Chapter 1649: I Can Give You Children


    Chapter 1649: I Can Give You Children


    Vicki''s gaze fell lightly on him.


    He was trying hard to suppress his anger, and she could sense it.


    After hesitating for a moment, she said, "I can give you children. I won''t use contraception anymore."


    Felix was taken aback, his heart filled with joy, thinking that she finally agreed. Yesterday, her


    willingness to stay the night was a good sign.


    But his happiness didn''tst even a second.


    The next words she uttered felt like a plunge back into hell.


    "But I can''t marry you." Vicki brushed his hand off her shoulder, walked to the side, and sat down on a


    wicker armchair.


    Felix stared at her, his face filled with disbelief.


    "Why? You''re willing to have my children, but you won''t marry me? What''s the reason behind this? Are


    you worried that my family won''t approve? That''s impossible. Nobody can interfere with my choices. I


    can guarantee that I can make you Mrs. Saunders, and no one will dare to say anything."


    Besides, with Vicki''s strong determination and outstanding skills, who would dare to challenge her after


    she took control of the Xiao family? If they wanted to live to see tomorrow, they would have to keep


    their mouths shut.


    He was never worried about those things. What he couldn''t figure out was her.


    Vicki shook her head.


    Felix asked again, "Don''t you think you''re sitting in jail, but I know none of those stories are true. You


    must have your reasons, but you don''t want to say them. I know you''re not that kind of person. That''s


    enough."


    There were various rumors about Vicki in the underworld.


    Some said that when she was ten years old, she had been taken to the police station for injuring more


    than ten boys. Since no one imed her, she was eventually sent to a social welfare institution.


    Some said that when she was fifteen years old, she had already made a name for herself in the


    underworld.


    Some said that when she was eighteen years old, she had been imprisoned for intentional harm. Since


    she was eighteen and legally an adult, the court determined that she had full legal capacity, and


    considering her involvement as an aplice, she received a lenient sentence of probation.


    Some said that she had gained control of all the nightclubs in Khebury by relying on her ability to fight


    and her sense of loyalty towards her brothers.


    There were various legends about her.


    After truly being with her, he could feel that Vicki was actually very kind-hearted and full of justice.


    He knew that the things that happened back then were either because she wanted to protect herself


    from being bullied or to protect others. In any case, she appeared cold on the outside but warm on the


    inside, and he knew that better than anyone.


    Vicki looked up and locked eyes with Felix.


    "Do you think I care about those things?"


    "Then why? Why can''t we get married?" Felix couldn''t understand. "Are my children not going to have a

    name or status in the future? What are you thinking?"


    The pain in his gaze was evident.


    "Vicki, you''re too heartless. Am I not good enough for you?"


    Vicki fell silent for a moment.


    Suddenly, she stood up and walked in front of Felix.


    "I''ve made it clear. I will give you children, but I can''t marry you. I didn''t use contraceptionst night,


    and I haven''t taken the morning-after pill. From now on, I won''t use contraception anymore. I don''t want


    to say it a third time, so do you want children or not?"


    Felix clenched his teeth. "Yes."


    Vicki nodded. "Understood. You can go now. We should try to see each other as little as possible in the


    future. I have some things to take care of. When I feel it''s safe, I will naturally contact you."


    "What?!" Felix could hardly believe what he was hearing. She actually said that they should see each


    other less in the future? How could he bear it? He felt like he couldn''t live a day without her now.


    He was about to question her further.


    Suddenly, Vicki''s phone, which had been ced aside, rang.


    In the quiet air, the ringing sounded particrly tense and piercing.


    She squinted her eyes.


    If a person''s life and death couldn''t be decided by themselves, what did marriage matter? She didn''t


    want to drag Felix down. It hadn''t been peacefultely. After burying hidden dangers for so many years,


    there would eventually be an outbreak.


    That person should be back now.


    Cloud.


    She had already sensed the approach of the storm. This time, it would surely stir up colossal waves.


    "Sorry, I need to take this call. Please step aside."


    Her voice was as cold and indifferent as ever.


    Felix struggled to contain his anger, then turnedaround and left. The wind started blowing, causing the


    curtains on the balcony to flutter and dance. Then, a loud "bang" could be heard as he forcefully


    mmed the door and left the top-floor suite of DeNox.


    Vicki answered the phone.


    On the other end of the line, a sinister voice spoke, and it was Christian.


    Vicki got straight to the point, "Christian, Athena has gone missing for a long time. Did you just find


    out?"


    Christian''s voice was particrly gloomy.


    "What exactly is going on?"


    Vicki said, "Do you remember? When Athena first woke up, I told you that I felt something strange


    about her. Her eyes were deep and profound, without a trace of confusion. I always felt that she knew


    everything. She was too calm. It was my sixth sense telling me that things weren''t as simple as they


    seemed. And it turns out I was right. She woke up a long time ago and has been secretly nning."


    "And when she said she couldn''t remember why she fainted, I thought it was impossible. She must


    know."


    Christian sighed, "It''s been ten years. She was unconscious for ten years and finally woke up. Why did


    she do this? What does she want to aplish? Could it be that..."


    He paused, "Could it be that she hasn''t given up, that she hasn''t moved on from what happened ten


    years ago?"


    Vicki rubbed her forehead, "Christian, the situation isn''t optimistic. ording to my sources, Cloud has


    been acting frequently. My people have reported that he was in the Capital recently. And yesterday,


    someone saw him in Khebury. Although this information hasn''t been confirmed yet, it''s not good news."


    "What does he want to do? What is he trying to achieve by resurfacing after all these years of OGW


    lying low?" Christian''s voice grew darker.


    Vicki smiled, "Christian, you really don''t understand Athena. Do you really think that OGW is being


    controlled by Cloud?"


    She looked up and gazed at the cloudy sky, a storm was brewing.


    "Have you never suspected? Actually, Athena has always been the one behind OGW."


    Her words were like a giant stone thrown into a calmke, creating ripples.


    Christian remained silent on the other end of the phone.


    "Think about it carefully. Goodbye."


    After she hung up, Vicki yed with the lighter and lit another cigarette. She had actually quit smoking


    for a while, but today she felt frustrated.


    She had just taken a puff when she thought about her promise to Felix about having children. She


    immediately extinguished the cigarette.


    Looking up at the sky, covered in dark clouds, she fell into a daze.


    If the future path was filled with thorns and hardships, she would face it alone.
