Chapter 814
Knowing he was waiting downstairs at her place, she had no choice but to drive back home.
After tossing her car in the underground parking, she walked out to meet him.
"Decided to come clean with me, finally?"
Merritt, however, dodged the question, "Sis, would you leave Vista Town with me?"
...
Dailey returned to the Ferguson Mansion.
Upon entering, he found the living room crowded with family members, except for Nelly.
His family and what seemed to be a doctor were discussing something. "What's going on?"
Dr. Smith explained, "Young master, it's been a shaky month. Ms. Lindsay spotting is due to the stress of wedding dress trials. The baby's fine, but she needs to rest. Your wedding with Ms. Lindsay should be postponed a bit. Waiting until Ms. Lindsay is three months along would be safest."
"Given Ms. Lindsay's health, if she loses this baby, it might become difficult for her to conceive again."
Dailey's first thought was whether Nelly was testing his commitment.
He had suggested trying on the wedding dress, but with the pregnancy being unstable at one month, something Dr. Smith had mentioned before, she would have been more careful if she cared about this child.
But from her current behavior, it seemed like she preferred to terminate the pregnancy.
However, the consequences of losing the ability to become a mother weren't lighter than keeping the child to prove his paternity.
If waiting for her to stabilize was the plan, they could perform a DNA test by then, making the marriage unnecessary.
Now, he had two paths to choose from.
"Understood."
This was no longer Dr. Smith's concern, so he returned to his place.
Jayne told Dailey, "The child is what matters."
Dailey hummed in agreement, turned, and went upstairs to call Gregory.
After hearing everything, Gregory paused, then analyzed, "This child probably isn't yours. You could wait and see if she tries to deal with it." "Stay more at the Ferguson Mansion, keep an eye on her."
"Best to corner her."
Dailey just hummed in response.
Gregory didn't mind his attitude; he was always like that, cool and distant.
Especially since Gregory's advice had led to his breakup with Christine.
"Try putting yourself in her shoes."
"If your relationship can withstand this test, even if you're broken up now, you'll end up together."
"Jane and I went through a lot too, you know that."
Dailey didn't respond, just said, "Hanging up."
Gregory looked at the disconnected call and massaged his temples.
Turning to Jane, "Dailey's really pissed at me this time."
Jane received a message from Christine.
She said she needed to leave the state for a while and hoped Gregory keep Dailey from tracking her
down.
Looking at Gregory, Jane asked, "What are you planning to do?"
Gregory was clear.
To everyone, Dailey seemed indifferent to everything, living like a monk, devoid of desires.
But this time, he was truly invested in Christine.
Even he didn't understand why Dailey had changed his attitude so drastically towards Christine, but breaking up during the honeymoon phase was hard.
If he suppressed Christine's message, Dailey would definitely lose it.
"Honey, can we just let things take their course?"
Jane asked, "What do you mean?"
Gregory wrapped his arms around
her, "Right now, Dailey's caught up with the situation at the Ferguson Mansion, thinking about Nelly's child. This gives Christine a chance to leave Vista Town."
"All I'm saying is, when Dailey asks for my help later, I won't put my heart into it."
Jane couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "Mr. Ford, you're so wicked."
Gregory leaned closer, his voice husky in her ear.
"Let me show you something even more wicked."
