After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 263 - 257 Everyone Couldn’t Stand It_2

Just as he was about to turn and take a step, Rainny White, who had been lying weakly on the hospital bed, suddenly found the strength from somewhere and excitedly jumped up from the bed.

Her eyes sparkled with intense emotion as she quickly stepped forward, wrapping her arms tightly around Carlos’s waist from behind.

Rainny White nestled her face intimately against Carlos’s broad back, feeling the warmth emanating from his body.

Her heart was pounding violently, as if it were about to leap out of her chest. Even through the clothes, she could clearly feel her panicked heartbeat.

"Brother Carter, I like you."

With a flushed face, Rainny White mustered the courage to speak the words she had kept hidden deep in her heart.

Her voice trembled slightly, tinged with nervousness.

Carlos’s body instantly stiffened, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

His muscles tensed, and almost immediately, he forcefully freed himself from Rainny White’s embrace.

He turned around, frowning slightly, with a complex expression on his face, a mix of surprise and helplessness.

"Rainny, I am already married.

Emily Parker is my wife, and she is having our child."

Carlos frowned slightly, his gaze carrying a hint of helplessness and seriousness.

At this moment, he regretted his initial decision to keep the marriage a secret. If he had clarified earlier, Rainny White wouldn’t be so confused now.

A flicker of panic appeared in Rainny White’s eyes but quickly turned into determination.

Her innocent, doe-like eyes were filled with longing as she stared straight at Carlos and said,

"I know.

I also know that you married Emily Parker because of the child. There is no love between you two.

Brother Carter, I don’t mind that you’re married. I can wait for you to divorce her."

Her voice trembled slightly. She unconsciously clenched her hands into fists, as if trying to cheer herself on.

The mention of "divorce" made Carlos’s face darken instantly, filled with a vague sense of irritation.

He took a step back and said sternly,

"Do you know what you’re saying?

A good girl shouldn’t be a mistress."

Rainny White bit her lip, her eyes reddening, tears welling up but stubbornly refusing to fall.

"Brother Carter, how can I be the mistress?

Obviously, I knew you first. Emily is the mistress, as she’s the one who intruded into the relationship between you and me."

She looked at Carlos, her eyes full of grievance.

"When it comes to love, there’s no first come, first served.

Besides, I will not get a divorce."

Carlos said firmly, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

He admitted that when he first married Emily, it was out of necessity, to give the child legitimacy.

But in the past few months, spending time with Emily had changed his mind. He had unknowingly developed feelings for her.

Carlos had already made up his mind that when he returned to the villa, he would tell Emily that the secret marriage would end here.

He wanted to publicly announce their marriage to everyone, and also plan a grand wedding to make up for the grievances she’s endured.

As for his grandmother and Evan Palmer, Carlos no longer cared.

After all, he had already been kicked out of the board, and neither his grandmother nor Evan Palmer had any leverage over him anymore.

In his view, those so-called family interests and power struggles were less important than Emily and their unborn child.

As for the Carter Clan, a hint of indifference flashed in his eyes as he quietly calculated how he would protect it in his own way.

Rainny White didn’t even notice when Carlos left.

Upon hearing his resolute words, she felt as if struck by lightning, her whole body instantly freezing.

Immediately, she felt as if all her strength had been drained by an invisible force. Her legs weakened, and she collapsed onto the bed.

Covering her face with her hands, her shoulders shook slightly as tears flowed uncontrollably through her fingers. She knew that she had truly and completely lost Brother Carter.

A surge of unwillingness swept over her like a tide. She kept thinking to herself, why is it that she met Brother Carter earlier, has a better education than Emily, is younger than Emily, yet he just doesn’t like her?

At this moment, Rainny White was lost and dejected, staring blankly ahead. freewēbnoveℓ.com

It wasn’t until her phone rang suddenly that she seemed to be pulled back to reality, and she numbly reached out to pick up the phone.

"Little Sophie, what should I do?"

Upon hearing Sophie Parker’s voice, Rainny White seemed to grasp at a lifeline, her emotions breaking through as she choked up and recounted everything that had happened.

On the other end of the call, Sophie Parker coldly sneered to herself, thinking that Emily, the shameless vixen, was only able to tie Carlos down because she was pregnant.

In dreams, Carlos didn’t hesitate to defy Mrs. Carter for Lily White’s sake and elope for love.

Could everything change because of Emily?

No way. Emily is such a boring woman, how could she possibly attract Carlos?

She spoke to comfort Rainny White,

"Carlos said he wouldn’t divorce her?

He’s doing it out of necessity; it must be because of the child.

You don’t know how cunning Emily is; she managed to win over Mrs. Carter and Old Master Carter, transferring the shares originally belonging to Carlos into her own name.

If Carlos leaves now, she and the child will be left with nothing."

After pausing, she continued,

"Rainny, don’t cry. The reason Carlos doesn’t want a divorce is definitely because of the baby in Emily’s belly; otherwise, with his past character, how could he ever have liked Emily?

Listen to me, as long as you conceive Carlos’s child, he’ll definitely divorce Emily for you and the baby."
