Richard saw Olivia holding her phone and silently wiping her tears.It was too odd.He quickly went to her and anxiously asked, "Why are you crying on a call? Who made you angry? Tell me, and I'll punish them for you!"Olivia choked out while holding her phone, "Richard, you're going to be a great-grandfather! Holls is pregnant!"Richard was stunned. "What? Holls is pregnant?""That's right. She's finally pregnant." Olivia wiped her tears with the back of her hand. "Thank goodness. The Gabelman family lives on."Richard, who had never shown much emotion, got excited as well.He pinched his nose to stop it from running.Then, he spoke emotionally, "As I've told you, Bryce will gain happiness after overcoming his biggest obstacles in life. "Although his life was in danger multiple times after the accident three years ago, he managed to survive. He even managed to stand up two years after marrying Holls. "Now, he's becoming a dad. He sure is fortunate."Olivia burst out in te
Olivia's face fell instantly. "What's with that attitude, you brat? Aren't you happy that you're going to be a granddad?"Arthur said in annoyance, "I'm busy here. We'll talk after I'm done with work."Olivia then hung up the call angrily.On the other side, Arthur threw his phone on the table and started massaging his temples.Abraham was sitting in front of Arthur, and his face darkened immediately when he heard the news.He threw the documents in his hands onto the table.Then, he said angrily, "You promised you would matchmake Bryce with Samantha. Now that Holly is pregnant, are they still getting a divorce?"Arthur frowned. "I tried. I brought them together using work as an excuse so that there was an opportunity for them to be together. However, Bryce and Holly would just get back together again. How could you blame me for that?""I don't care. Samantha is my only daughter, and I love her the most. You better think of something quickly and not make her sad."Arthur suppr
Holly almost cried because of Sherry's action.Sherry was like the sweet rain that came just in time and caught everyone off guard.Her sudden move felt better than slapping Arthur on the spot.As expected, Arthur was speechless because of the sudden rain.He lowered his gaze and stared at the divorce papers. No words came out of his mouth.His face darkened—darker than the clouds during a storm.Holly smiled at Bryce.She was telling him how awesome Sherry was.Bryce smirked and wrote in her palm, "We planned this."Holly finally understood what was happening.It turned out that Bryce and Sherry had predicted Arthur would do that, so they came up with a plan in advance.However, Holly figured that Bryce would still be sad because of Arthur's announcement.The disappointment in his eyes earlier was real.He was frustrated, and even Holly could feel it.Seeing how Arthur kept quiet for a long time, Sherry lost her patience.She tapped on the table with her index finger an
She was still angry after that rant.Olivia glanced at Bryce from the side and complained, "I don't even know how you tolerated Samantha last time."Bryce was scolded even though he had been keeping quiet.Worried that he might upset Holly, he picked his words carefully."I spent most of my time studying abroad last time, so I seldom saw her. We would only meet once in a while during the festivals, and she's great at pretending."Olivia pursed her lips. "That's true. She puts on a great act in front of me, too. She would always sweetly call me Granny. I thought she was likable."Bryce placed his hand on Holly's shoulder. "Ever since marrying Holly, I realized it's more important to be sweet on the inside.""Exactly." Olivia locked her gaze on Holly, distracted.After a moment, she sighed. "If only you were Abraham's daughter, Arthur wouldn't have rejected you that badly."Bryce calmly said, "Abraham and Quirina really don't have what it takes to have such a great daughter like
The next day, Holly went to the mall in the early morning. She wanted to buy something for the baby.It was hard for her not to be excited as it was her first time being a mother.She wanted to prepare everything before the baby was born.However, Holly had always reacted to things slowly. She only started to get excited after a day and wasn't as exaggerated as Bryce.Previously, James would always accompany Holly when she went out.Now that she was pregnant, Bryce hired Cooper Ford to tag along with Holly as well.Cooper was a professionally trained bodyguard like James.Leitia also followed Holly closely.She was carrying a flask and some sweet and sour snacks at all times. She prepared them in case Holly felt nauseous and needed them.Holly had three people following her as she walked through the mall, and she wasn't used to it.However, she couldn't talk Bryce out of it since it was also his first time being a father.He would rather carry her around whenever they needed
Today, Samantha had lost most of her hope in Bryce, and she only wanted to tear the couple apart.If she couldn't have the life she wanted, she wouldn't let them enjoy their life as well!Samantha wasn't budging, and she kept staring at Holly's belly with an evil gaze.Holly felt uncomfortable when she noticed that.Then, she coldly said, "I'm going to say it one more time. Get out. Do you not understand me?"However, Samantha was unwilling to leave just like that.It wasn't easy for them to meet, and there weren't any cameras in the restroom. The bodyguards couldn't enter as well.Samantha thought she would be an idiot if she didn't grab this rare opportunity.Then, she said sarcastically, "You poor women sure are scheming. First, your grandma died to prevent you and Bryce from getting a divorce. Now, you're using your pregnancy to keep Bryce around you. "Wow! Everyone in your family sure is full of dirty tricks. How disgusting…"Before Samantha could finish her words, Holl
Holly let go of Samantha's hair and dusted off her hands.Then, she walked to the sink and turned on the tap to clean her hands with some handwash.However, she felt they were still dirty even after washing them three times.Suddenly, Holly understood why Bryce would wash his hands when he punished Samantha.The disgust wouldn't go away that easily.It felt like accidentally touching mold on the walls.Another example would be accidentally touching a toad.Holly only felt slightly at ease after washing her hands five times.Leitia quickly brought her some paper towels and started nagging, "Oh, my. I was so anxious just now and worried that she might push you over again. "Mrs. Gabelman, things are different for you now. You're carrying a child, so you need to watch out."Holly accepted the paper towels and wiped her hands.Then, she crumpled them up and threw them in the trash can.Holly calmly said, "It's fine. Grandpa taught me how to protect myself since I was weak when
Holly took the invoice and went to the cashier to pay for the bill.After paying by card, she ran into someone familiar just as she was about to leave.The man had a dashing face and a tall build.It was Abelin.He was there to make payment as well.Holly faintly smiled and greeted him politely, "What a coincidence. Are you here to buy some clothes as well?"Abelin nodded slightly and looked at her with a gentle gaze. However, he said nonchalantly, "Back at Mr. Habel's house, Bryce sent someone to give me a suit and a shirt. I'm here to buy something similar to repay him.""That won't be necessary. You've helped me so much, so a set of clothes isn't a big deal.""I've already bought it, and it wouldn't be nice to get a refund. After all, they're getting paid by commission, and it isn't easy to work around the clock."Holly didn't expect he would be so thoughtful.However, it made sense to her as well.Both Bryce and Abelin could afford the clothes, so it didn't matter to the
