It was just that I married less than half a year and Laurent's godfather passed away. Laurent's godfather was grateful for my care and left half of his inheritance to me. I didn't spend a penny of that inheritance and I was relieved to leave it to Laurent to manage.
In the past two years, every time I wanted to make our relationship public, he used my identity as a godmother to stop me.
"It's not good for you if we make our relationship public, so let's talk about it when the time is right."
Because of that heavy gratitude, I never said a word of no to Laurent. Now thinking back at it, he might not have thought of making our relationship public to outsiders. He only cared about his face. I suppressed those bad memories of the past and smiled coldly.
"So what? I am no longer the person I used to be. You want to get rid of me, your godmother and marry this bitch, I will make your life restless."
Laurent stared at me coldly. "Don't make a fuss, Julie is a good girl, not the bitch you say. If you dare to say that to her again, you will lose the property under your name. "
Listening to Laurent's increasingly shameless words, I subconsciously kicked the man in the lower body, wish I could making him childless. However, Laurent reacted quickly, dodged, grabbed my wrist and pushed me hard onto the sofa beside me.
The next second, I fainted.
In the hospital, before I opened my eyes, I heard Laurent and Julie arguing.
Julie said in a teasing tone, "Laurent, does your godmother have someone else outside? She's pregnant."
Laurent sneered, "If she's pregnant, get rid of it. The reputation of my Edwards family can't be ruined in her hands."
I lay on the bed and touched my belly unconsciously, tears kept falling.
When they left the ward, I walked to the hospital lobby in a daze. I stroked my belly and watched other husbands supporting their pregnant wives and I couldn't help but sigh.
Before I walked out of the hospital gate, Laurent took me home with a dark face. He never mentioned the pregnancy from beginning to end.
Looking at his cold attitude towards me, I sneered and asked back, "You know I'm pregnant, right?"
Laurent didn't speak, but his eyes couldn't help but stare at my belly.
I stared at his unhappy look and the corners of my mouth rose slightly, "I heard Julie say that I have someone outside, do you think I should bring your stepfather in?"
Laurent pulled my arm angrily. "How dare you!? Melinda, I'm only on a business trip for a month and you dare to find another man behind my back. Who is that man?"
I raised the corners of my mouth and smiled at him, "It's your godfather."
Laurent was so angry that he arranged an abortion for me overnight, fearing that I would have a negative impact on his family's reputation. He was afraid that I would run away, so he specially arranged for Julie to watch me.
Julie smiled and took my hand and asked me, "Auntie, I know you like children. I am willing to help you leave as long as you don't bother Laurent anymore."
I raised my eyebrows and asked her, "Are you so kind? Believe it or not."
Although Julie's words had a big problem, I couldn't accept being imprisoned under Laurent's nose.
In the end, I agreed to Julie's proposal.
The night when Laurent prepared an abortion for me, Julie brought a man over.
I stared at Julie defensively, clenching my fists, fearing that Julie had set a trap for me. I only heard the man laughing and making a pleasant sound.
"Isn't she Laurent's godmother? If you want her to die, just say it. "
"William, hurry up, or Laurent will find you if you hesitate any longer."
I looked at the familiar face of the man and my heart stagnated. He was William Brandon, Laurent's good brother, always felt like I had seen him somewhere before. I didn't even know it turned out that William was Julie's cousin.
Julie took out a set of white clothes that could cover my face and asked me to put them on.
"There are cameras everywhere in the room. You two can pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend in front of Laurent and go out."
In order to escape from Laurent's control, I took the initiative to hold William's arm and followed him out.
As soon as I reached the door, Laurent came over with a cold face and frowned at me with my face wrapped tightly.
"William, who is she?" Laurent asked.
I trembled as I held his hard arm, hoping that he would not reveal the truth.
William coughed lightly, "Oh, this is my girlfriend. But she had urticaria these two days and it is not convenient for people to see her face."
Laurent's eyes kept falling on me, questioning, "You don't even have a female mosquito around you, how can you have a girlfriend?"
William asked seriously, "One-night stand in the bar, isn't it okay?"
Laurent frowned and reached out to grab my mask to find out.
