After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire’s Child

17: Chapter 17 Bumped into Each Other, Embracing and Kissing 17: Chapter 17 Bumped into Each Other, Embracing and Kissing Emily didn’t refuse because the conditions Carlos offered were just too generous.

Emily thought about it, then touched her stomach.

Actually, the moment she signed the surgery consent form, she regretted it.

She remembered the last words her mother said before she died, holding her hand.

“Emily, promise mom, take good care of yourself, grow up, marry someone who loves you.

Have a child, do not follow in mom’s old paths, be an ordinary person.”

Marrying someone who loves her was no longer possible.

But having a child and being an ordinary person was still something she could achieve.

Half an hour later, Emily and Carlos walked out from the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Both of them now held a red booklet, a marriage certificate in their hands.

She didn’t know how Carlos managed it, but on this big weekend, they officially became a legal husband and wife.

“Go back and pack up, in the evening, I’ll have Oliver Ross pick you up to meet my mom, and tonight, you’ll move in with me.”

“I don’t want to move.”

Emily thought of the secrets she bore, which must not be exposed in front of Carlos.

“Although ours is a secret marriage to the outside world,

to our families, especially in front of my mom, we are husband and wife, do you think they’ll believe us if we don’t live together?”

Carlos’ face hardened.

He didn’t want to live with Emily.

He didn’t trust Emily.

This woman had drugged him; she clearly was scheming.

But for the sake of the child, he could only endure for a year; only by living together could he keep an eye on Emily, to prevent any other tricks from her.

Having made the decision, Carlos needed to go back to the old house to inform his family about the marriage.

Emily couldn’t out-argue him and had to go home first to get her documentation.

On the driver taking Emily back, she switched on her cellphone to browse the internet.

Oliver Ross was very efficient.

Online, all videos about her and Carlos had been taken down, not even a screenshot was left.

The Carter Clan had also issued a statement clarifying the cinema incident, and several media outlets and marketing accounts had been sued.

When they nearly reached the Parker Family’s house, Emily asked the driver to stop at a nearby intersection of the Parker’s house.

The car’s license plate was too conspicuous, and Emily was afraid of being seen which might lead to bad influences.

She got out of the car, and the driver told her that Oliver Ross would come to pick her up later.

On her way back to the Parker Family’s house, she passed a tar road lined with French plane trees.

As Emily walked along the tar road, reflecting on the day’s events, she saw a couple ahead near the end of the road.

The man was lean and gentle-looking, and the woman was petite and charming.

Suddenly, the woman tiptoed, wrapped her hands around the man’s neck, and kissed him.

Emily stood there, motionless.

She had clearly seen the couple’s faces.

Sophie Parker was kissing Adam Willow, and Adam did not push her away.

It felt like a century had passed.

“Emily…”

Adam, realizing someone was watching, hurriedly pushed Sophie away, and when he recognized that it was Emily, panic showed on his face for the first time.

He wanted to say something, but his words seemed so pale and powerless as Sophie’s lipstick was still visible on his lips, glaringly evident.

“Sister, Adam and I are together now.

You’ll bless us, right?”

Sophie had timed it well, knowing that Emily would probably be returning soon.

She came to pick up Adam and deliberately walked him here.

As Emily approached, Sophie glimpsed Emily with the corner of her eye, and she passionately kissed Adam.

Emily indeed saw it!

Sophie was smug with herself.

“Bless you?

Fine, I bless you.”

Emily let out a hollow laugh as she walked toward them.
