Amy wanted to explain to Richard what happened on her wedding night. She was a little traditional and felt both shameful and sorrowful to bring it up. But it had always bothered her greatly.
"Your shameful past? What is it?" Richard was suddenly nervous. He had investigated on Amy’s background. What else could it be that he didn't know?
"Well, here’s the thing. I..." Amy was trying to calm down but when she was about to say it out loud, she was still a little sad.
"On my wedding night, I..." Amy looked pale at this moment. That night was the shame in her entire life.
"Forget it. If you don't want to say it, then don't. Your past is no longer important. What really matters is that you're doing well now." Richard was smart enough to know what Amy was going to say.
So he interrupted Amy and stopped her from continuing.
Anyway, he didn’t know how to explain to her that it was actually he that had sex with her on her wedding night.
Amy looked up at Richard. Back then, her father was ill and needed a lot of money, so she didn’t tell him before they signed the two-year marriage contract.
But it was different now. She was pregnant.
"Mr. Carter, no matter what, I want to tell you that I will never leave my child. Even if we get divorced, I won't want anything but my baby." Amy finally said it aloud. She already started to love Richard and she could imagine how heartbroken she would be when she had to divorce Richard.
But the baby could be her last comfort. She would never leave her baby.
"You think I will take your baby from you?" Richard wondered what was going on and why Amy looked so sad. He didn’t say anything and she already believed that he would separate her from the kid?
"Mr. Carter, can you promise me not to tell the Carters about my pregnancy for now?" Amy believed that if the Carters knew about her pregnancy, they would definitely ask her to return to the Carter’s villa. But it was awkward for her, considering their marriage contract.
"Why not?" Was it embarrassing to be pregnant with his baby? Richard had a feeling that Amy had been so weird since she knew that she was pregnant with his child.
"If your mother knows it, she will definitely ask me to move to the Carter’s villa. Do you think it is a good decision?" Amy was blunt and told him her concerns directly.
Of course Richard did not want Amy to move to the Carter’s villa. His two half-brothers were still living there.
His grandpa had made it clear that the first grandchild, regardless of boy or girl, would be the heir of the Carter family. Although his two brothers went against him, they couldn’t do anything to him. But he did not want to risk Amy and his child.
"That's right. I don't think it's appropriate for you to go back either. You're fine here." Richard nodded. He was going to hire a few professional nutritionists to make sure that Amy ate well during her pregnancy.
Hearing Richard's words, Amy was somehow disappointed. 'See, he didn't plan to let me go back. He didn't want his family to know more about me. Fortunately, I don't want to go back either.'
With that, Richard and Amy fell into silence again.
"Let's go. I'll take you home first. You should have a good rest." Richard broke the silence and supported Amy.
"I can walk on my own." Amy dodged. She didn't want anyone to see her being too close to Richard.
The two fell into silence again. Richard walked ahead, followed by Amy. The two walked out of the hospital one after the other.
