Milly is currently caring for her mother, who is in the hospital, one month after the tragedy in the hotel room. They were observed lightly conversing. Milly felt her head throbbing and her stomach twisting all at once. She felt compelled to puke everything in her stomach. She also chose not to make a sound in front of her mother and instead went to the bathroom for a while. The girl immediately ran to the bathroom and tried to spit out her stomach contents, because Milly was feeling very nauseous at the time.
However, sadly, nothing came out of her mouth. She puked numerous times, leaving Milly stunned. The girl glanced in the mirror, pensively. It was as if she was asking herself a question."Wait! I've needed to vomit three times now. I'm also achy and have a bad headache. What is going on with me?" Milly inquired as she examined her reflection in the mirror. She was apprehensive and terrified because something had just occurred to her.Milly's hands were chilly, and her heart was racing. She had to confirm one notion that had occurred to her. The young lady dashed out of the restroom. Milly asked her mother for permission to go out for a while, saying she was going to buy something. Milly ended up going to the pharmacy. She purchased several tests.Although her heart was scared, she didn't want her anxieties to follow her.After arriving at the hospital, the girl went straight to the restroom. She purposefully used a public restroom so her mother wouldn't become suspicious. Millu also tested her pee quickly using a bought speak. Milly's heart was racing as she waited for the line to turn. She was terrified and worried all at the same time, which made her hands and feet feel chilly as if they had been scalded with ice.She picked up the task a few minutes later and fell limp on the toilet floor as she saw two lines printed there. Milly was expecting a child.A clear liquid poured forth and soaked her face. This was a blunder she didn't want to make. Milly had a brief moment of regret. Yet everything had changed, and she was now unsure what to do with the baby in her belly. The girl stood up, attempting to be tough and robust while searching for the best solution to her dilemma. One thing was certain: she couldn't tell her mother because it would jeopardize her mother's recovery.A middle-aged woman was observing her as she exited the restroom. Rebecca was her name. Arthur's mother's name.Rebecca has been purposefully learning about Milly over the last few days. Rebecca was shocked to learn that Arthur had broken up with Agatha because of the event at the hotel involving a girl named Milly. Rebecca's heart was filled with joy since Agatha and Arthur stopped their relationship without her interference.The middle-aged lady had always been critical of their relationship. But she also didn't want Arthur to despise her for attempting to destroy her son's connection with Agatha.But who would have guessed? Agatha, it seems out, dug her own grave until their connection came to a halt. Rebbeca approached Milly, who was seated on the waiting bench with the task in her hand, without hesitation. Milly didn't realize she was holding the type out of the bathroom because she was too astonished. Thankfully, there were few people along the corridor, so no one caused a scene.She sat sluggishly, staring at the flat item. The tension was crushing her chest, and her mind came to a halt as she faced this fact. Milly believed that God was messing with her fate. Instead, a fetus was there at a time when she was battling to fight for her mother's recovery."Why are you sad?" Rebecca inquired, unexpectedly standing in front of Milly. She quickly hid the thespian in her hand, a fake smile on her face."Oh, Mistress. I'm perfectly alright," Milly responded, embarrassed.Rebecca grinned at the girl's flushed cheeks. The middle-aged woman sat next to the girl, taking responsibility for her wait."Are you pregnant?" Rebbeca inquired, immobilizing Milly. Rebecca appeared to have noticed her action.Milly remained mute as she looked down. Soon after, she nodded her head, admitting that everything Rebecca asked was true."I am, indeed, pregnant.""So why are you sad?" Rebecca inquired. She sought to get information from the girl next to her."I'm at a loss on what to do about this pregnancy. Because this fetus arrived at an inopportune time. I didn't expect him to be born into this world, either." Rebecca gasped as Milly continued regretfully. Milly's decision took the middle-aged woman by surprise. Even though her granddaughter was in the girl's stomach."Why do you think that way? You are free to marry the father of my future child. Isn't that a gift worth preserving?" Rebecca inquired.Milly cynically chuckled at the middle-aged woman's question. If Milly had met the perfect man and spent the night with the one she loved at the time, she might have asked him to marry her as well. Yet this was a different story, and it was far from what she had expected."I can't do that," Milly remarked."Why?" Rebecca inquired, still trying to elicit information from the girl."Because I don't love him, and his father doesn't love me either. As a result, we can't be together. He also will not accept this baby because everything that happened was an error." Milly responded with a shaky voice and obvious sadness.Rebecca held her breath as she realized this was a sad reality. The middle-aged man, on the other hand, desired the child in the womb because it was his grandchild. She had been longing for children. Rebecca remained silent because she had yet to announce herself as Arthur's mother. As Milly had to return to her mother's ward, their chat came to an end. *** Arthur was swamped with work at the workplace. At this same time, his secretary walked in and informed him that Agatha wanted to see him. The man groaned angrily as he kicked his desk, startling the secretary and making her glance down in terror."I told you not to let her in here. Simply tell her I don't want to see her anymore and to stop calling!""Sir, yes. Miss Agatha, on the other hand, is waiting outside."Arthur rubbed his sore temples. He believed that if he ended his relationship with Agatha, everything would be over. Yet she kept chasing him and disrupting his day, which irritated Arthur."Then contact security. Make her leave. I don't want to see her again, no matter what. Please hurry!" Arthur stated unequivocally.Finally, the secretary left. Arthur reclined back in his enormous chair, staring at the office ceiling. It was obvious that what Agatha had done a month before had been a huge mistake. He chose to discontinue the connection since Agatha had gone too far in allowing her to become engaged.Arthur tried to concentrate on his task, but this is what happened. Agatha pursued him and disrupted his daily life. Arthur was occasionally irritated with himself for having to deal with her.Arthur grumbled as he heard a knock on the door. He was about to reprimand the person on the other side of the door because he mistook her for his secretary. Rebecca turned proved to be the culprit. The man suppressed the harsh remarks ready to be uttered and inquired as to why his mother was present."I've met the woman, Arthur. Is her name Milly?" Rebecca inquired, her face bright. Arthur sat next to his mother on the sofa."What's wrong, Mum?" Arthur inquired, surprised. He assumed his mother had ceased worrying him about what had happened a month before."She's pregnant," Rebecca said, but Arthur's heart leaped out of his chest and back into place. The man was taken aback and speechless."What do you mean?" Arthur inquired, causing Rebecca to sigh bitterly."She's pregnant with your kid," Rebecca said abruptly, clutching her son's hand hard."Yet she seemed to want to terminate the pregnancy," Rebecca added, making Arthur tense.The man's emotions were conflicted as he received the news from his mother. It was surprising. Because he assumed that after that occurrence, Arthur would have nothing to do with Milly. But who would have guessed? God revealed his seed in Milly's womb, which Rebecca was now anticipating."Arthur, I want Milly's unborn child. I desperately want grandchildren. So, are you going to marry Milly?" Rebbeca persuaded them."Invite her to marry you. Please," Rebecca spoke with a hopeful tone and a begging expression on her face.Arthur remained silent. He considered how it would go for a time. If he married Millu, even though the man did not love the girl. But Arthur had another thought as well. Right now, he was bothered by Agatha's visit and her desire to rekindle their relationship. Arthur reasoned that he might avoid Agatha by using Milly. It may appear sinister, but given that her mother has sent her grandchildren, it would be an intriguing and mutually advantageous strategy."That's fine, Mom. I'll attempt to speak with Milly." Arthur finally made his decision. Will Milly listen to Arthur's reasoning?Silence. Two people who had previously agreed not to meet were now facing each other in this packed café. They were both silent, with none of them initiating the dialogue. Milly, in particular, had no intention of saying hi or inquiring about the man in front of her.Milly had been taken aback by Arthur's appearance and had not expected the man to unexpectedly request her to meet after a month of not seeing each other. Arthur advised me not to contact him again.Milly still felt horrible about what transpired that night in front of Agatha. Even though everything was her friend's idea, Milly had no face to meet Arthur or her friend.The stern-faced man gave Milly that stare. He had no idea that the actions of that night would result in the formation of a seed in Milly's womb. In truth, Arthur had never expected the incident to lead to such a long-term problem. But what could be said? Rebbecca desired the kid in Milly's womb after everything that had occurred.Arthur also believed that
"Arthur, what did you do? You visited my mother in the hospital and told her everything? Didn't you consider how my mother would react?" Milly inquired as to the conclusion of her chat with her mother.Arthur had excused himself at that point, but the man swiftly opted to pursue Arthur, demanding an explanation.Milly was furious by this point. Emotions were rising inside her chest. Arthur took a breather, seemingly cool in the face of an enraged Milly. Arthur encouraged Milly to sit down and converse for a while. It doesn't sound nice, because it's still in a hospital environment. Yet Arthur would reveal his plans for their contract marriage."Why are you sitting there, Arthur? What are you thinking? What is your goal?" inquired Milly, desiring a proper answer. Because she didn't grasp the man's point of view.Arthur could have let her live blissfully with the baby in her womb if he had wanted to. But he went to such lengths to obtain her approval."This contract marriage will do you
"So, how is it, Darling? Are you prepared to marry?" Rebecca enquired about Milly and Arthur.They were both deafeningly silent, and neither dared to speak. Earlier, Agatha had arrived to sabotage things, accusing Milly of everything and anything until the woman was traumatized and contemplating ending the marriage.Arthur appeared to be at ease. He stood up, shrugging his shoulders in front of Rebecca."Ma'am, the sooner the better for me. Instead of Milly's pregnancy growing and becoming another issue for us. As you are aware, correct? Many journalists want to know about my personal life. As a result, I decided to hold this wedding as soon as possible."Rebecca smiled cheerfully, knowing it would be simple to persuade Arthur to marry Milly. She was overjoyed because she would soon have the grandchildren she had longed for for so long.The middle-aged woman's gaze shifted to Milly, who was still silent with a doubtful expression. The fear in her eyes was palpable, and Arthur could tel
"Thank you."Milly said that before getting out of Arthur's car.However, her movement was halted when the man called her name instead."Why don't you go home? Are you trying to keep me from knowing your home?"Milly turned her head. She looked at Arthur with tired eyes."My mom is in the hospital. There's no way I'm going home. Later, even after I get married, I'll spend a lot of time there."Arthur was silent. He seemed to have just realized this girl's situation."Okay."Milly immediately got out of the car. Meanwhile, Arthur watched her depart from the car.There was a sudden curiosity about how Milly's life had become like this.However, Arthur quickly dispelled that thought."That's none of my business. The important thing is that the baby can be mine."Arthur left immediately. He had to focus on his work.***"Are you home?" asked Agnes, Milly's mother.The girl, who had been daydreaming, gasped.She turned to her mother with a bright smile."Yes, ma'am. Sorry for taking so lon
Milly staggered out of the café. Some of the guests were still gossiping about them. But Milly didn't care.She couldn't keep quiet. Although she felt bad for Agatha, Milly couldn't back down. This wedding had to be held.On the way back to the hospital, Milly was silent as she stared at the road. Her mind kept wandering, imagining what would happen if she was with Arthur.He would definitely treat her badly. But, then again. She had no choice but to marry Arthur.Arriving at the hospital, Agnes was being examined. She chose to wait outside while sitting on a waiting chair. She looked down, fiddling with her fingers.Then, her eyes gasped when she saw a pair of shiny shoes in front of her. Milly immediately looked up and was shocked to see Arthur in front of her, staring intently. "Arthur? You... what are you doing here?" asked Milly, her body slowly standing up. Until she and the man stood face to face, very close.Arthur was still staring intently at Milly, until the man's firm han
"But, my mom is still sick. Shouldn't we wait until she gets a little better?""No. I don't want to buy any more time. I don't want to take any risks. What if Agatha hurts you? Or she hurts the child in your womb? Aren't you thinking far ahead, Milly?"The woman fell silent. Hearing Arthur's last sentence, her hand reflexively stroked her flat stomach.The man's words were true. What she feared was not Milly, but the safety of their baby."But, what about my mom?"Arthur sat down at her side with a deep sigh. "I'm sure your mom will agree. We'll make a live broadcast, so your mother can see our wedding on video."Milly turned around with sparkling eyes. Seeing that, Arthur again fell silent. He seemed mesmerized by her innocent face and beautiful eyes."Is that true?" asked Milly, breaking Arthur's reverie."Yes, I assure you it is. So, it's been decided that we'll have the wedding tomorrow."***Rebbeca was surprised to hear that Arthur had asked to be prepared for his wedding to Mi
"Mom, I'm just an ordinary woman. While Arthur is a famous person. How can I marry him? What will people think?"These were some of Milly's worries among the many fears she had about becoming the wife of a famous businessman like Arthur.Agnes smiled as she gently rubbed her daughter's head."I know your worries, Milly. But, you must be sure that Arthur and his family will not let you suffer because of the bad people out there. I'm also sure that Arthur's family will treat you very well. Your job is to be a good wife, an obedient daughter-in-law and a loving mother. I'm sure that will make you happy."Milly was silent. Her mother's words were true, but difficult to do. Maybe if she became an obedient daughter-in-law and a loving mother, Milly could try. But being a good wife? That couldn't happen. Her mother would never know, this marriage would only last as long as she carried her child."Already, don't think weird. You have to be happy, including your child."Milly gave her best smi
"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-
"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
"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
"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.
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
"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
"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
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, 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.
