Chapter 734
“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 he loves. Felipe’s worried that I’ll fall deeper and deeper into the mud, so he asked me to stop liking him.”
Madeline looked at Cathy as if she was in deep thought. “But it seems that you’re currently carrying his child?”
“…” Cathy’s expression changed as she looked around nervously. When she saw that the bodyguards and maids were not around, she 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 him 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 he had a lot of sides that she had not seen before.
When Cathy saw that Madeline was pondering about something, she asked nervously, “Evie, Evie? You won’t tell him, right?”
Madeline shook her 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 her past self on Cathy’s face. She used to be so dumb and stupid.
Cathy smiled and touched her stomach. “When that day comes, I’ll find an excuse to leave this place. I won’t let him 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 she saw the happy smile on Cathy’s face. She felt a sudden ache in her heart as tears started welling up in her eyes.
For a woman, not only was a child a link between her and her man, but it was also one of the reasons for her to continue living.
Actually, Felipe knew about Madeline’s presence in his study the moment she went in.
He had also arranged for Cathy’s appearance.
As he had been in a hurry last night, there were some things in the study that he could not let Madeline see. That was why he needed to stop her from digging through his documents.
