Chapter 175
Celia understood and knelt down in front of Channing. “Dad, I beg you to let me keep this child! If I kill him, I will never have a child in my life!”
“Celia, it’s not that Dad doesn’t want you to keep this child, but this child… Hey!” If it was another man’s child, Channing would have asked Celia to stay. However, this child belonged to Rodney. He had just gone to find Amber to let her reconcile with him. Now that such a thing had happened, how could he face Amber?
Shannon reached out and wiped her tears. “Child, this is your life. Just accept it!”
“Dad, it’s cruel for a woman not to have children. I was framed. It’s not my fault. You can’t do this to me!”
Celia was not pretending at this time. If Channing really wanted her to have a miscarriage, then her whole life would be over. Rodney would not have anything to do with her, and she would not have a child. It was easy to imagine the days in the future.
“Dad, I know you are afraid that I will disturb my sister and brother-in-law. I swear! I will not disturb them. I will go far away. Don’t you want me to go abroad? I will leave right away. I will never stay here!”
Channing looked at his daughter, who was kneeling on the ground and crying. He also felt uncomfortable. He reached out to help Celia up and said, “Get up. Let’s talk about this when we get back.”
This was a concession. Shannon and Celia felt relieved. Shannon reached out to help Celia up, and the whole family returned to South City. On the way back, Channing had been closing his eyes and resting, without saying a word.
Shannon and Celia didn’t say anything, but the mother and daughter finally calmed down. As the saying goes, tigers never eat their children. Channing’s soft heart was expected, and they won in the end.
A few hours later, they returned to the South City. The car stopped outside the villa. As soon as Channing opened the door and got out of the car, Shannon and her daughter followed him in.
As soon as Channing entered the house, he went straight into the study and motioned for Shannon and her daughter to follow him in. He closed the door and said, “I just thought about it in the car. Since this matter has already happened, I should actively find a way to deal with it. Now Amber and Rodney still don’t know about it. In order to prevent things from expanding and for everyone’s good, Celia, you go abroad immediately. You can give birth to your child abroad. Don’t come back if there is nothing in the future.”
“I’ll listen to Dad.” Celia looked well-behaved. As long as Channing agreed to let her give birth to a child, it would be a victory for her. As for never coming back, was it possible? Not to mention that she would never go abroad, even if she went abroad and didn’t come back, now the country was so developed, how could she leak the news of pregnancy to Amber?
With her around as a time bomb, Amber and Rodney wouldn’t be able to get married again.
Celia thought so, but Channing just spoke again. “I haven’t finished my words yet. I agree to let you give birth to this child only because of your body. There is no other reason. Don’t have any bad ideas. You think giving birth to this child is an opportunity. I’ll put the ugly thing in front of you first. You can’t imagine Rodney!” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Dad, don’t worry. I don’t have any feelings for him anymore,” Celia promised.
“It’s best if you don’t have any thoughts. I have to warn you that you must keep the fact that Celia is pregnant a secret for me. If I know that you deliberately leaked the news to Amber, I will never be
polite!”
The mother and daughter hurriedly promised that they would never reveal anything. Aunt Maleah put the food on the table and invited them to eat. Channing and Shannon were hungry. The three of them ate silently, while Aunt Maleah waited on them.
After dinner, Channing just entered the study, and Aunt Maleah was busy tidying up. Celia said that she was tired and went upstairs to rest. Shannon brought tea to Channing and went to her daughter’s room.
“Mom, what should we do now?” Celia lowered her voice and asked.
“The most important thing now is to reveal the news of your pregnancy to Amber.”
“I know, but with my father’s attitude now, if we reveal the news of my pregnancy at this time, he will definitely think that we did it. What should we do?”
“Isn’t there a ready-made one at home?” Shannon sneered.
“Are you talking about Aunt Maleah?”
“Yes, she is very kind to that little b*tch. You deliberately vomited in front of her, and she will definitely think of this. At that time, she will help us to leak the news to Amber.”
Celia nodded. “Good idea!”
The mother and daughter were here to discuss how to let Aunt Maleah tell Amber about it. Channing had also called Aunt Maleah into the study and told her about Celia’s pregnancy. “You have to keep it a secret. You can’t tell Amber about it. If you tell him, she will definitely not forgive Rodney.”
Aunt Maleah nodded. “I see. I won’t tell Amber.”
Shannon robbed the man of Ashley with Celia, and now her daughter had ruined Amber’s child. How could she bear it? Aunt Maleah really wanted to kill the child in Celia’s belly.
However, Channing had just said that the child could not be moved, because there was something wrong with Celia’s body. If she got the child, she would never have a child in her life. Aunt Maleah was vicious and thought that it would be good if the child was gone and she would be rewarded.
There was no light in the room. Rodney stood by the window and looked out quietly. Rachel’s shrill voice came from downstairs. It should be Riya who had made her angry again. Her mother’s temper had always been bad. She could deal with a little thing. Ordinary people could not bear it at all.
Rodney remembered that the nanny at home used to change frequently until Riya went to their house to be a nanny.
Riya had a good temper and was willing to do whatever she wanted. No matter how hard her mother tried, she could bear it. He also cared about Riya and gave her an unusually high salary. In this way, Riya had never left because of her mother’s blame.
The scolding downstairs was getting louder and louder, and it seemed that the more she acted, the more violent she became. Rodney frowned and wondered what his mother was going to do.
It seemed that recently, she had been more dissatisfied with Riya than before. Rodney didn’t want to interfere, but he finally couldn’t stand it and opened the door and went out.
Looking down from the second floor, he saw that Rachel was sitting in a wheelchair and scolding Riya in excitement. Riya had her back to her mother. She lowered her head, took a towel, and knelt on the ground to wipe the floor without saying a word. Rodney stood upstairs and was about to persuade her, but he swallowed his words when he saw the resentment on Riya’s face.
He never dreamed that Riya, who usually kept silent and only endured humiliation, would show such an expression. He coughed softly. As he coughed, the resentment on Riya’s face suddenly disappeared and was replaced by her usual docile and humble look. Rodney even suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes just now.
He came up with an idea and went downstairs. “Mom, what are you doing?”
“I asked her to cook sugar-coated bird’s nest for me. She put so much sugar in it. Does she want me to die of sweetness?” Rachel was very angry.
“This is a small matter. Is it really worth it?” Mu Rodney frowned.
“It’s not a big deal. She has been in our house for more than nine years. She has been a person for nine years. She can’t even grasp the taste of a master. It proves that she doesn’t work hard at all. Shouldn’t you say it?”
The number made Rodney frown more tightly. He and Amber met and got married nine years ago. Thinking about it, he knew that Riya was indeed the nanny who came to their house after he and Amber got married. Seeing his mother continue to scold Riya, Rodney signaled Riya to leave and stop listening to her mother’s nagging. He pushed his mother to the event room.
After closing the door, Rodney said with blame, “Mom, there’s always something wrong with a horse. You don’t have to make such a fuss once in a while. Think about what others have done for you. Not everyone is willing to work hard for you.”
“What are you talking about? I didn’t give her any salary. Think about it. Which nanny’s salary would be so high? She spent at least a few million dollars in our house for nine years.”
“So we should cherish it. She has saved so much money in the past few years. She doesn’t need to work so hard at all. Instead, she can use this money to do a small business and enjoy her old age.”
Rodney continued to persuade her. “She stayed at our house to prove that she has feelings for us. Mom, we are human beings. Even if a dog was raised for nine years, it would still be reluctant, let alone a human being. You can’t treat him like this.”
“Do you think she really wants to stay in our house?” Rachel snorted. “Let me tell you, her staying in our house has nothing to do with feelings. It really has something to do with money.”
“I can’t work for nothing. It’s natural to make money by labor.”
“I didn’t want to expose her scandal. Since you’re so protective of her, I’ll show you who she is.”
Rachel was also angry. “Let me tell you, this Riya is not a good person at all. She actually keeps a toy boy outside. Do you know who the man she keeps is? I have seen Channing’s driver. He is dozens of years younger than her. You say, this old man is not shy. If he wants to find a man of similar age, why should he find such a young man? He can be a mother…”
“She’s just a nanny for our family, not a slave. We can’t meddle in other people’s private affairs.” Rodney interrupted Rachel.
That day, he saw in the pharmacy that Channing’s driver and Riya felt that something was wrong, so he asked Deon to check it out. There was no result yet, but he didn’t expect that his mother would say that Riya and Channing’s driver had such a relationship.
“We have to choose a person with a good moral quality to choose employees. Why would I want such an immoral thing to be an eyesore in our house?” Rachel asked.
Hearing this, Rodney sneered. “Mom is right. Since you hate people with loose morals, why do you have to marry the daughter of a mistress?”
Rachel was rendered speechless by his question. Rodney continued to ask, “Don’t you hate moralists the most? But your best friend, Itzel, is an honest mistress. You should think about yourself when you talk about people.”
Rachel became angry from embarrassment. “The reason why Itzel and I are good friends is not because of this. We are grateful for our kindness. In the past, Itzel treated me well, so I naturally should treat her well. As for Celia, she is kind. She has never done anything against morality. Although she is the mother of a mistress, Celia doesn’t want to. You can’t blame her for this.”
No wonder it was unreasonable to say that he liked one person and hated one person. Rachel’s protection of Celia was within Rodney’s expectation. He had never thought about changing his mother’s opinion of Celia in a short time.
At this moment, he didn’t want to expose his purpose too early. Celia was so pretentious that she even deceived him, let alone his mother. He would slowly tear off her disguise so that his mother could see it clearly.
