Chapter 459
The <b>maid </b>entered the room and reported, “Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Ramoz is here with Ms. Ramoz.”
Upon hearing Henry’s arrival, Conner’s tension eased. But upon learning ra hade as well, a cold smile <b>crept </b>onto his lips.
She had gone behind his back to plead with Hailey, signaling her defiance. It was time to teach her a lesson.
Conner rose from his seat and instructed, “Ask Mr. Tamoz and Nathalie to wait for me in the foyer.”
“Yes, Mr. Jefferson,” the maid responded before departing
Conner adjusted his sleeves, preparing to meet his fiancée properly and have a serious conversation with her.
Meanwhile, ra sat at the table, her gaze asionally drifting toward Conner’s bedroom. After moments of nervous hesitation, she turned to Henry and asked<b>, </b>“Dad, couldn’t we have just eaten at home? Why did we <b>have </b>toe here?”
“<b>My </b>dear, I know there have been misunderstandings between you and Conner. He’s <b>a </b>good man, and he has been searching for you for years.
“He’s way betterpared to Sergio! Trust me, reconcile with Conner,” advised Henry.
<b>ra </b>suddenly felt uneasy after listening to him. “Dad, Conner and I haven’t fought. Why are you suddenly thinking this way?”
“Silly <b>child</b><b>, </b>are you still trying to hide things from me? We know about your visit to Brooks Estate to see Sergio. But Conner loves you. He won’t hold it against you.”
“W–what “ra’s expression froze, wondering how Conner and Henry could know about her visit to Brooks Estate
“Nathalie.” A low, amused voice interrupted from nearby
ra froze in ce at the voice, unable to move. When she turned her head, she saw Conner’s half–smiling expression.
Shenervously clenched her fists
Conner approached ra and remarked, “Why are you dressed like this today? It’s cold outside. You should <b>dress </b>warmer.
“T–Thank you” she star mered, struggling to control her trembling She wondered how would Conner react after discovering her visit to Sergio
“<b>Dad</b>, I’m not feeling well. Can I go home?” ra asked, looking to Henry for support.
Unfortunately, Henry misunderstood her intentions and exined, “Natha?e, I’m going on a business trip soon. I’m worried about leaving you alone at home, so I asked Conner to look after <b>you</b>.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
“<b>If </b>you’re not feeling well, go upstairs and rest. Conner and I have matters to discuss.”
His words made ra feel like she was falling into an abyss. If he left, she would lose her only protector
she had betrayed Conner, and she had no clue how he would respond
*Nathalie, go <b>upstairs </b><b>and </b>rest <b>if </b><b>you’re </b>unwell. I’ll arrange for a doctor toe <b>and </b>check on you.” Conner’s eyes gleamed with any intensity.
“L.I’m fine “she uttered
“You’re pregnant. You must take care of yourself.”
At the mention of the child, ra instinctively protected her stomach. She sensed Conner wouldn’t let her off lightly. He might begin by targeting the child in her womb.
*Ms. Barnoz, pleasee with me.” The maid stepped forward to escort ra upstairs.
