In the bar, all of the Six Young Masters of S City had arrived except for Liam Spencer.
Henry Reid looked at Asher Norton’s ostentatious display and wasn’t pleased. He turned to leave but was stopped by Asher Norton.
He said, "It’s just the right ti for everyone to drink together; collective brainstorming is more powerful."
"I can’t be bothered to let you all make fun of ." Henry Reid didn’t intend to stay.
"Congratulations, Young Master Reid!"
"Congratulations, Young Master Reid!"
What gave him more of a headache was that he hadn’t even thought of a solution yet, and Asher Norton had already made the matter known to everyone. People were continuously congratulating him, making him feel like hitting soone.
So he pulled Asher Norton aside, whispering a warning, "Are you trying to see humiliated? Noah Owen doesn’t want to give birth, nor marry , aren’t you setting up for a joke?"
"Are you stupid? Once people start calling her Young Madam Reid, she’ll be too embarrassed to refuse." Asher Norton said with a fake smile.
"You’re pushing it, Noah Owen won’t buy this trick." Henry Reid got anxious because Noah Owen simply wouldn’t fall for it; her flaw was being too independent.
"How do you know if you haven’t tried?" Asher Norton said nonchalantly.
Henry Reid looked at Asher Norton indifferent attitude and was so angry he was gnashing his teeth.
If he had known Asher Norton was coming up with a lousy idea, he wouldn’t have bothered telling him; he might as well have pestered Noah Owen himself—it would have been less infuriating.
"Congratulations, Young Master Reid!"
"Congratulations, Young Master Reid!"
Seeing Henry Reid in low spirits and ignoring the congratulations, Asher Norton proactively greeted the others, "Thank you! Thank you! Tonight, Young Master Reid is hosting and covering all expenses, have fun."
"Thank you, Young Master Reid."
"Asher Norton, you’re setting up to fail. You can’t even handle your own wife, and here you are, setting up; you have ill intentions." Henry Reid grabbed Asher Norton by the collar, almost ready to fight him.
Asher Norton, seeing the situation, calmly removed his hand, smirked, and said, "Cousin, why so anxious? The good show is yet to co. At midnight, the trending news will announce Noah Owen’s pregnancy, and I’ve already talked to the hospital; rest assured, no one dares to give her an operation. If she doesn’t marry you, then who?"
Henry Reid was dumbfounded, stunned by Asher Norton’s unilateral decision.
Asher Norton’s tactic of cutting off all retreats was despicable—despicable beyond words.
But Noah Owen isn’t so weak woman; once she sees the news, it could be his end. Even if the hospital refuses, what then? It’s not like Noah Owen wouldn’t have other ways. If she doesn’t want the child, she will have a thousand ways to get rid of it.
Thinking about it now made Henry Reid so furious he could almost spit blood. Glaring angrily at Asher Norton, he didn’t utter a single word.
Asher Norton looked at the pale-faced Henry Reid, smiled maliciously, and patted his shoulder, saying, "Cousin, we’re all family, no need to look at with such gratitude."
"Asher Norton."
"No more chatting with you. That fellow Liam Spencer will be bringing his wife soon. I have to gamble a few rounds with Christopher Scott and the rest before he arrives and win so drink money. Enjoy yourself and solve your problems alone. Oh, and rember to settle the bill, you’re in charge tonight."
"..." Henry Reid was speechless and felt like he had fallen into a trap.
What troubled him more was how he would face Noah Owen tomorrow; what if she exploded upon seeing the news...
...
anwhile, in Liam Spencer’s car, Maya Spencer sat silently in the front passenger seat, not saying a word.
She didn’t want to co to the bar initially, but Liam Spencer insisted on taking her out as she had been cooped up at ho for too long, and combined with Christopher Scott’s persistent calls, she had no choice but to co.
However, her mood remained low, especially since Ethan Turner had not long passed away, and she wasn’t in the mood to smile.
In the driver’s seat, Liam Spencer looked at the unhappy Maya Spencer, held her small hand, and comforted her, "Maya, life has to go on, let’s try not to be so sad, okay?"
"Mm!" Maya Spencer replied perfunctorily.
Seeing she was still unhappy, Liam Spencer inford her in advance, "Noah Owen is pregnant. Henry Reid is hosting tonight, and being this upset doesn’t look good."
"Noah Owen is pregnant?" Maya Spencer’s eyes widened suddenly, turning to stare at Liam Spencer intently.
Obviously, she was shocked by the sudden news of a baby. It was even more surprising to learn they had conceived so quickly—it was astonishing.
Liam Spencer saw her mood shift and hurriedly echoed, "Yes! When one person leaves, another cos; it’s the cycle of life, a fair trade by heaven."
Liam Spencer seized the opportunity to comfort Maya Spencer, hoping she would quickly overco her grief.
"Maybe that’s it! I didn’t expect Noah Owen to get pregnant so soon, what a surprise."
"Mm! We need to work hard in this regard, not to fall too far behind." Liam Spencer tried to shift the topic, encouraging thoughts of happiness and hope for the future.
Sure enough, hearing about the baby brightened Maya Spencer’s mood, helping her temporarily forget Ethan Turner’s passing.
Looking at Liam Spencer’s hopeful expression, Maya Spencer cautiously reminded, "The doctor said I couldn’t get pregnant for another six months, and even then, it would just be the dication clearing out; I’m not sure if emotions will have an impact."
"Six months will pass quickly; it’s already been almost two. You’ll definitely be fine." Liam Spencer encouraged with optimism.
He could tell that Maya Spencer loved and valued children very much.
He thought, maybe when they finally had children, Maya Spencer’s depression might improve.
"Do you like children?" Maya Spencer asked.
"Yes! Very much." Liam Spencer confird.
Although he might not like other people’s children, he would naturally love his and Maya Spencer’s baby—it was his responsibility.
"Will you be a good dad?" At this mont, Maya Spencer couldn’t help but imagine soone holding a child, finding the thought amusing.
"Of course, it’s an innate ability."
"Mm-hmm! Then we’ll have a couple more." Talking about children always made Maya Spencer smile.
Noah Owen’s pregnancy was undoubtedly the best news recently, giving her sothing worth smiling about and a glimpse of hope in life.
Thinking of children, Maya Spencer began contemplating future life, eager to see Noah Owen’s child born.
In the bar, Christopher Scott saw Liam Spencer and Maya Spencer from afar, waving and calling out, "Hey, sweetheart, over here."
As the two walked over, Christopher Scott pouted and said pitifully, "Oh! Sweetheart, are you still upset? Co on, let Brother Scott tell you a joke."
"Christopher, what are you up to?" Liam Spencer saw Christopher Scott trying to take Maya Spencer’s hand and imdiately stopped him.
"Third Brother, don’t tell you see as a rival?" Christopher Scott furrowed his brow, eyeing the nervous Liam Spencer curiously.
"I’m not wasting words with you. Maya can’t leave my side." Liam Spencer bluntly explained.
"Maya." At this point, Henry Reid suddenly approached, standing awkwardly in front of Maya Spencer.
eting Maya Spencer again, he felt embarrassed. Just so ti ago, he loved her deeply, but he was the first to have a child.
