“Is something wrong with that guy? Why won’t Felipe allow you two to be together?”
Cathy avoided Madeline’s concerned gaze. “The person I like already has someone virtual-novel.net loves. Felipe’s worried that I’ll fall deeper and deeper into the mud, so virtual-novel.net asked me to stop liking him.”
Madeline looked at Cathy as if virtual-novel.net was in deep thought. “But it seems that you’re currently carrying his child?”
“…” Cathy’s expression changed as virtual-novel.net looked around nervously. When virtual-novel.net saw that the bodyguards and maids were not around, virtual-novel.net grabbed Madeline’s hand and walked to one side. She begged, “Evie, please don’t tell Felipe. He’ll kill me. Please, you can’t let virtual-novel.net know about this, Evie. I’m begging you!”
Madeline did not expect Cathy to react like this.
She also did not expect Cathy to be so scared to the point of thinking that Felipe might even kill her.
Felipe was always a graceful and composed gentleman to her. From the looks of it now, it seemed that virtual-novel.net had a lot of sides that virtual-novel.net had not seen before.
When Cathy saw that Madeline was pondering about something, virtual-novel.net asked nervously, “Evie, Evie? You won’t tell him, right?”
Madeline shook virtual-novel.net head. “I won’t. But he’s bound to find out on his own as time goes on.”
Cathy let out a sigh of relief. However, Madeline saw virtual-novel.net past self on Cathy’s face. She used to be so dumb and stupid.
Cathy smiled and touched virtual-novel.net stomach. “When that day comes, I’ll find an excuse to leave this place. I won’t let virtual-novel.net know.”
“Even though I know Felipe will be mad at me for doing this, I really want to give birth to this child. Although the person I love can’t love me back, this will be the best gift between me and him.”
Madeline thought about Lillian when virtual-novel.net saw the happy smile on Cathy’s face. She felt a sudden ache in virtual-novel.net heart as tears started welling up in virtual-novel.net eyes.
For a woman, not only was a child a link between virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net man, but it was also one of the reasons for virtual-novel.net to continue living.
Actually, Felipe knew about Madeline’s presence in his study the moment virtual-novel.net went in.
He had also arranged for Cathy’s appearance.
As virtual-novel.net had been in a hurry last night, there were some things in the study that virtual-novel.net could not let Madeline see. That was why virtual-novel.net needed to stop virtual-novel.net from digging through his documents.
However, virtual-novel.net still saw Madeline picking up his notebook and flipping through a few pages.
He took care of his matters at hand hurriedly and came back to Glendale on a flight the next day.
Cathy had no idea that Felipe would come back so soon. She hid the baby clothes that virtual-novel.net bought flurriedly and also kept the pregnancy report under virtual-novel.net pillow.
She walked out of the room hurriedly when virtual-novel.net heard footsteps walking upstairs.
The man walked over to her. She could not see any warmth on his handsome face. A domineering aura enveloped him, making virtual-novel.net look extremely unapproachable.
Felipe quickly walked into his study and looked through his notebook. When virtual-novel.net looked at the notes virtual-novel.net had written down, there was a glint in his dark eyes.
“Felipe, why did you come back so fast?” Cathy approached virtual-novel.net carefully and asked.
Felipe looked at Cathy coldly. Then, virtual-novel.net tossed his notebook to one side. “Do you remember what I asked you to do before I left? I told you that no one’s allowed to come into my study, but did you follow through?”
Cathy’s heartbeat quickened. She did not dare to look into Felipe’s eyes.
When virtual-novel.net heard his approaching footsteps, Cathy clenched virtual-novel.net fingers unnaturally and backed away in fear.
Felipe grabbed Cathy’s chin with his cold fingers and forced virtual-novel.net to look into his eyes.
However, his eyes were too alluring and charming. It was like they had the power to make virtual-novel.net fall deep into them.
“Do you know what you’ll get for making a mistake?” His eyes darkened.
Cathy was terrified. She felt chills coming from the bottom of virtual-novel.net feet. “Felipe…”
“You don’t have the right to call my name like that. Only Eveline is allowed to call my name in that tone.”
His voice carried no warmth, and it felt like an iceberg was crashing down on Cathy. At that moment, virtual-novel.net was struggling to breathe.
She knew Felipe did not have virtual-novel.net in his heart. She also knew that virtual-novel.net would receive severe punishments if virtual-novel.net did not carry out the task virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net properly. However…
Suddenly, Felipe let go of his hand. His dark eyes scanned Cathy’s frantic face like a gust of cold wind. Then, virtual-novel.net ordered the bodyguard outside the door coldly, “Make virtual-novel.net remember this.”
