Edward did not speak.
Vivian continued, “My life is mine, and the child in my belly is my own flesh and blood. I know you the Henderson Family will not allow the Henderson Family’s blood to remain outside, but I will find someone to marry as soon as possible, and I hope Mr. Henderson will be merciful. If not …”
“Or what?”
The man’s eyes narrowed slightly as he questioned.
Vivian lowered her eyelids and said slowly, “If you must take the child from me, then the day the child enters the Henderson Family will be the anniversary of my Vivian’s death.”
She felt that Adriana was right, avoiding it all the time was not the way to go, so it was better to talk about it openly and honestly.
You can’t choose to avoid him for the rest of your life because you’re afraid.
After five or six years, Vivian was tired, burned out, and bored.
I really don’t want to live the kind of life that was once worse than death.
Edward stood by the bedside, listening to Vivian’s words, he did not respond for a long time.
When he learned that Vivian had returned home, Edward’s thought was to find her, but not to take away her child.
Now Vivian says she wants to find a new father for her child, and he has mixed feelings, I can’t tell you what he feels.
He yanked Vivian’s wrist with his big palm, “Don’t you dare! My child, can never call ‘daddy’ to another man.”
Vivian smiled sarcastically, despite the tears hanging from her eyes.
Questioned, “So, are you going to marry me fair and square?”
She would like to tell Edward that the child in her womb is not his.
But Vivian didn’t think there was any objection to that kind of lie. After all, the Henderson Family was so powerful that it was really easy to find out who the biological father of the child was.
She did not want to make a futile struggle.
“With you, you are also worthy?”
The man’s attitude is cold, a sentence deeply stabbed her heart.
Let her recognize reality again.
Vivian shook her head, still keeping her smile, “Yes, I don’t deserve it. So, the day the baby is born is the day of my death, is it?”
She took a deep breath and leaned against the bed, tilting her head to look out the window, “Ms. Hale can protect me, but she can’t protect me for the rest of my life. As long as you want to take away the child, there are a hundred ways to do it, I can’t stop it, and neither can Ms. Hale.”
Vivian’s long, slender fingers covered her bulging belly and sighed, “If there’s only one way to go, then I want Mr. Henderson …”
The words pause, raised his eyes, steely eyes looked at Edward, “can let me keep the child well for a while, let him come into the world smoothly and peacefully.”
Rubbing his hand over his abdomen, “When the time comes, I hope you won’t tell the baby that I’m the baby’s mommy, I don’t want the baby to live in endless pain.”
She has already lost a child trying to avoid Edward.
It was her blood relative, and it was painful for Vivian to be snuffed out with her own hands.
By the grace of God, she was able to have a child once again, and this time, Vivian would not have killed the baby early anyway.
She felt like a sinner and felt sorry for her children.
So, what I just said to Edward is true.
Adriana can protect her for life, but not necessarily to protect the child for life, if one day the child is really taken away by Edward, then for her, there is nothing in the world worth her love.
Edward’s eyebrows are slightly knitted, and there is a bit of gloom between the brows that cannot be melted.
The hand hanging at his side clenched uneasily, facing the woman’s words, but he did not know how to answer.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market. Vivian, remember, as long as I’m around, your life doesn’t belong to you.”
He forced the woman to look up into his eyes, and her red, swollen eyes were heavy with tears, staining the eyelash feathers as they wept down.
Choking on a sob, he said, “Mr. Henderson, there are a hundred ways you could have taken the child, and I was powerless to stop it, but there are also a hundred ways I could have died. From now on, every time you see the child you will remember how you drove the mother of the child to her death.”
She suddenly laughed, her smile was extremely mocking, “I can’t help you, but I can make you live in guilt for the rest of your life. Haha …”
The little woman laughed out loud, but couldn’t stop the tears from welling up in her eyes, and then said, “That feeling is, by and large, the greatest torture for you. Don’t you think so, Mr. Henderson?”
The two were so close that they could feel each other’s breath.
Edward’s deep pupils released anger, angry facial muscles trembled slightly, squeezing Vivian’s chin hand harder and harder.
“Vivian, you’re tough!”
He threw her away and stood tall, suddenly smiling wickedly, “So what if you die? I have blood on my hands is not less? The first thing you need to do is to get rid of the guilt, you really think too highly of yourself. Not only will I not feel guilty, I will also find a stepmother for your child, forever calling another woman ‘mommy’, even if he will not know that he has such a lowly mother until the day he dies.”
The smile on Vivian’s face suddenly stiffened, and she couldn’t stop clutching the bedding with both hands, shaking with anger, her eyes glowing with scarlet blood, looking at Edward with a deadly gaze as if she were looking at an enemy, “I’m ashamed of myself for being more ruthless than anyone else. As long as Mr. Henderson feels a clear conscience, it is good.”
When she finished, she laid down and covered the bedding, “Mr. Henderson, I’m sleepy, please go out.”
She slept with her back to Edward.
Edward stood there for a long, long time before pulling out a tissue and wiping the blood stains on the floor, picking up the dagger and leaving the bedroom.
In the afternoon, Edward left for something, but came back before dinner.
Adriana came back from work and went straight to the bedroom to find Vivian, who was already back in shape and pretending to be relaxed.
“Ms. Hale, you’re off duty?”
“Hmm.”
Adriana nodded and pulled her in to ask, “Well, did Edward come to see you?”
“Looked for it and got hurt.”
“Injured?”
“Yes. I followed what you said …”
She told Adriana about the day’s events, only that her ‘suicide’ was blocked by Edward, but said nothing more about what happened afterwards.
Adriana was originally very worried about Vivian, after listening to her words, her hanging heart fell, “That’s good. Don’t worry, I will not let him do anything excessive to you.”
In the evening, several people dined together.
“Well …”
Vivian, who was eating, had sweat stains on her forehead because she was sitting on Adriana’s side, and she was eating with her head down and her hair in front of her forehead covered the sweat stains, so Adriana couldn’t see the situation at all.
But Edward, who was sitting across from her, noticed it early and thought she was overstressed from it.
It took a sudden whisper to feel that something was wrong.
Adriana noticed Vivian’s painful whimpers and immediately put down her chopsticks and asked, “Vivian, what’s wrong with you?”
Vivian put down the dishes, couldn’t help the pain, covered her abdomen and said in pain, “My stomach … hurts.”
“Tummy ache?”
Adriana’s heartstrings tightened and instantly felt something was wrong, looking at Zac, “Come and take a look.”
