Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)



He really shouldn't have gotten get pregnant so early on!

For the first time, Willy felt that the decision was a total mistake! Once the baby was born, there might not be a spot left for him!

Looking at Lauren right then, a warm image of Frederick and Alicia carrying their child suddenly appeared in his mind, as well as Frederick's head of dazzling white hair. Feeling sentimental, he suddenly felt that he was unbearably blessed.

Without having to experience so many setbacks, he already had everything that Frederick had!

The woman in front of him was what he wanted! At that moment, Willy was unprecedentedly certain of that fact.

Holding her tiny hand as he toyed with it, Willy held her hand, with their fingers intertwined. "Let's go!"

When he turned around, the pace of his feet had noticeably slowed down a lot, but when he moved, he clearly felt a hesitant drag from behind. Looking back, he caught the frightened emotions that flashed in Lauren's eyes.

Turning around, Willy held her dainty face and pinched it, and then planted a kiss on her forehead. "I won't dig a hole for you ever again! Even if it's my mother, I won't let her hurt you!"

That was his promise to her!

The image of her collapsing, kneeling and crying flashed across his head. Truth to be told, Willy's heart suddenly ached too. That poor little woman had suffered too much, and he had owed her too much as well!

After which, Willy took her out.

Right then, a small banquet was in full swing in the Bowles family's mansion. Vanessa was dressed in a fancy outfit, looking gorgeous. The people she had invited that time were obviously different, because the guests weren't only close acquaintances of the Bowles family, there were also many unfamiliar ones. However, all the guests had one thing in common, that being they had all come with beautiful, unmarried, young women! Naturally, Wendy was also invited.

As soon as she saw Vanessa, she obediently followed behind her mother, Aurelia, as they went to greet her. The two held hands and had a lively conversation. Vanessa had a rather good impression of her, and she was full of smiles.

"Wendy is still as sensible as always. She's really getting more and more beautiful! Like mother like daughter, after all! How wonderful! She's nothing like my bratty son, whom I only see once a week! The biggest regret in my life is that I didn't have a daughter! I'm so jealous..."

"Come on, they say that daughters would just end up in others' families as they grow up! She isn't even married yet, but is already taking others' sides! You could just have some granddaughters in the future, Vanessa!"

"That's what I thought too. I just wish that I could get a granddaughter as soon as possible! It's a pity I don't have a say considering my son is grown up already. Sigh, he just won't listen to me and have a granddaughter first... Ugh, it's because I don't have any other options that I decided to invite a few more young and beautiful girls over, in hopes that he can open his eyes and discern between the good and bad!"

As she chatted with Aurelia, Vanessa was still holding Wendy's hand, and was genuinely pleased with her from the bottom of her heart! After all, the two families had a good relationship and had gone down the same path for many years. She was also rather familiar and close to Wendy. Vanessa privately hoped that Wendy and Willy would make some progress together, but the situation at hand prevented her from saying anything. After all, Willy obviously already had an illegitimate child right then.

At that moment, Vanessa was still a little puzzled. She didn't understand why Willy had asked her to hold such a banquet. He had even said that he could pick out the person who was using her identity to call Lauren and let her see with her own eyes whether it was Lauren who was putting on a show on her own or not. Since she didn't fully understand, Vanessa was still being rather obscure about it, and she couldn't stop sighing.

Meanwhile, meeting Aurelia's gaze, Wendy saw that and completely understood it differently as Vanessa being dissatisfied and refusing to accept Lauren.

As they were talking, there was a commotion at the door. The three of them looked over at the same time and saw Willy embracing Lauren, whose belly was protruding, as they appeared at the door. Even though Lauren's movements were obviously slow, the two of them still shone like a bright star, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Willy's gentleness and consideration couldn't be hidden at all, much like Lauren's belly.

As soon as she looked over, Vanessa's expression visibly changed. Naturally, that did not escape Wendy's eyes either.

Soon, Willy held Lauren's hand as they came over. Similarly, Lauren was hesitant, and her face was pale as well. If not for Willy forcefully holding on to her, she really had an impulse to run away.

Reluctantly going forward, Lauren glanced at Vanessa's face and did not even dare to look for too long.

"Mom, I'm sorry, we came back late. Didn't you say that it was just a family reunion? Why is it so grand?" Willy asked, pretending to be confused. Then, he continued right away.

"Let me introduce you two! This is Lauren Heady, my girlfriend! Laurie, this is my mother!"

After saying that, Willy's hand was still gently pinching Lauren's waist. Then, he heard her speak up softly.

"H... Hello, Mrs. Bowles!"

Her voice was like a whisper, especially pleasant to the ear, but was also slightly shaky. It was just loud enough to be heard by everyone.

Lauren's fear was clear as day.

Under the cover of the dress, her belly still couldn't be concealed. With her pale face, she exuded an air of humbleness. Suddenly, she thought of what Willy had said, and also of her background.

Inexplicably, Vanessa's heart softened and she took the initiative to respond.

"Yes, it's nice to meet you!"

Her attitude was still rather gentle. Their encounter was still a little awkward. Vanessa was not very comfortable with it either, so she turned to throw a look at Willy.

Then, they greeted Wendy and Aurelia before the three of them went to another side. At that moment, Alfred also came over, but his eyes once again fell on Lauren.

"Miss Heady, are you really an orphan? Your parents....."

As soon as he began to speak, he saw Lauren's expression changed. Willy and Vanessa looked at Alfred with complicated emotions. What was wrong with him?

Alfred suddenly realized what he had said, then continued.

"Don't get me wrong, there's no other meaning behind it! You look like someone I know. What I mean is that if you want to look for your biological parents, I may be able to help!"

Sensing his kindness, Lauren actually had a good impression of him. She immediately replied, "Thank you, Mr. Bowles! Unfortunately, my parents are not around anymore..."

Her words made the atmosphere turn heavy. "I'm sorry about it!"

"It's okay!"Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Looking at her soft, big belly, Vanessa suddenly had more sympathy for her.

She was a pitiful orphan! Although she was sure that Willy would be

best matched with a better, more outstanding woman, at a time like that, she could not deny that a person who had no relatives and had to struggle at the bottom of the social circle indeed, did not have many opportunities to choose. The truth was that it was still survival of the fittest in the society!

At that moment, she subtly began to believe that Willy really might have been the one to make the first move, even if Lauren did have the intention to cling on to someone prestigious. Otherwise, how could she be so daring, and how could she have gotten pregnant?

They chatted for a while. Thinking of Willy's words, Lauren suddenly covered her stomach. "Ouch... My stomach hurts..."

"What's wrong? Did you eat something that's gone bad?"

Once Willy spoke, Vanessa did not know what was going on and got a shock. "I will get someone to warm some milk for her!" Shaking her head, Lauren quickly said, "No! I might just have been standing for too long!"
