Amused by his reaction, Leonard patted his back and commented, “Calm down. You don’t want to get a stitch later.”
Somehow, I didn’t know how to act. They seemed genuinely happy on receiving the news. They didn’t drive me away after they had heard what had happened as I had expected.
Warren caressed my hair affectionately and said in a doting voice, “See? The thing you are worried about is non-existent.”
I peered up at him in surprise. Everything I wanted to say was stuck in my throat. This man seemed to have already seen through all my thoughts and insecurities. “My daughter-in-law! Come here!”
Owen waved his hand and called me to him in high spirits. I was left stunned for a moment when I heard him. As the realization of what he’d called me sunk in, I felt even more awkward.
“I… I am not…” I muttered, but my voice was drowned out.
Owen hastily approached me with the others, wanting to take me to the hospital for a check-up. I had always been a coward in the face of authority. I reluctantly yielded and followed them to the hospital.
A large group of people escorted me to the hospital. The only person who could have eased my embarrassment, Warren, seemed to have morphed into the role of a father.
He was constantly chatting with the doctor about parenting tips.
However, I was in a daze. I wanted to protest, but I didn’t have the courage. Owen’s mere glance was enough to terrify me to death. Even though my only choice was to be obedient, I was not convinced. As soon as my eyes fell on Warren’s beaming face, I clenched my jaw with hatred.
Resisting was pointless though. In the end, I was still sitting in a VIP ward with everyone watching me as if I were a monkey in a circus.
After the doctor and the others left, Warren and I were the only ones left in the ward. I couldn’t hold back my rage anymore. I slammed the bed hard. The bed-frame shook violently and I felt like the bones in my palm almost snapped.
It hurt so much that my face contorted with pain. Damn It! Why was the bed in the VIP ward so hard? My action frightened Warren. He hurriedly took my hand and blew on it.
“Have you gone insane with joy?”
My eyes widened. Was he playing dumb or was he really blind? Did I look happy? I snatched my hand from his grip and frostily said, “Let me go. I won’t stay here.”
Warren helplessly sat next to me and wrapped his arms around me. “Do you feel uncomfortable here?”
“I feel uncomfortable everywhere!” I shoved him away and glared at him fiercely.
But I failed to make him budge. Instead, he scooted a little closer and pulled me onto his lap. “Don’t be so angry. It’s not good for the baby.”
This ignited my fury even more and I punched him multiple times in his chest. He didn’t stop me and just let me beat and bite him. Eventually, my fury exhausted me. Warren still held me in his arms as if nothing had happened. Even though he was still gentle and patient towards me, he remained persistent about us being together as a couple.
I inhaled deeply and slowly calmed myself down. This was taking me nowhere. Warren would neither be persuaded by reason nor cowed by f0rce. I would have to figure out another way to get away from him.
My brain was racing. Finally, I decided to set a honey trap for him. I would seduce him and use the opportunity to knock him out and escape.
Flora’s POV
After thinking for a while, I slowly said the word, “Honey.” Warren froze in place and vigilantly stared at me.
I fought the urge to roll my eyes when I noticed him tense up. I simply continued to fake a gentle, sweet voice as I said, “I didn’t mean to lose my temper. I’m pregnant, and I can’t control my emotions. You haven’t even asked me whether I want it or not.”
Upon hearing my explanation, Warren looked guilty. He turned me around so I could face him. “I’m sorry. I won’t f0rce you anymore. But can you promise me you won’t run away again? I really want to marry you, Flora. I like you so much.”
He lowered his voice by the time he told me he wanted to marry me. His earlobes also turned a dark shade of red, indicating that he was embarrassed.
Seeing him like this was a rare sight. This was the first time he told me that he liked me.
But I knew that men were all good at saying sweet things like that to women to get what they really wanted. If I wasn’t in the right state of mind, I would have been easily deceived by his sweet words. 2
The reason why he wanted to marry me was because of our child. After all, things became different after I got pregnant, and my status changed due to my pregnancy. Although I wasn’t happy, I pretended to be flattered by what he said and snugged into his arms. “Do you really like me? Are you sure you’re not lying? You don’t have to make such a sacrifice for me.”
“No. I like you, Flora. I want to marry you because I like you,” Warren sincerely replied. The affection laced in his tone was nowhere near fake at all.
I almost believed it.
I pressed my lips into a thin line. I thought it was a pity that Warren wasn’t an actor. What a waste of talent! It was difficult for a she-wolf to resist once a usually cold, domineering guy like him had become affectionate.
Not to mention, Warren was quite good-looking. I sniffed and tried to hold back the excitement I felt as I put a hand on his cheek. “Having you in my life is enough, babe.”
Warren’s affectionate gaze made me lose all feeling in my body.
The atmosphere was just perfect for the two of us. When he lowered his head and was about to kiss me, I quietly touched the pillow beside me, preparing to use it as a weapon later.
Just then, the door suddenly creaked open.
Owen had a big smile on his face when he got inside the room. I immediately felt embarrassed when I saw him, causing me to freeze in place.
Warren, who was pressing on top of me, furrowed his eyebrows as he turned to look at his father.
“Oops! Sorry to bother you guys,” Owen said as he awkwardly coughed and turned around to leave the room. Warren shifted his gaze to me. He wanted to continue the kiss, but I was still holding the pillow in my hand at that time.
I meekly put down the pillow in front of him as I pressed my lips into a thin line and tried to think of a way to explain why I did that.
Should I confront him head-on? Although I knew I was no match for him in terms of strength, there was probably still a chance for me. I wouldn’t know if I never tried.
I clenched my fists and tightened my hold on the pillow again. Just as I was about to attack Warren, the door once again burst open.
It was Owen again!
With his hands clasped behind his back, he ran over to Warren and kicked him. “What are you doing?! Flora’s still pregnant!”
Warren didn’t say anything. He just stood aside and straightened his clothes. I obediently sat on the bed and didn’t dare make any trouble. Owen had a smile on his face when he talked to me. He was very kind.
I was a bit frightened, but I was also flattered at the same time. I never expected Warren’s father to be so generous and tolerant. I had become a good daughter-in -law in his point of view.
“Right now, we’re just waiting to discuss the wedding date with your parents,” he said with a smile.
My eyes widened when I heard that as I hurriedly turned him down. This was going too fast. Owen gave me a confused look. “What’s wrong? Are you concerned about something?”
I nodded and made up an excuse. “My parents are busy with their work and often go on business trips. They don’t have much time on their hands.”
