Chapter 3 Did I Cut You to the Quick?

• In the night, the taillights of a Rolls-Royce gradually disappeared from the door of the villa. Alfred was disturbed. If Lauren was pregnant, it would be even harder for him to be with Carrie.
• As they said before, Carrie came to their favorite coffee shop ahead of time. As the door revolved, a dignified man came in. Carrie immediately got up and greeted him while calling his name.
• After Alfred was seated, Carrie directly cut to the chase.
• "Alfred, do you suspect that Lauren's pregnancy test is fake? But if she is really pregnant with your child, are you going to abandon me?" Carrie nestled pitifully against Alfred's arms.
• "Regardless of whether the child is real or not, I will divorce her." As he spoke, Alfred held her delicate hand on his chest lovingly.
• "I'm relieved to hear you say that. If I can't be with you, I might as well die." Carrie poured a glass of wine for Alfred and raised her hand to let him drink it.
• After Alfred sent Carrie home safely, he was still recalling how she waved goodbye to him on the way home.
• When a man had trouble, he would either look for a cigarette or look for a woman. Watching Alfred's luxury car disappear from sight, Carrie smiled triumphantly. Obviously, the man's heart was always with her.
• Back at the villa, it was already 2 o'clock in the morning. Alfred lazily undressed and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
• Lauren who was sleeping felt extremely restless. The cold sweat grew more and more.
• Abortion? Lauren's heart skipped a beat. With Alfred giving an order, the medical staff pushed her onto the operating table indifferently.
• "No! Don't hurt my baby, please." Lauren pushed those hands pressing her in vain.
• When she saw that the cold equipment was about to hit her body, a pungent smell of alcohol stopped Lauren's nightmare in time.
• Fortunately, it was just a dream. Lauren prayed silently.
• The bathroom door opened quickly and Alfred walked out wrapped in a white towel.
• In the faint light, Alfred's eyes were exactly the same as in her dream. Lauren became nervous again. She shrank and moved back until she reached the wall of the bed. Alfred made her felt disturbed.
• He glanced at the delicate figure curled up on the bed with no emotion in his eyes. But the suspicious object on the table attracted his attention. After reading it, he froze.
• Damn! She was actually pregnant.
• The instructions for the fetus-safeguarding medicine were torn to pieces. He didn't believe that the sex they had when he was drunk that time actually made her pregnant.
• "Whose child is it?"
• Like a basin of ice water pouring from her head, Alfred's words almost let Lauren lose her sanity.
• "Alfred, what do you mean?" Lauren trembled slightly while being emotional.
• Alfred snorted when he heard it, stepped directly onto the bed, rode on her body, and grabbed her chin with his fingers. The coldness of his hand made Lauren shiver.
• The beautiful silhouette was even more charming against the light. Lauren couldn't believe that he was the devil in her dream.
• "Lauren, this test report must cost you a fortune, right? It looks so real." The enchanting voice seemed to come from a mountain stream, but those words seemed to come from hell.
• Lauren sneered. He suspected that the child was fake.
• "Alfred, you can check it out. I won't be so cheap to use a fake pregnancy to please you." Lauren raised her chin firmly.
• Alfred's eyes were filled with contempt. "What won't you do for being the hostess of the Kent family?"
• His slander caused Lauren to breathe heavily. She tried to push Alfred, but she was pressed tighter.
• Her soft and thin clothes became messy due to the pulling. Alfred looked at it contemptuously, "What's the point of wearing clothes like this?"
• While talking, Alfred grabbed her pajamas' strap wrapped around her and pulled it gently. Then her pajamas were torn open.
• "Do not touch me!"
• The doctor's instructions made her anxious at this moment. She didn't want to lose her baby because of the beast desire of the man in front of her.
• What did she pretend to be innocent now? Alfred pulled the quilt away in disgust.
• Lauren wanted to stop him, but Alfred rudely kissed her, which made her have no way to utter a word.
• There was a sharp pain and then Alfred felt something salty. He furrowed his brows. He stared at the blood on his fingertips, feeling rather irritable. The woman almost made him dumb.
• "Lauren, do you know what I hate you most?" Alfred's low growl made Lauren tremble slightly.
• "You always play hard to get."
• After saying that, Alfred started to have passionate sex with her. But he thought that it was all because of this woman's bad intentions.
• Lauren felt that the last trace of her dignity was also being trampled under his feet. She had always been so miserable in his eyes.
• "Do you think I don't know your relationship with Noah Kent?" Alfred said while buckling the buttons.
• "Alfred, if you don't want to admit the child, just forget it. I didn't force you to raise this child, but before he becomes an adult, I will try to give him a complete home."
• Lauren curled up her body, feeling rather devastated.
