Chapter 391

As Calla looked up slightly, she was met with Peggy's gaze. At that moment, Peggy's eyes were filled with a flaunting attitude. With her chin slightly raised, she had a cold smirk at the corners of her mouth.Pierre finally caught on and jokingly remarked, "Really, Mr. Yule? Did you actually get her pregnant before marriage? Wow.""Don't make it sound so bad. We've already decided to get married next month. You must come. Ms. Sherman, you're invited to our wedding as well." Zayden corrected Pierre and then turned politely to Calla.Hearing this, Calla gave Zayden a polite smile without confirming her attendance."Well, congratulations! By the way, have you met each other's parents? No objections from them?" Pierre suddenly asked.Zayden replied with a smile, "We just found out about the pregnancy. I'm taking Peggy to meet my parents tonight. They've been dreaming of having a grandchild. Now that their dream has come true, I'm sure they won't object."Seeing how confident Zayden

Offended by Peggy's words, Calla calmly replied, "I'm not interested in your affairs."With that, Calla turned to leave. Now that she was pregnant, she didn't want to create unnecessary trouble for herself.However, Peggy swiftly blocked her path. She crossed her arms as she sneered. "You're feeling embarrassed because you can't compete with me, huh?""I'm not as self-absorbed as you are," Calla coldly responded. She couldn't understand why women like Peggy existed. If she had found herself a rich man, she should just enjoy her new life quietly. But Peggy had to announce it to the world, not realizing the danger of it all."Hmph, even though Mercer married you when you got pregnant, you didn't even have a wedding. Then, he divorced you immediately after your child died. You really got the worst of it, didn't you? "Not only did you gain nothing, but you ended up as a remarried woman. But I must say, I admire your seduction skills. "You even managed to snag Pierre. So, tell me. W

Pierre and Calla were at the dinner table. As Pierre was finishing his meal, Calla suddenly spoke up. "Pierre, I have something to discuss with you.""What is it? Go ahead," Pierre replied, looking up with a smile.Calla carefully began, "The doctor said I'm healthy now, and the pregnancy is stable. I think it's time for me to make some plans of my own. After all, I can't stay here to have the baby, right? "Even if I don't mind people gossiping, I'm worried it might affect your chances of finding a girlfriend in the future. Don't you think so?"She used a playful tone on purpose, hoping Pierre wouldn't disagree.As expected, Pierre's expression darkened, and he put down his cutlery. He had completely lost his appetite."You said your mother doesn't know about your pregnancy, right? Where could you, a pregnant woman, possibly go on your own?" Pierre asked, frowning deeply."I was thinking of going to Greendale. I'm familiar with the area, and it should be quiet if I rent a small

Two days later, Pierre drove Calla to Winona Price's house, their car loaded with luggage. After about an hour's drive, Pierre pulled over in a scenic area. The place was nestled between hills and a flowing stream, its waters so clear that you could see tiny shrimp and fish swimming within.It was fall, the season of harvest, and the apple, persimmon, and plum trees were heavy with ripe, reddish fruits. Among these trees stood an old, tall house, its blue bricks and white walls making it look like something out of a painting.Standing on this piece of land, Calla felt as if she could breathe easier. The beauty of the surroundings made it hard to look away. No wonder Pierre's grandmother liked living here alone—it was a secluded paradise. The thought of staying here for several months made Calla feel a little excited."Not bad, huh?" Pierre remarked with a smile as he knocked on the small courtyard door in front of them."I didn't expect there to be such an undeveloped place near

"Grandma, how have you been lately?" Pierre, who was also elated to see his grandmother, stepped forward to hug Winona."I've been great," Winona replied with a smile.After exchanging a few words, Winona noticed Calla. She gave the latter a thoughtful look before smiling. "So, is this the Calla you've been talking about?""Hello, Madam Winona." Calla quickly stepped forward and lowered her head respectfully."Grandma, she's a good friend of mine. Please don't be too strict with her," Pierre joked, playfully holding Winona's hand.Winona gave Pierre a sideways glance before turning to Calla with a smile. "I can tell just by looking that Calla is a good girl. I bet she's more capable than you are!"Pierre rubbed his nose and exchanged a smile with Calla.Calla took the opportunity to observe Winona more closely. Although in her 70s, Winona appeared to be in good health, with a strong and graceful demeanor. Her eyes, though aged, hinted at the beauty she must have possessed in h

Hearing this, Calla finally understood what Winona meant. It made sense; Pierre now came over almost every weekend, bringing lots of delicious food and drinks. According to Penny, Pierre used to only visit once a month. It was no wonder Winona had considered the possibility."Madam Winona, you misunderstood." Calla quickly explained, "Pierre and I are just friends. I'm going through a tough time right now, and Pierre, being the kind person he is, brought me here to stay with you."Winona let out a long sigh. "I knew that boy wasn't lucky enough to have you. Our family must not have Lady Luck by our side.""Pierre is an outstanding man." Calla quickly assured her, "He'll definitely find a wife who's perfect for him!"Winona glanced at Calla. "What's the use of being outstanding? You know Wanda, don't you? She's always abroad painting those worthless pictures. They say one of her paintings even won some international awards. Still, she's never around. I'm glad Pierre broke up with he

Hearing the call, Calla stepped out of the house and into the courtyard."Grandma, I'm here!" Pierre happily called out as he handed the bags he was carrying to Penny.Winona glanced at Calla, who had just walked out of the house, and remarked with a teasing smile, "I've been living here for so many years, and I've never seen you visit this often. Looks like I'm benefiting from someone's company now."Calla's face turned red at Winona's playful comment.Pierre, however, hugged Winona's shoulders and coaxed her. "Grandma, I'm not too busy these days. The few cases I was handling have all wrapped up, and honestly, I'm a bit exhausted. "I've been running at full throttle for years, but recently I've been handing off cases to the lawyers who work under me. I'm not going to push myself so hard anymore. I'll be able to visit you more often!""That's more like it. Come on, join me for yoga. There's an old man who's always trying to challenge me; I need to show him who's boss!" Winona's

Seeing the mysterious look in Pierre's eyes, Calla couldn't help but ask, "What is it?""It's about your old nemesis." Pierre's smile widened."Peggy?" Calla raised a curious eyebrow.Pierre nodded in response. "Zayden finally broke up with her after he found out about her past.""Weren't they supposed to get married because of the baby? What about the child?" Calla frowned.Though Calla had suspected that the truth about Peggy would eventually be revealed, she knew that Peggy was pregnant and that the Yule family would have an opinion about the unborn child."There's no baby—the pregnancy was fake," Pierre replied."Fake?" Calla was beyond shocked. She thought for a moment and then asked, "How could it be fake? We ran into them at the hospital that day, didn't we? Peggy was there for a check-up. Could a doctor have conspired with her to fake the reports?"Calla knew Peggy was capable of underhanded tricks, but to involve a doctor in such a scheme seemed far-fetched. Even setti

Glancing at Pierre, Calla knew he was intentionally holding back. She casually remarked, "If you really want to talk, I'm open to listening."When Pierre heard this, he kicked the ground, and the rocking chair abruptly stopped. He sat up quickly, grinning at Calla. "I knew you wanted to hear it!""Then stop beating around the bush," Calla snapped, giving him an annoyed look.Pierre then enthusiastically began to describe the situation. "Peggy went through a lot of trouble to snag Zayden. With the prize so close, she wasn't about to let it go easily. "She tried every trick in the book to corner Zayden—crying, kneeling, threatening to hang herself, cutting her wrists—the works. She made Zayden feel like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place.""I don't doubt that's something she'd do." Calla nodded. Peggy was definitely capable of those things. She likely learned all these tactics from Jill, who was rumored to have used the same methods on Rudy back in the day. No wonder Caro

As Calla looked up again, she saw Pierre coming back into the courtyard with even more bags. He was heading straight toward her bedroom. Seeing this, Calla quickly went to open the door for him.Pierre was wearing a gray casual down jacket. As soon as he stepped inside, a cool breeze followed him in."Look what I brought you!" Pierre announced excitedly. He placed the bags on the couch."What is it?" Calla curiously walked over.When she glanced down at the bags, she was taken aback. They were filled with things like baby bottles, infant pillows, diapers, baby capes, and more. Pierre had brought with him baby essentials, and the collection was extensive.Seeing these items stirred something deep within Calla. She reached out and picked up a baby bottle, carefully examining it, while her emotions churned like a turbulent sea.She had thought about preparing these things herself, but since she was only seven months pregnant, she believed there was still time. She had planned to ask
