The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1767

"What... What do you mean? Protect myself?" Holley said awkwardly, her voice faltering.

"Aren't you pregnant? Isn't that a way for you to protect yourself?" Ferry said sarcastically.

Holley couldn't help but feel frightened. She didn't answer and just waited for Ferry to continue.

"Getting pregnant is a big deal. You have to look after yourself and make sure that the baby is safe. Do you understand that?" Ferry's voice was dripping with sarcasm.

She looked at her cell phone in disbelief. She moved it away from her ear for a second then put it back to confirm that all this was real. Holley took a deep breath.

How come Ferry knew that she was pregnant? And why was his tone so strange?

How could the cold-blooded and merciless Ferry say something like that?

If Ferry knew that she was only pretending to be pregnant, he would definitely expose her. Why did it now seem like he was on her side?

It sounded a lot like Ferry knew she wasn't pregnant, and he was only playing with her, but why wasn't he exposing her?

Holley didn't know what on earth had happened but just hoped that this wasn't one of Ferry's schemes.

Since Holley hadn't said anything for a while, Ferry continued, "Don't worry. I won't force you to marry Jason anymore. Just relax, take care of yourself, and protect the baby."

Ferry's tone suddenly became soft—something Holley had never heard before.

She still couldn't make herself believe that Ferry was worried about her.

"Are you serious? I don't need to marry Jason anymore?" Holley asked hesitantly.

Ferry sneered upon hearing this. "Do you think I'll really joke with you like that? Or do you still want to marry Jason?"

Holley didn't have the courage to retort to Ferry. Instead, she just nodded. "I didn't mean that. I just... I..."

She hadn't expected that Ferry would call, so she didn't know what to say.

"You dated me for so long. Now that you're going to get your happy ending, I'm so happy for you," Ferry said warmheartedly.

Only upon hearing this was Holley sure that Ferry was up to something. He had never spoken to her like this, and she knew for a fact that he would never speak to her like this unless it was part of some plan. That was the only possible explanation.

He was probably hiding under the guise of being mysterious as he planned to punish Holley.

As Holley thought of this, she trembled in fear, unable to control herself. Suddenly, she couldn't feel her hands and felt as if she was losing her grip on her cell phone.

"I was wrong. I'll do whatever you want." Holley immediately apologized to Ferry. She knew that he'd seen right through her. She just couldn't figure out why he wouldn't come out and say it. Still, she hoped and prayed with all her might that Ferry would let her go.

Ferry drummed on the table with his fingers, disdain in his eyes. After a pause, he answered, "You worry too much. Why would I hurt you? You're valuable now because the Hu Family will cherish you and protect you."

However, she still couldn't shake off the feeling that Ferry was just saying this and in fact, knew the truth. She only hoped that Ferry would let her go.
