    Chapter 144 I’ll Keep It a Secret


    Looking at Cicely, whose thick makeup couldn’t hide her true feelings, udia finally felt a pang of


    sympathy.


    She opened her lips and said softly, “Cicely, you asked the driver to find a ce to park.”


    She didn’t want anyone else to hear about this, not even the Lamont family’s driver, in case it reached


    Edmond’s ears…


    Seeing udia finally decided to tell the truth to herself, Cicely was delighted, unable to hide the smile


    on her face.


    Actually, she already had a premonition that the child in udia’s belly was most likely Edmond’s.


    She gave birth to two children and lived for most of her life. She has some experience in this area.


    udia’s belly and condition clearly indicate that she is not yet three months pregnant. Going back


    further, it is very likely that it was that one time.


    Actually, the timing of that asion had already been set by her long ago, coinciding with udia’s


    ovtion period, which greatly increased the chances of winning


    The more she thought about it, the more excited Cicely became, so she quickly asked the driver to stop


    the car.


    “Harvey, just stop here.”


    Not sure if it was because she was too happy, Cicely’s blood rushed up, and as soon as her feet


    touched the ground, her eyes suddenly went ck. She desperately held onto the car door to steady


    herself.


    “Mom, are you okay?” udia quickly supported her.


    Cicely bit her tongue, forcing herself to calm down, and looked at udia with a smile, saying, “I still


    prefer you calling me mom.”


    udia’s eyshes drooped as she saw Cicely slowly recovering. Thinking about her condition, she


    still couldn’t rest assured and said, “I’ll take you to the hospital first…..”


    Cicely patted her hand and said, “Don’t worry, first tell me who the father of the baby in your belly is?”


    udia couldn’t help butugh and cry when she saw that Mingming insisted on knowing the answer


    despite feeling unwell.


    “Okay, I’ll tell you, and then you have to go to the hospital right away,” she paused and said, “The father


    of the baby in my stomach is Edmond.”


    Even though she had already guessed the answer, Cicely still burst intoughter when she heard


    udia admit it.


    She held udia’s hand with a smile and said, “Good child, knowing this news, Mom can die without


    regrets.”


    “Don’t say such things, technology is advanced now, and your illness is not untreatable.”


    “Don’t try to deceive me, I know my own body,” Cicely said, lowering her eyes. “Actually, I feel that my


    health has noticeably declinedpared to before, but luckily I have Abel. At least my mood is better


    now. Knowing that you are carrying Edmond’s child, my suddenly feels relieved…”


    heart


    Upon hearing these words, udia suddenly had a bad premonition.


    “You didn’t want Edmond to know about the child, because you were


    afraid he would try to take the child away from you, right?”

    udia paused for a moment, thinking about Edmond’s attitude toward her, and then nodded.


    She refused to tell Cicely about this concern as well.


    Cicely patted her hand and said, “I had already let go of all this. The child is also of the Lamont family


    bloodline by following you. I won’t insist on you remarrying Edmond. I will keep this matter a secret for


    you. Take good care of yourself and the child.”


    “Mom apologizes to you for what happened with Rosalie before. It was


    my


    selfishness. Rosalie is beyond redemption, and I was foolish to almost break ties with you because of


    someone like her. From now on, I won’t care whether Rosalie lives or dies, and I won’t ask you to


    forgive her. Even if she were to be executed, she would deserve it.”


    From the moment Rosalie exposed her affair with someone else, she had alreadypletely given up


    on this person. What she gave up was not only Rosalie, but also Abel’s political career and the future of


    entering a prestigious university.


    People whose parentsmitted crimes would not pass the political examination. Fortunately, they


    had a family business, so Abel would not starve to death in the future.


    Upon hearing these words, udia was moved to the point where her


    nose felt a bit sour.


    She didn’t expect Cicely to be so open-minded and actually agreed to keep it a secret for her.


    “Thank you, Mom,” udia said, supporting her. “Let me take you to the hospital.”


    Cicely quickly waved her hand and said, “I will take a taxi myself.

    Could you please help me take Abel to the kindergarten…”


    “I took a taxi with Abel,” udia frowned, “I will safely take him to the kindergarten and have Harvey


    take you to the hospital.”


    Seeing Cicely’s face turn pale and clutching her chest in difort, udia immediately took over the


    task of taking Abel to kindergarten.


    Cicely no longer declined either, as she was also afraid of fainting halfway and scaring Abel.


    She woke Abel up when she got in the car, exined a few things to him briefly, and Abel obediently


    got out of the car with udia.


    In the taxi, udia noticed that Abel kept his head down the whole way and clearly avoided making


    eye contact with her.


    udia saw that he didn’t want to talk and knew that children have


    thin skin, so she didn’t make fun of him either.


    Fortunately, the kindergarten was nearby.


    Abel is now attending this prestigious kindergarten.


    Abel got out of the car at the entrance and stood still, refusing to move.


    udia raised an eyebrow and said, “Aren’t you going in yet?”


    Abel clenched the straps of his backpack with both hands, his face filled with nervousness as he looked


    at the other children standing at the school gate.


    Just when udia was confused, a noticeably stronger child than the others walked toward Abel.


    “Abel, didn’t you sayst time that your mom and dad woulde to pick you up? Where are your


    mom and dad?” Rogelio Ramsey crossed


    his arms and red at Abel menacingly.


    Just then, the child next to Rogelio tugged at him and pointed at udia, whispering, “She must be


    Abel’s mother.”


    Abel quickly nced at udia, and his little face immediately dropped.


    udia nced at the corner of her lips, a hint of yfulness ying on her mouth. This scene


    seemed familiar.


    This time she didn’t want to be a scapegoat.


    What mom? She was not the mother of this naughty child.


    Instead of waiting for this brat to take advantage of oneself, it is better


    take advantage of him first.


    to


    “I am not his mother,” udia grinned as she saw the children’s surprised expressions. “I am his sister,


    so you should also call me sister…”


    This time, she took the initiative to distance herself from Abel and cut off their rtionship.


    She nced at Abel, who was looking down and lost in thought, and said loudly, “I’m leaving first.”


    Abel pursed his lips and looked at her with a pleading expression in his eyes, whispering softly, “I don’t


    want to stay here…..”


    udia pretended not to hear and quickly turned around, taking a few steps away.


    Not long after they left, they heard the strong boy scolding Abel, “Did your mother run away with


    another man again since she didn’te to see you off?”

    “I didn’t expect your mother to be this kind of person, how embarrassing!”


    “My mother said your mother is a social butterfly, and that the children she gives birth to are also bad


    kids. She told me not to y with you.”


    “My grandmother also said not to y with Abel!”


    “Your mother was a social butterfly, so you are a ba stard.”


    “I didn’t want to y with that ba stard!”


    ***


    Upon hearing these words, udia stopped in her tracks.


    She turned around and saw Abel standing there, with his little head hanging down, allowing these


    people to mock him.


    udia frowned.


    Nowadays, with the development of the inte, children have many ways to ess information from


    the outside world. However, she did not expect that the world of children could be soplicated.


    The strong child’s voice was very loud, and more and more children surrounded Abel.


    There were adults around these children, but not a single one of them spoke up to stop their own


    children.


    They couldn’t scold Rosalie, but their own children scolded Abel, which also relieved their anger.


    Who made him Rosalie’s child?


    The sinsmitted by the mother can only be borne by the child.

    Abel pinched his fingers, watching as more and more people gathered around him. His face turned


    bright red, but he managed to hold back his tears and didn’t cry.


    “Why didn’t you resist?”


    Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded, like the gurgling of a spring, flowing into Abel’s heart.


    Abel suddenly turned around and looked at the beautiful woman standing behind him.


    Against the light, her face flickered, making it difficult to see clearly.


    Abel’s mouth opened, and tears streamed down his face.


    He didn’t cry when he was bullied, and he didn’t cry when those people called him a ba stard.


    But at that moment, he cried without any achievements.
