DreameNovelChapter 380:
With a slight shift in demeanor, Billie’s tone softened as she said, “You should first check if he’s busy. If he is, we
can reschedule the appointment. His job is demanding, and as his partner, supporting and understanding his
commitments is crucial.”
Internally, Carrie grumbled, frustrated that no one seemed to consider her own schedule.
Carrie pressed the call button, and Kristopher’s deep, playful voice cthrough. “Missingalready after just
leaving?”
The car fell silent, and Kristopher’s voice clearly reached Billie. She was briefly startled, and then her expression
turned disdainful. She looked at Carrie with suspicion, as if Carrie was leading Kristopher astray.

Feeling the tension, Carrie glanced at Billie, while Kristopher, unaware of the situation, continued, “What's up?
Feeling shy? Wait...”
“I'm with Billie,” Carrie quickly interjected before Kristopher could make any further inappropriate remarks.
Kristopher paused, and then his voice took on a more serious note as he said, “How cyou two are
together?” Carrie glanced at Billie, recalling her instructions, and avoided answering Kristopher’s question. “Are
you busy this afternoon?”
Kristopher quickly grasped the situation. He closed the folder he was working on, handed it to Oliver with a nod
to take over, and responded smoothly, “I’m available.” Only then did Carrie answer his initial question. “Billie
wants to takefor a pre-pregnancy check-up. You should be there too.”
Kristopher frowned, responding in the sway Carrie had, “Haven't we always had regular check-ups?”
Billie's dissatisfaction intensified, her look sharpening. She was certain that Carrie was a bad influence on
Kristopher.
Your next adventure is at g al n ovels . con
Carrie helplessly pulled at the corners of her mouth, taking on a meek expression, and repeated Billie's words,
“How can a pre-pregnancy check-up be the sas any other check-up?”
A hint of amusement flickered across Kristopher’s face. He recognized the subtle sarcasm in Carrie's tone, a
reflection of his mother’s words. Yet, he also felt reassured. Carrie, previously seen as docile within the Norris
Mansion, was showing signs of savvy and initiative by seeking external support. Reflecting on their relationship,
especially after recent strains, he felt they were becoming more genuinely connected as a couple.
His voice warmed with affection as he said, “I'll be there soon, and I'll visit Gracie too. It's been too long since |

Carrie nodded, ended the call, and looked up to meet Billie's icy stare, sharp as if trying to slice through her.
Carrie calmly opened Whatand pulled up a work group, then waved her phone at Billie. “Billie, | need to
take care of swork for a while.”
Billie sneered, “The Norris family doesn’t need you to play the career woman. | won't meddle anymore, but if you
get pregnant, you must quit and focus on staying home.”
Carrie had initially handled Billie with a purely businesslike approach, but over time, she realized that rigid
adherence to such principles only brought her grief. If a more diplomatic approach could smooth things over,
why continue to create tension?
Carrie smiled faintly and said, “Billie, they say a happy mom makes a healthy pregnancy, but staying at Bayview
Villa all day is makingfeel down. Kristopher’s always caught up in work, and | wake up every morning to a
big, empty house. Now that we have a housekeeper, | find myself with even less to do. You've heard that saying,
right? No one is an island. People are meant to be social, and you can’t be alone all the time.”
