The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1327:

Laney felt utterly embarrassed, wishing she could just disappear.

Seeing Laney’s reaction, Alicia’s suspicions were confirmed, and she elbowed Caden.

“Scarlette was taking a nap in the room this afternoon. The walls are thin, so she might have heard something when she woke up.”

Cliff looked at Laney, whose ears were red, and he felt a wave of sympathy. After saying goodbye to Caden and Alicia, he led Laney back to their room.

Laney scolded him.

“You went too far. How will I face them now?”

Cliff brushed it off.

“Scarlette is young. She’ll forget it by tomorrow.”

“But Alicia and Caden also know.”

“They’re adults. They understand these things.”

Cliff’s hand slipped under her skirt, trying to calm her.

“Come on, let’s not worry about it now.”

After the watch was returned to its rightful owner, Cliff kissed her lips.

“Would you dare to do that again?”

With tears in her eyes, Laney said she would.

Once they returned from the resort, Cliff decided to just let nature take its course with starting a family.

Surprisingly, Laney’s period was late that month. Thinking she might be pregnant, she secretly went for a check-up.

The day Laney brought the report to Cliff, the sun was shining brightly. She stood in the sunlight streaming into his office, wearing a green dress, looking unspeakably beautiful.

Cliff, seeing her bright smile, drew her onto his lap.

“Didn’t we just see each other this morning? Missing me already?”

Laney hid the report behind her, the paper rustling in her grip.

Cliff reached out.

“What have you got there?”

Laney let go of the report, and as Cliff unfolded it, his usually composed eyes widened. The report contained two striking words: “Pregnancy Status.”

“Pregnant?” Despite seeing the confirmation, Cliff asked, as though unsure.

Laney wrapped her arms around his neck, her smile mixing with tears. She nodded, her voice catching in her throat.noveldrama

Cliff’s eyes were bright with emotion, and he sighed deeply, embracing his beloved closely.

“Thank you, Laney.”

Laney replied, “I love you, my dear.”

Outside, the sun shone brightly, and the green leaves fluttered in the summer wind, as if to celebrate their love.

Time flew. Soon, Scarlette had turned 18. Today marked the third day of her refusal to eat as a protest. She was determined to resist Alicia’s plans to marry her off to the Reed family in Banta.
