A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1165

That baby was what Rowena was most concerned about. She hadn't actually laid eyes on Tanya yet. But based on what Yulisa was saying, it was highly likely the pregnancy hadn't been terminated! A manipulative gold-digger like that wouldn't just give up her golden ticket...

Panic began to set in for Rowena. She needed to go confirm it for herself.

"I didn't get a good look," Yulisa admitted. The mention of the baby made her turn pale. She hadn't even thought about the pregnancy during her confrontation, so she hadn't bothered to check Tanya's stomach. Was Darian being so resolute today because Tanya was still carrying his child?

If that were true...

"No, I need to go see for myself if she's still pregnant," Rowena gritted her teeth. It would be best if she wasn't. If that baby was still in the picture, they were going to have a massive problem on their hands.

Yulisa looked at her. "And if she is..."

"Don't worry, I'll handle it," Rowena stated coldly. She sounded completely ruthless. She had no intention of compromising when it came to Tanya. Even if the girl was still pregnant, Rowena would find a way to eliminate the issue. Patrick and Eleanor wouldn't allow it either! The Lynn family despised women who tried to use pregnancy to secure a marriage.

Yulisa's face was ashen.

Rowena patted her hand affectionately. "Don't stress over it. I'll get to the bottom of this."

"Darian doesn't even like me. I..."

"Enough!" Rowena cut her off sharply. She was entirely too irritated to deal with Yulisa's insecurities right now. Her mind was solely focused on whether or not Tanya was still pregnant! Because if she was, they were in for a serious battle.

...

Darian returned to the villa to find Tanya having dinner. He walked over and sat beside her. She ignored him completely, continuing to eat her meal.

He got straight to the point. "What did she say to you?"

"But honestly, in my heart, she's nothing more than an acquaintance at this point."

"You're getting married. The Lynn family is already planning the wedding."

Sure, there was 'nothing' between them. But right now, all the elders believed they belonged together and were determined to make it happen. A massive headache formed at the mention of the wedding.

"I'm not marrying her."

It didn't matter what his family wanted; he refused to comply. The fact that invitations were currently being sent out only worsened his headache.

"When your entire family's reputation is on the line, will you still be able to say no so confidently?"

By now, the news of his impending marriage to Yulisa had likely spread across all of Marina City.
