“If we meet in a crowded place, it’ll be less suspicious.” Lana leaned against the desk and lifted her eyes. “Aren’t I very smart?”
Kendrick glanced at Lana and smiled without saying a word.
Lana was addicted to Kendrick’s rare smile, and her heart beat with joy. “Kendrick, after tomorrow, I’ll be able to prove to Yorick and Fabian that I have my own personal strength. Even if I don’t rely on the Stygian Johnson Gang, I can make it on my own. I’ve waited a long time for this day.”
Kendrick listened calmly and had a thought-provoking smile on his face. “I’ve also waited a long time for this day.”
“Then, let’s celebrate in advance this evening. I want to celebrate it with you.”
“I have to look into something tonight to make sure that tomorrow’s transaction will go through smoothly.” Kendrick declined. “Let’s wait for the transaction to be completed tomorrow. We’ll have lots of time to enjoy and celebrate then.”
Lana thought that what he said made sense, so she did not pester him any longer.
After all, tomorrow’s event was very important. She needed to prepare as well.
She wanted to prove to Yorick that she was capable!
As soon as Lana left, Kendrick immediately sent a message to the person using Morse code.
When he saw that all the copied data was completely transmitted, the huge heavy weight in his heart was halved.
He took out the family portrait photo from the drawer and looked at his true love and their two innocent children in the photo. A gleam of light appeared in Kendrick’s tired and gloomy eyes.
“Nia, I wish I could hug you right now.”
‘But I’ll probably never get another chance to stand in front of you again.’
…
After Lana left Waldburg Corporation, she felt very nauseous as soon as she got into the car. She went to the hospital for a check-up and did not expect to learn that she was pregnant from the test results.
Lana was overjoyed. She wanted to call Kendrick immediately to tell him the good news, but after thinking about it, she turned the steering wheel and drove the car to the gates of Waldburg Manor before swaggering in.
Karen was sitting in the living room looking after the little baby. Jackson was sitting next to Pudding, helping to take care of him. Suddenly, Jackson’s big eyes saw the uninvited guest, Lana.
Jackson recognized her. He grabbed the apple in the fruit bowl and threw it at Lana with a serious face. “Bad guy.”
Lana avoided it quickly and grabbed the apple. She threw it under her feet, then smiled disdainfully. “What? Is Eveline out? Is that why you need this little thing to greet me?”
Karen finally noticed Lana coming in. She got up, walked to the side, and picked up the broom. She pointed it at Lana aggressively. “You witch! What are you doing here? Get out of my house!”
Lana was in a very good mood and continued admiring the house without any anger. She had a smile on her face. “Why should I leave? This will be my home soon.”
“What? Your home?” Karen sneered sarcastically, “Stop uttering nonsense. Waldburg Manor does not accept people like you in here. Get out right now! Otherwise, I’ll have to use forceful means!”
Karen raised the broom to kick Lana out, but Lana remained standing with a calm expression.
“If you dare, hit me in my stomach! But be careful, inside my stomach is Kendrick’s flesh and blood,” Lana pointed to her stomach as she said triumphantly. Just then, Niamh came in holding Lillian.
When she heard Lana’s announcement, Niamh’s heart sank to the pit of her stomach.
‘Kendrick has impregnated this woman.
‘Heh.
‘This is such a joke.’
Lana caught a glimpse of Niamh coming in and walked over proudly. She sneered at Lillian.
Niamh shielded Lillian behind her and looked up sharply. “What are you doing here? Miss my slaps?”
“Tsk.” Lana laughed arrogantly. “Oh, Eveline, don’t you ever get tired? Even though you’re married to Ryan, I can tell that you still can’t let go of Kendrick in your heart,” Lana said, deliberately jutting out her stomach as she walked in front of Niamh. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. It seems that Mrs. Jones has gotten a lot more haggard. Is it because you miss Kendrick too much? It’s a pity that Kendrick has been too busy accompanying me every night.
“Oh wait, I’m already pregnant with Kendrick’s child. After a while, Kendrick will be proposing to me and I’ll officially become Mrs. Waldburg. As for you—”
“Oh, shut up!” Karen could not bear to listen any longer and hit Lana on the back with the broom.
“Ah!” Lana exclaimed, turning her head to stare at Karen. “Did you just hit me?! I’m pregnant with Kendrick’s child! Your grandson is in my stomach! It’s a Waldburg!”
“Bah! Don’t flatter yourself! My only grandchildren are Eveline’s children! I don’t care about you! Do you think that you’re worthy of being my daughter-in-law?”
Lana came to show off and provoke Niamh but did not expect to piss off Karen!
She was about to go off at Karen when Karen picked up a glass of water from the coffee table and splashed it on her face!
“Take a good look at yourself! A fake and botched bimbo face like yours is no match for Eveline! Do you really think that you can be my daughter-in-law? Keep on dreaming!”
“What are you talking about? Are you implying that I have a botched face?” Lana hated it when people commented on her face because she had indeed gone through plastic surgery before.
She turned around angrily and was about to hit Karen when she stepped on the apple that she had thrown onto the ground. Plop! She slid forward and fell heavily to the ground!
“Ah!” Lana held onto her stomach and let out a painful cry.
Lana fell onto the ground. As she was wearing a mini dress, blood could be seen flowing out from beneath.
“Ouch!” Lana frowned in pain and pointed at Niamh who was on the phone. She said fiercely, “Eveline, you did this to me! If anything happens to my son, I’ll destroy your b*stard kids! Ouch…”
Niamh walked up to Lana with a cold face. With a queen-like aura, she stared condescendingly at Lana who was curled up on the ground.
She suddenly stretched out her hand to pull up Lana’s collar, her gaze still as sharp. “If it weren’t for this innocent child, I wouldn’t have called an ambulance for someone like you. It’s a tragedy for this child to be conceived by you. With a mother like you, your child will never be happy!”
“Eveline, you…”
Lana was in pain and furious. She tried to fight back but could not muster up any strength.
Kendrick wanted to meet the children and Niamh for one last time, so he went back to his place. However, he was met with this scene when he entered the house.
Lana had been thrown to the ground by Niamh and was laying there with blood underneath her.
Lana’s sharp gaze saw Kendrick’s figure, and she immediately complained, “Kendrick! Eveline wants to kill me and your child! I’m in pain! My stomach hurts…”
‘Child?’
It turned out that Lana was that way because she was pregnant.
Of course, Kendrick knew that the kid had nothing to do with him. From the beginning, he had never touched Lana.
However, in order to go with the story, Kendrick pretended to be worried and walked toward Lana, passing by Niamh.
Niamh watched Kendrick walk up to Lana before squatting down. He asked Lana worriedly, “When did you get pregnant? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Lana squeezed out two drops of tears sadly. “I just found out and wanted to give you a surprise. I didn’t expect Eveline to be so vicious. She’s obviously jealous that I’m with you. She wants to kill our child, Kendrick. I’m in so much pain.”
Although Lana was in pain, she exaggerated it a lot.
She observed the changes in Kendrick’s expression and found that his eyes were cold. His fists were clenched too, and he was obviously very unhappy.
In the next second, Lana saw Kendrick getting up abruptly before turning his hostile handsome face toward Niamh.
“Eveline, how many times have I told you? We’re divorced now. I no longer love you. Why do you keep harassing my woman? Do you like me so much? Is it because you still can’t let go of me?”
Niamh had long gotten used to being disappointed with Kendrick, and her eyes were calm at the moment.
“Kendrick, let me make it clear to you. Your woman is the one who came here. She slipped on the apple and fell down. Even if she gets a miscarriage, it’s her own fault. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”
Niamh could not bother to deal with the scene any longer and turned to bring Lillian upstairs.
Kendrick was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and grabbed Niamh’s hand.
His warm hand held hers tightly, and he took the opportunity to feel her warmth.
However, it seemed that her warmth could no longer warm and heal his heart that was gradually being destroyed by poison.
Niamh turned around, and her gaze pierced through him. “Let go of me.”
Kendrick looked at her beautiful clear and moving eyes and buried the sentimental attachment. His eyes turned cold. Since he was in front of Lana, he pushed Niamh aside without mercy.
Niamh was caught off guard and fell heavily on the sofa.
She looked at the man who had pushed her to defend Lana, and her heart felt as if it was being fiercely squished by an invisible pair of hands.
“Mommy!” Jackson ran to Niamh with worry, followed by Lillian.
Despite the pain in Lana’s stomach, she was able to smile cheerfully.
Karen hurried over to Kendrick. “What are you doing, Kendrick? How can you push Eveline that way?”
Kendrick’s long eyes were indifferent. His gaze swept past Niamh once more scornfully. “Why can’t I push her? She made my woman bleed so much. Me giving her a push is me being easy on her.”
“Your woman? This enchantress used you to kill Eveline’s parents and split up the two of you! How could you be with this kind of person and let her conceive your child?!” Karen could not understand Kendrick’s change in attitude. “Kendrick, how can you do this to Eveline?”
