Mary moved back home.
When Keira received her video call, she was slightly taken aback, âWhy so sudden? What about yourparentsâ¦â
In the video, Mary smiled faintly. âIâm now Ellisâs fiancée. They couldnât wait to hold me up high, howdare they lay a finger on me now? Donât worry! Iâm the Davis familyâs princess now!â
Keira stared into her eyes. âMary, tell me the truth. Does Ellis believe that this child is his?â
Mary nodded, âYeah, he does! Thatâs why weâre marrying because of the child!â
Having said that, she sighed. âBut heâs naturally promiscuous; if not for this child, Iâm afraid he wouldnâthave married me.â
Keira immediately said, âThen donât get married! We canât let a child trap your entire life.â
âDonât be silly.â
Mary winked at her. âItâs such a great opportunity. Of course, Iâm going to seize it! Iâm not after him as aperson; Iâm after the status of Mrs. Ellis! Once I marry him, I want to see how Victoria and Christina canstill act so high and mighty in front of us!ânovelbin
Keira wanted to talk her out of it, but Mary suddenly became serious. âKeera, Iâm not like you. I wasborn into a large family; I have a mission to fulfill with this arranged marriage. If I donât marry him, notonly will my reputation be ruined, but Iâll probably be sold off by my uncle. So, after much consideration,this is the best outcome.
Keira still looked at her with concern, âAre you sure you have thought this through?â
âYes.â
Mary beamed. âHis parents are here; weâre about to discuss the wedding. Iâll stop chatting nowâ
As she said that, she turned the camera around, and just then, several luxury cars drove in. Keira
nodded.
After hanging up, she looked at Lewis stepping out, frowning slightly. âI always feel thereâs somethingoff about Maryâs emotions, and Ellis has come around that quickly?â
Lewis replied, âFor Mary, he even accepted the child that he believed not to be his. What else is thereto think through?
Keira tilted her head. âIs that so?â
Of course, it wasnât!
Ellis was at that moment staring at Mary, his eyes blazing with fury.
Mary said yesterday that she wouldnât agree to the marriage.
So today when Ellisâ parents came to propose, he wanted to come along to see if she had changed hermind. He didnât expect that she would agree!
Ellisâ mother was holding Maryâs hand, praising her. âGood child! Ellis is a spoiled kid. If he doesnât
treat you well in the future, just come to me! Iâll back you up
âOkayâ
Mary nodded.
Ellisâ mother then took off her bracelet and handed it to her. âThis is our family heirloom, and from nowon, itâs yours! When the child is born, if itâs a girl, give it to her. If itâs a boy, give it to his wife?
Ellisâ mother looked at Mary, unable to contain her smile. âYouâre so beautiful. My darling grandchild willdefinitely be gorgeous too!!â
Mr. Olsen was also staring at Maryâs belly. It was impolite, but despite trying to look away, as soon ashe thought about his dear grandchild, he couldnât shift his gaze.
For so many years, the companyâs affairs had been managed by his younger brother, the future washanded over to his son, bypassing himself, the moderately capable eldest brother.
As a result, he had been slacking off at home.
If this child were born, he would be able to look after his grandchild!
As a child, he relied on his father.
As he grew up, he depended on his younger brother.
He was approaching fiftyâfive, and he relied on his son.
Once he turned eighty, he would rely on his grandchild!
Everything was just perfect!
Both were extremely satisfied with Mary as their future daughterâinâlaw!
Ellis watched them, his gaze falling on Mary, his expression changing several times, looking incrediblyupset.
Then the two families began to discuss the wedding date.
Ellis casually said, âThereâs no hurry, right? After all, sheâs still pregnant!â
Ellisâ mother immediately said, âWhat are you talking about? Itâs precisely because sheâs pregnant thatwe need to hurry! We canât wait until her belly is too big, can we? That wouldnât look good. Right,Mary?â
Mary hung her head and nodded, âAuntieâs right.â
âI think itâs best to do it within three months!â
Ellisâ mother said, âOtherwise, letâs pick a date in the middle of next month!â
It was only the beginning of the monthâ¦.
Thinking about the task Keera had mentioned, the sooner they got married, the better, Mary said.âAuntic, maybe thatâs not a good idea.â
Ellis sneered internally, glad that the woman still had a shred of decency.
Just as he was thinking about this, Mary said, âI want to do it this month
330 Chapter 335
Ellis was dumbfounded.
Ellisâ mother and Mr. Olsen were also taken aback, and even Maryâs parents and Ken started coughingand giving her meaningful glances.
A woman shouldnât be too eager to get married!
But Mary seemed to have not noticed their looks and just looked at Ellisâ mother. âIs that okay?â Ellisâmother nodded, âThatâs fine, but itâs so rushed. The wedding dress and the hotel might not be up toparâ¦.
Mary hurriedly said, âJust getting a certificate is fine; itâs also okay if we donât have a ceremonyâ
âHow can that be possible?â Ellisâ mother held her hand. âYou are our daughterâinâlawâtoâbe whomweâve approved. We canât let you be illâtreated! So, this month it is! With the financial power of theOlsen and Davis families, I donât believe we canât prepare a wedding in a few days!â
Mary nodded. âOkayâ
Ellis didnât know what to say.
Once the parents from both sides had chosen the date, Mary picked one that was particularly soon,almost just a week away.
Then the parents on both sides started discussing the wedding details, asking Mary to take Ellis up ther room to sit for a while.
Mary obediently nodded and led Ellis upstairs. As soon as the two entered the room, Ellis grabbed.Mary and pinched her chin, making her look up at him.
Ellis said fiercely, âWhat? Have you decided to have an abortion? You want to hold the wedding in aweek. Do you think you have enough time for a medical abortion now?â
Mary immediately grabbed his hand. âEllis, this child is yours. Three months will pass quickly, and thenIâll have an amniocentesis with you. If itâs not yours, I will abort it right away, alright?â
Ellis stared at her, then suddenly sneered. âNow I understand why youâre so desperate to marry me. Isit because you know that after three months, I can get it tested, and you want to marry me before thethree months are up?!â
Maryâs face turned pale.
Ellis glared at her. âWhat do you think will happen if I go down right now and tell them the child isnâtmine?â
Mary immediately became anxious. âDonât!â
âDonât?â Ellis suddenly laughed, looking at her with a frivolous gaze. âIf you want me to endure thishumiliation, then shouldnât you do something about it?â
Mary was startled. âWhat?â
Ellis suddenly began to rip open her clothes. âOf course, you need to do something that makes me feelpleasedâ¦
