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!"
A moment later, Terry heard a soft whisper in his ear."Terry, why don't I stay here until your birthday is over? My face should be less swollen by then, and we can have a cake together after you return from your birthday party."Terry did not answer, but Lisa was happy with it. He did not outright reject her, which meant he was okay with it.-Terry's birthday party had been the talk of the city lately. Many of the unmarried ladies from high society had received invitations to attend his birthday party in Jorvik. Some even said that this was not just a simple birthday party. It was a party to select Terry's future wife.Although White Maple Group was prospering, some rich and powerful families had concerns with Glynnis Quirk, mainly because of her unhonorable history. Terry had taken over the power and become the head of the White family, but his mother was just a mistress in the White family. Even so, marrying Terry would benefit any woman's family a lot!The party was lively.
The party was still going on, and a smile spread across Glynnis' face as she watched her son heading over toward the lounge on the second floor with slightly flushed cheeks.Everything was going just as she had hoped, and Allyssa Tucker was already waiting in the lounge on the second floor. The marriage between the White and Tucker family would be final after tonight, and Lisa would have nothing to do with it.As Glynnis counted the time in her mind, she sipped her wine, exchanging pleasantries with the party guests. A loud noise suddenly came from the second floor, followed by a deafening silence in the crowd.The guests looked at each other with confusion on their faces, wondering what was going on.Glynnis forced a smile on her face and went to the second floor to check things out. She arrived at the second floor, only to find two of Terry's men standing in front of the lounge. Ms. Tucker was supposed to be in the lounge, and the two men she had assigned to guard the door were n
