Chapter 255 Secretly Giving Birth (Extra)
Evelyn thought that Alyssa’s dad was different from Louis’ dad in terms of the joy they brought.
She added, “After all, they have the same mother; both the brother and sister resemble you.”
Deborah could tell that Evelyn was a bit indecisive, which is why she changed the subject to talk about Alyssa and Louis’ situation.
She walked to the living room and sat on the couch. Evelyn was carrying Louis in her arms. As she engaged in playful interaction with him, she took a seat beside Deborah.
Louis was already over five months old. Now that it was winter and the temperature was low, if he fell asleep outside, he would be wrapped in swaddling clothes.
But now, he was wide awake, held upright by Evelyn, his round eyes especially alert as
he looked around at this unfamiliar environment.
The little one was dancing around, extremely excited, and babbling away, not knowing
what they were saying.
Evelyn coaxed him, “Louis, call me Aunt Evelyn. Aunt. Evelyn.”
Curiously, Louis stared at her as she spoke, and before long, he began nibbling on her
hand affectionately.
Evelyn looked at the child with growing fondness, “I’ve wanted to hold him like this for
a long time. You have no idea, back at Moxley Manor, I didn’t even dare to hold him.”
Deborah laughed and said, “What’s there to be afraid of? If you speak up, I’m sure my parents and brother won’t fight with you over it.”
Although everyone in the Moxley family liked Louis, they all eagerly wanted to hold
him.
Everyone treats Evelyn as the daughter-in-law of the Moxley family. They are afraid that she might feel wronged if she lives with her in-laws, so they have always been
particularly accommodating to her.
Evelyn sighed, “Every time I hold a baby, Mrs. Moxley and Old Mrs. Moxley always say
that I love children and should have one with Adrian. But…”
Her voice halted, and she didn’t continue speaking.
She and Adrian are not in a relationship where they can have children.
But now, it’s finally here.
Louis was held by Evelyn for a while before he began to wave his little hands, reaching out toward Deborah.
Deborah reached out, taking him by the arm, her expression puzzled. “I didn’t expect you to be so patient. Your issue with me and Adrian, that happened several months ago, right?
He treated you like that, but you didn’t confront him right away. I can’t believe you put up with him for so long.”
Deborah still remembers when Simone was abused by Damian and fought for a divorce.
Evelyn was exceptionally filled with outrage. Not only did she help with the divorce
litigation, but she also wished she could personally act as Simone’s attorney.
Her temperament has never been one to swallow her pride and let things go easily.
Just like Mona, everything must be dealt with fairly.
Evelyn was silent for quite a while before she finally responded, “Deborah, how do 1
deal with Adrian?”
Deborah paused for a moment and said, “Of course, you can do whatever you want. You
can scold him, beat him, or even sue him directly. You’re in the right, so where can he
run?”
Evelyn asked casually, “So, back then, why didn’t you sue Ashton?”
Wit
Without hesitation, Deborah replied, “It was different for me back then. I couldn’t beat
him, and even with all the evidence in my hands, no one would believe me. Filing a
lawsuit was useless, as I couldn’t even find a defense attorney.”
t
At that time, with Ashton’s capabilities, not to mention the entire Richmond, but the
whole country.
Which lawyer dared to represent Deborah in a lawsuit against Ashton?
None.
She tried at first, but later the facts proved that there wasn’t even a single lawyer willing to meet with her.
Evelyn was very composed. There were times when she could be impulsive and carefree, but when she truly calmed down, she could see things more clearly than most people.
“Deborah, I’m just like you were back then. There’s no way a lawyer would take my case and go up against your family.
As for the public, I said I got drunk and ended up in Adrian’s bed, and then he touched me. Who would believe me? Others might even say that I took advantage and then tried. to blame him.”
Ever since that night, she had been pondering over this question.
At first, she was impulsive and furious, even wanting to confront Adrian and fight him.
Before that, she had acted alongside Adrian, and she couldn’t deny that she had indeed developed feelings for him.
His external conditions were top-notch, and when he was with her, although he liked to take advantage verbally, he actually had good manners and always took care of her.
But that night, all that was left for her afterwards were humiliation and anger.
There was no choice but to suffer in silence. If she spoke up, not a single person would
stand up for her, except for Deborah.
She could make a fuss, but it wouldn’t have much of an impact on Adrian.
Instead, it would cause great harm to her own family and the Moore family.
Deborah said defiantly, “Go ahead and confront Adrian if you want, do whatever you
think is best.
Don’t say things like that. My parents and Grandma would never be able to protect him. Even if they did, Joseph and I would find a way to help you get your revenge.”
She used to think that Adrian and Evelyn were quite a good match.
Now knowing that he actually took advantage of people’s vulnerability, Deborah
couldn’t help but feel that she had completely misjudged him.
Evelyn didn’t want to say more, so she stood up with a smile, “Alright, alright, why the serious face?
That’s all in the past, and I’ve long stopped caring about it. Even without this child, I’ll still be able to live my life as usual.”
After much difficulty, Deborah finally connected with the Moxley family, gaining a loving family and a happy, fulfilling life of her own.
At this point, it wasn’t worth it to have a falling out with the Moxley family and her own brother Adrian over Evelyn’s matters.
Over the years, Evelyn has watched Deborah go through life, knowing how difficult it
has been for her and Joseph to come this far.
She finally had a perfect ending to her journey, and she couldn’t afford any more twists
and turns.
Evelyn went straight to the kitchen and continued speaking, “I’m hungry since it’s so late. I’ll cook, and you can come over here for dinner tonight.”
Deborah, holding Louis, got up and followed to the kitchen door.
She looked at Evelyn’s retreating figure and said, “Child, have you really thought it through? Are you sure you don’t want it? If not, I can connect you with the best gynecologist.”
Evelyn opened the refrigerator, took out some vegetables, and paused upon hearing
something.
Upon seeing it, Deborah immediately understood.
She calmly continued, “However, I remember you mentioned before that you didn’t
want to get married, but you wanted to have a child. Abortion can be harmful to your body; have you considered keeping the baby?”
Evelyn indeed reacted, turning around to glance at her. “Even if I think that way, when
the child is born, can it be mine?”
