Eleanor Valerius’s heart was particularly conflicted.
Faced with Damian Lowell’s persuasion, she hesitated and wavered, but in the end, she shook her head and refused.
"This is my child. I can’t just decide not to have it because of the Ford Family and his reasons. Years ago, my mom gave birth to Chloe and on her own. I felt her courage and love. This baby choosing is our fate, I truly like it, and I want to try being a mother."
Eleanor Valerius gently stroked her belly.
At this mont, her heart no longer hesitated. She decided to have the baby and had the courage to face all the consequences.
However, she reminded herself to move her feelings away from Sebastian Ford.
Now hiding the pregnancy, she couldn’t let the Ford Family harm the baby, nor let the baby bear the label of an illegitimate child.
Damian Lowell did not expect Eleanor Valerius would still be attached to Sebastian Ford’s child.
"Eleanor, you still have other choices now."
"I’ve made my choice."
After making a decision that didn’t go against her heart, Eleanor Valerius suddenly smiled with relief and said, "I am very clear about my choice, Vincent. I hope you can respect too."
Damian Lowell hesitated to speak.
"You’re calling Vincent now; how can I not respect you? But Eleanor, have you thought about what to do in the future?"
Eleanor Valerius thought seriously before answering.
"After helping my second sister get revenge, I’ll leave here, taking Chloe and my baby with ."
"Alright, Vincent will protect you and support all your decisions."
Damian Lowell gently touched Eleanor Valerius’s hair with a warm smile.
As long as she wanted to leave Sebastian Ford, he would definitely help her.
As for the child in her belly, he would persuade her to give it up later because he didn’t want her to have any ties with Sebastian Ford.
"Eleanor, you’re no longer fighting alone. There’s no need to have any reservations about like before. Believe in and accept my help."
"Mm, alright."
Eleanor Valerius paused slightly, turning slightly to avoid it.
She actually felt a bit unaccustod to Damian Lowell’s intimate gestures.
Vincent was her childhood sweetheart and first love, and this affection had always been in her heart.
However, Sebastian Ford overwheld her heart, forcefully occupying it.
She felt she had already changed her mind.
With Sebastian Ford in her heart, she couldn’t accept Damian Lowell crossing the line of friendship, and the first love beca a thing of the past.
At this mont, Eleanor Valerius received a call from Jade.
To avoid Mrs. Croft’s suspicion, they t in a nanny’s car.
Damian Lowell sat in the driver’s seat of another car, waiting, not interrupting their conversation.
"Miss Valerius, thank you for saving tonight."
Jade hid herself tightly, her eyes flickering with unease: "I know about Ivy Valerius’s situation. I’m touched by the sisterhood between you. Can you really put Mrs. Croft in jail and help us escape freely?"
"I can’t do it alone, so I hope all of you can co forward with your real nas to report. Only with courage can there be a chance!"
Eleanor Valerius received legal support from Damian Lowell, making the thod of filing the case clearer.
"Alright, I’ll take the lead in convincing them to stand up for themselves."
Jade’s eyes turned red, reminded of the fire started by Ivy Valerius.
And it was Eleanor Valerius, risking everything to expose the wickedness of the beauty salon in the news, that gave them hope.
"Don’t be afraid, we’ll work hard together."
Eleanor Valerius knew this was the reason for her persistence.
But she didn’t know that Sebastian Ford was looking for her.
Her phone was left in Damian Lowell’s car.
There were three missed calls, all from Sebastian Ford.
Each ti, Damian Lowell deliberately hung up and deleted the call logs.
Sebastian Ford, not knowing this, assud Eleanor Valerius was being indifferent and was almost on the verge of losing control.
Afterwards, Eleanor Valerius parted ways with Jade and returned to Damian Lowell’s car.
"Did the talks go smoothly?"
"Yes, they are all very good girls. This ti, we will definitely win!"
Eleanor Valerius picked up her phone, not noticing Damian Lowell’s flicker of unnatural concern.
Just then, her phone rang.
This ti it wasn’t Sebastian Ford but Regina Jennings.
After the call, Eleanor Valerius realized there was danger.
"Mrs. Croft is suspicious of and even called Regina Jennings to test . I can’t let them know that I’ve t with Jade, or our plan will fail. And if Regina Jennings finds out I went to the hospital, my pregnancy will be exposed."
Damian Lowell furrowed his brow and considered cautiously: "I have a way to help you keep tonight’s two events a secret, but we’ll need to cooperate with a little act."
...
Because Eleanor Valerius didn’t go ho, Mrs. Croft’s suspicion made the Valerius Family suffer.
So, Regina Jennings and Mrs. Croft arrived at the hotel overnight.
"Eleanor! Open the door quickly, I found your ID registered here,"
Regina Jennings ca to interrogate, not expecting to see Damian Lowell in a bathrobe after a shower when the door opened.
"Lawyer Lowell? Are you and Eleanor staying in a hotel room?"
Even Mrs. Croft was shocked.
She couldn’t believe it, she took a step closer and saw Eleanor Valerius indeed lying in bed, but as she wanted to enter, Damian Lowell blocked her way.
"We are both not married, so it’s normal to date after eting through a marriage match."
Mrs. Croft and Regina Jennings exchanged a glance; Damian Lowell was Eleanor Valerius’s alibi, dissolving their suspicion of her.
After they left, Damian Lowell closed the room door.
In the next instant, Eleanor Valerius hurriedly got up and, dressed, rushed to the bathroom to vomit.
Being pregnant was taking a toll on her body.
Damian Lowell furrowed his brow, knowing the child in her belly was Sebastian Ford’s only made him less accepting.
"Eleanor, the doctor said your body is a bit weak. Rest well tonight. I’m in the room next door; call if you need anything."
Before leaving, Damian Lowell turned off her phone to avoid Sebastian Ford bothering her again.
Eleanor Valerius was indeed too tired and fell asleep almost imdiately.
...
Sebastian Ford was sleepless again that night.
He seed to be sulking, waiting for Eleanor Valerius to call back.
But Eleanor Valerius never sought him out, which brought his mood to its darkest.
He endured until the next morning.
Sebastian Ford used software installed earlier on Eleanor Valerius’s phone to locate her.
"Why is Eleanor Valerius at a hotel?"
At the sa ti.
Eleanor Valerius woke up and turned on her phone, seeing no calls or ssages from Sebastian Ford.
It seed he really ant to let her go.
She touched her belly, talking to herself: "Baby, just wait a little longer, and mommy will take you to run away."
Damian Lowell knocked on the door outside.
"Eleanor, are you awake yet? I’ll go prepare breakfast."
"Okay."
But after washing up and waiting for a long ti, Damian Lowell’s breakfast still hadn’t arrived.
"Beep," the door opened.
"Lawyer Lowell’s breakfast is sure hard to wait for."
Feeling hungry, Eleanor Valerius stepped out and unexpectedly froze upon seeing the tall figure walking in.
"Master Ford?! What are you doing here?"
"Eleanor Valerius, who were you just calling for?"
Sebastian Ford’s face was sinister, his voice cold and icy.
The anger he had held all night exploded uncontrollably upon hearing Eleanor Valerius call for Damian Lowell.
"Did you run off so quickly last night just to purposely avoid and be with Damian Lowell here... in a hotel room?!"
Sebastian Ford misunderstood!
"I..."
Eleanor Valerius bit her lip, unable to explain she had gone to the hospital.
She had never seen Sebastian Ford so furious; his approaching footsteps lood over her with a dark presence.
"Eleanor Valerius, from this mont on, I won’t allow you to see any other n but . If you won’t obey, I’ll confine you and teach you slowly; you will only abide by the rules I set!"
Eleanor Valerius’s face turned to panic, and before she could react to run, Sebastian Ford scooped her up, carrying her over his shoulder.
"Wait, Sebastian Ford! Put down..."
She wanted to escape with the baby, yet before she could even attempt, Sebastian Ford was already capturing her back!
