403: Chapter 410: 2 Paths 403: Chapter 410: 2 Paths “Hmph, nothing to say now, huh?
You bastard, marrying soone else but having bear your child, do I owe you sothing in this life?” lody Yoody’s anger surged up again when she saw John Brown’s expression.
John Brown hastily held lody Yoody tight, anxiously said, “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, let’s talk it out properly.”
“Are you concerned about the child or ?” lody Yoody stubbornly glared at John Brown, waiting for his answer.
“Of course, I’m concerned about you.
If we lose the child, we can try again, but if your health is hard because of it, I’d be heartbroken.”
For a pregnant woman, John Brown could only put Gina Lopez aside and focus solely on coaxing lody Yoody.
Won generally have a bigger temper during pregnancy, which is normal, but lody Yoody, feeling wronged, had an even bigger temper.
She forcefully pinched John Brown and said through gritted teeth, “You make it sound easy.
If I lose this child, I’ll never be able to get pregnant again in my life.”
John Brown was startled, holding lody Yoody tighter but careful not to press on her stomach, cautiously asked, “Why do you say that?”
“Humph, scared now?
I knew you were married and didn’t want this child.
Who knew a check-up at the hospital would say this is my only chance in life to have a child?
The miscarriage with you before had left with sequelae, so being pregnant this ti is already very lucky.”
“Then we’re even luckier than winning the lottery.
We’ve tried twice, and the last ti was just a few days ago, isn’t that like hitting the bullseye?”
“Get lost, you still have the mood to joke.
Now, what are you going to do?
I’m definitely having this child.
I can’t go through life not being a mother.
I can’t let this child be born without a father, can I?”
“That’s definitely not acceptable,” John Brown replied very directly.
“Then divorce Gina Lopez now and marry ,” lody Yoody was equally direct.
John Brown was stumped.
If he hadn’t married Gina Lopez, he would certainly marry lody Yoody at this point.
But now that he was already married, bringing up divorce made him feel like he couldn’t make such a decision.
“Humph, I knew your feelings were insincere.” lody Yoody snorted, pushed John Brown away, and turned to walk towards the sofa.
John Brown quickly followed her, ready to protect her at any mont, afraid she would fall.
Feeling John Brown’s tension, lody Yoody couldn’t help but feel a bit of happiness in her heart, but thinking of John Brown marrying Gina Lopez made her quite angry again.
After sitting down, lody Yoody glared at John Brown and said, “There are two options now: divorce Gina Lopez and marry , or I find so man and marry him, giving the child a stepfather.
I believe even knowing the child isn’t theirs, soone would be willing to take over.”
“No!” John Brown imdiately shouted with wide eyes.
“Why are you shouting?” lody Yoody glared back at John Brown and said, “Are you saying the first option isn’t possible, the second option isn’t possible, or neither?”
lody Yoody knew very well that John Brown’s yell was entirely because of the second option, and she deliberately used it to agitate him.
She hadn’t been in a good mood these days, and annoying John Brown felt surprisingly good.
John Brown took out a cigarette, about to light it, but hurriedly threw it onto the table, which made lody Yoody’s lips curl into a slight smile.
She knew it was because she was pregnant, and he didn’t want to smoke in front of her anymore.
“lody, this really puts in a difficult position.
Can you…give so ti?”
Seeing the difficult expression on John Brown’s face, lody Yoody’s heart softened, and she gently sighed, “Alright, I won’t force you.
Do your best.
Don’t worry, I won’t find a stepfather for our child.
No matter how hard it is for , I’ll raise this child.”
“lody!” John Brown held lody Yoody’s hand, his voice suddenly choked with emotion.
lody Yoody pulled John Brown close, letting his head rest on her leg.
The gesture was so natural, even after seven or eight years without doing it, it didn’t feel awkward now.
“Don’t feel bad, I was just losing my temper with you earlier.
You’re a grown man, yet you’re crying like this.”
Ever since joining the army, John Brown hadn’t cried, but at this mont, he truly wanted to.
In front of lody Yoody, he never had to pretend to be so strong because lody Yoody was with him during his most vulnerable tis, and she’d seen all his weaknesses.
If lody Yoody spent the whole ti throwing a fit, hitting and scolding him, John Brown might feel a lot better.
At least it would let lody Yoody vent a little, which could lessen his emotional burden.
But not only did lody Yoody not get mad, she even ca over to comfort him, which made John Brown’s heart ache more with guilt towards her.
Leaning on lody Yoody’s leg, hugging her waist, reminded both him of the past.
When he was bullied, lody Yoody comforted him like this, and pressing his face against lody’s belly cald his heart, feeling as if the little life inside her also sensed it.
The door opened, Michael Wilson walked in, holding a large bouquet of fiery red roses.
But seeing the posture between John Brown and lody Yoody, his face turned livid, teeth gnashing, eyes blood-red as if he wanted to tear John Brown apart.
John Brown didn’t get up, and lody Yoody didn’t ask him to.
Her hand was still gently caressing John Brown’s face as she said to Michael Wilson, “Mr.
Carter Jr., you’re here.”
The calmness in her voice almost drove Michael Wilson to madness, and he yelled angrily, “lody Yoody, what do you an by this?”
lody Yoody smiled faintly and said, “I don’t an anything.
I’m with my man, do I need to report to Young Master Woods?”
“Nonsense, do you know what your status is right now?”
“Of course I know, but even if I’m a mayor, I still have the right to date and the right to be affectionate with my man, don’t I?”
“You…
don’t forget, we’re about to be engaged.”
lody Yoody smiled slightly and said, “You know it’s just ‘about to,’ right?
As long as we’re not married, I have the right to be with another man.”
“You…
you bitch!” Michael Wilson was furious.
With his status, he could have any woman he wanted, and won more beautiful than lody Yoody were easy to find.
But he was so devoted to being with lody Yoody not just because of family reasons but because she was always lukewarm towards him.
That kind of hard-to-get feel was what made him determined to marry lody Yoody.
He could endure her indifference because once she beca his wife, things would naturally be fine.
But seeing another man resting on her legs was sothing he couldn’t handle and he raised his hand to slap lody Yoody’s face.
Only a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, then John Brown slowly sat up, with a cold glint in his eyes, said distinctly, “Don’t touch my woman!” With each word, John Brown sat up more, turning his hand over, forcing Michael Wilson’s body to twist.
By the ti John Brown sat up, Michael Wilson was already kneeling on the floor with a thud, not because John Brown scared him, but because John Brown twisted his arm in such a way that kneeling was the only option unless he wanted his arm broken.
Hearing John Brown’s few words, lody Yoody’s eyes filled with a sudden infatuation.
The John Brown she knew before never had such dominance, but this commanding presence, although slightly unfamiliar, made lody Yoody like him more than ever.
He was no longer the boy who needed her protection and comfort, but a man who stood tall and strong.
“Let go!
Let go!
Damn it, let go of !” Michael Wilson, kneeling, tried to struggle, but moving caused his arm such pain it felt broken, leaving him only capable of swearing through clenched teeth.
John Brown’s wrist flicked again gently, nearly causing Michael Wilson’s head to hit the floor, startling a cry out of him.
With no ti to curse, he quickly placed his other hand on the ground to support himself.
“You dare hit , you dare hit !” Michael Wilson scread hoarsely.
All his life, it was him bullying others, forcing people to kneel.
But now, being forced to kneel before John Brown, this was sothing he couldn’t accept, and he couldn’t stop repeating those words.
lody Yoody had been enjoying the mont with John Brown, but the sudden turn of events made her panic.
With Michael Wilson’s significant family background, it wouldn’t be hard for him to hurt John Brown.
She frantically grabbed John Brown’s hand and said urgently, “Let him go quickly.”
John Brown, obedient at this ti to whatever lody Yoody said, imdiately released his hand and softly asked, “Were you scared?”
lody Yoody gave John Brown a sideways glance, her eyes originally full of reproach now softened with affection, knowing that he reacted because Michael Wilson had tried to hit her.
Michael Wilson got up rubbing his right wrist with his left hand, his face twisted and said through gritted teeth, “Fine, kid.
Last ti, I let it slide, but this ti you dare hit .
If I don’t bring you down, I’ll spell my na backward.”
This wasn’t just a threat from Michael Wilson.
His murderous intent was real, wanting to make John Brown pay with his life to vent his anger.
