I also argued with Loretta about this, but Loretta always promised me to comfort my subordinates one second and turned a blind eye to Rico's actions the next second.
Rico took my work badge in a panic and the pride in his eyes almost overflowed.
Loretta frowned, ignoring the hidden meaning in my words and just said, “That's it, you've worked hard these years.”
After a pause, she seemed to be giving me a sweet date. “Let's move the wedding forward to next Saturday.”
Wedding? How much I was looking forward to it before returning home, how disappointed I was then.
I stared at her belly. My fiancée was pregnant with someone else's baby. I would be a fool if I did not cut my losses in time.
Loretta seemed to think that I just minded her wearing a wedding dress with a big belly. She was stunned for a moment and then said, “Don't worry, I will let the receptionist take my place. It's just a ceremony. As long as you don't mind, your bride will still be beautiful.”
I could not help but laugh out loud and sneered, “You are still so considerate.”
The woman I was getting engaged to was still pregnant with another man’s baby. So, the one who I would get married to was the fake one to replace her for a beauty.
What a convenience.
I was about to say something else when Rico held my work badge and said, “Congratulations, Mr. Chapman. You can finally put down your burden and be a good husband.”
Then he came to me quickly. The provocation and desire in his eyes almost overflowed.
I just heard him patting my shoulder with gnashing teeth and continued in a low voice, “From now on, you will serve Mrs. Keith at home and I will serve Mrs. Keith outside. Who do you think Mrs. Keith likes it better in bed?
“Looking at my performance this year, Mrs. Keith is very satisfied. You have to work hard!”
After saying that, he smiled and returned to Loretta’s back.
He even picked up his phone and shook it at me.
I opened my phone and saw the picture sent by Rico, showing Loretta with flushed cheeks leaning against Rico, both of them naked.
The dense kiss marks on Loretta's chest showed how fierce the battle was.
Haha, what a waste of time. I never believed a word of this test tube nonsense.
I would not open the picture and question Loretta, “Didn't we agree on a test tube?”
It was meaningless.
But should I be angry or sad?
No, I calmed down.
A mistress who did not want to be promoted was not a good mistress. It was normal that Rico did not want Loretta and I to get married.
After reading it, I gave him a cold smile.
He was stunned, too.
I did not get mad and could not let him continue the show.
He must be very disappointed.
I opened the message sent by Loretta’s mortal enemy, Miriam Hurst, sent me before I returned to the US.
The last message she sent was, [The storms in the US are very strong, so when you take shelter from the rain, remember that my house is very big. It would be even better if you can stay for a long time. You don't need to marry into my family, I will marry you instead.]
Miriam had openly expressed her love many times over the years, but these words seem inexplicable but contain a mystery.
I replied, [If you can come to the hotel to pick me up and take shelter from the rain within ten minutes, it will be as you wish.]
As soon as the message was sent, Miriam replied, [Three minutes!]
The complicated emotions had found a place to rest.
I looked up at Loretta and said sarcastically, “I don’t want to bring so much trouble for you to choose the bride for a wedding.
“Don't worry, just take good care of your pregnancy. I will take good care of my wedding, so you don't have to worry about the bride.”
Loretta frowned without any surprise, “What do you mean? I have already moved up the wedding to make you happy. Don't be so sarcastic.”
I curled my lips into a smile and explained lightly, “You don't think I'll still marry you even though you're pregnant with someone else's child, do you?”
“From the moment you showed up with your bulging belly, my bride had already been replaced in my heart.
“After today, we will go our separate ways.”
Loretta listened to what I said and I did not see a trace of sadness on her face, but more of helplessness, as if I was the one who did something wrong.
“Tyson, many people know about our relationship. I don't want to make it too bad. I can still afford your marriage. As long as you behave yourself, you will definitely have a meal in the Keith Family in the future.
“After I give birth to this child, I will ask you for another child. I won't let you down.”
These three views drove me crazy.
If I did not believe in science, I would have suspected that Loretta had a replacement. Since the Loretta who loved me so much before disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that I did not say anything, she said impatiently, “Stop making trouble. This is already a good result. You are no longer the young master of the Chapman Family. Without me and the platform of the Keith Family, you are nothing.”
I never knew that in Loretta's eyes, my wholehearted help was actually because I relied on her influence to get to where I was today.
And the inheritance rights of the Chapman Family that I gave up for her became a means for her to control me.
“Oh, don't bother yourself. I can afford to support my fiancé!” Miriam's voice sounded at the right time and Loretta's arrogant attitude began to crack.
Miriam pounced on me openly and I dodged sideways as usual.
Under Loretta's incredulous look, I unceremoniously hugged my fiancée in my arms.
