Chapter 107 Who’s the Father?
After all, this was their generation’s matter, and he ultimately shouldn’t interfere.
“I don’t really care,” udia said as she finished her ravioli and picked up an orange to peel. “If you
guys feel embarrassed, you can also tell everyone that I’m pregnant with someone else’s child, so you
can save face.”
“What are you talking about?” Thoma s’s face turned even uglier, suddenly realizing something, he
reacted, “Are you pregnant?!”
Last time when she went on a blind date, she had a reaction. Heter
forgot about it, could it be…
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, udia nodded.
The first one to realize was Emily.
“Pregnant, huh? Then I’m going to be a grandmother!” Emily eximed joyfully as she stood up. Her
excitement was contagious, and Thomas also became delighted.
Emily was right, there was going to be a new addition to the family, which was ultimately a joyous
asion.
Watching their father’s face change so quickly, all the sons pretended not to notice.
Only Waldron, grasped the key point.
He looked at udia suspiciously and asked, “Who is the child’s father?”

udia’s hands paused as she peeled the orange. If she had known that the child was Edmond’s,
there would have been a huge uproar. She had already prepared herself to cut ties with the Lamont
family, it would be better to have less trouble before the child was born.
She opened her lips and spoke in a cold tone, “It wasn’t his.”
Ervin nced at her and said nothing.
Waldron’s eyes widened after hearing it: “It’s not his? Then whose is it?”
Upon hearing that it was not Edmond, his anger toward Edmond immediately subsided.
Whose is it?
udia was also stumped by these words.
How should I continue this conversation?
She believed that if she were to say the name of any man at that moment, she would be forced to
marry that person the next day.
Because of this, she was momentarily at a loss for words and didn’t know what to say.
Just as she was feeling troubled, a person walked down from upstairs and whispered, “It’s mine.”
Everyone, including udia, looked toward the stairs as Horace, dressed in a long coat, gracefully
walked down.
Everyone suddenly remembered that there was a stranger in the house.

After he stayed here on the day of the family recognition, he continued to live here.
As soon as they heard him say that the child was his, angry res fell upon him.
Feeling that something was off, Horace quickly said, “What I meant was, I could be the child’s father.”
“Miss Seraphina must have her reasons for not wanting to speak about it, but a child cannot be without
a father. Coincidentally, I also like children, so… I don’t mind having more than one child.”
The crowd: “…”
I have seen people who are happy to be fathers, but I have never seen someone so eager to
be a father as this.
udia awkwardly smiled and froze: “Mr. Ferguson, please don’t joke. It wouldn’t be good for your
reputation if this matter gets out.”
“I didn’t care about reputation,” Horace’s expression wasplicated. udia’s pregnancy was indeed
unexpected for him, but he had never cared about such things as reputation.
As long as she was willing, he had the courage.
After he finished speaking, the whole room fell silent, so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping on
the ground could be heard.
At this moment, Thomas also sized up Horace. Compared to Edmond, this kid had a stronger sense of
responsibility.
Especially the matter of bing a father, whether he was sincere or had ulterior motives, at least it
shows that he can adapt and is a capable person!
Thinking about this, Thomas liked it more and more as he looked at it.
udia noticed the way he appreciated it and felt uneasy.
Horace ran out and said he was willing to be a father. Even if Horace really agreed, she wouldn’t
agree, which would be unfair to them.
“Mr. Ferguson, thank you for being willing to sacrifice yourself to do so much for us, but this is really not
appropriate… Also, I don’t want to form a family with someone else for the time being,” udia politely
smiled, her long eyshes fluttering like butterfly wings, gently lifting and then dropping, brushing
across Horace’s heart like feathers.
This statement was a tant refusal, and most people would have given up at this point. But he was
not an ordinary person.
He came for her in the first ce.
“Don’t rush to reject me on this matter,” Horace looked at her affectionately, his eyes clear like ake,
deep and tender. “A child cannot be without a father, whether it’s apanying you for prenatal check-
ups or when the child goes to school, the role of a father is crucial and irreceable.”
Horace’s voice was gentle, yet it struck the suspended thread in udia’s heart like a sledgehammer.
Even if she deceived herself, the fact that the child cannot be without a father remains true.
But this does not mean that she can just find a father for her child casually, which is not responsible for
anyone.
Just got hurt in the previous rtionship and don’t want to get into another one so soon.
“Can I ask you a question?” Ervin raised his sses, squinting with a smile, his voice gentle. “What is
your reason for wanting to be my
nephew’s father? Is it to form an alliance with the Friedan family, or do you genuinely like my sister?”
Everyone looked at Horace, except udia, who blushed with embarrassment.
She didn’t expect that Ervin, who is usually gentle, would ask such sharp questions.
How can one respond to this? Neither answer is a good answer.
Ervinughed like a fox.
Everyone knew that Horace’s visit to Wellfort this time was to choose a noble family for marriage. It
was certain that he had a purpose in staying at his own house.
These days, Horace almost declined all the invitations to go out, except for going out with udia. He
spent most of his time working in his
room.
He had already had the answer in his heart, he just wanted to confirm it personally.
Horace’s lips curled up as he nced at udia, his handsome face exuding warmth. Under the gaze
of everyone, he candidly admitted, “Yes, I liked Miss Seraphina.”
“Why?” Waldron sneered, lifting his chin and seoffing, “Don’t tell me it’s some kind of love at first sight.”
Although this Horace looked pleasing to the eye, marriage is not a child’s y. In his opinion, this
Horace was still a littlecking to be a suitable match for his sister.
No matter how good-looking, it cannot be eaten as a meal.
These days, there have been more socialitesing to my house than in the past year. Upon careful
consideration, it is not difficult to guess who these women areing for.
“I must confess, when I was fifteen years old, I had already met Miss Seraphina. I was being bullied at
the time, and she came to my rescue. Ever since then, I have always remembered her. However, I had
been unable to find her all these years, until I saw her in the news,” Horace recounted, and as he
mentioned his savior, a picture shed in udia’s mind.
Probably when she was in junior high school, she witnessed someone stealing money from a boy. It
was said to be a transfer student from the neighboring school. No one dared to cause trouble in the
school, but incidents like this would often happen outside the school.
udia squinted and nced at Horace, and his face gradually merged with the face in her memory.
She just helped out a little, but she didn’t expect him to remember it for so long.
“I liked Miss Seraphina,” Horace said calmly, his handsome eyebrows and eyes sparkling. “If given the
chance, I would like to take care of her for the rest of her life.”
Thomas and Emily were moved, not only them, even Waldron had nothing to say.
This guy is more sincere than Edmond!N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
