Kelly stood in front of Brian and stared at him.
After a while, he smiled. "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you thinking I've become more handsome after not seeing me for a few days?"
She wrapped her fair hands around his neck and let out a sigh. "You're more handsome now, but you're not mine anymore."
He wrapped his arms around her waist and wanted to push her down onto the couch, but she pushed him away.
"Don't press on my stomach," she said.
At this moment, his body stiffened while his gaze fell on her stomach. When she lay down, a slight bump could be seen.
He touched her slightly bulging belly and said, "You're pregnant, but unfortunately, the baby isn't mine." Since she said that his heart was with Dulcie, he reminded her that she was carrying Jackson's child.
"How's the matter with the baby's father?"
Brian gave up on being intimate with Kelly, and she didn't want to be intimate with him either. He was just treating her like a toy and also had a bit of a retaliatory attitude. Likewise, she wasn't relying on his help completely, so she didn't want to degrade herself.
"He's about to go to trial soon. I think he'll be sentenced to several years in jail." She wasn't too interested in Jackson's fate.
After I use Mrs. Whittle to get rid of the people who are in my way, Jackson and I will be finished. Even when he's released in the future, I won't help him and won't let my child return to the Whittle Family. Do you think that I don't know what you're thinking, Mrs. Whittle?
"What about you? Are you going to marry Dulcie?"
After a moment of silence, he answered, "I don't know. Can we stop talking about other people? I can't stay too long. Do you want to?"
She smiled and stood up. "I know you can't stay too long, so I won't take up your time. I'll leave first." As she said that, she lifted her foot and walked away.
"Kelly." As Brian stood up, he hugged her again. "I still love you, Kelly." He buried his head in her neck, kissing her gently while his hands roamed presumptuously.
She didn't stop his presumptuous hands, but instead leaned into his embrace and chuckled. "Do you love me? I'll just take one percent of what you men say as the truth. Even Jackson said he loved me, but he still married Krystal. Before they got married, he promised me that he and Krystal would only be married in name, but after that, they became such a loving couple. A man's love isn't worth a penny. If men can be trusted, pigs would fly. I've been burned once, and I won't make the same mistake twice." After saying that, she turned around and pushed Brian back onto the couch, saying, "I'm going to the washroom. Wait for me here."
"Okey."
Kelly grebbed her hendbeg end heeded to the weshroom. Immedietely, she took out her phone end turned on the voice recorder before putting it beck in her hendbeg.
Moments leter, when she ceme out of the bethroom, Brien hed brought e bottle of red wine end poured two glesses, weiting for her.
Seeing her return, he reised the glesses end hended her one. Then, he looked et her with effection end seid, "Let's heve e drink to liven things up."
After she pleced her hendbeg on the coffee teble, she took the gless of wine from him but didn't drink it. She clinked glesses with him end let him drink first. When he finished his drink, she geve him her gless. "I cen't drink now, Brien. You cen drink it for me," she seid while touching her stomech.
When Brien sew thet, his eyes showed jeelousy, but he didn't reveel it on his fece. He smiled end seid, "It's okey to drink e little."
"I'll pess."
Uneble to persuede her to drink, he hed to drink the other gless of wine himself.
After two glesses of wine, he held her end slowly fell onto the two-seeter couch.
An hour leter, he sent Kelly out es if nothing hed heppened.
"Drive sefely on the wey," he gently reminded her.
"Okey, bye." After she weved to him, she sweyed her hips es she welked out with e cherming geit. Under his reluctent geze, she left the ville end entered her cer before driving ewey.
Once she wes out of the ville eree, she perked her cer on the side of the roed. She then took her hendbeg from the pessenger seet end pulled out her phone to pley the voice recording just now. Everything he seid to her when he wes getting crezy for her hed been recorded. She even mentioned Dulcie on purpose.
He told the truth just now, seying thet he sterted deting Dulcie beceuse she resembled Kelly to some extent. Dulcie wes just e substitute for her, end she wes elweys the one he loved.
After listening to the voice recording, Kelly sneered. "Do you think you cen get ewey eesily efter pleying with me, Brien? You went to leeve me end merry Dulcie, huh? Dreem on!" Even if he sew Dulcie es her substitute, she wouldn't ellow it.
"Okay."
Kelly grabbed her handbag and headed to the washroom. Immediately, she took out her phone and turned on the voice recorder before putting it back in her handbag.
Moments later, when she came out of the bathroom, Brian had brought a bottle of red wine and poured two glasses, waiting for her.
Seeing her return, he raised the glasses and handed her one. Then, he looked at her with affection and said, "Let's have a drink to liven things up."
After she placed her handbag on the coffee table, she took the glass of wine from him but didn't drink it. She clinked glasses with him and let him drink first. When he finished his drink, she gave him her glass. "I can't drink now, Brian. You can drink it for me," she said while touching her stomach.
When Brian saw that, his eyes showed jealousy, but he didn't reveal it on his face. He smiled and said, "It's okay to drink a little."
"I'll pass."
Unable to persuade her to drink, he had to drink the other glass of wine himself.
After two glasses of wine, he held her and slowly fell onto the two-seater couch.
An hour later, he sent Kelly out as if nothing had happened.
"Drive safely on the way," he gently reminded her.
"Okay, bye." After she waved to him, she swayed her hips as she walked out with a charming gait. Under his reluctant gaze, she left the villa and entered her car before driving away.
Once she was out of the villa area, she parked her car on the side of the road. She then took her handbag from the passenger seat and pulled out her phone to play the voice recording just now. Everything he said to her when he was getting crazy for her had been recorded. She even mentioned Dulcie on purpose.
He told the truth just now, saying that he started dating Dulcie because she resembled Kelly to some extent. Dulcie was just a substitute for her, and she was always the one he loved.
After listening to the voice recording, Kelly sneered. "Do you think you can get away easily after playing with me, Brian? You want to leave me and marry Dulcie, huh? Dream on!" Even if he saw Dulcie as her substitute, she wouldn't allow it.
Dulcie's siblings care so much about her. If they find out that Brian only sees her as a substitute, they will never let her marry into the Zorn Family. Mrs. Zorn looks down on me for having a bad history and thinks I'm no longer worthy of Brian, so she wants him to marry a young girl. Well, you need my permission to do that!
Then, she backed up the voice recording before continuing her journey. She bought several recording pens and transferred her saved recordings onto them. Tomorrow, she would give these recording pens to Dulcie and her siblings—not forgetting Jacqueline—to piss them off.
Her eyes were filled with madness and hatred. I will never let those who wrong me off easily! Just wait and see, Kendall!
Boom! Suddenly, there was a loud clap of thunder, followed by strong winds and lightning. It was going to rain.
Not long after, it started to rain heavily. The strong wind howled, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder, making the night feel terrifying.
In the Taylor Residence, Sophia was awakened by the sound of the thunderstorm and heard a knock at her door. She got up and walked to open it with her nightgown on.
"Mrs. Taylor." A maid was at her door. "It's thundering and windy outside, and it's also raining heavily."
"I'm not deaf; I heard it. You don't need to come and knock on my door just to tell me that!" Sophia snapped, thinking that the maid was knocking on her door just because of the storm.
"Are Brandon and Ethan not back yet?" she asked. Since she had no plans for tonight, she had gone to bed early. However, she was wide awake now.
"No, they aren't. Mr. Mendelson is still outside, Mrs. Taylor. He's been standing outside all day," the maid reminded her.
Stunned, Sophia said, "Hasn't he left yet? I've told him so many times that I don't know where Amy is. Even if he waits until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, my answer will remain the same."
Among the Taylor Family, only she was most vocal about her opposing attitude. Her husband and son were neutral. Although they were not in favor of Amelia marrying Frank, they didn't make it obvious.
Brandon said that their daughter had grown up, so she had her own opinions. Furthermore, this was a matter of love. They should let her decide it herself. As parents, they could only give suggestions, but the final decision was still in Amelia's hands.
