Gregory just shut his mouth and let Lucy called him.
He knew that Kent will turn off his phone so she just wasting her time calling him. He didn’t want to let him hurt her. Gregory may be guilty that I why he was too good on her.
” His phone was off! Did you know where he was right now?” Lucy looks desperate.
“Just take a rest. I’ll talk to Eloisa. I’ll tell Kent also. Tomorrow, I’ll tell them to discharge you so that you can take a rest at the villa and your baby.” Gregory simply said.
Lucy felt dirty when she called her bitch.
What will she do now? Did Kent know that Eloisa is playing sick the whole year? What if he knew so and just pretended that his wife was sick? Why? She must find out what was Kent is thinking of at this moment.

“Just tell her the truth and if not, I’ll be the one to tell her!” Eloisa said to the other line.
“Just leave Lucy to me. I’ll handle her!” Kent said to his wife.
One month ago
Eloisa and Kent just got home from the hospital after meeting Eloisa’s gynecologist.
Eloisa stormed inside their car. She’s annoyed and devastated. Her eyes started to burn when tears flood her cheeks.
“Did she finish med school? How dare she gave me the wrong result!?” Her temper was undeniable. She pouted her lips while talking to her husband Kent.
He was in the driver’s seat while listening to his wife’s complaint. He took a deep sigh.
“Honey, it’s not a fake result. You can’t bear a child because your egg cells are few and premature.” He told her so that she will seal her loudmouth.
Eloisa tightened her jaw try not to make a scene. She decided to keep quiet until they arrived at their house. Kent was also busy driving so he decided to stay silent too.
While both of them came inside, Eloisa took one glass of wine to calm herself. It feels like she was walking in an icy pathway where her toes felt numb anymore. Their dreams of having a baby will be like a fantasy only. It will only appear in their imagination and it will never be real.
Eloisa saw Kent on the couch. He’s in deep thoughts when she slowly walked closer and sat beside her poor husband. She knows how disappointed he was when the result came out this morning. It’s been ten years since they got married in the states but until now they didn’t have a child. Eloisa was at fault and Kent wanted to leave her because she hides the fact that her condition worsened.
She moved closer and about to touch her husband’s face when Kent staved off his face from her hands.
“Let’s have a divorce”, he uttered abruptly without a single blink.
Eloisa was startled after hearing it. She thought like having a bad dream.
Divorce?
” What? Are you out of your mind? We can always find a way, honey. Just trust me.” Her voice became vulnerable while holding her tears.
Kent stood up and face her. He glared at his wife. He made up his mind so she can’t undo what he just said earlier. Their marriage is a force so maybe they will be cursed by this.
“Find a way? How? Tell me exactly Eloisa!” He said trying to keep his voice low.
Eloisa gulped the whole glass of wine and put the empty glass on the table. It’s her way to find courage in this situation.
“What if we find a surrogate mom? We will use your sperm cell and inject it into her. Right?” Her face was bright after making a great idea.
Kent’s face turned to focus. Her wife had a point. Filing a divorce isn’t the best solution. He and his dad will be in big trouble if he does that. Their business will losses everything especially his wife’s father’s big shares. Mr. Sherlock was one of the VIP stockholders of Wine Ace Corp.
He went back to sit on the couch and listened to her.
“So who will it be? I can’t let anybody bear my child. We have to think about it!” He said. Eloisa lean closer near Kent’s ears and told him about the surrogate.
Kent’s eyes widened to know who was it.
“What? Are you telling me to hit on Lucy and impregnated her? Are you insane Eloisa? Have you had enough? He can’t believe that his wife was that heartless.
Eloisa narrowed her eyes on him.
” Yes. I’m selfish! If that can make us a happy family, you better do it or else dad will bestow me and also you and your dad’s company!” She said and Kent hold her shoulders tightly and shook them. His eyes firmly gaze at her.
