I didn’t want her blessing. Without her blessing, I can still safely give birth to the child.
I turned and walked into the house, hearing the footsteps of Fairy Dixon finally disappear in the garden gate.
I looked down at the invitation in my hand. Because my hands were covered with mud, and the invitation was quite muddy.
The pink invitation looked dirty and lost its original beauty.
I tossed the invitation on the coffee table, and was ready to wash my hands.
Sally was standing at the top of the stairs looking down at her phone. When she saw me coming, she immediately put it in the back pocket of her jeans.
Although Sally worked for Calvin, it was not a company here after all. As long as things were finished, she can do anything.
She often watched dramas and played games in front of me.
So I was suspicious of her behavior.
I went over and reached out my hand to her, “Lend me your phone."
"No, Miss Josephine, I just looked at it casually." Sally shook her head like a rattle.
“Give it to me!” When I put on a straight face, it might have been intimidating. She obediently took the phone out of her back pocket and handed it to me.
She had not turned off the phone, its screen was on.
A photo came into my eyes. It was a picture of Calvin and Fairy Dixon. The title was very clear - Calvin and Fairy Dixon will had a wedding.
I had a preliminary glance over the above information, which was almost the same in the invitation that Fairy Dixon gave me. The wedding was a week later in a most luxurious hotel in the city.
It seemed Fairy Dixon was not bragging. She and Calvin really were to get married.
I gave the phone back to Sally. She looked at me in the eyes with pity and sympathy, as well as fear.
"Miss Josephine...” She wanted to say somehing, and I didn't want to hear anything to comfort me.
I smiled at her and went upstairs.
At noon, Lucy made my favorite boiled meat and pepper chicken. I still had two bowls of rice, drank a bowl of chicken soup. Outwardly, the fact that Calvin and Fairy Dixon were going to get married had not affected my appetite at all.
In the eye of consternations of Lucy and Sally, I again gave my bowl to them, “I still want to eat that fry rice, help me get a bit! I want to soak it in chicken soup.”
Sally took my bowl and walked to the kitchen door, glancing back at me.
She may think that I was turning grief and anger into food. I was not so fragile, and I had not been together with Calvin for long, so I would not be heartbroken and die for him.
Like Mrs. Knight said, I didn't love him. It didn't matter to me who he married.
But I was distressed for not being able to marry into a powerful family.
After lunch, I went back to my room to pack my things. Calvin was getting married, so I had no reason to stay in his villa.
The world always had a place for me. Although I didn't care about the eyes of others, I didn't want anyone to look down on me.
I would not return Fairy Dixon the 20 million, but I would not touch it.
I still had on my hand the hundreds of thousands, which was enough to rent a house and give birth to a child.
Whoever that child was, he had been snuggling with me for months now. I was his mother, and I was going to have to give him birth and raise him well.
It was just a kid. I can live without a man.
