Lisa's heart sank, and her lips pursed tightly. Taking a deep breath, she said, "I won't abort this child.""What? You're not going to abort the baby? Are you going to say you're not doing it for money? That you love Terry?" Glynnis cut to the chase."I've met a lot of women like you. You think you'll be able to marry into money by having a rich man's child. However, there's no shortage of children in wealthy families. Even if you give birth to your child, you won't get into the White family. Besides, no one knows if you're pregnant with Terry's child."Lisa suddenly broke into a smile. "A woman like me? Or are you talking about yourself?" she asked with a cheeky grin. Perhaps she should have been smarter and shown some weakness to Glynnis. Maybe she should have avoided causing this moment of discomfort, but no way would she comply with this crap. Lisa loved Terry, but that did not mean anyone could slander her like that. Glynnis might be Terry's mom, but saying her child was not
Lisa never thought Glynnis would try to harm her. She warned, "You'll be sentenced for this!""It'll be an accident and unintentional injury at most. Don't worry. My men are mentally prepared for this," Glynnis said calmly, a look of indifference in her eyes. Glynnis did not care about the life that would be lost even if this little life was related to her by blood.Glynnis remained seated on the couch as she sipped her tea and waited for the show to happen.Lisa tried to escape the room, but one of the men grabbed her, and the other swung his fist, ready to punch her in the belly."No!" She cried out frantically, desperate to protect the child in her belly. Despair colored her eyes as she saw the fist coming for her. Was this how her child would leave her? Her baby had survived several dangers and two signs of threatened miscarriage. Was this how she would lose her baby?!No! She would never allow this! It was her and Terry's baby!Lisa had no idea where she got the strength.
Glynnis slammed the teacup on the floor, angry at her son's attitude. Why was her son so concerned about Lisa? He sounded like he would let the baby be born. Wait, did Terry have plans to marry Lisa?! No way! Glynnis would never let a woman like Lisa marry into the White family! Something flickered across her eyes as she made up her mind. Her future daughter-in-law should be a lady from a prestigious family, not a commoner like Lisa. Letting someone like Lisa marry into the family would be her worst embarrassment! Meanwhile, outside the private club, Terry carried Lisa into the car and told the driver to drive to the hospital."What on earth did they do to you? Does it hurt?" Terry asked anxiously, only to find Lisa staring at him blankly."What are you looking at?""You came to save me! Y-You knew your mom wanted to see me…" Lisa stammered, her cheeks still red and swollen, so the pain stung more as she spoke. "Were you afraid your mom would hurt me? Is that why you came rushin
Terry glanced at Lisa and pursed his lips just slightly. Then, he drove Lisa directly to the White Residence. Lisa was a little worried that he had taken her to his home, and a look of hesitation and concern flashed across her face."Don't worry. My mom doesn't live here. She rarely comes here," Terry reassured. "Besides, I warned her to leave you alone. She won't hurt you, at least for now." "For now?" Lisa bit her lips. Would Terry's mother hurt her again? She was fine with confronting Glynnis, but she was afraid that the baby might get hurt again."Don't worry about the child. As long as you don’t get an abortion, the child will be born safely!" Terry promised.Startled, Lisa stared at Terry, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Are you willing to accept this child? Then—"Terry interrupted her. "The baby is mine. I'm bound to accept this child. But that doesn't mean I'm going to accept you." His words dimmed the light in her eyes, dousing her with cold water. Still, she
The baby… Was it Mr. White's?! The butler shuddered at this thought, only to realize this would be big news in Jorvik.Lisa then called her parents, omitting the fact that she had gotten beaten. She told them she was spending the night at Terry's, but in a separate room, of course. She also told her parents someone was coming to get her pregnancy pillow and requested them to give it to them.Austin and Hersha kept asking Lisa questions, but they still had no idea why their daughter was spending the night at Terry's house. But Lisa sounded relaxed, so maybe it was a good thing.When Terry's men came to pick up the pregnancy pillow, Hersha even told them to take the pastries she had made to Lisa.Terry looked at the stuff his men brought back, only to realize this was not just a pillow. It was a U-shape pillow, providing full-body support to the user. Lisa could sleep on any side with the pillow."You're going to sleep with a pillow like this?" Terry asked. "Yeah. My body will cha
It seemed Lisa still had him under her influence, and he could never break free! Terry thought, suddenly slamming the ointment back into Lisa's hand. "Do it yourself!" With that, and without waiting for her to react, he strode upstairs and into his room.Bang! The door closed with a loud thud. Terry leaned against the door, feeling defeated. He ruffled his hair, his mind a complete mess.Why? Why was he always so powerless with her?! Somehow, he would always willingly surrender to her control.At night, Lisa had dinner with Terry at White Residence. Lisa took a look at the variety of food. There were a lot of her favorite dishes served during dinner. Some of them were home-cooked dishes she loved in Solaria, and some were local specialties from Jorvik.It was not surprising to find the local specialties served here, but she did not expect to see Solarian food served. Only a chef familiar with Solaria dishes would be able to prepare these.Lisa enjoyed the food. She glanced at Terr
Lisa had once told him with a big smile, "Terry! I'll prepare a cake for you on your birthday every year, okay? I'll have a piece of your birthday cake every year until I lose all my teeth and my hair turns gray!""Every birthday? Are you sure you want to be with me and grow old together?""I thought you said we can't break up once in a relationship? Look, I'm not going to break up with you. I'll stay with you for the rest of my life.""Okay, you'd better stay with me for the rest of your life!"Terry could hear their laughter and warm conversation echoing in his ears. He never thought they would break up, and he had turned out to be the one who proposed the breakup."If you think you can wait, then go ahead and wait. But I don't know when I'll be back," Terry rasped.Lisa's face was less pale and pitiful, and her face finally brightened up with a small joy. "I'll wait for you! No matter how long it takes!" she said, grinning at him again. Her smile looked silly with her swollen
This woman… Lisa already had a pregnancy pillow, did she not? Why would she…Terry could not understand Lisa. Why would she break into a man's room in the middle of the night and act like this? Was she treating him as a statue with no feelings?!Just then, Lisa rolled over, bringing her closer to Terry. Lisa was so close that Terry could feel her breath brush his skin. He breathed in her heavenly scent, the lingering scent a test of his patience!After losing all hope in the relationship, Terry repeatedly told himself never to get his hopes up again. Even so, he realized he still missed her badly!"Lisa, do you realize I'm a man?!" Terry snapped his eyes and sat up sharply, glaring at the woman sleeping beside him. It was then he saw her sleeping position. She slept with the pregnancy pillow but extended her arms and legs so far that she was touching him.Lisa's eyes jolted open at Terry's roar, and she quickly sat up. "Y-You're awake?!""Even if I'm asleep, you'd wake me up!"
