She Was Never Just a Pretty Face novel Chapter 225

There was no other choice.

A driver navigated the car back to Alpha City.

Landon and Annie were brought back together.

Perhaps out of consideration for the children, Luther didn't try anything in the car. He even held Landon and gave him a kiss. The nearly eighteen-month-old toddler was adorable, breaking into a bright, carefree smile, completely oblivious to the tension.

Hilda sat there in total silence.

She didn't speak a single word.

Luther turned his head and spoke to her softly.

"We have a son now."

"But I still want to have another baby."

"A boy or a girl, it doesn't matter."

"Let's change Landon's name back, alright? Landon Sanford."

The car sped down the highway. The scenery outside flashed by like lightning.

Just like their marriage. Just like Hilda's life. Constantly being forced to stop where she never intended.

Mechanically, she said yes.

After answering, her expression went completely blank.

She knew exactly what awaited her.

She looked up at Luther and offered a hollow, shallow smile.

Luther dropped Hilda and the children off at the Silverlake Villa first.

Once they were settled, he took turns holding the kids before looking up at Hilda, his eyes dark and heavy. "I need to run to the main estate."

Hilda didn't know why, and she didn't care to ask.

To call her and Luther a married couple was a joke; they were enemies trapped together.

She knew she couldn't escape.

Once a person had a weakness, they could be controlled.

Luther stared at her for a long time before finally getting back into the car and leaving.

Once he was gone, Wilma approached cautiously. "Would you like me to serve dinner, Madam? This morning, Mr. Sanford asked the chef to prepare several of your and the little miss's favorite dishes. Master Landon's baby food is ready, too."

Hilda had no appetite.

But she didn't want her mood to affect the children.

She forced a smile.
