Leona calmed down. She understood exactly what the Manleys wanted. Since the Manleys wanted this child so badly, even if she gave birth to this child, the Manleys would never raise this child with Leona!

But this child had a flesh and blood relationship with her, how could she allow the child to be taken away immediately after being born?

Imagining this scene, Leona could no longer calm down.

Although Archie only gave Leona a glance, he was already certain that this woman had fallen into his trap and could no longer resist.

Retreating to advance had always been one of his tricks.

"So what do you want to do?" Archie didn't give Leona time to think. "I'm very busy."

Leona looked down and thought for a moment, after all, she and Rick would never be able to return to the past.

She had no way out.

Just because she spent one night in a hotel with Archie, her grandmother had almost kicked her out of the house.

If news of the pregnancy spread to her hometown, she and her mother would be compl

    Although Leona didn't like this man, she had to admit that this man looked good, no matter what he ate.The person next to her also brought Leona a handkerchief. Leona reached out to take it, wiped her hands, and handed it back to the person.The person next to her also followed Archie's habit of pulling out three tissues in a row before handing it to Leona and pulling out her chair.Leona could only sit opposite Archie, hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, you don't need to come.Archie gracefully wiped the corners of his mouth and replied. "When I made the decision to marry you, it was already my obligation. Of course, it's just an obligation."Of course, Leona understood what Archie meant, and she stopped being pretentious and calmly ate the food the cook gave her.Archie looked out of the corner of his eye and said in a cold tone. "You've already eaten three pieces of salmon."Hearing this, the chef immediately removed the salmon plate from the dining table.Leona didn't kn

    After three consecutive days, Leona began to get used to Archie's arrival for dinner.Although Archie was unfamiliar at first, he gradually became more comfortable.As soon as he got off work, he went to the hospital to accompany Leona to dinner without waiting for Mrs. Nadine's insistence.Archie came early today, so it wasn't time for dinner yet.As soon as Archie got out of the car, he saw the woman in the glass box, picking roses with a smile on her face.From the first time he saw this woman, she was expressionless or silently crying.He never knew that this woman looked so beautiful when she smiled.In stark contrast to Oriana, Oriana had a flamboyant and sexy beauty, but she had a beauty that bloomed quietly, like the rose in her hand, which had a long-lasting fragrance and was worth remembering.Leona smiled and said to the sisters who followed her."This rose must be in a cool place for it to grow well. It likes shade and moisture. In fact, it is not good if it is exposed to

    "After a week of treatment, Miss Leona has no problems with her body. She just needs to strengthen her nutrition later before she can be discharged." The doctor said to Archie with a smile. "These are all physical data. Miss Leona can be discharged at any time."Archie just looked at the examination report and nodded. "Put it there."After the others left, Archie handed the report to Mrs. Nadine.Mrs. Nadine read the report very carefully and said. "Since you have no health problems, let's go to your house tomorrow to propose. Your belly is already getting bigger, so it's better to get married as soon as possible.Archie frowned slightly. "Grandma, don't be so hasty!"Leona didn't want to get married so soon. She always felt that once she got married, there was no way out!Mrs. Nadine looked at her grandson calmly. How could she not know what Archie was thinking? She just said lightly. "In ten days' time, our Belgian colleague and his wife will be visiting London. They want to meet yo

    Her grandmother Bertha pursed her lips and said. "Don't think that buying me ugly things can make up for the scandal you've committed! If you don't find it shameful, I still find it shameful. Really, your grandfather's family is coming tomorrow. There will be a ceremony, and Clara will be proposed to. If anything goes wrong, get out of Bertha's door. I don't want to lose this person because of you!"Leona didn't want to hear her grandmother's nagging again, but the purpose of her return today wasn't over yet.Leona took a deep breath. "Grandma, this time I came back to talk about my wedding. These things were bought by my boss's grandson in your honor, and the man from earlier was his driver."Leona stirred up Grandmother's anger with one sentence and extinguished her anger completely with one sentence."Your boss's grandson, who can afford so many precious things and has a chauffeur, must be richer than your ex, Rick."Bertha's eyes lit up, and she immediately made a calculation in h

    Leona had no time to rest, she immediately ran to the door to greet the arriving guests.When Leona arrived at the door, she saw a black Renault Triber car blocking the door of Bertha's house.Leona frowned slightly. The car was blocking the door, making it inconvenient for people coming and going.Before Leona could say anything, the man stopped the car and stepped on the gas pedal to announce his presence.It was just a Renault Triber. How cool is that?None of the cars owned by Leona's coworkers in her company cost less than $30,850.According to them, driving a car that costs less than $30,850 disrespects their status as employees of Manley's company!Leona saw a tall, thin boy get out of the car wearing street clothes that cost no more than $50.He said smugly to his fat mother. "This is Clara, Mom, do we really want to give her a gift of $4,320?"The fat man and mom smiled back."4,320 dollars is a lot! It's so hard to find money these days! I don't care how much money I give, s

    Each car is a limited edition and each car has a top configuration.The Bertha family's eyes widened.Clara put on an expression of disbelief, turned to the guard and said, "Mr. Guard, didn't you hear wrong? Are you sure it's Leona?"The guard looked at Clara with a half smile and said, "I'm not deaf to have misheard her name, am I?"It was then that Bertha finally came to her senses and remembered what Leona had said yesterday about getting married. At first, like Clara, she thought she was the new rich, but she didn't expect Leona's in-laws to be richer!Bertha suddenly held Leona's hand, smiled kindly, and said, "Yes, yes, Leona's family is blessed too! Grandma doesn't even know when you met such a rich person. My granddaughter! You never told Grandma that you have a boyfriend outside, do you want to surprise Grandma?"Leona and her mother, who just had no awareness of their existence and were about to be chased and beaten, instantly became Madame Bertha's favorite daughter-in-law

    Leona was very confused at the moment.She wanted her grandmother to make things difficult for the Manley family and make this marriage fail, but on the other hand, she also hoped that her grandmother would not make things difficult for her again and make it difficult for her to keep her head up.In fact, she knew very well that this marriage would still happen sooner or later, and she had no chance to run away.But subconsciously, she didn't want to give in to fate.Perhaps noticing Leona's seemingly nervous demeanor, Archie's eyes swept over Leona's face gently and a hint of darkness appeared in his eyes.Archie thought for a moment and slowed his pace.Indeed, Leona looked very confused.Was she afraid of herself?Was she afraid of her own power and status or what?Archie wanted to tell her not to be nervous, but somehow his words turned into... "It's not good for the child in your womb if you're too stressed."Leona was relieved, and she knew that the Manleys were possessive and t

Even a small scratch on the paint was enough to make them unable to eat or drink for the rest of their lives.When Clara saw that Leona had messed up her engagement, she was immediately overcome with envy, jealousy, and hatred.If there weren't so many people here, she would snatch that handsome man away from Leona!In the room, Mrs. Manley discussed the details with Mrs. Casandra, Leona's mother, and turned to her."Mrs. Casandra, do you have anything to add?" Mrs. Manley looked at Casandra.Before Casandra could speak, Bertha had already said, "What can she say? I have the right to make the f

The design of this dress is so good, if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't know you were pregnant."Leona smiled and replied, "Yes, I like this skirt too."Dona took the initiative to wear Leona's bracelet.A small bracelet, not very eye-catching, but this simple little look was very pretty.Xavier called, "Have you had breakfast? I'll be waiting at the door."Dona made a face as if it was true and said, "No wonder others say that most women who meet Xavier fall in love with him. Such a warm and caring man, you can't even think of not liking him!""Alright, we'll be right out." Leona didn't listen to what Dona said and hung up the phone quickly, saying to Dona, "You!

Ever since I was little, you worked hard to raise me by yourself, I don't need anyone else to protect me, I just want my mother to be happy." Leona interrupted Rose's words and said, "After all these years, ordinary days come and go, there's nothing wrong with that! I'm very happy."Rose smiled bitterly, "Actually, I found you that night, abandoned on the grass by the roadside with a bloodstained placenta, obviously just born. But that little blanket wrapped around you that I've always kept, maybe it's the proof you need to find your family!"Leona's body trembled.Sensing Leona's resistance, Rose stopped and said nothing. "Alright, I won't say anything if you don't want to hear it. I'm sorry I lied to you because I was afraid of losing you."Leona didn't answer, she lowered her head and closed her eyes.No matter what her true identity was, she also didn't want to know who her bio

Leona, you're actually..."Rose said a sentence that implied a secret.But right now no one was interested in hearing this secret from her.Rose's words were immediately cut off by Oriana. "Enough!
