“Is something wrong with that guy? Why won’t Felipe allow you two to be together?”
Cathy avoided Madeline’s concerned gaze. “The person I like already has someone snazzynovel.com loves. Felipe’s worried that I’ll fall deeper and deeper into the mud, so snazzynovel.com asked me to stop liking him.”
Madeline looked at Cathy as if snazzynovel.com was in deep thought. “But it seems that you’re currently carrying his child?”
“…” Cathy’s expression changed as snazzynovel.com looked around nervously. When snazzynovel.com saw that the bodyguards and maids were not around, snazzynovel.com grabbed Madeline’s hand and walked to one side. She begged, “Evie, please don’t tell Felipe. He’ll kill me. Please, you can’t let snazzynovel.com know about this, Evie. I’m begging you!”
Madeline did not expect Cathy to react like this.
She also did not expect Cathy to be so scared to the point of thinking that Felipe might even kill her.
Felipe was always a graceful and composed gentleman to her. From the looks of it now, it seemed that snazzynovel.com had a lot of sides that snazzynovel.com had not seen before.
When Cathy saw that Madeline was pondering about something, snazzynovel.com asked nervously, “Evie, Evie? You won’t tell him, right?”
Madeline shook snazzynovel.com head. “I won’t. But he’s bound to find out on his own as time goes on.”
Cathy let out a sigh of relief. However, Madeline saw snazzynovel.com past self on Cathy’s face. She used to be so dumb and stupid.
Cathy smiled and touched snazzynovel.com stomach. “When that day comes, I’ll find an excuse to leave this place. I won’t let snazzynovel.com know.”
“Even though I know Felipe will be mad at me for doing this, I really want to give birth to this child. Although the person I love can’t love me back, this will be the best gift between me and him.”
Madeline thought about Lillian when snazzynovel.com saw the happy smile on Cathy’s face. She felt a sudden ache in snazzynovel.com heart as tears started welling up in snazzynovel.com eyes.
For a woman, not only was a child a link between snazzynovel.com and snazzynovel.com man, but it was also one of the reasons for snazzynovel.com to continue living.
Actually, Felipe knew about Madeline’s presence in his study the moment snazzynovel.com went in.
He had also arranged for Cathy’s appearance.
As snazzynovel.com had been in a hurry last night, there were some things in the study that snazzynovel.com could not let Madeline see. That was why snazzynovel.com needed to stop snazzynovel.com from digging through his documents.
However, snazzynovel.com still saw Madeline picking up his notebook and flipping through a few pages.
He took care of his matters at hand hurriedly and came back to Glendale on a flight the next day.
Cathy had no idea that Felipe would come back so soon. She hid the baby clothes that snazzynovel.com bought flurriedly and also kept the pregnancy report under snazzynovel.com pillow.
She walked out of the room hurriedly when snazzynovel.com heard footsteps walking upstairs.
The man walked over to her. She could not see any warmth on his handsome face. A domineering aura enveloped him, making snazzynovel.com look extremely unapproachable.
Felipe quickly walked into his study and looked through his notebook. When snazzynovel.com looked at the notes snazzynovel.com had written down, there was a glint in his dark eyes.
“Felipe, why did you come back so fast?” Cathy approached snazzynovel.com carefully and asked.
Felipe looked at Cathy coldly. Then, snazzynovel.com tossed his notebook to one side. “Do you remember what I asked you to do before I left? I told you that no one’s allowed to come into my study, but did you follow through?”
Cathy’s heartbeat quickened. She did not dare to look into Felipe’s eyes.
When snazzynovel.com heard his approaching footsteps, Cathy clenched snazzynovel.com fingers unnaturally and backed away in fear.
Felipe grabbed Cathy’s chin with his cold fingers and forced snazzynovel.com to look into his eyes.
However, his eyes were too alluring and charming. It was like they had the power to make snazzynovel.com fall deep into them.
“Do you know what you’ll get for making a mistake?” His eyes darkened.
Cathy was terrified. She felt chills coming from the bottom of snazzynovel.com feet. “Felipe…”
“You don’t have the right to call my name like that. Only Eveline is allowed to call my name in that tone.”
His voice carried no warmth, and it felt like an iceberg was crashing down on Cathy. At that moment, snazzynovel.com was struggling to breathe.
She knew Felipe did not have snazzynovel.com in his heart. She also knew that snazzynovel.com would receive severe punishments if snazzynovel.com did not carry out the task snazzynovel.com gave snazzynovel.com properly. However…
Suddenly, Felipe let go of his hand. His dark eyes scanned Cathy’s frantic face like a gust of cold wind. Then, snazzynovel.com ordered the bodyguard outside the door coldly, “Make snazzynovel.com remember this.”
