Unwanted Marriage: Honey, No More Divorce!

Chapter 501: You’ll Have To Get Used To This

"Mr. Lucas, for how long have you been together with Ms. Tanner? Why didn’t you inform the public about your relationship with her?"

"Does Ms. Tanner’s child belong to you? How did she end up in the hospital?"

"You fought with Ms. Tanner? She doesn’t seem happy."

"When are you getting married to Ms. Tanner? Will you marry her before or after the child is born?"

"One at a time, please..." said Christian outside the ward. He sounded a little anxious when he spoke, "I will first answer the question that most of you asked.

"Indeed, Zen is my girlfriend. We’ve been together for quite some time. We did not tell anyone about our relationship because Zen prefers to keep a low profile. At the same time, we want to protect both mother and child.

"We did have a fight. She was too obsessed with her designs that she kept staying up. She didn’t take good care of herself. We’ve argued about this previously. I bet you all know what happened next. She refused to listen.

"This time, she’d pushed herself to the limit, so she fainted at home after drawing the whole night. I was almost scared to death when I sent her to the hospital.

Fortunately, both mother and child are safe.

"However, I did not expect that soon after she woke up, she kept asking for design materials as she had a stroke of inspiration all of a sudden.

"I bet all of you saw the materials on her table inside the ward. She said design is her life, she loves this job very much. She even threatened me with the child in her tummy, that if I didn’t give her what she asked for, she would go for an abortion.

"I knew she said this out of anger. She loves the child so much. How could she bear to go for an abortion? However, after this incident, I now know just how much she loves fashion design. I have no choice but to prepare the materials for her. I do not wish to upset her anymore. freewёbnoνel.com

"I hope she will produce something that she likes, something that will also be well received in the market."

"Ms. Tanner is such an enthusiastic designer. Previously, I bought a few clothes designed by her, and I like them very much. I hope she achieves her dream and may her designs be well received worldwide."

"I bought her designs too. Previously, when she was still working at the DR Group, she produced some designer wear that were so beautiful."

"Ms. Tanner is indeed the role model of every career woman in this new era. I admire her so much. I myself stopped running around as a news reporter when I was pregnant back them."

Zen frowned as she overheard the conversation outside the ward. Christian admitted that she was his girlfriend? Zen felt so surprised when she heard it. Christian did not love her at all. Why was he telling the press that she was her girlfriend?

He even told the press that she spent nights working endlessly on her designs. It was Christian who forced her into it. What a great liar indeed.

"Mr. Lucas, may I know when the both of you are getting married?"

"Ms. Tanner had gone missing for quite some time. Is she resting at home because of the child?"

"That’s right. We were so happy when we knew that Zen was pregnant. So I told her to quit her job and rest at home. But I didn’t expect that she would continue designing even though she’s at home. As for our marriage, I’ll definitely let you know when the time comes," Christian answered.

Christian had already answered most of the questions, and he had already achieved his goal. So he smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. That’s all for today then. I need to take care of Zen now. You may follow my assistant. He’ll get lunch for all of you."

...

After Christian got rid of the reporters, the ward became dead silent once again. Zen looked at Christian, who had returned to her ward. The smile on his face had faded.

He took a glance at the drawing paper and other art materials on the small table and said coldly, "Draw me something now!"

"What are you trying to do?" Zen had asked this question countless times.

However, she did not know what Christian was up to even at this point. As the situation turned more unusual, she got increasingly frightened.

"You don’t have to know what I am up to," said Christian, "I will tell you what you need to know. You don’t need to know things that don’t concern you. By the way, don’t spout nonsense in front of the reporters."

Zen took a deep breath as she looked at the man standing in front of her. She repeated her need to know what was going on fter some hesitation, "I am not going to draw anything for you if you refuse to tell me what you are up to."

"Zen Tanner, do you think I will hesitate to get rid of this child, even though he’s my flesh and blood?" asked Christian coldly.

Zen did not dare to even think about it. Christian was a ruthless man. There was nothing in this world that he could not do. Furthermore, he did not care about this child at all.

"Before you’re discharged, I will visit you every single day," said Christian as he stared at Zen. His gaze was terrifying. Then, he adjusted his tie, looking very pleased.

"Visit me every single day?" This was what Zen wanted in the past. She had always hoped he would take a few more glances at her. But now, she was frightened.

"Rest well, my dear Mrs. Lucas-to-be." Christian then turned around and left.

Zen collapsed onto the bed. She was shivering in fear. She was terrified. She caressed her tummy as a sense of foreboding came over her. She had a bad feeling about this, and that feeling was getting stronger.

She wanted to keep the child safe, but it seemed more difficult to do so now. There was only one way for her to save her child, and that was to leave Christian for good.

But how?

Christian constantly had someone guarding her 24/7 for the past few days. Now that her tummy was so big, how could she possibly leave the ward unnoticed?

Zen felt desperate. If it was in the past, she could seek Wendy’s help.

But she had lost her only friend. Because of Christian, she betrayed Wendy. She had betrayed her one and only friend.

She felt guilty towards Wendy. She dared not look for her again to ask for help.

Zen was feeling deep regret. She was in such a miserable state because of Christian.

In the first place, she was the one who saw how Wendy fell into a miserable state because of Michael.

She even vowed that she would not be as foolish as Wendy, that she would never be so devoted to a man and love him wholeheartedly. But why was she unable to stick to her vow? Even after she knew that Christian was a demon, she still chose him eventually.

It was such a pity that she was not as fortunate as Wendy. After all that suffering, she had finally found happiness. Now, Now, Michael loved her to bits, and she was living her happily ever after with her two kids. How about herself? She had gained nothing at all.

She took a deep breath as she caressed her baby bump. Her tears started to flow uncontrollably as she said, "Baby, you’re the only one I have now. No matter what price I have to pay, I will protect you. You have to be good, okay? You have to grow up strong and healthy. Mommy wouldn’t know how to live without you."

...

The next day, Wendy and Michael went to MC Enterprise. Since she had nothing else to do, she decided to help Michael with his work.

"Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Lucas," everyone greeted them politely as soon as they saw the couple.

Wendy was puzzled. She asked Michael softly, "Did you tell them to address me as Mrs. Lucas?"

How else could every single person in the company know that she was Mrs. Lucas?

Her current identity was Corrine Swift. Perhaps someone recognized her and knew she was Wendy Stewart. But it was impossible for all of them to know about this.

Even then, they should be addressing her as Ms. Stewart or Ms. Swift instead of Mrs.

Lucas.

Michael nodded proudly. He even put on a cheeky smile on his face, waiting to be praised.

Wendy did not know how to react upon seeing that cheeky face. She then said, "Mr.

Lucas, despite your busy schedule, you managed to find the time to inform your staff about such a trivial matter?"

"This is not a trivial matter," said Michael seriously. "I have to let everyone know that you are my wife." He then held her hand tightly as they walked.

The staff started to gossip.

"Corrine Swift is actually Wendy Stewart. Look at Mr. Lucas. He’s so sweet towards his wife."

"That’s right. Mr. Lucas informed us in advance that Wendy will be here today. He even instructed us to address her as Mrs. Lucas."

"Look! He is holding Mrs. Lucas’s hand. I am so envious!"

"No point being envious. Only an outstanding woman like Mrs. Lucas is compatible with Mr. Lucas. As for the rest of us, we’ll just have to work hard and work for the money. Then we’ll have a big feast as a reward."

"Previously, there was some netizen who had labeled Mr. Lucas a jerk. Look at the both of them now. They’re so loving."

...

Wendy felt embarrassed when she overheard their conversation. She cleared her throat deliberately and wanted to pull her hand out of Michael’s grip. But Michael held on to her so tightly that she could not break free at all.

"Stop struggling, Mrs. Lucas. You’ll have to get used to this sooner or later," smiled Michael.

"I wonder who dared not tell others about my identity in the past. When I was just an assistant, he bullied me almost every day."

Michael apologized to Wendy immediately when she brought up the past, "I admit that I’m the one who did that to you. I am so sorry. I didn’t know that I would be so deeply in love with you after that. If I had known, I would rather torture myself than bully you."

In fact, Wendy no longer cared about the past. She allowed Michael to hold her hand as they walked into the elevator.

"Mr. and Mrs. Lucas..." Yonina called out from behind. When the doors were closing, Yonina rushed forward and squeezed in.

She breathed a sigh of relief as she went into the elevator, sayinG, "Oh my gosh! I have been hearing people talk about just how envious they are of the both of you. All the way from the entrance."

Yonina gazed at their hands, which were tightly woven together. She then said deliberately, "Tsk, tsk, tsk... what a loving couple! Are you sure you came to the place to work?"

"Find yourself a boyfriend if you are envious. You may then show off how loving the both of you are," Michael teased Yonina sarcastically.

"I’m different. My focus is on my career, unlike you. You’re too busy being lovey-dovey with Wendy to be focusing on your career," said Yonina as she pouted her mouth slightly. However, she was envious of them too. freewёbnoνel.com

If she could find a man who loved her and doted on her like how Michael treated Wendy, she would not mind falling in love with that person.
