Looking at the examination report in her hand, Lauren was completely at a loss. She was pregnant.
With a trace of melancholy, Lauren couldn't help feeling her belly. A little life was growing inside. Alfred didn't love her. Would he like this child?
Thinking of the doctor's advice, she walked into a restaurant on the way home. A waiter walked to her and handed over the menu.
"May I take your order, Miss?"
Lauren turned it over and asked with a questioning look, "Excuse me, is there any Black-bone chicken soup?"
The waiter glanced up and down at Lauren. "Miss, if you want to nourish your body, you can try our bird's nest. We don't have black-bone chicken soup."
Because Lauren got out in a hurry, she didn't bring much cash. Then she asked quietly, "How much is the bird's nest?"
"Miss, you are really lucky today. There is a new rare bird's nest in our restaurant, which does not contain any impurities. It only costs 680 dollars per gram."
Lauren was completely stunned. Not to mention that she didn't bring money. Even if she brought the money, she wouldn't be so extravagant to spend thousands on a meal, not to mention that she didn't bring much.
Seeing the waiter still waiting for a reply, Lauren got up and said, "Sorry, I'm not ordering."
Just as she was about to leave, a familiar figure appeared at the door. Carrie was holding Alfred's arm affectionately, opening the door for him with a sweet smile.
Her sweet smile froze instantly when she saw Lauren.
"Lauren, what a coincidence, are you eating here too?"
The report seemed burning in her hand. Lauren wanted to make it transparent at this moment. The waiter on the side acted like he had found a savior for her.
"Is this your friend? You can borrow money from your friend to pay the bill." The moment the waiter saw Alfred, he knew that he was a rich man, so he looked at him with admiration.
After listening to it, Carrie charmingly opened her delicate pink leather bag, "Lauren, it's okay, I will lend it to you."
There was a trace of resentment flashing in Lauren's heart. She couldn't stay with such a woman who loved pretending. Walking away would always be the best choice. She turned and walked towards the door.
Carrie pouted aggrievedly as if being bullied, "Lauren ignored me..."
Her misty eyes aroused Alfred's anger.
"Stop!"
The waiter was so flustered that he dropped the menu in his hand, and even Carrie who was being coquettish stopped.
Lauren also stopped. She looked at the big hand grabbing her wrist in surprise. Did Carrie's emotions really have such a big influence? But today she really didn't want to wrong herself too much.
Taking a look at Carrie's misty eyes, Lauren felt nauseous. Therefore, she retched a few times, which accidentally soiled Alfred's clothes.
"Bitch!"
Alfred pushed Lauren away in disgust, letting her hit the table behind. There was a sound of heavy objects colliding in the restaurant.
"Lauren, are you okay?" Carrie asked Lauren anxiously, wanting to walk over to help her.
"Leave her alone. Be careful of things that might hurt you." Alfred grabbed Carrie's waist in time and wanted to kiss her on the face.
Lauren stared at everything coldly. She never liked seeing a live sex drama, let alone her husband being the protagonist.
The door was abruptly opened. Lauren tried to act aggressively and stepped out as if she were completely unharmed.
It didn't feel good to be ignored.
Alfred ignored Carrie pulling him, withdrew his arm fiercely, and walked towards the woman that irritated him.
"Ungrateful woman."
After he said that coldly, Lauren lost her freedom completely. With Alfred grasping her, she was thrown into the car.
When she regained her freedom again, she was already sitting on the sofa in the living room with bruises on her wrist.
"Carrie and I have already engaged. I don't think you are willing to live with this kind of marriage. This is a divorce agreement, sign it, and I will give you a sum of money."
With that, Alfred took out the pen prepared in advance and threw it in front of Lauren with the divorce agreement.
"What if I'm pregnant with your child? Are you still going to divorce me?" Lauren's voice was trembling with every word. This was the first time she had spoken to him in a similarly threatening tone.
Alfred's face darkened quickly. He stepped forward and grabbed Lauren's neck, anger spreading over his fingertips.
"How dare you threaten me with a child? Do you want to die?" Alfred deepened the strength in his hand and didn't let go until Lauren's face turned red.
"I didn't lie to you, for the sake of the child, I hope you can think about it." Lauren took out the crumpled pregnancy test report, letting it slide down the coffee table to the ground.
When her eyes were fixed on the red word "positive", Lauren couldn't help but let tears mist her eyes. It was supposed to be a piece of happy news, but she was very worried.
It was useless to say anything else. She would no longer humiliate herself. She was embarrassed enough today.
After returning to the bedroom for a long while, she found that the light in the living room was still on. She wondered what he thought when he saw it. Would he throw it directly into the trash can? Lauren closed the curtains and lay back on the bed and fell asleep soundly.
In the night, the taillights of a Rolls-Royce gradually disappeared from the door of the villa. Alfred was disturbed. If Lauren was pregnant, it would be even harder for him to be with Carrie.
As they said before, Carrie came to their favorite coffee shop ahead of time. As the door revolved, a dignified man came in. Carrie immediately got up and greeted him while calling his name.
After Alfred was seated, Carrie directly cut to the chase.
"Alfred, do you suspect that Lauren's pregnancy test is fake? But if she is really pregnant with your child, are you going to abandon me?" Carrie nestled pitifully against Alfred's arms.
"Regardless of whether the child is real or not, I will divorce her." As he spoke, Alfred held her delicate hand on his chest lovingly.
"I'm relieved to hear you say that. If I can't be with you, I might as well die." Carrie poured a glass of wine for Alfred and raised her hand to let him drink it.
After Alfred sent Carrie home safely, he was still recalling how she waved goodbye to him on the way home.
When a man had trouble, he would either look for a cigarette or look for a woman. Watching Alfred's luxury car disappear from sight, Carrie smiled triumphantly. Obviously, the man's heart was always with her.
Back at the villa, it was already 2 o'clock in the morning. Alfred lazily undressed and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Lauren who was sleeping felt extremely restless. The cold sweat grew more and more.
Abortion? Lauren's heart skipped a beat. With Alfred giving an order, the medical staff pushed her onto the operating table indifferently.
"No! Don't hurt my baby, please." Lauren pushed those hands pressing her in vain.
When she saw that the cold equipment was about to hit her body, a pungent smell of alcohol stopped Lauren's nightmare in time.
Fortunately, it was just a dream. Lauren prayed silently.
The bathroom door opened quickly and Alfred walked out wrapped in a white towel.
In the faint light, Alfred's eyes were exactly the same as in her dream. Lauren became nervous again. She shrank and moved back until she reached the wall of the bed. Alfred made her felt disturbed.
He glanced at the delicate figure curled up on the bed with no emotion in his eyes. But the suspicious object on the table attracted his attention. After reading it, he froze.
Damn! She was actually pregnant.
The instructions for the fetus-safeguarding medicine were torn to pieces. He didn't believe that the sex they had when he was drunk that time actually made her pregnant.
"Whose child is it?"
Like a basin of ice water pouring from her head, Alfred's words almost let Lauren lose her sanity.
"Alfred, what do you mean?" Lauren trembled slightly while being emotional.
Alfred snorted when he heard it, stepped directly onto the bed, rode on her body, and grabbed her chin with his fingers. The coldness of his hand made Lauren shiver.
The beautiful silhouette was even more charming against the light. Lauren couldn't believe that he was the devil in her dream.
"Lauren, this test report must cost you a fortune, right? It looks so real." The enchanting voice seemed to come from a mountain stream, but those words seemed to come from hell.
Lauren sneered. He suspected that the child was fake.
"Alfred, you can check it out. I won't be so cheap to use a fake pregnancy to please you." Lauren raised her chin firmly.
Alfred's eyes were filled with contempt. "What won't you do for being the hostess of the Kent family?"
His slander caused Lauren to breathe heavily. She tried to push Alfred, but she was pressed tighter.
Her soft and thin clothes became messy due to the pulling. Alfred looked at it contemptuously, "What's the point of wearing clothes like this?"
While talking, Alfred grabbed her pajamas' strap wrapped around her and pulled it gently. Then her pajamas were torn open.
"Do not touch me!"
The doctor's instructions made her anxious at this moment. She didn't want to lose her baby because of the beast desire of the man in front of her.
What did she pretend to be innocent now? Alfred pulled the quilt away in disgust.
Lauren wanted to stop him, but Alfred rudely kissed her, which made her have no way to utter a word.
There was a sharp pain and then Alfred felt something salty. He furrowed his brows. He stared at the blood on his fingertips, feeling rather irritable. The woman almost made him dumb.
"Lauren, do you know what I hate you most?" Alfred's low growl made Lauren tremble slightly.
"You always play hard to get."
After saying that, Alfred started to have passionate sex with her. But he thought that it was all because of this woman's bad intentions.
Lauren felt that the last trace of her dignity was also being trampled under his feet. She had always been so miserable in his eyes.
"Do you think I don't know your relationship with Noah Kent?" Alfred said while buckling the buttons.
"Alfred, if you don't want to admit the child, just forget it. I didn't force you to raise this child, but before he becomes an adult, I will try to give him a complete home."
Lauren curled up her body, feeling rather devastated.
