"What, honeymoon, ma'am?"Rebecca chuckled at the nickname mentioned by Milly."Call me Mother, not Madam. You'll be my daughter-in-law, Milly."The woman looked awkward about changing her nickname. However, she did what Rebecca told her to do."Okay, Mother.""Good. So, where do you want to go on your honeymoon? I'll grant you that. Think of it as me pleasing my future grandchild in the womb."Milly was silent. Seeing Rebecca's enthusiastic face, she remembered Arthur's words. It was true, this middle-aged woman wanted a grandchild so badly, it was like this."Milly?""Ah, yes, ma'am?""Why are you daydreaming? Is there something wrong?"Milly immediately shook her head. "No, ma'am. I... I was just thinking, there's no need for a honeymoon.""Why?""I'm pregnant, my mom's sick. Plus Arthur must be busy with his work. So, it's better here. I'd rather be here."Rebecca was silent. This was in stark contrast to Agatha who was always pulling for Arthur. Indeed, Milly was a good daughter-
Arthur walked slowly, but his gaze was terrifying. Like an animal ready to pounce on its enemy."Don't pretend, Agatha! Tell me, what did you do to Milly?"Hearing Milly's name mentioned, the woman's body jerked. The feeling of hatred came back."What happened to her? Did she tell you something bad? You should know, I've known you longer than Milly.""Longer acquaintance does not guarantee knowing her true nature, Agatha. I'm grateful that with recent events, I've been able to find out what you're like."Agatha was getting more and more confused with the direction of the man's conversation. Just as she was about to speak up, Arthur suddenly showed her the video on his cell phone.Agatha's face immediately paled. Apparently, this was about her fight with Milly the other day. She thought Arthur would take her side. But why did Agatha think it would end in a fight?"You really are a shameful woman, Agatha! In a public place, you humiliated Milly whom you had framed. Then, what else are y
"What's wrong with Agatha? Is she bothering Milly?" asked Rebecca when she heard her son threaten Agatha.Arthur immediately shook his head. It was a good thing that he had ordered people to remove the video from various websites, including removing the account that first spread the video. Otherwise, Rebecca might have seen what happened to Milly by now."No, mom. I'm just afraid she's done something bad to Milly."Unfortunately, Agatha didn't take her word for it. She even searched her son's face."You're not lying, are you?""Oh my God, Mom. Why would I lie? I mean it."Rebecca let out a long breath. "All right. Don't lie to me, Arthur. Remember, my earlier conditions still apply.""What?!"Arthur had lost track of their conversation. This was costing him dearly. While he and Milly would be divorced if their child was born, how could that be?"Mom, is that too much?""Outrageous? Oh, no, Arthur. It's only fair, for my grandson's sake too."Arthur clucked loudly. He walked over and s
"Good afternoon, Miss Milly.""Afternoon? Who, huh?"The woman gave the two men in suits a wary look, fearing that they were bad people."We are Lord Arthur's messengers. We're going to fetch Miss.""Huh?"The fear instantly turned into shock. Who would have thought that Arthur would send two messengers who were mistaken for criminals."Arthur? Are you sure? Or are you trying to trick me?"Milly couldn't believe it. Especially considering that Arthur was a businessman who probably had a lot of enemies."Of course, Miss. Are you not sure about us?" one of them asked.Milly scanned their looks with a probing gaze. Then, she shook her head slowly.The two people dressed all in black looked at each other for a moment, then someone made a call. It didn't take long for the person to hand Milly her cell phone.She was confused at first, but immediately put the phone to her ear."Hello?""Come with them. We meet in ten minutes."That was Arthur's voice. The man didn't even give her a chance t
The boutique owner and Milly went back inside. I don't know how many times she'd changed wedding dresses, but none of them had been chosen by Arthur. The boutique owner was confused, because he thought Milly was very beautiful. In fact, she looked like an angel descending from the sky if she wore all the dresses he had chosen.Actually, Arthur was of the same opinion. However, he didn't like seeing Milly looking beautiful like that. Moreover, his heart beat very fast when he saw Milly's beauty.It was good that she looked ordinary. All for the sake of Arthur's brain and heart."Sorry, sir. This is already the 10th dress. Isn't there anything suitable for Miss Milly? I think--""Change!" exclaimed Arthur, interrupting the man.The boutique owner was confused. He was about to speak up, but was immediately interrupted by Arthur."Find a normal dress. No need to be fancy and pretty! I want her to look ordinary.""What?!"The boutique owner and Milly were shocked to hear that. They even lo
"Aw! What are you doing? Why are you hitting me all of a sudden?!" exclaimed Arthur suddenly, as Rebecca hit him on the shoulder. Arthur rubbed the marks from his mother's punch. Meanwhile, the doctor who saw it also seemed to be silent. Wanting to laugh is also afraid of becoming a big problem."How could I not hit you? What are you doing to my daughter-in-law, huh?!" exclaimed Rebecca. Even though Milly was not yet a daughter-in-law, Rebecca had already said that. "What did I do?" asked Arthur not feeling guilty. AlreadyObviously because of that man, Milly was exhausted and almost had a miscarriage. "I've heard everything. You forced her to change her dress many times, didn't you? Until she was exhausted. Didn't you think about the safety of the child in the womb?!" Rebecca snapped in front of the doctor and nurse, leaving Arthur speechless and looking down. This was really embarrassing. The man's face turned red. For the first time Arthur was yelled at by his mother in public.
"I don't know, ma'am. I actually don't know Arthur very well either. Because he was Agatha's boyfriend before, so I really still can't recognize his true nature," said Milly, finally choosing to say something like that.She didn't want to give Rebecca such high hopes, fearing that the middle-aged woman would feel disappointed if the results weren't what she wanted.Rebecca smiled faintly, stroking Milly's arm. "You'll eventually get to know his true nature. Yes, it may not be entirely good, but if he loves you that much, then Arthur would really do anything for you. He will even obey you," the middle-aged woman said, making Milly smile stiffly.How could that man possibly love her? Even now Milly had to prepare to lose everything, including the child in her womb. Just thinking about it made Milly feel sick, it would be more agonizing than parting ways with a partner. Because her child lived in the womb for several months. "That's it, you don't think about anything. Now rest. As for
"Are you crazy?! You think I'm a guy who pranks pregnant women? No." "Then tell me. Come up with a clearer reason why you're making me suffer by changing dresses? Our marriage is private anyway. It doesn't matter if I wear any dress," said Milly, annoyed. Because Arthur didn't give a clear reason. She just wanted to know what this man was thinking, to make him exhausted. Even though it was clear that there was a child in Milly's womb, Arthur was making stupid things like this.The man was silent, giving Milly a long look. How could he be honest, his pride would collapse if he knew about the truth. "You don't need to know, I'm doing this for our own good." "What? Don't be ridiculous! I know from Agatha that you're a perfectionist, but didn't you torture me earlier?" asked Milly, making her silent. Hearing Agatha's name, her heart burned. True, he was usually a perfectionist. Even when he was with Agatha, Arthur would give her a very beautiful dress, intentionally to look charming
"Thankfully the baby is fine. Fortunately, she was taken to the hospital immediately. If not, she might have lost the baby by now. I've already given you some medicine to strengthen the womb. Please take good care of your wife. You should be grateful that Mrs. Milly was so strong to endure the pain. Otherwise, your wife might be in critical condition right now," the doctor said, leaving Arthur speechless.Her face suddenly turned pale. Her heart almost gave out at what the doctor had just said. It meant that a few seconds too late, she might have to grieve. Not only would he lose his baby, but also his inheritance and the important position Arthur had held. Just the thought of losing him made Arthur feel scared.What if it came true?"Please take good care of your wife. Make sure she doesn't have a lot on her mind and is tired. That is the main thing, especially since this is the first trimester. It is very prone for pregnant women to miscarry if she is tired or has a lot on her mind.
"Aw, it hurts," Milly complained, holding her stomach. The men were shocked. They tried to sober themselves up due to the influence of alcohol. Frightened, the two of them didn't say anything and chose to leave. Fortunately, one of them was semi-conscious and chose to pull her friend. Otherwise, there might have been an unwanted incident there.Fortunately, one of them was half-aware and chose to pull his friend away. Otherwise, there might have been something untoward going on there. Meanwhile Milly continued to grimace in pain. She really didn't know what to do. She tried to stand up, but she couldn't stand it. Her legs shook violently, her lower abdomen ached.At a time like this, there was no other choice but to call Arthur. Because there was no one she knew in this place.With shaking hands, the woman called her husband. Arthur didn't pick up at first, but as his cell phone continued to vibrate, the man finally woke up. He frowned when he saw Milly's name on the screen. Arthur
Tonight Agatha tried to fall asleep. She seemed to get an injection of enthusiasm, figuring out how to find Arthur's status in Rebecca's family. Meanwhile, at this time elsewhere Arthur and Milly were silent to each other. There was some time difference here, so they were still taking an afternoon stroll on the beach. For a few minutes, no one made a sound. Milly was at a loss as to what to say to the man. Their previous conversation had left Milly at a loss, not knowing what to do. She didn't mean to restrain or tell Arthur to stay away and change his behavior. She only asked Arthur to follow the boundaries that had been agreed upon, but apparently the man thought otherwise. Moreover, Milly had to think about Arthur's request for a contract change.Would she be able to live all these years and marry Arthur? While he was so arrogant and selfish. Milly must be very constrained. She was sure that even after returning from here, he would impose restrictions and strict rules on her or
Upon reaching the hospital, Rebecca saw that Agnes was already in the ICU. The doctor was trying to stabilize Agnes' condition. Milly's mother had complications, so it was possible for her heart to go into overdrive when she heard shocking news or something that would stress Agnes out. Rebecca waited worriedly. She thought badly, what if Agnes was really gone and Milly would be devastated or perhaps blame Arthur for everything that happened to the middle-aged woman? She couldn't calm down. Aldo, who saw her, didn't know what to do. She didn't dare say anything, afraid of saying the wrong thing and making the problem worse. Until not long after, the doctor came out of the ICU. Rebecca immediately approached the doctor."Doc, what's wrong? Why did Agnes suddenly have to be rushed to the ICU? Did something bad happen?" asked the middle-aged woman, worried.Two bodyguards had been stationed in front of Agnes' room. This was all to calm Milly's heart so that she could be sure that her mo
"It's okay, I was just surprised. You suddenly asked me that. What happened to Milly?" Agnes asked suddenly, which made Agatha pause.She was astonished that this woman would even ask her back, as if she didn't know anything. She was getting more and more confusing for Agatha. Could it be that this middle-aged woman really didn't know about Milly's relationship with Arthur or chose to cover everything up? This is still ambiguous and needs to be questioned again."Tante, don't you know anything? I haven't seen Mila for a while. We've had a problem that's caused me and Milly to fall out." "Is your relationship strained?" asked Agnes in shock, because Milly had never said anything about their relationship. Agnes thought Milly was fine, but there seemed to be a big problem that her daughter was covering up. "What happened between you? Was there a big fight or was there a problem that you misunderstood?" Agnes asked curiously. However, her heart was really struggling. Even though she
Agatha breathed a sigh of relief when she was let in by the receptionist on duty. Actually, some of the people on guard were suspicious because it shouldn't be visiting hours, but Agatha said she had something to tell Milly's mother. So they had to let her in. The woman even said that it was between life and death, so the nurse could do nothing but allow Agatha to visit. Of course, under the supervision of the hospital. Although this was a bit burdensome for Agatha, but at least the woman could break in. She would have a heart-to-heart talk with Agnes, hoping that her friend's mother would understand that Milly had done something out of line. When she entered Agnes' room, she saw that the middle-aged woman was asleep. Agatha looked around the room, this was a VVIP class. It even looked very nice and comfortable to live in even if it wasn't for a sick person.For some reason the woman immediately smiled sarcastically. This must all be Arthur's doing, because there was no way Milly c
For some reason now Milly felt that Arthur was looking for her faults. The look on the man's face suddenly changed, making Milly wonder if maybe this was because of his rejection of the marriage agreement that the man wanted to change? But she didn't want to impose her will. She wanted to live life to her heart's desire, without coercion or agreements that made it difficult for her to move."Why are you silent? You ask me why I've changed and then you ignore me?" Arthur asked, making Milly gasp.The woman seemed to be pulled from her reverie. She cleared her throat and closed her eyes a few times. Trying to calm her heart and stay focused on the current conversation."Yes, that's right. Why are you keeping me quiet? Is it because of the marriage contract that I didn't agree to?" Milly asked, to the point.She didn't want to conjecture and stress her mind. This would be dangerous for the child in the womb."Actually, yes, but that's just one of the reasons why I chose to be silent whe
Davinson seemed to think for a moment. He didn't know what Milly was like, but it seemed that he had other ideas in order to benefit more from the plan Agatha had given him. "How about it, huh? I actually don't like cute girls. We don't know each other yet anyway. Do you think I'll like her?" asked Davinson fishing for honesty from Agatha.He wanted to know if it was true that Milly was a better woman than Agatha and satisfying in bed. Because according to him, a cute woman is stiff and cannot be invited to play more wildly. Agatha let out a long sigh. She looked away for a moment, then looked back at the man with seriousness."I wouldn't be saying all this if it wasn't true. I assure you." Davinson did not immediately answer again. He thought for a moment, it was too disadvantageous for him if it turned out that he was not satisfied with Milly. Surely the man would feel at a loss, so he would ask for something else that could be doubly profitable. "How about if I get Milly, but y
Since the incident at the beach, Arthur has been silent. He was confused about what to say and what to do to the pregnant woman. Because for him, whatever he did must be meaningless in Milly's eyes. More precisely useless, because Milly did not feel flattered or carried away by what Arthur did.Either he had the wrong strategy or Milly didn't have any feelings for Arthur, until the woman didn't care at all about whatever the man had been fighting for.Later that evening, Arthur took Milly to dinner at a fancy restaurant. This time he wouldn't tell her anything about the contract. It might take a while for Milly to answer all of Arthur's requests. His job here now was to make her comfortable and not let Mike see her mistreat Milly. If that happened, then Rebecca would be back to calling him and terrorizing him with all kinds of questions and threats. The food was already available. Even now Arthur was cutting the steak that was already available. "No need, Arthur. I can cut it mysel
