Chapter 192
Nolan was very distressed as his young wife had kicked him out.
‘I just wanted to help her get changed. It’s not like I was going to do anything to her. Was that necessary?
“Mr. Goldmann.” Stephen came over slowly.
Nolan adjusted the hem of his jacket, and his expression returned to being indifferent and cool. “Mr. Vanderbilt?”
“Is Zee all right now?”
“She’s fine, alive and well,” Nolan answered indifferently. He then thought of something and added, “You can go in later.”
After Maisie changed into her clothes, Stephen opened the door, entered the ward, and placed the thermos in his hand on the table. “This is the broth that I asked the housekeeper to cook for you. This will help replenish your body.”
“Okay, I’ll drink it later.” Maisie accepted it.
Stephen walked up to the chair next to the bed, sat down, and slowly explained, “Zee, I’m sorry, I’m the one who harmed you. I didn’t expect that Leila would do such a thing to you.”
Maisie could not help but be startled.
‘Leila? Me being taken away and being injected with ecstasy, all those were parts of Leila’s scheme!?’
Her eyes gradually turned gloomy.
‘Leila almost tumed me into a drug addict. I’ll definitely get back at her for this!’
“I asked her for divorce earlier today, but I didn’t expect that she’s actually… She’s pregnant.”
Stephen’s words stunned Maisie once again, and she was also a little surprised. “She’s pregnant?”
‘She’s that fast?
“Yes, Zee, I’m really useless. But don’t worry, I’m just letting her stay in Vanderbilt manor for the sake of the child. I plan to divorce her after the child is bom.”
“Why? Since you’re the daughter of the de Armas, is there any problem with us announcing your identity?” Louis intertwined his fingers, propped them against his chin, and looked at her.
Willow did not dare look him in the eyes, and her hands placed under the table were trembling a bit. “Isn’t this a little too fast? In fact, it doesn’t really bug me even if you don’t disclose my identity to the public.”
“That won’t work.” Louis crossed his arms, leaned back, and looked out of the window. “My grandfather is very happy to be reunited with my aunt’s daughter. You’re the main reason the banquet on the day after tomorrow is being held.”
Panic flashed across Willow’s eyes.
‘I didn’t expect the Lucases to announce my identity to the public. If that’s so, won’t it be…’
“What are you afraid of? Is the identity of the daughter of the de Armas so shameful?” Louis’ eyes looked sharp.
“Of course not… Must you make it public? Can’t you let me prepare myself for that?”
“We’re only going to disclose your identity. What else do you need to prepare?” A trace of impatience beamed through Louis’ eyes. He finished drinking the coffee on the table, slowly got up, and left.
Cold sweat had drenched Willow’s back while her hands were trembling in fear
