Chapter 82 Could Find a Way to Have a Child
I was taken aback, shaking my head and saying, “No…”
“Don’t lie to me,” she interrupted me, saying, “We’ve been friends for so many years, don’t you think I can’t see what you’re thinking? You like Mr. Hinton, and it’s normal that you don’t want to divorce. However, from a friend’s perspective, I still want to remind you that he still has lingering feelings for Ashley. If you continue to stay by his side, you will still get hurt. Although we’re not sure if the child in Ashley’s belly is his, they did have a past…”
“He never touched Ashley,” I began, looking at Rachel, sharing with her all the things Walter had told me.
After hearing this, Rachel was somewhat surprised, her eyes widened as she said, “Are you saying, Mr. Hinton never even touched Ashley? And he also knew that the child in Ashley’s belly wasn’t his?”
I nodded.
She revealed a look of sudden realization and said, “No wonder that day in the small building, Henry was so sure that the child in Ashley’s belly was his. So that’s how it was.”
After speaking, she expressed some confusion, “Then Ashley’s insistence on staying with the Hinton family is even more suspicious. She’s definitely up to no good, taking advantage of Mr. Hinton’s kindness towards her.”
“Of course I knew that Ashley and Henry were up to no good,” I said, looking at Rachel. “Walter has already arranged for someone to send Ashley abroad. As long as Ashley is sent away and not in the old house, whatever they want to do will be useless.”
“Exactly!” Rachel nodded, her mood significantly improved as she said to me, “That’s great. Once Owen is caught and your situation is clarified, it will shut the Hinton family up. You won’t have to divorce Mr. Hinton, and you can live a good life.”
I pursed my l*ps, couldn’t help but sigh, still feeling a bit melancholic in my heart.
Seeing me sigh, she became impatient, “What kind of reaction is this? Everything is going in a good direction, why are you sighing?”
I felt helpless, looking at her and saying, “Rachel, did you forget about the imaginary child in my stomach? What should we do?”
She was startled, and also remembered this matter, looking at me and saying, “That’s right, what about this child? What would happen if Mr. Hinton knew you deceived him?”
I shook my head, I didn’t know what Walter would do if he found out I had lied to him. But I could imagine, given his current expectations for this child, if he knew I had been deceiving him all along, he might strangle me!
Once Carley figured out what happened five years ago, it shouldn’t be hard to handle. The most important thing now is what to do with this non-existent child in my belly.
The more I thought about it, the more my head ached.
“Got it!” Rachel suddenly spoke, looking at me and saying, “Isn’t it just about having a child, Tabatha? You can have one now too. As long as you get pregnant, it doesn’t matter if you give birth earlier or later, it’s just a matter of delaying for a few months, right? Once you’re pregnant, you can explain the situation to Mr. Hinton. By then, you’ll be carrying his child, and he’ll understand your difficulties and won’t blame you too much, right?”
I was momentarily speechless, not responding to Rachel’s words. Although doing so essentially deceived Walter, after all, we had a child. When the time came to explain, given Walter’s temperament, it might just work!
Rachel’s advice wasn’t without merit. After talking with her, I didn’t go to the Conner Group, but instead went to the Hinton Group.
had just gotten out of the car outside the Hinton Group, and as soon as I arrived in the lobby, I saw Ashley. She was holding a food box, dressed casually, looking like she was here to deliver food.
Although I had been married to Walter for two years, I rarely visited the Hinton Group. After all, my job was not here, and there was no reason for my marital relationship with Walter to bring me here every day.
Ashley seemed to be quite familiar with the receptionist. They chatted about something unknown and laughed heartily, especially the receptionist, who looked at Ashley with visible flattery in her eyes.
Looking at the situation, I hesitated for a moment. I originally came to find Walter, planning to have dinner together outside after he got off work, and then return to Water Villa together in the evening.
Because of the child, I indeed had some thoughts, but I am a person who doesn’t really understand how to be romantic. So, all I could think of was having dinner together, and if possible, taking a walk together, and then going home together.
As I hesitated, a murky voice came from behind, “Tabatha.”
I was taken aback for a moment, turning around to see it was Carley, with Dale following her. Seeing her, I quickly spoke up, “Grandma.”
