Trista's pov
"Brenda!" As I was about to run after her, Donald grabbed my hand.
"Leave her alone."
"But..."
"It's good for her to stop daydreaming." Donald hugged me tightly and said, "It's getting late. Let us go home."
"Okay." I don't want to go upstairs either. If I run into Brenda again, I don't know how embarrassing it will be. "Let us go."
Emos pov
"Look, look, what does it look like?" the father slapped the newspaper on the table.
mother picked it up and looked at it. "The Nash group is not going to win. She plagiarized the Lion group's idea. After the designer was exposed by the judges on the spot, she started cursing..."
"What a loser! Shame on us!" His father was so angry that he coughed twice and swept the breakfast on the floor in front of him.
I ate the porridge in silence. I expected them to react, so I did not say anything.
" My Lady, Miss Ashley has been kneeling outside for a long time. It's raining hard. Would you like to invite her in?" A maid came in and reported.
"Why do you invite her in? If you want to kneel down, just let them kneel down as much as you can! Do not bother with her!" Mother dismissed the servant and looked at me, "Why did not you tell us that something so big happened yesterday? Did Mr. Donald say anything about it? Was the group bullied this morning? Tell us!"
I ate my breakfast in silence.
"It's no use getting upset now. Now that it has come to this, we can only hope that Mr. Donald will show mercy and not stoop to the level of a little girl..." his father consoled himself].
"How can that be possible? Ashley plagiarized Trista's idea! Trista is now the wife of Mr. Donald! Do you think he can let it go? Mr. Donald gave us a way out last time, and now we are still asking for trouble beyond our ability. This time our family is doomed. We will leave soon!"
"Do not talk nonsense!" father paced back and forth with his hands clasped behind his back. "Speaking of which, who came up with the idea of plagiarizing Trista's idea? Emos, is that you?"
"How can it be my son? Of course it's that bitch's idea! My son did not know until yesterday's competition! If he had known earlier, how could he not have stopped her!"
"Stop it. I am going to work now. You can wait for the news at home." I wiped my mouth with a napkin, feeling extremely impatient.
There is no underground parking in this mansion. When I go to my car, I have to walk past the front yard, so I have to meet Ashley. Although I did not want to see her, i had no choice.
Emo's point of view
"Emos..." Seeing Emos come out with an umbrella, I wanted to take a step forward, but my knees were swollen and numb after kneeling for so long. Just as I was about to stand up, I fell back, powerless. "Emos, where are you going?"
Seeing him walk past me with a cold face, I crawled forward two steps and suddenly held onto his legs. "I am sorry, it's all my fault. Please give me another chance. I really can not lose you..."
Without saying a word, he pushed her away and left the courtyard. He packed away the umbrella and got into the car without hesitation.
As I chased him, his car splashed all over my body and drove away.
"Emos..."
I never thought he could be so heartless. I looked up at the Nash family mansion. The rain was so heavy that I could not open my eyes. Do I really have to keep kneeling here to get sympathy?
But if I do not, what else can I do?
She touched her belly and thought, 'This is my last leverage. No, I have to keep kneeling here!'! She would do her best to get everyone's forgiveness!
Aviva's pov
"y lady, Miss Ashley has fainted!" The maid ran in.
I was annoyed and restless. "She has fainted. What's the big deal? Ask someone to throw her out. Don't make a fool of yourself here!"
"Wait!" Uriah coaxed her to stay, "bring her inside and call for the doctor!"
"Honey, are you crazy? We have been hurt by her. Is not that enough? Why did you call a doctor for her?" I don't want to.
"After all, she's Trista's half-sister. Trista is a soft-hearted person. If Ashley can use today's trick on Trista, maybe the tide will turn and Trista will let us go!"
"Really?" I thought for a while and thought, "Well, with this chip, we will not lose too badly!
When Ashley was carried in, a servant had already changed her into clean clothes. The doctor came to take her pulse and looked at us. "madam, congratulations! This lady is pregnant!"
"What did you say?" Uriah and I were stunned. "Say it again!"
"This woman is pregnant!"
"What?" It was like a thunderclap out of the blue, and I could not stay on my feet. "Are you sure? Check her again!"
"I have already checked it three times! It's true!"
"..."
Uriah and I looked at each other
She was pregnant with Emo's child??? When did it happen?
Ashley's point of view
After a long time, I woke up and saw Emos' face. "Emos, is that you?"
"It's me." He held my hand and asked softly, "Why did not you tell me you were pregnant?"
"I..."
How did they know so quickly? Did you ask the doctor to check on me after I passed out? And you are 100% sure that I am pregnant, so your attitude has changed a hundred and eighty times?
"Why don't you care about your own health at all? You are pregnant and you have been out in the rain for so long?" Emos reached out his hand to touch my forehead and felt sorry for me.
"Emos... Waah... I thought you did not want me anymore..." I sobbed in his arms,. "I came here today to tell you about your pregnancy, but you did not want to see me. I knelt down for a long time, but you had no pity on me..."
"Silly girl." He stroked my hair and said, "I just have a lot to deal with in the last two days. I am sorry I took my anger out on you."
"Why are you still dallying with her?" Aviva changed the subject and said, "For the sake of the child, it's not impossible to be our daughter-in-law. But the misfortune you have brought upon the Nash family must be resolved!"
"Me?" I was stunned, and with the child's support, I became brave. "I am a weak woman. What can I do? Mom, you do not want to give me a hard time, do you?"
"Who is in the dilemma? If it had not been for you, would our Nash family have ended up in such a dangerous situation? Now I am giving you a chance to make up for your past mistakes, and you are so shameless?" she said angrily.
I buried my face in Emos' arms and sobbed.
"Mom, do not take that tone with Ashley. Have not you heard from the doctor? She's weak now and needs rest. You can go out now. I will have a good talk with her about this matter."
"My son, you must not let her bewitch you! If she can not help you, she will be a useless pawn for us! There are many women who want to bear a child for you. We do not lack this one!"
"I understand. You can go now." Emos stood up and pushed his parents out of the room.
"Emos..." I looked at him with tears in my eyes. "Thank you..."
"You little fool, do not mention it." He took me in his arms and kissed me on the forehead. "Go to sleep. I'll be with you."
I stayed gently in his arms. The moment I lowered my gaze, a sly light flashed in my eyes!
It seems that my marriage with him is hopeful!
As long as I use my child to win Emos' heart, Emos' parents can not hurt me even if they do not like me. If I marry into the Nash family, they will suffer!
