As soon as these words were uttered, everyone turned their gaze to Ellis.â
The journalists immediately asked more questions.
âThatâs right, Mr. Ellis, we came here today for this matter, so stop advertising for your company!â
âMr. Ellis, do you have azoospermia?â
âIs Miss Davisâs child yours?â
The series of question after question made Ellis tighten his jaw, and he looked toward Mary.
It wasnât until a moment later that he spoke. âAzoospermia was the result of the examination, but I havebeen receiving treatment recently. As for the child⦠of course, itâs mine. My wife and I have alwaysbeen deeply in love; please donât believe the rumors
out there.â
After saying these words, he walked over to Mary and grabbed her arm.
Mary looked at him.
After a moment, she pursed her lips and walked together with him toward the journalists.
Mary knew that this was something she, as the wife of
â
Ellis, should do always maintain a glamorous image in public.
She had seen it all her life. Couples from wealthy
families were like that.
No matter how severely husband and wife quarreled privately, they always appeared close andaffectionate in public.
Uncle Ken was like that. Both he and his wife had
affairs. At home, they quarreled to the point of drawing
knives on each other.
But as soon as they heard journalists were coming for an interview, they could immediately transforminto a
loving couple.
These were their basic skills.
Wearing an appropriate smile, Mary joined Ellis in front of the journalists.
Ellis turned sideways, bent over, and patted her head. âMy wife and I share a harmonious relationship,unlike
what the rumors suggested. I hope everyone wonât spread false information. Please donât focus toomuch on our personal lives. We should be focusing more on my companyâs strategies.â
This statement made the journalists cast doubtful glances at him.
Someone put it bluntly. âMr. Ellis, if you have azoospermia, how could the child possibly be yours?â
âRecently, we heard about a scandal in your circles involving Miss Davis. Are you two really that
affectionate?â
Ellis replied indifferently. âWe are. The scandal is a fabrication. I believe youâve also heard theclarification
from Mr. Austin Gillâs clarification.â
Seeing they couldnât get more out of Ellis, someone shifted the focus to Mary.
âMiss Davis, do you really love Mr. Ellis? Is your union with him an arranged marriage? We all knowthat there are some messy affairs within wealthy families⦠Your marriage to him was for the sake ofthe family, right?â
Hearing that Ellis frowned about to speak but Marv
said, âI married him because it was an arranged
marriage.â
The journalists were instantly stunned.
Everyone turned their astonished gazes toward Mary.
Ellisâs expression darkened as well.
But just when everyone was excited, thinking they had caught hold of the coupleâs weakness, theyheard Mary speak again, âBut itâs also because I love him.â
Everyone was taken aback.novelbin
Ellis was flabbergasted as well.
Everyone turned their gaze to Mary and saw a smile on
her face.
For some reason, that smile seemed a bit sad. She slowly looked down at the journalists below, thenback at Ellis, and said slowly, âI fell in love with him when I was 18 years old.
âI remember it was a summer when I recklessly
offended someone I shouldnât have provoked. That day after school, a group of them cornered me inan alley, intending to beat me, when Ellis stepped in.â
Back then, Ellis had a lollipop in his mouth and was
leaning lazily against a wall with a game console in his hand. He looked over at that gang of thugs andsaid in a measured tone, âYouâre so noisy. All of you should
shut up.â
Then, after a casual glance at them, he coolly added, âDonât force me to beat you up.â
He leaned against the wall, and the setting sun in the distance cast a warm glow over him with its redbeams.
Even now, Mary still remembered Ellisâs appearance that day vividly.
Mary said earnestly, âFrom that day on, that daring and willful boy, who seemed like a little devil in the eof others, took residence in my heart.
âI know everyone has some misunderstandings abo him, thinking heâs the unapproachable Mr. Ellis ofthe Olsen family, but to me, he has always been that
courageous young man.
âAll these years, Ellis hasnât really changed.â
Mary didnât look at Ellis, but her words made him
haritato
Ellis stared at Mary, struggling to remember the incident she was talking about; he didnât evenremember having such a past.
When he was young, he was indeed a troublemaker and would speak up against injustice.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The way Mary was speaking at the moment gave him an odd illusion.
He felt that Mary loved him.
This illusion suddenly filled him with excitement.
Because of this illusion, he even felt he could tolerate her having another manâs childâ¦
Ellis was deep in thought when he heard the reporters start to speak. âMiss Davis, you donât have tofabricat any love stories here. We all know whatâs going on with you and Mr. Ellis; itâs just a shotgunwedding, right? However, Mr. Ellisâs medical report shows that he has been diagnosed withazoospermia, so Miss Davis, is the child really Mr. Ellisâs?â
Upon hearing this, Mary looked again at Ellis.
She suddenly smirked. âItâs his.â
Ellis clenched his iaw and didnât say a word.

B/B
The reporters immediately started to challenge her.
âHow could it be his?â
âThe doctorâs diagnosis clearly states that he has
azoospermia. Miss Davis, are you lying without even looking at the report?â
âMiss Davis, there are rumors that youâve been involved with many men. Is that true?â
âMr. Ellis, can you tolerate her? Or are you planning to accept this child for the sake of the Olsenfamilyâs reputation? Do you really intend to raise another
manâs child?â
Ellisâs expression darkened as he listened, and he was about to say something when he heard Maryintervene. âI have a way to prove the child is Mr. El
Ellis was taken aback, suddenly getting a bad feeling
And sure enough, she said, âI never knew why spouses had to prove who the real father is, but now,with everyone doubting and questioning, I am willing to do a public DNA test!â
As soon as these words came out, the scene instantly
erupted into commotion.
Wayne blurted out without thinking. âMary, have you gone mad?! How can you do a DNA test underthese circumstances?â
After those words were shouted, the reporters immediately seized upon them.
âMay I ask why she canât have one?â
âIs it because the child isnât Ellisâs?â
Mary looked at them with a cold laugh and then turned to Ellis. âLetâs go to the hospital now.â
