Chapter 188 Candice Miler’s plain and simple words shocked everyone. Luca took a big stride down from the stage, with his face inexpressibly surprised. “Candice, you’re pregnant?!” “Yeah.” A gentle smile appeared on Candice’s innocent face as she took out a pregnancy test and gave it to Luca. “The baby is yours; it’s been four weeks.” He looked at the test sheet and pondered for a while. “Was it that night in the suburbs, in the car?” Her face was full of shyness, and she nodded gently. In public, the man and the woman looked like a couple in love who couldn’t hide it in the slightest, with pink bubbles bubbling up all
around them, which made the bride standing on the stage even more lonely and isolated. Eve invited a lot of reporters to promote herself, but the reporters thought that there was nothing to shoot. They were told that it was the wedding of the century, but it turned out that it even was not as good as a celebrity’s wedding banquet. They came all the way here, and
there was no place for them to sit, so they could only stand. The reporters were so angry that they thought they would hurry up and finish filming, so they could get their money and leave, but they didn’t expect to find such a big piece of information. On the day of the wedding, the mistress came with her son to crash the scene. It would be a huge headline. The camera zoomed in on Eve’s face, only to see that underneath her thick foundation, her face was already distorted with anger, and her eyes were bursting with a sinister look as if she was going to rip Candice open and strangle her to death in the next moment. At the banquet, everyone was abuzz about this. Newell Edwards could not sit still any longer and came over to question his son. “Who is this woman? What kind of day is it today, how dare you bring a woman who is not fit for purpose here? You want to embarrass me, don’t you?” Luca said, “Dad, this is Candice, she is pregnant with my child, you will soon have a grandchild.” Candice greeted Newell with a big smile, as pure as a flower. Candice saw her smiling face with arched eyebrows, and his tightly furrowed brow unconsciously relaxed. “Let’s talk about it later, you first get on and finish the wedding, when the wedding is over, you can marry as many as you want, it’s your business, I do not care!” Newell lowered his voice and warned his son. Morgan pushed his wheelchair with difficulty and said with a stern face, “What’s going on, why did a woman suddenly appear and say
something about being pregnant with Luca’s child? Brother Newell, shouldn’t you owe me an explanation?” His voice was so loud that Candice cursed the old man in the heart for not being afraid of being ashamed, so he went up to him and lowered his voice. “Calm down, I’m confused too. Let’s finish the wedding first, the guests are waiting, don’t let people watch the joke.” Morgan Newman was also a proud man, and after glaring at Luca, he finally nodded his head. But at that moment, Eve, who was full of resentment, did not want to go on with the wedding. She rushed down from the stage and was about to slam into Candice’s stomach. “Bitch, how dare you to come to my wedding and spill your guts, I’m going to beat you to death!” Candice looked at Eve fearlessly, as she had expected Eve to go mad. The more Eve lost control on this occasion, the bigger the disgrace would be, and the greater Candice’s chances of winning would be. She rushed forward with her wedding dress, but her heels were too high, and she tripped over the skirt of her wedding dress as she went down the steps, twisted her ankle and fell uncontrollably! People were gasping at the scene. Eve faced the ground and when she raised her head, she felt dizzy. She felt her mouth was fishy and salty, and something else was pinching her. She spat out and two incisors fell to the ground mixed with blood. She finally could see, and the pain came overwhelmingly. “Ah…” A terrifying scream blew off the roof and cut through the sky. Eve felt so miserable. The wedding rushed to an end in mess. When Hailey walked out of the hotel, a rare smile appeared on her face. It was fun to see Eve with such a hilarious look. It was the right day for this wedding. If people had missed this show, they would have regretted it for the rest of their lives. Matthew said with amusement, ‘This wedding is perfect, such a drama, I never thought it would end in a comedy …… it’s real twists and turns, ups and downs.” He looked toward Hailey. “Your cousin is such a talent!” Hailey did not say anything about this, Matthew then looked at Owen. “This wedding was as chaotic as the one you had, but it was worth the price.” Owen gave him a cold glance, wanting to sew his mouth shut. It wasn’t a big deal.
Hailey raised her eyebrows and laughed. “Yes, Owie’s wedding of the century was also very impressive and dramatic.” As if his throat was cut with a sword, Owen tightened his jaw, unable to say anything.
Hailey was just taunting Owen, not meaning for him to respond, and she hastily waved goodbye to them, went inside the car with Ava and
set oft. In the car, Ava had obviously not yet gotten over the chaos of the situation and had been in a daze. Hailey tilted her head to look at Ava. “What, are you shocked?” Ava looked at Hailey and nodded her head. “Sis, that woman who came out of nowhere, who is that? She said she was pregnant with Luca’s child, is that true?” Hailey said with a slight look, “That woman’s name is Candice Miler, she and Luca have been together for quite a long time, and Eve also knows that. As for the child, there should be no need for her to lie, after all, once the DNA test is done, we will know whether it is biological or not, even if not, you can tell by looking at Luca’s expression.” Ava pursed her lips. “But, what about Eve? She just got married, does she want to get a divorce?” “Divorce?” Hailey snorted lightly. “A woman who can tolerate a man cheating before marriage, it’s no surprise if that man cheats after marriage. If
she puts up with it once, there will be a thousand times. Even if Luca brought his mistress home and blatantly became his other wife, Eve would not divorce, what she wanted from the beginning was the status of Mrs. Edwards.” “I don’t understand.” Ava shook her head incomprehensibly. “Why does she have to be so condescending and make such a compromise? What’s the point of such a marriage?” “Not all women can put up with that. Everyone wants different things, some want fame and status, while some only search for true love.” Hailey said softly, but with a cold smile, “But fame and fortune are easy to obtain, but a true heart is hard to find. If it were you, how would you choose?” Ava thought for a moment. “I can earn my own fame and fortune. I hope my future husband will be able to treat me wholeheartedly. If we are not exclusive, I’d rather not have it.” “Well said, that’s my sister.” Hailey smiled and stroked Ava’s head. Ava pursed out a smile and asked again, “Sis, where did Luca go? I saw him run out in a panic; I don’t know what he was busy with.” “He’s trying his best to salvage his year-end bonus.” Hailey hummed softly, and Ava, seeing that her sister’s face got darkened, did not dare to ask more questions. When they arrived at the Garden of Rose, they saw an old man smoking a bag of cigarettes squatting at the gate. Chris Marsh and the
others were standing by his side, with a hopeless look on their face. When they saw Hailey come across the distance, they all felt as if they had been granted amnesty. Hailey got out of the car and first looked at Chris, then turned her eyes to the old man squatting on the ground and spoke in a trembling voice, “Grand …… grandfather?” Ava also got out of the car and looked at the old man without saying a word, and her lips slowly pursed into a straight line. The old man was a little uncomfortable by the gazes, and he threw his cigarette to the ground and put it out, and then put his hands on his hips. He clapped his hands and straightened his suit before he raised his head, then opened his arms and made a mischievous grin. “Two little girls, why don’t you come over and let grandpa give you a hug?”
