with a cold laugh, "So Young Master Reid wants me to have this baby? Sorry, you overthought. I have never planned on carrying your child for nine months. I was just in it for momentary happiness, and this mistake wonât drag me down for life."
"Noah Owen, donât you dare try it? You said it yourself; this child is half mine too!"
"Yes, it is half yours, so remember to prepare the money. If you think you can use my body to continue your family line, ha! Donât even think about it. Itâs my body; I make the decisions."
"..." Henry Reid was speechless. Noah Owen wasnât wrong at all; it was her body, and she had the right to make decisions.
If she didnât want to give birth, what could he do?
Henry Reid was dumbfounded, his mind a complete mess, not knowing how to negotiate with Noah Owen.
He looked at the womanâs indifferent attitude, wondering how he ended up getting this unfeeling woman pregnant, and she even wanted to terminate the pregnancy. He couldnât agree to that.
After a moment, Henry Reid looked earnestly at Noah Owen and asked, "Noah Owen, what would convince you to have this child?"
"Sorry, thereâs no way I will have it."
"If I marry..."
"Sorry, Iâve never thought of marrying you." With a hardened heart, Noah Owen interrupted Henry Reidâs words, clearly not wanting this child.
"Noah Owen, give me three days. I will give you a satisfactory answer."
"Stop struggling, I never planned on having it."
"Noah Owen, canât you even wait for three days? Give me some time to process, and you can think about it too. After all, itâs not a small matter." With these words, Henry Reid left the table and returned to his apartment.
He only had a crush on Noah Owen, and never expected such a serious matter to arise unexpectedly. Moreover, Noah Owenâs attitude was so firm that he couldnât find any approach.
Noah Owen wasnât like other girls; money couldnât resolve this issue, and her heart remained so cold, devoid of any sentimental affection.
Henry Reid couldnât even imagine her being pregnant. Even if he was willing to marry her for the child, that woman was so stubborn that he had no way to make her compromise.
Henry Reidâs head ached, sitting on the living room sofa, continuously scratching his head, unable to figure out a way to deal with Noah Owen.
Inside Noah Owenâs apartment, she looked at the not-so-tasty food on the table and Henry Reidâs bowls and chopsticks, feeling quite complicated.
She reflected on what Henry Reid just said and his attitude.
She initially thought that man would want her to abort the child, but she didnât expect heâd want her to keep it, even suggesting marriage.
Noah Owen wasnât a sentimental person and found it awkward when others tried to have touchy-feely conversations with her, so she interrupted Henry Reid earlier.
Yet, her heart was stirred by Henry Reid, and, in spite of herself, she was somewhat looking forward to what kind of reason he would give in 3 days.
However, having no other options, Henry Reid had to call his cousin Asher Norton for help, asking how to deal with Noah Owen.
On the other end of the line, Asher Norton listened to Henry Reidâs troubles and immediately summoned him to the bar.
