Sirena paused, her expression dazed for a few seconds, and then she stopped speaking.
After a long while, she sighed and said helplessly, “I am an illegitimate daughter. If I don’t do this, I won’t be able to enter the Walters family. I’ve done so much; I can’t let you take Ulric away! If you feel it’s unfair, I can give you back our father.”
It could be said that Ulric was the motivation behind all her efforts.
With him, whether or not she had that biological father didn’t matter at all.
“You can keep him. I don’t have a father.”
She didn’t need this person before, and she certainly wouldn’t need him in the future.
Rosalind threw out these words and left the hospital.
She would never reconcile with Kennard in her lifetime, nor would she have any sisterly bond with Sirena.
If one day the truth came out and it was Sirena who did it, she would show no mercy.
Hailing a taxi, Rosalind got in and watched the scenery outside pass by. Memories of her and Ulric flashed through her mind like a slideshow.
The car arrived at Easthaven Bay. Rosalind didn’t go in immediately but took a deep breath and called Tilda on her phone.
“I’ve decided. I will keep this child.”
…
Ulric did not delay the wedding because he didn’t want a divorce.
On the contrary, he urged the wedding company several times.
He was afraid.
Afraid that Rosalind would feel she couldn’t wait any longer and insist on divorcing him immediately.
When Rosalind received Ulric’s WeChat message, she was at the hospital with Tilda for a prenatal checkup. They hadn’t been called yet, so they were sitting on a bench outside the obstetrics and gynecology clinic waiting.
To avoid being traced, she used Tilda’s ID card.
[The wedding is tomorrow.]
Rosalind’s hand trembled slightly as she read the message.
To be honest, deep down, she hoped the wedding could be delayed a bit longer.
But she also wanted to get everything over with quickly and leave with the child.
Conflicted, she felt indescribable emotions upon seeing the message.
“What’s wrong?” Tilda noticed something was off and quickly asked.
“Nothing.”
Rosalind didn’t reply. Just as she was about to put away her phone, Ulric’s second message came through.
[Tomorrow, can he not attend? Just for one day, just one morning.]
Through the text, Rosalind could sense Ulric’s humble plea.
The dignified president of W Group was humbly begging her…
She knew who Ulric meant by “he.”
It seemed her lie had successfully deceived Ulric.
How ironic! She had always been terrible at lying, but this time, it worked.
“Is it Ulric?”
Tilda wasn’t foolish; she had already guessed from Rosalind’s expression.
“Yes.”
“Does he still want to keep you?”
Rosalind shook her head.
“Sigh! Shouldn’t you reconsider? It’s not too late now…”
They hadn’t officially divorced yet, and if she told Ulric about the child, they definitely wouldn’t divorce.
“A wrong path won’t lead back to the right one.”
“Do you have any plans for after leaving W Group?”
“I want to go abroad.”
Because in this country, it wouldn’t be easy to completely hide the child’s existence.
Even if Ulric didn’t investigate, Sirena would surely have someone follow her for a while!
Tilda thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright, I’ve discussed it with my brother. Once you get the divorce certificate from Ulric, you can register with my brother! Then he can take you abroad to have the baby.”
