Chapter 116
Tears streamed down my face like a sudden downpour as my fingers trembled, taking the
velvet box.
Upon opening it, I found two locket pendants, both crafted from the most exquisite gems, one
adorned with a delicate flower pattern and the other in.
Such precious gem was hard toe by, a testament to how much Timothy had cared.
I carefully closed the lid, sniffled, and asked, “When did Timothy find out about my pregnancy?”
He had known it all along yet chose to spare my feelings by never questioning me. Timothy was
gone, yet I still felt his loving embrace.
Gary said, “Mr. Timothy had someone check your medical records after thest family dinner.
Please don’t be mad at him. He was worried about your health and feared you might hide it from
him.”
“How could I be mad at him?” My sobs grew louder, “I only me myself.”
Had I told Timothy sooner, he could have enjoyed his happiness for a little longer. He wouldn’t have
had to tread so carefully, afraid even to ask me.
“Bringing a new member into the Ferguson family is a blessing. Mr. Timothy would be overjoyed,
even from the heaven.”
Garyforted me and remembered something Timothy had said, “Right, Mr. Timothy mentioned
before, if one day you can’t stay with Mr. Bryant, the child will be yours, and the Ferguson family will
provide financially.”
I was shocked into silence. So, it was that I had been too defensive. Timothy had never intended to
take the child away.
“It’s just…” Gary hesitated, “At the end of the day, Timothy still hoped you and Mr. Bryant could live
happily together.”
“Fine, I understand.” I took a deep breath, letting the tears freely flow. “Please keep the child a
secret for now.”
Gary nodded solemnly, “Rest assured.”
Leaving Timothy’s room, I felt a sense of confusion engulf me. Suddenly, I understood Bryant’s
sense of guilt toward Timothy.
Returning to the bedroom, just out of the shower with damp hair, Bryant looked at me with a slight
frown. “Why are you crying again?”
“Bryant,” I closed my eyes, fighting to hold my tears. “Does the promise you made the day before
yesterday still stand?”
He seemed more sober after the shower, his gaze intense, “It stands.”
“You won’t vanish because of her call again?” asked.

His voice was deep and steady, “I won’t.”
“If you can keep this up until the end of our cooling-off period, we’ll continue our marriage.”
I raised my head to look at him, “If not, we’ll get the divorce papers as soon as the cooling-off period
ends.”
He suddenly pulled me into his embrace, his cheek gently rubbing against my hair, treating. me like
a treasured possession, which momentarily dazed me. “We can start over.”
I didn’t respond. With Bryant, I dared not easily utter the word trust again.
I tried to stay rational, not to fall too easily, and softly said, “Before that, we… shouldn’t sleep in the
same room. Will you move, or shall 1? I need to let Emma know in advance.”
He stiffened, caressing my hair. “We won’t go back to LunarLakeBay Vis. We’ll stay at the
Ferguson Mansion. Are you sure you want Timothy to see us living apart under the same roof?”
