"I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. He must like them all!"
In the seaside mansion, Emily Walker cooked a romantic supper for her husband, Ryan, as she spoke happily.
"I can't wait to tell him this good news."
Recalling the information she had found in the hospital, her almond-shaped eyes could not stop smiling.
She was pregnant!
After three years of marriage, she and Ryan finally had a baby!
She was overjoyed and immediately called Ryan to share the good news.
Unfortunately, no one picked up the phone. After asking the driver, she knew he had held a private party in the old house today to welcome his friends.
After three years of marriage, he had always doted on her and will take her with him on any occasion.
This time, he did not inform her. This friend had something to do with his work. Maybe he has an important customer.
Therefore, she did not disturb him. Instead, she went back to their residence in advance and prepared a candlelight dinner for him.
He was her husband, as well as her light and redemption.
She had suffered a lot as a young child.
When she turned 18, she moved to the city to start a new life. Her biological parents didn't accept her, but they favoured their adopted daughter, Sophia Walker.
She would forever be an outsider and would never be accepted by the Walker family.
All the scoldings pointed at her. She was the sinner who ruined the Walker family's happy life.
She didn't understand. She just wanted to come back to see her biological parents. Was it really wrong?
Mr. Walker's indifference and Mrs. Walker's slap gave her the answer, which made her completely disheartened.
When she was in despair, Ryan stepped forward to protect her.
He took her away from the cold Walker family and married her home. He doted on her so much that she dispelled all the haze she had experienced in the past. He made her truly feel how happy she was to be loved.
They loved each other, and now they had the fruits of love. She couldn't wait to know how happy she would be when she learned she was going to be a father.
Emily stroked her lower abdomen with a happy smile on her lips.
She glanced. It was getting late, and Ryan hadn't returned yet.
She dialed a few more times, but still failed to get through.
She finally couldn't help calling Butler James, the housekeeper, and asked, "Butler James, is the banquet in the old house not over yet? Why is there no one answering Ryan's phone?"
Butler James, who had always respected her, glanced at her indifferently this time and said indifferently, "Madam, I'm sorry. I have no right to tell you about Sir's affairs."
As soon as he said that, Emily's heart skipped a beat, and she felt inexplicably uneasy.
Butler James was an old man by Ryan's side. He had always represented Ryan's attitude.
Why did he look at her in such a way? There seemed to be some pity in his contempt.
Such a look reminded her of the day three years ago when she had been looked down upon by the Walker family.
But now it was clearly not three years ago.
The current her was no longer the daughter of the Walker family, who was out of favor. Instead, she was Ryan's beloved wife and the young mistress of the Lucas family.
Ryan's handsome face appeared in her mind, and her heart gradually grew stronger.
Looking up again, she looked at Butler James and said in neither humble nor arrogant tone, "Is Ryan still in the old house?"
"Sorry, Madam, I have no right to tell you."
Butler James still looked indifferent, and his refusal was very tough.
Seeing this, Emily stood up and said, "In that case, I'll find him myself."
"Madam." Butler James stood in front of her with sarcasm in his eyes. He sneered and said, "I advise you not to go there. Today, the guests in the old house are very important. You can't provoke them."
His gaze, and the uneasiness in her heart, spread again, with a little panic stung Emily.
Ryan has instructed Butler James to act like this.
But why was he like this?
Although she said that she and Ryan had gotten married in a hurry.
Three years ago, he only met her once in the Walker family and married her home. But during these three years, he took good care of her and did whatever she asked for. He put her in his heart.
How important were the guests in the old house that she couldn't provoke?
Especially, Butler James's eyes were full of sarcasm and pity, as if... he was looking at a joke.
"No, I have to have a look."
Emily couldn't stand it anymore.
Her heart was filled with panic, and she only wanted to find Ryan in the old house as soon as possible.
As long as she glanced at him, she would feel at ease.
She wanted to go out, but Butler James reached out to stop her.
In a hurry, Butler James pushed her away and kicked the edge of the chair.
"Ah!"
There was a sharp pain in her calf, which made her scream. Tears filled her eyes in an instant.
She squatted down to cover her legs, but touched her lower abdomen with the other hand, her eyes flustered.
Her baby...
"Is she okay?"
Butler James's expression was extremely cold. He looked down at her and said coldly, "Madam, you'd better stay at home and be mentally prepared. When Mr. Ryan comes back, you will know!"
After that, Butler James went straight out.
Emily's heart sank a lot, just like the dishes carefully prepared on the table.
What did Butler James mean?
What would happen when Ryan came back?
Her heart seemed to have fallen into an abyss and kept sinking.
After an unknown period, the sound of cars finally came from outside the sanctuary. Emily suddenly raised his head, and her eyes lit up with hope again.
"It's Ryan!"
She had to ask him what was going on. Why did Butler James suddenly change his attitude?
Also, she had to tell him they had good news about the baby!
If she knew, she would be overjoyed.
Emily regained her strength and stood up, eager to welcome him with a warm embrace.
Just then, a familiar figure came in from outside the sanctuary.
The man was tall and straight, with a cold temperament. His face, which looked like a work of art, was extremely handsome, which made people intoxicated at first glance.
His steps were steady, and his aura was strong. His entire being exuded the aura of a superior.
Seeing his face, Emily couldn't help but stop, and deep love appeared in her eyes.
"Ryan, you're finally back!"
The man looked up at her.
Under the light, his eyes were so deep that no one could see any emotion in them.
She thought he would walk over quickly as usual and give her a warm hug. After kissing her forehead, he would explain to her it was late.
But he did nothing.
He stood where he was and stared at her. His thin lips opened slightly, and what he said made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
He said, "Let's get divorced."
His voice is devoid of any emotion
