"Tell me, where did the baby in your belly come from?"
"I...I don't know either," Eliana answered.
Eliana Mcmillan nearly broke down. She didn't even have a boyfriend. How could she be pregnant?
However, it was impossible for the test result in her hand to be fake.
She had no choice but to accept this fact no matter how ridiculous things were.
She was impregnated and the identity of the child's father was unknown!
Mr. Mcmillan was so angry upon hearing that. He almost smashed the tea set in his hand on her.
He thought that his daughter was fat and ugly so no man would like her.
It was unexpected that she would get pregnant before getting married and no one knew who the man who made her pregnant was.
A good deed goes unnoticed but scandal spreads fast. Eliana didn't know how the news of her being pregnant before marriage got out. All the people around were talking about it.
"The eldest daughter of the Mcmillan family is ugly and fat. Who would want to do that kind of thing with her? Could that man be blind?"
"Perhaps, the other party is uglier than her! I heard that it was a thief who sneaked in in the middle of the night. She took the initiative to ask for it."
"She did such a shameful thing. Her engagement with the Santos family has not been canceled yet. If it were me, I would have broken off the engagement long ago!"
...
A few months later, when the rumors outside were already unpleasant to the ears. Eliana's fiance, Jagger Santos, finally showed up.
At this time, Eliana was already nearing the end of her third trimester.
In the study room.
Mr. Mcmillan looked ashamed. "Mr. Santos, I understand why you came here today. I failed to teach my daughter well. We agree to break off the engagement," he said. Jagger Santos sighed. "It would be great if things could be so easy," he thought to himself.
"This marriage... cannot be broken off!"
There was a huge gap between the two families. It was the Mcmillan family that was trying to build ties with the Santos Family.
Since such a thing had happened to the Mcmillan family, it was reasonable for the Santos family to break off the engagement. 'Why was it not done?'
He was also angry for being cuckolded by his fiancee. However, he couldn't break off the engagement. He wondered if the illegitimate child would be allowed to call him father.
That was a great shame!
Mr. Mcmillan knew that he was in the wrong. He patted his thigh and promised, "Don't worry, Mr. Santos. After the baby is born, I will send the child away immediately."
Eliana, who was eavesdropping outside the door, immediately rushed in when she heard she had to send her child away. "No. No one is allowed to send my child away," she said with a determined look.
After ten months of pregnancy, she already formed a bond with the baby in her belly!
The child was innocent. If worst comes to worst, she would just break off the engagement!
However, before she said that she would break off the engagement, her stomach suddenly began to hurt, and a stream of blood flowed out between her legs.
Oh no, the child was about to be born!
...
Six years later. At the airport.
"Mom, are we back to see Dad this time?"
Ayla Mcmillan had been imagining what her father looked like, and her eyes were full of expectation.
Eliana pinched her daughter's face and tied her hair up. She looked much more energetic than before.
"You jumped out of Mommy's armpits. You don't have a father."
Ayla's white and round face was a little angry at this time. "Mom is lying. Other children have a father, I must have a father too."
Eliana did not reply her. She carried her luggage in one hand and walked forward with her daughter in the other.
Her long, shoulder-length hair was tied up. Her skin was fair, her nose bridge was high, and her figure was graceful. She was undoubtedly a beautiful sight.
Seeing that her mother ignored her, Ayla was not angry. Her beautiful big eyes curved. "If we're not looking for dad, then are we back to find brother?"
It was a good idea to find her brother, so that she would have someone to play with.
"Brother." she thought.
When she heard Alya mention about the missing child, Eliana's heart sank.
Six years ago, she gave birth to the twins. However, her father threw the child into a trash bin while she was in a coma.
After she woke up, she didn't care about her massive bleeding post labour. She found Ayla in the trash bin but she couldn't find the other child.
Upon thinking of this, she felt like there was a knife stabbed in her heart.
Six years ago, she was on the verge of death. If it hadn't been for her aunt's timely arrival, she would have died long ago. She was finally cured of her hormone failure that caused weight gain in her.
However, no one knew how much suffering the child without his mother's protection would suffer.
She came back to the country to deal with the engagement with the Santos family. Another purpose was that she also wanted to find the child.
She received a text message after leaving the airport.
"You've been targeted."
"Who is it?" she asked.
"Who else could it be? It's Brady Lane. The one who invited you to treat the illness but was rejected before! Although Brady may be aloof but he is handsome. Why don't you take this opportunity to trick him to be the father for the child? At least it's better than lying to your child often then and say that she was from your armpit."
Eliana smiled and said, "I'll leave such a top-grade item to you."
Although the Lane family was rich enough to fight against a country, the fights between wealthy families were no less than any internal fights.
If she saved someone from the Lane family, she might get involved in some random murder case one day.
The main purpose of her returning to the country this time was to find her son. She couldn't be meddlesome.
After replying to the text message, she casually threw the phone into her pocket and looked down coldly.
She didn't expect to meet her old acquaintance so soon.
A man stood in an eye-catching position at the exit of the airport. He was dressed in a suit and had a sunny demeanor. He looked more mature than he had been five years ago. He was her fiance, Jagger.
At this time, he was holding the pick-up card in his hand. He stood there impatiently and complained, "When will that fatty come out?"
The butler behind him said, "Mr. Santos, please be patient. The old man specially told us not to make things too ugly even if we wanted to break off the engagement."
Jagger frowned and looked a little anxious. "Be patient? I think it's disgusting, isn't it? She was so fat before. She must be fatter after giving birth to a child. I'm afraid she doesn't want to break off the engagement. Why am I so unlucky to be entangled with such a person!"
These words fell into Eliana's ears but she didn't even look up.
In the past five years, she had proposed many times to break off the engagement. However, neither the Mcmillan family nor the Santos family agreed. She wondered who was it that was doing the entangling.
She just disregarded him and decided to leave with Ayla.
After Jagger finished speaking, he turned his head and his eyes lit up.
A beautiful woman was the first to come out of the airport. She made many heads turn. The whole airport seemed to be brighter at the moment she appeared.
Seeing that the woman was getting closer, Jagger stood up straight. He tidied up his luxurious suit and smiled. "Beauty, how shall I address you?" he asked confidently.
At this moment, he acted like a peacock flaunting its tail.
Eliana stopped in her tracks and looked at him coldly.
"Eliana Mcmillan."
