Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1075

They looked at each other and smiled. Willy had no more worries, and Vanessa was obviously relieved. It would be a lie to say that she was not upset. Fortunately, the situation then was not beyond salvaging.

After weighing the pros and cons, at that moment, even if her so-called future daughter-in-law was not very satisfactory, Vanessa's perception towards her was no longer the same as before.

"Mom, I still have something to deal with, so I have to go now..."

Willy got up, but was stopped by Vanessa, pulling on his sleeve. "Are you not even going to eat?"

He was about to say something, but she interrupted him again.

"You can't go and visit people empty-handed! Even if you won't eat, does that mean she doesn't have to either? I'll ask the kitchen to make a simple dinner for you, and also cook some nutritious soup for you to bring for her!"

She reached out and called for a servant before continuing.

"Although pregnant women need nourishment, they also need to control their diet at a time like this. If the fetus grows too big, it won't be easy to give birth! Well make some light dishes! Does she want fish or chicken soup? Does she like to eat those? Which one does she prefer?"

"Fish, then!" Willy decided.

After which, he chatted with Vanessa for a while more, ate a meal, and went over the whole process again. Each time when they went over all the details, they would feel shocked once more. When he walked out of the house, Vanessa's sense of justice was on the verge of exploding. She felt very sympathetic to the helpless yet tough woman, and her mood was indescribable then.

After sending him to the door, Vanessa kept reminding him.

"A pregnant woman's emotions are volatile. You have to watch your words and don't lose your temper! This matter needs to be resolved quickly, and it can't happen again! Her body can't stand the torment..."

"Mom, I know. Don't worry! I'll come back to see you another day!"

After getting in the car, Willy couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. If Vanessa was someone who had won Alfred's heart for so many years, there was no way she could be that kind of person!

As he drove along the road, the knots in his heart had mostly been untied, and he gradually regained his rational thinking after calming himself. Soon, he put the names of several people together.

Zedd? Kylie? Hallie, and... Penny!

He knew Lauren's past like the back of his hand, and hatred began to grow. It must have been Kylie, while Hallie was definitely the one who understood the situation and also had some feelings towards him. She had once expressed her love for him, and her current marriage was unfortunate as well. It just so happened that he began to set his sight on Lauren. It was likely because it hurt her self-esteem that caused her to retaliate.

All of a sudden, the image of Kylie indignantly wanting to slap Lauren on the street, and how at the party, and how Hallie screamed at the two and said she wouldn't let them go appeared in his mind...

They were cousins. Even if Hallie and the Lance family had already come to the point where nothing could be salvaged, those two women were definitely the same in having a huge prejudice against Lauren. Of course, one was for the sake of Zedd, while the other one was just putting the blame of her anger on her.

Otherwise, considering Lauren's cold and low-profile character, how could someone be so ruthless if it weren't for some earth-shaking feud or grudge?

What about Penny? What role did she play in it?

Was she being misled by Hallie, or was she also involved?

Even if they broke up his relationship with Lauren, what good would it do them? The Bowles family didn't have much connection with the Clements family. Even if there was, it was just because he and Frederick worked together. It had nothing to do with her!

Worthless efforts like that...

At that moment, he heard the blaring sound of a horn. Suddenly returned to his senses, Willy realized that the light had turned green. When he started the car, an idea flashed across his mind.

"Are they afraid that I'll become a form of support to Frederick?"
