Love Together, Be With You Never

Chapter 63 I Was a Foil to Alicia (1)

Adrian took me by surprise. Although it was just for a second, I clearly saw a trace of evilness that

flashed across Adrian's innocent face. I didn't dare to say anything now. I made a deal with Kieran. No

one else knew about it except for Kieran's bodyguard Armand.

Most importantly, Kieran had no intention of letting others know. Faced with Adrian's questioning, I

couldn't deny, nor could I admit. I had thought that Adrian should be easy to fool. That was why I had

asked him to keep this a secret. But I was clearly wrong.

He was friends with Marlon and Kieran. How could he be easy to deal with?

"I'm just joking. You are so nice to me and even cook delicious food for me. Of course, I will keep it a

secret for you!" Suddenly, Adrian smiled at me like a child pulling a prank.

"Rachael, I've already had an idea for the dress you're going to wear at your engagement ceremony. I

promise it's going to be stunning. I will deliver it to you myself that day!" Adrian took the initiative to

change the topic.

"Thank you!" Since Adrian changed the topic and promised me that he wouldn't say anything, I wouldn't

be stupid enough to bring it up again. The more I said, the more mistakes I would probably make.

Besides, even if Adrian decided and go back on his words and tell Kieran or anyone else about this, I

could do nothing to change his mind in such a humble position. It was for the best to just let things be.

Although I wanted to believe that, I was still feeling unsettled.

"Rachael, you're not feeling well now. Take good care of yourself. I had already talked with the doctors.

You have nothing to worry about."

"Thank you!" I didn't know what else I could say. Besides, I didn't want to say anything right now.

Adrian did not stay any longer. He said that he would come to see me tomorrow and then left. I was so

tired that I collapsed on the bed. I closed my eyes and touched my flat belly. Here conceived Tom and

my baby, but all I was thinking about was Marlon's tenderness to Alicia back in that office.

Marlon was so happy when he knew Alicia was pregnant with his child. How would he react when he

knew I had his child?

How would he react?

I gave a wan smile. From the very first day I knew Marlon, Marlon had done a perfect job in using

protection. Marlon then hated me and for Alicia, he warned me over and over that I couldn't get close to

him in any way. Otherwise, there would be serious consequences.

That was right. If Marlon knew that I was pregnant with his child, he would only make me have an

abortion.

But I just couldn't. Four years. For four years of my life, I shed tears and blood for Marlon. But now, I

had this baby. I could now leave Marlon alone, because no matter how cruel Marlon was to me, I finally

had something I could hold onto.

How pathetic. I still loved him.

"Baby, I won't let him know your existence. Mommy is going to protect you. Trust me." I stated as I

stroked my belly.

I earned this baby with four years of torture. No matter what, I wouldn't give this baby up.

However, how could I keep this from Marlon and Kieran?

I closed my eyes. It wouldn't be hard to keep this from Marlon for he cared nothing about me. Maybe

one day I was gone and he wouldn't even know.

But, Kieran was different.

I had a deal with Kieran. But Marlon, his opponent, was the father of the child. I was not sure how

Kieran would do if he found out.

He could be okay with it, but he also could be furious. And Davidson was still in his hands.

Just as I was worried, a phone rang. I took me a while before I realized that it was the new phone ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Kieran had just bought me this morning.

Kieran's number was on the screen. I didn't dare to delay and picked it up. I was still thinking about how

to explain why I didn't go to the hospital all afternoon, but he didn't bring this up at all. He just asked me

to go to the Cornell's for dinner tonight. Just as Kieran hung up the phone, Marvin called, saying that it

was Grandma's 80th birthday tonight and asked me be there. If it wasn't for Kieran's order, there was

no way I would go.

I narrowed my eyes as I listened to the beep on the phone.

Grandma?

I never had a grandmother!

Back then, my mother married the poor Marvin against all odds. However, Marvin's mother, Marisa,

showed no gratitude, but was really mean to her instead.

When my mother was pregnant with me, Marvin cheated on her. Not only did Marisa not stop her son,

she also blamed my mother for not being a good wife and not taking good care of her son. Even though

my mother was pregnant, Marisa ordered my mother to do housework and waited on her. A slightest

displeasure of her would get my mother a good beating.

Not only that, when Shania moved in, Marisa and her worked together to torture my mother. Marisa

also found Davidson and me repulsive, not bothering cast one smile at us.

I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists. If I could, I really wanted to tear them apart now, avenging my

mother who had suffered humiliation for decades, avenging my grandfather and avenging Davidson

and myself. But now, pathetically, I couldn't do anything. I still had to follow the contract with Kieran and

went to the Cornell's for dinner.

Right at this moment, I really hated myself. I hated the fact that I couldn't take revenge and couldn't

stop Davidson from being abused, leaving a terrible shadow to his childhood. Now, I couldn't even

protect the child in my belly.

‘Rachael, your life is just a pathetic and ridiculous joke.'

I laughed at myself. But I knew that my hatred was of no use, because now I could do nothing to get

back at the Cornell family. Now, the most important thing was to follow the deal with Kieran and keep

him steady. Only in this way could I seek the chance to have my revenge and keep Davidson safe.

I put myself together and went to the Cornell's. I didn't know what Kieran wanted me there for, but I

knew that there was a fierce battle ahead. I would also see Marlon.

"Rachael, you can do this!"

When I stepped into the Cornell's and saw the big family having a nice chat on the sofa, I was burning

with rage.

Marisa was sitting in the middle, Shania, Alicia and the others were sitting beside her, talking about

something in a cheerful way, while Marvin and the other men were not around.

"Hi, Rachael!" Shania saw me and smiled as she stood up and walked towards me. The intense hatred

and disgust almost drove me to leave. I was not sure what I would do if I stayed.

"I didn't expect this little bastard. What is she doing here?" Marisa gave a snort of disgust.

"That's right. What are you doing here, you little bastard? You've ruined Grandma's good mood!"

Emmalee stared at me condescendingly, as if I was a dirty beggar.

Marisa had three sons. Marvin was the youngest and was pretty successful. The most useless one was

her second son, William.

William didn't like school since he was little, so he dropped out before he could graduate from middle

school. He didn't receive proper education and also didn't want to strive for his life. Ever since dropping

out of middle school, he has been loafing around and had a penchant for gambling, heavily in debt.

After coming of age, he got married. His wife Kaliyah and William were the same kind of person, loafing

around and playing cards every day. The couple's debts were piling up.

Their daughter Emmalee, however, had a nice look and was quite motivated. She was a model now.

Marisa preferred the William family from the very beginning and lived with them. She would bring

William's family to Marvin and ask for something every once in a while. Marvin respected Marisa, so he

had never refused her.

However, the oldest son of Marisa, also the most successful one, did not rush back to celebrate

Marisa's 80th birthday this year because his family had moved to Country Y a few years

ago.
