"They say a couple’s single shared night can create deep ties, so let’s part on good terms."
Eleanor Valerius struggled to maintain a fake smile, her nails digging into her palm, the pain keeping her awake and aware.
"I won’t insist on Master Ford marrying , but marrying into a wealthy family has always been my life goal. I’ll also try to find another suitor."
What she faced was not only Sebastian Ford’s confinent but also the crisis of being trapped by emotions.
"Ha, you want to break up and end things with again?"
Sebastian Ford looked at her with dark eyes, coldly questioning, "Eleanor Valerius, think about the consequences of losing your protector now. You won’t have a chance to regret it!"
After he exposed her thoughts, he didn’t bother to explain.
In fact, he was just confidently playing by the rules of a casual ga.
But the problem was, he hadn’t played enough!
Using a proposal to force a breakup, it was clear that Eleanor Valerius had played him!
"Parting at the best mont, a lover will always be the cinnabar mole in my heart."
Eleanor Valerius was still coaxing him, feigning regret as she said, "I don’t want to end it either, but I’m no longer satisfied with this shadowy relationship. The lover doesn’t want to marry , and if I say it’s over, you’ve won over . I just hope you’ll let go, as a final gesture of decency."
"What if I disagree?"
Sebastian Ford squinted, seemingly wanting to entangle further.
His calm deanor was a façade of dignity, while inside, he was going insane.
"If you disagree, then I’ll make a scene."
Eleanor Valerius was genuinely worried that Sebastian Ford would lock her up as punishnt.
She was afraid that the warmth she once relied on for security would turn into a nightmare prison.
Secretly falling for soone was simply unforgivable!
Just like now, even though Sebastian hadn’t actually done anything, she already felt this pain.
In her sight, Sebastian Ford’s handso face had lost its familiar gentleness.
If she couldn’t escape, the sweetness and warmth they once shared would turn into retaliatory harm.
"Master Ford is the pride of the Ford Family, never disappointing his grandfather, but if others find out about your illicit affair with , it would be a scandal involving the Ford Family. I have nothing to lose; you and I are different..."
Eleanor Valerius’s words carried a provocative tone, a last-ditch attempt to break free.
"You dare threaten !"
Sebastian Ford’s eyes narrowed sharply, the sinister killing intent gradually spreading to engulf her.
No one could threaten him! His identity carried his pride.
"I don’t dare, I’m rely striking against a stone with an egg. If the affair were truly exposed, only Master Ford’s reputation would be damaged, while I’d face the end of eternal doom."
Eleanor Valerius took a deep breath, her eyes lightly trembling as she looked at him.
"Can you let go? I’m begging you."
Her light words weighed heavily on Sebastian Ford’s heart.
A long silence.
Until the Ford Family’s luxury car stopped at the Valerius Family villa.
Eleanor Valerius couldn’t wait to get out of the car, and even if the Valerius Family was an abyss of hell, her steps did not hesitate.
Behind her was the emotion she dared not look back at, desperately wanting to escape and avoid.
Sebastian Ford’s gaze never left Eleanor Valerius’s departing figure.
Even though his eyes could no longer see her, the upheaval in his heart continued to spread violently.
The car was deathly silent.
The driver and bodyguard exchanged glances, nearly suffocating from tension.
The argunt between Master Ford and Miss Valerius had been so loud earlier, pretending not to have heard it was impossible.
But how was this situation to be understood?
Had Miss Valerius’s proposal been rejected? Or did Master Ford get rcilessly abandoned by Miss Valerius?
No matter who ultimately won or lost, Master Ford’s current disheartened state was real.
Suddenly, Sebastian Ford smiled thoughtfully.
Eleanor Valerius’s failed attempt to force marriage by threatening a breakup, just like her usual routine, right?
Maybe, in a few days, she’d co back to him, teasing him once more.
"How ridiculous."
Sebastian Ford suddenly muttered to himself.
Why should he care?
Why did he hand over the choice and decision to her?
He certainly had ways to push Eleanor Valerius to the brink, as long as he could harden his heart.
But the problem was, he just couldn’t harden his heart.
Even if he was always the one compromising, he wouldn’t agree to marriage.
He wouldn’t marry, nor would he use the Ford Family as a bargaining chip ever again.
"Eleanor Valerius, if you want to end it, I can end it for real too!"
On the surface, Sebastian Ford smiled casually, but he was actually grinding his molars to dust.
Yet again, being dumped by the little fox!
...
After escaping from Sebastian Ford, Eleanor Valerius’s emotions were complex with lingering trepidation.
She and he... is this really the end?
The lover’s ga has soured, continuing to tangle would only lead to mutual disdain.
It was for the best, as he’d never know she had co to like him.
Eleanor Valerius took a deep breath and stepped into the Valerius Family ho.
The familiar environnt felt like a high-security cage.
She noticed Regina Jennings’s car was gone, deducing that she had offended Mrs. Croft, but having been hijacked by Sebastian Ford, the Croft’s wrath had been redirected.
This was a good thing.
She had to stir things up using the Valerius Family na.
With Regina Jennings absent, the Valerius Family atmosphere wasn’t too oppressive.
Entering, Eleanor Valerius noticed the servants looking unfriendly, knowing they were Regina Jennings’s cronies.
"Go prepare dinner for ."
The servants didn’t respond.
In the next mont, Eleanor Valerius picked up a ceramic teapot and smashed it onto the ground, coldly saying, "Can’t hear ? Or don’t want to? Regina Jennings hasn’t kicked out yet, I’m still the third Miss of the Valerius Family, I’ve driven Aunt Campbell away, do you want to try it too?"
"Third Miss, we wouldn’t dare..."
The servants hadn’t anticipated Eleanor Valerius becoming so fearso and felt increasingly apprehensive.
...
Dinner was served.
Worried about retaliation from the servants, Eleanor Valerius demanded they each test-taste the dishes first.
Once assured the food was safe, she began to eat.
After only a few bites, she suddenly felt a nauseating churn in her stomach, barely making it to the bathroom before vomiting.
Panicked, the servants rushed to explain.
"Third Miss, we didn’t tamper with the food!"
Eleanor Valerius, suffering from the nausea, suddenly realized sothing was off with her body.
When was her last period?
That night.
Eleanor Valerius hid in the bathroom with a pregnancy test she had secretly purchased.
"The third one, let’s check the result again."
The result showed all three pregnancy tests displaying two red lines.
At this mont, Eleanor Valerius was completely frozen.
She unconsciously bit her finger, her voice trembling and slightly out of control, "Even though I took precautions every ti, which ti was the accident? How could I... how could I be pregnant with his child now?!"
In the next instant, she blankly looked down at her flat abdon, her vision gradually blurring.
She couldn’t distinguish whether she was feeling fear or devastation.
"Grandfather personally stated, the Ford Family wouldn’t allow a woman with unclear background like to bear Ford Family’s child. My relationship with Sebastian Ford... we have no relationship; how could this lead to a pregnancy..."
Especially today, she had completely ended things with Sebastian Ford.
Eleanor Valerius was so shocked by the pregnancy that her mind went blank, with all sorts of chaotic thoughts erging.
"Could I use the child in my womb to negotiate with Sebastian Ford? No way, am I crazy? How could I use pregnancy to threaten him, and he would’ve felt threatened! Sebastian Ford would never be coerced just because of a child."
Suddenly, Eleanor Valerius found all her thoughts rapidly negated.
Instinctively, her hand gently caressed her abdon.
While she couldn’t feel it yet, she sensed the presence of the child.
"Baby, Mommy never expected you to appear..."
Secretly pregnant with Sebastian Ford’s child, should she keep it or not?
