    Chapter 134 I Only Want You


    "It''s just a precaution!" Ste gently ced her hand on her lower abdomen, offering a tender yet


    resolute smile.


    "In case we do have a child, we need to be prepared. But I wanted to get this insurance for your


    sake..."


    Her fingers intertwined with Noah''s, her heart brimming with thoughts of him.


    "Darling... this is my first pregnancy, and I''m feeling a bit anxious. I''ve been reading a lot of information


    "What are you saying?!" His expression darkened, and he gazed at Ste with stern resolve. "Don''t let


    your mind wander into unverified ims. Nothing will happen to you!"


    "Don''t be upset!" She leaned on his shoulder. "I''m only suggesting that you should remember to make


    use of this money if such a situation were to ever arise."


    "There won''t be any such situation! None at all!" Noah could not help but release a low, fierce growl,


    and his dark and menacing countenance even startled her.


    She stared at him in astonishment, her heart racing.


    His reaction had been swift, and he tore the two insurance policies into tatters with a few brisk

    movements.


    The world suddenly fell silent.


    The heavy and stifling presence surrounding Noah instinctively prompted Ste to take a step back.


    "Darling..."


    He snapped back to reality and realized he had inadvertently frightened her.


    Swiftly, he enfolded her in his arms, his voice deep and reassuring. "I didn''t mean to get angry with you.


    I just wanted to emphasize that such idents won''t happen. Even if something unexpected were to


    ur..."


    Noah''s eyes darkened, and he dered with a gravelly undertone, "I don''t want a child. I only want


    you!"


    Ste''s heart swelled with warmth, and her nose tingled with emotion. She tenderly stroked his broad


    back with her petite hand.


    "Silly, what are you saying? Do you really mean it? Are you willing to give up having a child?"


    "I am," he responded without hesitation.


    She could not help but chuckle and yfully pinched Noah''s cheek. Her bright, mischievous eyes


    gleamed like stars.


    He bore a solemn and imposing expression, which might have seemed rather intimidating, but Ste


    understood it stemmed from his anxiety.


    "Alright." She gently said, "From this moment on, we won''t bring up these unsettling matters. We''ll both


    live to be a hundred, and we''ll grow old together like a pair of wily old souls. How does that sound?"


    A faint smile finally graced his face.


    Nevertheless, this incident had served as a poignant wake-up call for him.


    A few dayster, Noah met with Caleb at thew firm. "How did the matter I asked you to handlest


    time progress?"


    Caleb stroked his chin thoughtfully and disyed several temte documents on hisputer.


    "Noah, regarding that insurance you brought up, I think it would be more fitting for you to personally


    draft a deration affirming that all your assets are to be equally shared with Ste or something along


    those lines. It seems like the more appropriate route."


    "Would such a deration hold legal weight?" Whenever it pertained to Ste''s interests, Noah always


    wanted to ensure its legal validity.


    Caleb smiled. "As long as it goes through notarization, it will unquestionably carry legal weight!"


    "Good."


    "But, Noah, are you absolutely certain about this?"


    "Since she''s my wife, it''s only natural that everything I possess should belong to her."


    Although the formal marriage certificate was still pending, he wanted to ensure Ste''s security.


    "If you go through with this, it will swiftly reach Sir Martinez''s ears. After all, you are the most promising


    heir of the Martinez Group, and your wealth is beyond measure."


    Noah exhaled a smoke ring slowly, his gaze deepening.


    "I''m not concerned if he finds out. Ste will eventually be a part of the Martinez family."


    Caleb nodded,prehending his resolve.


    While Ste might not currently be epted by the Martinez family, Noah''s actionspel the family to


    acknowledge her status.


    Irrespective of everything, he would stand by her side and confront the world with her.


    "By the way, Noah." Caleb''s countenance darkened as he lowered his voice. "I stumbled upon


    something rather unexpected while researchingmercial insurance."


    Noah furrowed his brow. "What is it?"


    "Have a look at this."


    Caleb passed him a document.


    Noah perused it briefly and emitted a derisive snort.


    Before Noah headed on a private ne to Od for business negotiations, Christopher had presented


    him with this substantial insurance policy respectfully and solemnly.


    Christopher had imed that the policy was meant to provide security if air travel posed any risks.


    It epassed various insurance facets, spanning different contingencies, and designated Noah''s


    father, Alton, as the beneficiary.


    "Uncle Christopher certainly knows how to put on a performance. It''s as though he''s meticulously


    considering me in every possible way." Noah sneered, tossing the document onto the table.


    "I had almost forgotten about this until you jogged my memory."


    "Noah, take a closer look!" Caleb gave him a meaningful look.


    Perplexed, Noah scrutinized the document meticulously. He eventually stumbled upon something


    peculiar on the final page of the document!


    "Charlie Wright?" He could not help but raise his voice. "What''s the meaning of this?"


    Caleb offered a meaningful smile. "That''s my unexpected find."


    "When Christopher handed you that policy, your father was listed as the beneficiary. But this policy has


    been altered in secret, and the new beneficiary is Charlie Wright."


    Noah''s eyes narrowed slightly, and a glint of cold flickered within them.


    Initially, he had dismissed the insurance policy, regarding it as a mere pretense orchestrated by


    Christopher. After all, Christopher had a history of maintaining facades to gain Noah''s grandfather''s


    favor, but Noah had never anticipated that a ne crash woulde into y.


    "So, you''re saying that if I had indeed died in that ne crash..." He spoke in a deep, measured tone.


    "This insurance payout of over millions of dors would have ended up in Charlie Wright''s hands?"


    "Yes," Caleb responded, affirming that it would be conducted discreetly.


    Noah''s countenance darkened as he muttered Charlie''s name.


    "I looked into the Wright family." Caleb continued, "They hold sway in the Ewica region and are active


    in the fields of information technology and pharmaceuticals."


    Noah nodded in acknowledgment.


    The Wright family had never engaged in any prior dealings or coborations with the Martinez family in


    Emberfall. Thus, Noah could not help but wonder about the underlying motive for Charlie''s association


    with Christopher.


    It was evident that there was more to delve into.


    Noah extinguished his cigarette and was about to rise when his phone abruptly buzzed.


    "Liam, it''s me." Aiden''s voice on the other end conveyed a hint of urgency. "Are you upied at the


    moment?"


    "Not particrly. What''s the matter?"


    "Could youe and be with Ste? She''s... not in the best emotional state."


    Noah''s heart clenched. "What''s wrong with her?"


    As Aiden could not fully exin over the phone, he implored Noah to head to the hospital as swiftly as


    possible.


    ...


    Ste emerged from Aiden''s office, appearing bewildered. Herplexion was ashen, and her gaze


    was vacant as she settled in the corridor.


    Her heart raced within her chest, and her breath was erratic. She shivered, a chill coursing down her


    spine.


    Aiden''s words reverberated in her mind.


    "Ste, the test results havee in. In truth... you were never pregnant. But, from your tests, I


    discovered something else."
