After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire’s Child

74: Chapter 74 Another Side of Emily Parker 74: Chapter 74 Another Side of Emily Parker Emily Parker was too worried about Carlos earlier to notice, but now that she looked, she identified a problem.

Why was her design drawing in Carlos’s hands?

“Is this the factory’s new car?”

Emily tentatively asked,

“It’s not on the market yet, and for some reason, it caught fire during a test drive, and the automotive engineers haven’t been able to resolve the fault.”

“Is this car model a new design I haven’t seen in the market?”

“It was designed by Grandpa; this factory was originally established by him.

Last time I went to People’s Hospital to see him, he had just sketched a design drawing and left it aside.

I thought the design concept was quite good, so I used it.”

Emily was taken aback.

“Does Grandpa live in People’s Hospital?”

Emily thought to herself, as she often encountered Carlos in People’s Hospital.

“He stays in the VIP ward, and you haven’t met him yet.

Our marriage came together rather quickly.

I haven’t even told him.

If you want to visit him, I can take you there another day.”

“No need, I actually know Grandpa.

We met while dining in the hospital’s small garden, and often had lunch together.”

Emily suddenly realized—the Old Master’s surname was Carter, as was Carlos’s.

That day at the hospital, when the Old Master mentioned he was the Crown Prince’s grandpa, he wasn’t bragging; it was true.

“So Grandpa’s dining partner turned out to be you.”

Carlos also found it unexpected,

Was it Emily who made Grandpa’s lunch every day?

Thinking that Grandpa could eat the lunches Emily made every day made Carlos a bit envious,

Emily didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; previously, the Old Master had always wanted to matchmake her with his foreign grandson, but she politely declined.

Who would have thought that after all the twists and turns, she had already married Carlos, although theirs was just a marriage of agreement.

If Carlos knew that the Old Master disliked him, it was hard to predict how upset he would be.

No wonder recently, the Old Master chatted with her about car design on WeChat from time to time; Emily found it quite puzzling.

Now thinking about it, everything made sense.

“Since the engineers can’t solve the problem with this car, it looks like I’ll have to seek out Grandpa.”

Carlos had a headache.

“With the way you look now, you’ll startle Grandpa.

His blood pressure isn’t good; he mustn’t be distressed.”

Emily glanced at the car with its smashed front end.

Going there would be in vain; Grandpa wouldn’t understand.

“Not long ago, when Grandpa and I dined together, he mentioned the design drawing and explained it to me in detail.

Maybe I could discuss it with the engineers.”

Emily proposed, as she had casually drawn the design, and only she understood the principle.

“You?”

Car design is an extremely complex task, even experienced engineers need many years of practical application.

Had Emily figured out a solution just from what Grandpa told her?

Besides, Carter Automotive was full of rugged men, and as a woman, Emily would probably find it hard to be convincing.

But seeing Emily so eager to try, Carlos didn’t want to disappoint her and reluctantly took her to the development center.

Carter Automotive Center.

The atmosphere in the office was tense.

Carter Automotive was an established factory, and many of the engineers here were already in their forties and fifties.

Many of them had been in this field for over twenty years, and the Director of the R&D center, Director Ross, had even grown grey hair over this new model.

They had hoped the new car hitting the market would solve Carter Automotive’s long-standing difficulties.

Unexpectedly, the new car failed in both test drives, and this time, even Junior President Carter was injured.

Everyone was worried that Carter Automotive would go bankrupt.

Director Ross was at a loss as well, trying to comfort everyone.

When Carlos entered with Emily Parker, he too noticed the low spirits among the employees.

Director Ross was sitting there, hands cradling his head, staring blankly at the car design blueprints.

Carlos was thinking about what kind of role to assign to Emily Parker.

Emily Parker walked up to Director Ross and extended her hand proactively,

“Hello, Director Ross.

I am the R&D consultant sent by Senior President Carter.”

Upon hearing that a new consultant had arrived, Director Ross looked up in surprise.

Director Ross froze for a moment, faced with a woman who had a bright smile.

The R&D center was staffed with male employees, and it was the first time they heard of a female consultant.

The woman’s beauty was striking to everyone.

They all exchanged glances.

A female consultant?

And such a beautiful one at that?

Director Ross couldn’t help but think of the rumors about Junior President Carter, how he was a playboy surrounded by beauties.

Could it be that this so-called beauty consultant was just a front brought in by Junior President Carter?

“What are we even doing at times like this, Junior President Carter…sigh.”

Director Ross forced out a bitter smile as he shook hands with Emily Parker.

He and the other staff shared the same thought: this female consultant probably couldn’t even understand the design blueprints.

The employees’ distrust of her was clear, and Emily Parker saw it all.

Throughout her life, she had faced many such doubts due to her appearance.

Emily Parker pointed at the design blueprints on the table,

“If the vehicle’s speed is too high, it can easily lead to the battery overheating.

The battery can’t handle the load, leading to a short circuit.

We need to find a way to address the overheating issue.”

As soon as Emily Parker spoke, Carlos and the engineers in the office were all taken aback.

“That makes sense.

I’ll have someone check the batteries of the new cars right away.”

Carlos’s new car model under development was an electric vehicle aimed at the youth market.

The engineers had been preoccupied with speed, neglecting battery compatibility.

Emily Parker’s reminder was an epiphany for them.

Carlos also helped answer some questions, and Emily Parker noticed his deep understanding of cars.

Previously perceived as a playboy, it was unexpected that he could handle technical issues with such ease.

Gradually, the disbelief on the engineers’ faces was completely replaced by respect.

This young, beautiful consultant might have suggested concepts they had never heard of.

The light illuminated the woman’s smooth face, making her appear even more enchanting.

Carlos stood by the side, gazing at Emily Parker, and for a moment, found himself looking away.

The afternoon passed quickly, and the despondent atmosphere at the R&D center had vanished.

Even late into the night, the R&D center was still brightly lit.

Carlos had Oliver Ross buy some supper and coffee.

Thinking of Emily Parker as a pregnant woman, who shouldn’t overexert herself, Carlos returned to the office.

There by a pile of blueprints, lay a slender figure.

Emily Parker had fallen asleep.

Carlos made a silencing gesture, indicating that everyone should leave the office.

The engineers quickly exited as they still had to work overnight on revising the design blueprints.

Carlos stepped forward, bent down, and with one long arm, Emily Parker was securely in his embrace.

She seemed to sense something, her body restlessly shifted.

She found a comfortable position, resting her head against Carlos’s chest.

Her sleeping face was serene, with her long black eyelashes resting on her porcelain face.

Carlos merely glanced at her, and his heartbeat quickened again.

He brought Emily Parker back to the villa.

Inside the bedroom, Carlos gently put Emily Parker down.

His phone rang, it was Rainny White calling.

Carlos didn’t know that Emily Parker had already awoken.
