She quietly looked into his eyes, and his deep, inscrutable eyes were somewhat weary at the moment. She could see that Euan did not like to deal with this crap, or maybe he did not like to be caught between the two to make a choice.
So he probably wouldn’t have to deal with this kind of trouble if she left.
Euan looked down at her, "I'll take care of this. You don't have to rush to know the answer. Now is not the time."
"And when, may I ask you, is the time? When Lydia gives birth to your child and you walk straight to the wedding hall with the newborn in your arms? Is that the time?"
It hurt!
She only slightly imagined in her mind that someday in the future they were going to walk down the aisle together, exchange wedding rings, and hold a baby that belonged to them ...
Just the thought of it made Riley's heart ache so much that she couldn't breathe.
Euan frowned, "No. Anyway, you should not be in a hurry right now. I'll take care of it."
Euan was strange today. He spoke with such a low posture, almost as if he was discussing something with her, which made Riley feel even more frantic inside. What the hell did he mean?
She was afraid she had made a fool of herself.
She was also afraid that she would miss him.
"Euan ... Lydia is pregnant with your child. She is the daughter-in-law your mother has recognized. No ... what matters is the weight she carries in your heart. In view of this, you should marry her. Your child cannot be without a father, and she needs you."
What she feared more was that she would spend her youth in vain on him again, three years, thirty years ...
So, "For the good of all three of us, why don't we just get a divorce?"
She spoke softly but firmly, with a calm analysis of objective facts.
"Just give up. I will not divorce!"
Euan finished the sentence coldly. Before he got angry and tried to strangle her, she lifted her long legs and left the foyer.
"Come back! You don't go to the hospital today!"
Fine, then she didn’t go.
He wouldn't let her go to the hospital, but he took a phone call after breakfast and left.
As soon as Euan left, the mood in the house changed.
Riley sat in the living room on the large sofa reading a medical book while Lydia walked towards her, holding a fashion magazine in her hand.
"What's the use of studying at home if you're not as skilled as others? Why don't you just stop being a doctor? You'll get a nice pension after you divorce Euan anyway, which is enough for you to spend for the rest of your life. Why do you need to go to the hospital and get others killed!"
Lydia crossed her legs and said in a sarcastic tone.
Riley did not even look at her, "Lydia, before you officially become the George family's daughter-in-law, calm down. I'm afraid if you go too far, Euan will kick you to death."
"Oh, thank you so much for your concern! Not coincidentally, Euan even told me in bed last night that I should not feel restrained here in the future and just make it my own home. How do you think I should interpret ‘my own home’ ...?"
Riley turned a deaf ear to Lydia's wanton bragging, "He's probably reminding you not to paint your face like that when you're at home!"
"You! Oh, you're jealous, aren't you? Even if I don't wear makeup, I still look better than you!"
Riley looked at her lazily, "Of course. You were born with foxy looks. I'm no match for you."
Lydia knew she was no match for her when it came to arguing. So she quickly flipped through the magazine and found a page where a European star was advertising the latest luxury product.
"Riley, how about this necklace? The Jamp;K anniversary model. There are only ten sets in the world. Priced but not marketable. But Euan has already pre-ordered. On what occasion, do you think, would he give it to me?"
Riley saw the jewelry from the corner of her eye. This was a masterpiece, which cost a lot of money and sold for a staggering price.
Euan had always spent a lot of money on gifts for Lydia. She was used to it.
She just couldn't get rid of the pain in her heart.
"Congratulations. Looks like your sleeping with him last night was a success!"
"Oh, stop making a last desperate stand. Riley, I've got Euan's mother's approval and even more Euan's favor. You'll be out of the George family sooner or later!"
Damn it!
Riley was furious. She was going to leave the George family, but when Lydia said that, she was so angry that she couldn't stand it!
Even if she left, she wouldn't leave as a castaway!
At that moment, Riley's phone rang.
"Honey, you're not going to spend the weekend at home, are you? Come out, I've got something fun here. I promise you'll like it!"
"Something fun? No way. Last time I almost ..." Glancing at Lydia, she didn't say any more, "What are you up to this time?"
"Gee, don't ask too many questions. Just dress simply and decently. You'd better bring a change of underwear with you. Let's stay here tonight."
"What place?"
"Here's the address! Hurry up and come over!"
Hanging up the phone, Riley got up and went to change her clothes.
"Where are you going to play again?"
Riley sneered, "You're pregnant. You want to join me? Sorry, you're not welcome."
Changing into simple, decent early summer pants and a shirt, Riley brought another change of clothes. It was so nice that she could not come back tonight!
Sophia walked her out the door, "Mrs. George, you're in such a good mood. You must be going somewhere really fun?"
She said casually, "HG Manor, a themed leisure center. I won't be back tonight."
HG Manor.
"You're fast! Well ... you look good in that outfit, and it is refreshing to look at. Let's go!"
