Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 352

Everything happened so suddenly that Kris wasn’t sure how to react. She was carrying Hayden’s child, but she didn’t expect her pregnancy to be revealed during the banquet at Walton Residence. Not only was it revealed, but the Waltons also uncovered the fact that the baby didn’t belong to the Waltons.

At that time, she didn’t want to remain conscious, so she pretended that she had fainted. She was also scared of waking up, as she couldn’t face Gideon and Shelly’s wrath. It wasn’t until Hayden rushed her to the hospital that she acted as if she had just regained consciousness.

Miraculously, the baby she carried was still intact. However, she would prefer that she had a miscarriage, for nobody would be able to prove who the father was in that case. Without proof, she could easily insist that the baby belonged to the Waltons, which meant she could still salvage her relationship with Gideon, as well as help advance the Starks’ Green Palms Project.

And now, the doctor informed her that the baby she carried was a little more than two months old, which was what she had expected, but still, she felt as if it was the end of the world. “Mom…” She couldn’t move her body, as her lower body hurt whenever she did. Soon, tears stained her cheeks.

“Did this man bully you? Tell me! Did he force himself on you? I will make sure justice is served! I will go explain things to the Waltons!” Rachel kept on giving Kris a look. For now, they had to blame everything on Hayden, because the most important thing to do was to protect Kris’ dignity.

Upon hearing what Rachel said, Hayden wore a grim look on his face. “Mrs. Stark, you’re being a little too mean. The love between Kris and I is true. She told me she is only faking an engagement with Gideon, so it will only be temporary. Now, she will no longer need to be tied down to that fake relationship. She already has my baby, so I will take care of her. In a few days, I will propose a marriage with your family.”

“A marriage proposal? You?! Don’t you even think about it! You’re the one who got my daughter into this mess! You rapist! The baby she carries doesn’t belong to you! It belongs to Gideon! I will never allow my daughter to marry you! I will sue you!” Rachel’s whole body was trembling with rage.

“Sue me? Haha…” Hayden assumed that it was because of Rachel and Cameron that Kris had to get engaged with Gideon. As soon as he heard Rachel was going to sue him, his face contorted slightly with anger. “Kris and I have feelings for each other! On the contrary, how dare you, as her parents, use her as a chess piece to help solve Stark Group’s financial deficit? She will be under my care from now on, so you can leave now! I can also guarantee that the baby she carries is mine! I’ve already replaced those contraceptive pills with vitamins, so we never took any contraceptive measures to begin with!”

Hayden didn’t think Kris would lie to him about her relationship with Gideon. On the other hand, because he was the one who replaced the contraceptive pills with vitamins, he knew she would get pregnant, and that the baby must be his.

“You—” This time, not only Rachel, but even Kris, was staring at Hayden in disbelief. Kris never expected that the most loving man she ever knew—the man who bought her contraceptives—was the most conniving of all. He didn’t even give her any contraceptives. Instead, he was deceiving her so that she would be pregnant with his baby!

“Hayden, you—” Kris was feeling both frustrated and anxious. So he is the culprit! If it weren’t for him, my pregnancy wouldn’t have been discovered by the Waltons!

“Kris, don’t worry. I will marry you after you cut all ties with the Waltons. From now on, we will be together…” When Hayden looked at her, his gaze was as gentle as could be. However, she could detect a hint of obsession and madness in his gaze.
