Chapter 2907
Shelly had considered everything.She concluded that she could not keep the child and had to keep her pregnancy a secret from her family and colleagues."What is it? Do you need money? How much?" Courtney asked."No. It's not that. Let's just meet and talk!" Shelly could not bring herself to talk about it over the phone."Alright. Are you at the apartment now? I will drop by later.""Sure."Forty minutes later, Courtney arrived at the flat, and Shelly was waiting with a home-cooked meal.Courtney's lips curled into a smile. "Shelly, it's not even time for lunch yet! What's so important that you can't talk about it over the phone? I'm itching to know."She sat down in a chair and stared at Shelly.Shelly poured her a glass of water and sat down next to her. "Courtney, we don't have any mutual friends, and you don't know my family, so you are the only one I could think of to ask," Shelly said seriously. "I'm pregnant, and I want an abortion, but the hospital requires a third par
Chapter 2908
Shelly wavered at Courtney's words.Hayden was a brilliant man, and she could not help but wonder how his child would turn out.However, it would be a torment for the child to be born into a family that struggled to make ends meet, and if the child could choose, they might not want to be born into the world only to suffer.If she chose to give birth to the baby, the baby would be considered Hayden's illegitimate child."Look, you are hesitating." Courtney studied Shelly's face. "Reconsider, Shelly!""I've thought about it for days, but I can't afford to give birth to the baby. I don't have the time or money. I can't work while taking care of a child... nor can I get my mom to help on that front. My mom is ill, and my brother is just going into university..." Shelly said hysterically. "This isn't the right time to bring a new life into the picture.""Shelly, you are thinking too much. Your mom is recovering, right? Which means your dad can go back to work soon. Once he starts work
Chapter 2909
It was a cloudy day, and there was not a soul in the street so when a car stopped outside the mansion, the servant immediately headed toward the gate. "I didn't hear that we were expecting guests!"The bodyguard went over as well.It was a taxi, and once the car door opened, the servant and bodyguard froze at the sound of a baby crying.It had been years since the sound of a baby crying had been heard in Elliot's mansion.The bodyguard immediately opened the gate and went outside to survey the situation, and the servant hurried after him.A middle-aged woman with a baby in her arms stepped out, and since it was snowing, the woman had wrapped the baby tightly in a blanket."Who are you?" the servant asked curiously. "Do you know the owner of this place?"The woman shook her head and said, "Is this Elliot Foster's house? I'm here to deliver a baby. The security guard didn't want to let me in and only made an exception when I said that this baby belongs to the Fosters."Both the b

"You are Avery Tate, right? This baby belongs to your people... If you want him, you need to pay me," the woman said to Avery. "The person who sent me told me that you would pay me if I handed the baby to you. Just look at the weather today! It's not easy for me to travel all this way with your baby!"The servant hurried over and placed the jacket across Avery’s shoulders, just in time to hear what the woman had said. "We don't even know whose baby this is yet! Bring the baby's mother here to talk to us!" The servant was firmly on Avery's side.Avery and Elliot had had a harmonious marriage, and they had four children together.'Why would there be an illegitimate child out of nowhere? How will Avery accept this? How are Avery's children going to take this?' the servant thought."There's no point in you arguing with me! I'm just here to deliver the baby. If you refuse to pay me, then... I won't hand the baby over," the woman said angrily, dumbfounded that they felt no pity for the b

"Mr. Foster, don't you feel sorry for this baby? If you don't want him, I guess I will just send him to an orphanage." Feeling as though she was freezing, the woman intended to leave with the child, as she gambled on the chance that Elliot would not have the heart to abandon a baby."Stop right there!" Elliot roared. "Who handed you this baby? Did she say anything else apart from asking you to deliver the baby?"The woman stopped. "She didn't say anything else! She just said that you would pay me if I delivered the baby here. Had I known that this is how you all would be treating me, I wouldn't have come. I'm just a milk delivery worker. I don't know anything else."Elliot was speechless.The bodyguard noticed the troubled look on his face and said, "Mr. Foster, just let her leave!"The bodyguard knew that Avery would never allow the baby to stay and would likely still be furious even if the baby was sent away.This was proof that Elliot had been cheating on Avery, and any woman
Chapter 2912
There was a slim possibility that someone had schemed to obtain his DNA to produce his child in a lab."What if the child is yours?" Avery asked, her voice muffled as she glared at him with tears in her eyes."It can't be mine! Even if he's mine, someone must have played some kind of trick! I don't love anyone but you!" Elliot's chest heaved. "If this child is mine, I will give everything up. You can have everything and all of our kids. I don't want anything."Avery pulled away from him and went back into the house.She would have left right away if they did not have any children. However, they had four children who were all adults at this point, so she knew that she could not act recklessly.If Elliot was truly cheating on her and had ended up having an illegitimate child, she knew that her children would not spare him.Avery took off her jacket once she returned to the living room, feeling like she was boiling with anger.The bodyguard carried the baby inside, and, though the
Chapter 2913
The baby had stopped crying and was behaving because someone was holding him.The servant felt anxious as Elliot and Avery had always been a loving couple who had not had a fight in years."What if the results aren't ideal?" the servant thought.She set the baby onto the bed and took out her phone, wondering whether she should call Layla in case Layla could help calm her parents down.Half an hour later, Layla hurried home. However, it had nothing to do with the servant's phone call. The finance manager of her company had informed her that Avery was requesting a legal separation agreement where Elliot would be left with nothing.Terrified, Layla immediately set all her work aside and hurried home."Dad, what's going on? Are you and Mom fighting?" Layla darted into the living room without even taking her shoes off.Elliot sat on the couch alone in the living room.The servant heard Layla's voice and ran outside. "Layla, why are you here?" The servant was still contemplating whet
Chapter 2914
Tears rolled down Layla's face when she heard Hayden's voice, and she felt like the world was ending.Her harmonious family was on the brink of falling apart.Though she had married Eric, she had never once stopped considering herself a part of her family and thought that she had matured after getting married; however, this sudden event had made her realize that she was not strong enough.After ending her call with Hayden, Layla accepted a piece of tissue paper from the servant."Layla, I know that you are upset, but your dad says that this baby isn't his. I don't think he is lying," the servant reiterated. "Why don't we wait for the DNA test results, hm?"Layla dried her tears and turned her attention back to the baby.Woken by the noise Layla had been making on the phone, the baby was looking around dazedly."But I think he looks just like Dad!" Layla felt increasingly upset as she studied the baby.With there being so much resemblance between him and the baby, it was obvious
