Molly Walker glanced at the pastry she had just eaten. It appeared to be sweet, but in reality it was filled with pickled meat. The crispy exterior was stuffed with pickled vegetables. What kind of devilish cuisine was this?

She tossed the snack from her hand. The men at the table all looked at her with various degrees of scrutiny.

Especially after the scene of her vomiting just now, their faces were somewhat unpleasant.

The previous action, which led to misinterpretations, made it hard for anyone not to think too much.

Molly kept a straight face, but her heart was pounding.

It had been almost a month since she last slept with Michael Gallagher. Her menstruation was irregular, and she didn’t pay much attention to it.

Could it be that her luck was this bad?

Daniel Thompson also looked bewildered, and calm down his interests in Molly along with everyone else’s.

It wasn’t appropriate to ask in front of everyone, so he changed the way he introduced her.

“Molly, the people seated here are business elites and our future partners of the Thompson family. You should get to know them better.”

When the words “partners” were uttered, the expressions on these people’s faces relaxed slightly.

The Thompsons didn’t often cooperate with other businesses. Once they did, the project was definitely profitable. Nobody would refuse such a good deal.

“Miss Walker, what do you usually enjoy in your free time?” asked the man sitting across from Molly.

Seeing his dignified appearance and his bright smile, Molly thought he resembled some businessmen.

His intense gaze made her feel uncomfortable.

Not wanting to face these people anymore, Molly stood up and said to Daniel, “I’m not feeling well, I’d like to rest for a bit.”

Feeling unwell…

Remembering her vomiting just now, a thought at the back of Daniel’s mind began to surface.

Could she be pregnant?

Michael Gallagher was about to be engaged to another woman. If she was pregnant now, her life would be ruined.

Daniel’s face was grave.

This unexpected interruption had spoiled his mood for matchmaking Molly with the other men. He stood up and told the others, “Today is not a good day. Let’s have a proper meal some other day.”

“Sure, Uncle Thompson.”

“Mr. Thompson, I’ll be leaving first.”

People began to excuse themselves. Seeing that the problem was solved, Molly quickly left.

Seeing her leave so quickly, Damian Thompson gave her a thumbs up in approval. “l thought it would take at least half an hour. I didn’t expect you to solve it this fast.’

Recalling her “vomiting” act just now, he joked, “You’re really clever. Even I was fooled by that act.”

The people here wouldn’t mind if she was divorced, but they certainly would mind becoming a “sudden father”.

Her act of “vomiting” had made everyone lose interest, whether consciously or unconsciously, including his own father.

Molly gave an awkward laugh.

In fact, her act just now was not pretense.

What she feared most now was that she might actually be pregnant.

When everyone had almost left, Daniel called Molly and Damian over.

The room looked more like a conference room. There was a large table in the middle, surrounded by many chairs.

As soon as Molly sat down, Daniel asked, “Were you doing that on purpose or by accident just now?”

She furrowed her brow, and her heart skipped a beat.

Seeing the change in her expression, Daniel held back what he was about to say.

“Abort it if you’re pregnant.”

He had no other demands for his daughter. His only dissatisfaction was that she had been married to Michael Gallagher for three years, and had suffered a lot. Now that she was finally going to divorce him, her path to a better life was clear.

As long as Molly didn’t have a child, it wouldn’t be hard for her to remarry with the Thompson family’s wealth and power.

But if she had a child, everything would be different. No wealthy family would marry a woman who was divorced and had a child.

Before confirming, he had already decided the fate of the little life in her belly.

Molly gave a light smile.

“Don’t you know how serious this is?” Daniel’s serious face masked a dignified sternness. “If you don’t divorce, the baby can stay. The Thompsons will support you, Michael Gallagher won’t dare to bully you.”

“It depends on which kind of life you want.”

His words were clear. She could either stay single and find someone else, or continue her marriage with Michael Gallagher.

However, she didn’t want anyone to interfere, whichever choice it was.

“Do I have to make a choice?”

“Yes.” Daniel squinted his eyes. “As a Thompson, you should be clear-headed, knowing what you want.”

Molly scoffed.

It wasn’t about knowing what she wanted, but knowing what he wanted, wasn’t it?

Wasn’t he just afraid that she would embarrass him, and hiding it behind all these lofty words?

“As Gabriel said, you have this temperament. You couldn’t get along with Michael Gallagher in three years and you won’t in the future either. It’s fine if you get a divorce, I will arrange some blind dates for you. There are many good young men in Sunnydale City. Don’t hang yourself on one tree…”

Molly caught on a key point: “Are these Gillian’s ideas?”

“Yes, even if you’ve upset her enough to be hospitalized, she’s still thinking of you, her sister. Most of these young men are her friends and classmates, trusted people.” Daniel tried to sound heartfelt. “You two are relatives. I hope you can support and tolerate each other in the future, instead of being at odds all the time.’

“At odds?” She widened her beautiful eyes and shook her head in a sigh, “Can’t you see she was the first to target me?”

“It’s understandable if she targets you. All these years, we thought you wouldn’t come back. It’s only normal she can’t accept it when you suddenly do.”

“It is quite normal. Not only she can’t accept it, I can’t a bit either.” She didn’t expect to be meddled with her emotions and marriage even before she had entered her home. “If finding my family equals to asking for trouble, can I choose not to recognize this kinship?”

Upon her words, Daniel’s face quickly turned cold.

Everyone was racking their brains to have a connection with the Thompsons. What was she talking about?

“Have the Thompsons wronged you in any way? Why do you hate us so much?

I’m your father. Giving you advice is because I care about you.”

Molly hung her head low, the corners of her lips curling up in a mocking smile.

As soon as she arrived, he introduced her to so many men. When he suspected her pregnancy, his instinct was to suggest her to have an abortion. Was this genuine concern for her? Was this for her own good?

He was simply afraid that she would ruin his reputation.

“If you truly care for me, you wouldn’t intervene in my personal life. And, it wasn’t I who got Gillian hospitalized. It was her pettiness. How does that have anything to do with me? I hope you open your eyes and don’t blame the wrong person.” She stood up and walked towards the door. “I’m going to see mother.”

“Stop!” Daniel bellowed. “Shouldn’t you change how you address me? Don’t forget who you are.”

“I’m sorry, I can’t change it in such a short time.” Without expressing any emotion, Molly turned around. The moment she left, Daniel held his chest and fell back into the chair.

“Dad.” Damian ran over immediately..
