I looked up at him blankly. If I hadn't known what Noah did behind my back, I would have thought he was thinking about me. However, I had already decided to leave Chilverstone.
"You’re right. I believe it can make everyone happy."
Noah was surprised and hugged me as he promised like an oath, "I will treat you well for the rest of my life, Nadine. When the child grows up, we will go sightseeing. Don't you always want to go back and see where you grew up?"
He kept talking about the beautiful future, but he didn't know that this perfect new life would never start, because I was leaving.
Noah was so impatient that he took Airish and the child back to Chilverstone within two or three days to hold a family dinner.
"I thought I should also tell my parents. They must’ve been missing their grandchildren too." Noah looked at me cautiously, afraid that I would be angry.
In the Clark Family villa, my parents teased Eric. Their faces full of joy as grandparents for the first time. Airish sat next to them, just like a little girl.
My mother cherished her grandson and caressed Airish with pity, "You’ve been struggling outside. Don't worry, dear, your child will be the first grandson of our family!"
I felt my eyes stung, but I still smiled and went forward to say hello. My parents were extremely cold all of a sudden, "Who are you showing your bad face to? Are you deliberately making things difficult for us? Look at Airish, how much more sensible she is than you."
"I really don't understand what you are doing. You are about to give birth and you are still eating nonsense. Now, the child is gone and in the end, Airish has to clean up your mess."
"Knowing that the Riders Family's in-laws will come today, you are still wearing such a plain dress like that? You never know how to add glory to the family. You should be self-aware in the first place. It is your fault, causing Airish to be unable to return to the country for so many years and being bullied abroad."
I knew my parents look down on me. They thought I couldn't bring them honour and I was not worthy of the identity of the Clark Family's daughter. It was a pity that Airish, the daughter who made them proud, was not their biological child. Until Airish took the initiative to go abroad, Riders Family couldn't do without me. They had to accept their fate, but they were even more dissatisfied with me.
My father didn't send me off at the wedding and my mother sat in her seat with a sullen face.
Noah used to protect me and speak for me, but then his eyes were glued to Airish, full of tenderness. He completely forgot that I was stillborn because he took advantage of my trust and put abortion pills in the food.
Airish walked up to me with the child in her arms and curved her eyes sincerely, "Sister, look at Eric Jacob, isn't he very cute?"
He was indeed very cute. His eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Airish. Meanwhile, his lips and chin were carved from the same mold as Noah.
I brushed the child's face with my fingertips and a huge hatred appeared in my eyes.
However, why could he live well and enjoy a rich and beautiful life, while my child was poisoned to death and couldn't even see this world?
"Eric Jacob?"
"Yes, Noah's friend helped me find a boy’s name for him. I hope he can enjoy a noble life, peace and wealth in the future."
On contrary, in order to find the name for my child, I flipped through the dictionary with good meaning that can bless him with health, happiness and peace. Noah laughed at me for doing useless work. He said that the child's fate was determined at birth and naming was just psychological comfort.
Turning around, I spent tens of millions to find a fortune teller to name Airish and his child. With a bitter mouth, I tried to smile, "It is indeed a good name."
I found that the child's expression was not right. My palm slid to his neck, but before I could do anything, I heard Airish scream, "Sister, what do you want to do with my child?"
