"What? Wait, what did you just say? A child? Is she pregnant?" Gretta was the first to react and shouted at him."Mom, it's not important. Anyway, you don't want her as a daughter-in-law anymore, so why care about the child in her belly?" Edward said casually."Kid, stop right there!" Filippo regained his senses at this moment and shouted loudly. "Are you telling the truth? Is she pregnant?""If you don't believe me, you can call a doctor or do a test." Edward replied, shrugging. His father, Filippo, was shocked and surprised to hear this."But how is that possible? Didn't the doctor say you could never have a child?""Yes, he did, but the truth is, am I not in front of you now? So, do you want this grandchild or not? I'll send her away tomorrow if you don't want it." Edward began to threaten them."Yes, of course we want it." Gretta was afraid he would send her away, so she quickly replied. While she spoke, she even pushed Filippo a bit, allowing him t
Lowering her head, she explained to them with an apologetic expression."Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Edward was late because of me; I usually wake up feeling nauseous.""Miss Savas, right?" Gretta saw that she had a good view and understood what she was saying, so she raised her eyebrows slightly with a proud look on her face. "We came back late at night, so we didn't have time to talk to you. I heard from Edward that you two got married in secret, right?" Clarice vaguely understood the disapproval in her tone and opened her mouth to explain, but then heard Edward say from the side."As for this matter, didn't I mention it yesterday? I didn't tell you because I wanted to surprise you both...""Be quiet; I'm talking to Miss Savas." Gretta didn't like that her son protected his new wife like this, so she couldn't help but scold him."Ma'am, you can call me Clary, and when Edward and I got married, we were really wrong not to inform both of you in advance. Logical
"Lady Gretta, I'm sorry, but the reason I'm not eating is not because of the chef, but because of me. I haven't been feeling well lately, so I end up getting very nauseous, and that's why I can't eat anything.""What do you mean you can't eat anything? You have to remember that you're not eating for yourself, but for the child in your belly, so I'll ask the chef to use less sunflower oil next time.""Madame, there's no need, really..." When Clarice said this, she felt nauseous, so she immediately covered her mouth and felt the vomit coming back, and Edward, who was beside her, immediately helped her up and led her to the bathroom.Gretta watched as they left, her heart full of concern."Why is she having such a strong reaction? If she doesn't eat, she'll end up malnourished! And it will be dangerous for her child!""Woman, just take her to the hospital in the afternoon for a maternity check-up, and tell Beatrice to find the best nutritionist in tow
"What's the matter, son? Are you not satisfied with the marriage your grandfather arranged for you?" the grandfather asked, sensing something was amiss with his mood."Even without your arrangements, I would still have married Agnes. However, there's something I need to tell you. Agnes and I are moving to my mansion by the creek next weekend. I hope you can agree to that!" Nicholas replied."So soon?" The grandfather knew Nicholas wouldn't stay in the mansion, but he didn't expect his grandson to move so quickly. He thought they would at least stay for a month."I don't want to be a bother," Nicholas said, a hint of pain passing through his eyes. The grandfather understood who he was referring to and let out a long sigh, offering a comforting smile."Your mother, isn't it?" he spoke almost in a whisper. "But it's okay. Just promise me that Agnes will visit us frequently. I've heard through the mansion walls that your mother really likes her.""I know, I'll tell Agnes that," Nicholas s
When Olivia suddenly heard this news, she felt angry and jealous at the same time. The second son of the family had a grandson before her? After thinking for a moment, she laughed."So, she got pregnant before the wedding?" Olivia asked. "I'm not saying that's a problem, but you being happy about it is a bit strange. If anyone overhears that your nephew's wife isn't strict in teaching, that wouldn't be good." After saying this, she turned to look at Clarice, only to realize that she always had her head bowed, seeming weak and timid, lacking the presence of a lady from a noble family. "Speaking of upbringing, which family does your daughter-in-law belong to? If I'm not mistaken, her name is Savas, right? Does our city have a sect with the surname Savas?" When she said these words, the satisfied look on Gretta's face instantly disappeared, and her expression darkened.When no one answered that question, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and Edward wanted to speak up to refute some wo
He knew that she was very good at using her weak appearance to deceive people, and he wouldn't be fooled again, not anymore!"Please, Nicholas... let me go!" Her voice trembled as her brows were furrowed in intense pain from her fingers, and she bit her lower lip, enduring the pain."Let you go?" Nicholas laughed, not only releasing her hand but holding it even more tightly than before. "It seems you haven't figured out who is in charge of this family. You think my uncle, Edward, is the boss? You're mistaken; I am the owner of this family!"As he spoke, he wrapped his other arm around her waist, instantly pressing her body against his, and his slightly cold thin lips kissed her pale ones, and a familiar sweet sensation spread between their lips.Clarice was frightened; the bathroom door wasn't closed, and someone could enter at any moment. If anyone saw them acting like this, it would surely cause a great uproar. So, she tried to resist, but her scalded h
His touch made Clarice's face instantly turn red. She took a step to the side, trying to distance herself from him, but the sharp pain in her feet made her inhale a cold breath; she dared not move. They stood in front of the sink, and if he didn't leave, she wouldn't be able to escape. Fortunately, the servant didn't take long to return with a chair."Madame, please, sit here so I can take off your shoe," said the servant, helping her to sit and crouching in front of her. Nicholas, standing beside her, realizing he had nothing to do, prepared to leave when the servant called him."Mr. President, could you assist Madame Savas? Her feet are burnt and swollen, and it will be difficult for her to take off her shoes. I'm afraid of hurting her if you move randomly.""No... No need, I won't move," Clarice refused without hesitation."No need?" Nicholas originally didn't want to help, but Clarice's immediate refusal made him unhappy. His eyebrows raised as he spoke to the servant, "Bento, ple
"It's nothing, I accidentally spilled hot tea water, don't worry," Clarice said with a smile, pretending to be fine, but Edward knew that she was clearly in pain."You're clearly in pain, Clarice. Why do you say not to worry?" Edward's eyes were filled with concern, and without saying a word, he walked towards her, picked her up, and carried her towards the exit.At that moment, Gretta also came out of the corridor, seeing the situation, she immediately called out."Edward, where are you going?""Mother, Clarice is not well; she spilled hot water on herself, so I'm taking her to the hospital to get it checked out." Edward replied without turning his head back, and Gretta realized that Clarice's burn was probably worse than she thought, so she turned to Bento and asked."I told you to apply the ointment to her, why is he going to the hospital?" After she spoke, Bento lowered his head and answered carefully."Madam, I did as you instructed, but Mrs. Savas is severely burned, and there a
