Was it possible that Yuna didn't want this child?

If it was necessary, she was willing to admit that she had returned to Rowdy just for revenge. Also, she was willing to stay and bring the child in her belly into this world.

However, Dr. Liu and the professor had made it so clear. They had made any mistakes in their diagnosis. She and the child had no chance.

Wesley thought that Yuna was hesitating to answer him, and he grew furious.

Why would Yuna hesitate to give birth to their child?

Wesley grabbed Yuna's wrist, stared at her, and slowly warned her, "Yuna, the child is mine. I want it. You must give birth to this child! As for returning to the Kent family, don't think about it anymore. You won't have the chance to leave me again!"

He looked as dark as the night sky.

Yuna opened her mouth but did not say anything. She suddenly burst into tears.

She couldn't help crying. Tears gushed from her eyes and her voice was full of deep sadness.

Wesley was taken aback, and his anger gradually dissipated as he watched Yuna's tears fall.

The impression he'd always had of Yuna was that she was unable to cry. If ever she encountered a problem, she would roll up her sleeves and solve it by force.

For example, once when she'd been with him, and Samantha had sent some people to scare Granny Wallace, she'd driven the car to hospital and sorted everyone out that night.

Cry?

Yuna had always told herself that tears were useless. Every drop of tears was a waste of time, and wasting time was like slowly killing yourself.

Right now, she seemed to have forgotten all that and was crying her eyes out.

The last feelings of anger in Wesley's heart were extinguished. Instead, he felt his body tingling with emotion.

Yuna was like a little deer that was hard to tame, and seeing her like this his heart softened.

"Wesley... Wesley..."

Yuna looked at Wesley, crying and calling his name. Every call was full of despair, just like the whimper of a dying little beast.

A pain in Wesley's heart suddenly grew sharp.

He released Yuna's wrist, hesitated for a moment, and then gently took her into his arms.

Yuna did not resist. She buried her head in Wesley's chest and let herself cry hard.

She couldn't tell Wesley that she'd rather him not allow her to be pregnant with his child.

Yuna had never cried so sadly. Wesley gradually realized that something was wrong. When he was about to let go of Yuna and ask her why she was crying, he remembered what Chris had said.

A few days ago, when he'd got together with Brian and the others, Chris had casually mentioned Freya. He had said, with a bitter smile, that ever since Freya had got pregnant, her hobbies and her mood had been very changeable, and that when she felt confident, she looked like a queen, but when she felt wronged, she acted like a child."

In the end, Chris had specifically emphasized that most pregnant women do the same.

Wesley had suddenly asked, out of the blue, "What are you going to do about it?"

Chris had helplessly spread his hands, but there was a hint of happiness in his tone that could not be concealed. "She is my wife. What else can I do except for spoil her and keep her happy? Anyway, it just lasts ten months. She will be fine after the baby is born."

"Maybe the fact that Yuna is moody has something to do with her pregnancy?"

"To spoil her and keep her happy? Chris's approach is not bad."

The hard shell of Wesley's heart had been stripped bare. He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Yuna's face.

Yuna was stunned. She looked up at Wesley, and her tears slowly stopped.

Wesley put down his hand and said, "Even if you really don't know that Rowdy is the one who killed your grandma, or you don't want to believe it, it doesn't matter. I'll prove it to you."

"..."

Wesley went on to say, "After I get the evidence, it won't matter whether you admit or deny that you went back to work undercover. I just want you to stay and give birth to this child."

"..."

"I know why you still want to go back." Wesley looked at Yuna and said, "You don't want to give up because you haven't got any valuable clues yet. But have you ever thought how Rowdy will treat you once he finds out your intentions?"

"..." Of course, Yuna had thought about that. She also knew that according to Rowdy's means, she would definitely be tortured so hard that she'd wish for her own death.

However, was she the first person that Wesley would care about?

What about the child?

"Even if you're not afraid, how can you not think about the child?" Wesley asked. "Are you going to put a several-week-old fetus at risk too? Would your grandma be happy if you did this?"

At the mention of the child, Yuna burst into tears again. It was a heartbreaking matter for her.

Wesley frowned and wiped away Yuna's tears with his hands. He didn't expect it but that the more he wiped, the more tears she shed. What was even more unexpected was that he was patient enough to continue doing it.

Normally, he would have shouted at Yuna and ordered her not to cry anymore.

"Wesley, don't talk about the baby anymore..." Yuna looked at Wesley with tears in her eyes. It was unclear whether she was begging or commanding him.

"It's my baby. Why can't I talk about it?!" Wesley replied unhappily. Seeing tears welling up in her eyes again, he gently continued, "I promise you."

Yuna wiped her face, and removed the tear stains. Her eyes were red and swollen, which made her look particularly pitiful.

Wesley's voice softened, "Yuna, you have to promise me one thing."

Yuna knew that Wesley wasn't an obedient person, so she asked softly, "What is it?"

"I want you to give up your mission for revenge on Rowdy." Wesley said, "No matter why you don't want to admit that you know the truth, now I just want you to know that Brian and I won't let go of Rowdy. Yuna, you don't have to do it by yourself. I'll avenge your grandma for you."

"Brian?"

Yuna suddenly remembered that not long after returning to Arlington, Rowdy had had dealings with Brian, and had even used her to steal some documents from Wesley, which caused a great crisis to Lambert Group. In this way, he could force Joanne to divorce Brian.

Fortunately, Brian hadn't signed the divorce agreement.

Yuna did not know that Rowdy wanted the documents to threaten Joanne, so she angrily asked Rowdy why he'd planned to deal with Lambert Group.

Rowdy just said that he was interested in Joanne.

Now it seemed that things were not so simple.

Yuna couldn't help asking, "Is there any grievance between Brian and Rowdy?"

"Rowdy didn't tell you?" Wesley sneered. "Well, how dare he tell you?"

Yuna grew more confident in her speculation and asked, "What do you mean?"

After a while, Wesley said carefully, "Fifteen years ago, Rowdy deliberately murdered Brian's father. Do you think Brian will let him go?"

Fifteen years ago, the Kent family's status in Arlington had been similar to that of the Hayes Family in Glasgow.

The difference was that in order to make money, the Kent family had committed all kinds of crimes and had gone against the police in public. The police had investigated overtly but couldn't find any evidence. So they'd sent undercover people to infiltrate the Kent family from the inside, but every undercover person eventually died an unnatural death.

At that time, the police and the citizens of Arlington all hated the Kent family as the local villains, but they couldn't do anything to them.

Later, the police had finally got evidence of Peter's crimes, (Rowdy's father), but his lawyer group had called black white so that the police could not convict Peter for a long time.

As a last resort, the police had gone to find Brian's father, who was the most authoritative lawyer at that time.

With the help of Brian's father, Peter was convicted of crimes and then was sentenced to death.

After that, the Kent family were in a mess. Larry fled abroad to guard the last base of the Kent family along with his close subordinates, and Rowdy was the only one who stayed in Arlington.

At that time, Rowdy was just a young man in his early twenties, and no one was on guard against him.

However, the day before Brian was ready to go for an outing with his father, Rowdy had set up a car accident, where Brian's father was killed.

Brian saw with his own eyes that Rowdy was in the driver's seat, but Rowdy found a driver named Tory to take the blame, while he went to the Golden Triangle to follow Larry and got away with it.

Fourteen years later, Rowdy returned to Arlington again. That was last year, and the first thing he did was to deal with Lambert Group.

Rowdy's expectations, Brian was no longer that 16-year-old teenager. The crisis of trust that he created in Lambert Group was finally resolved by Brian, and Joanne also did not leave Brian.

Later, Rowdy probably couldn't figure out Brian's strength, so he didn't take any more action. At the same time, Joanne also got pregnant with Aiden and Romy, so Brian wasn't in the mood to fight back.

That was exactly the grievance that Brian and Rowdy had with each other.

Yuna was very surprised to hear all this.

She'd just met Rowdy a few years ago. She'd had no interest in finding out about Rowdy's past and had never heard about it from anyone.

She only knew that Rowdy had been preparing to return to Arlington over the past few years.

She'd once thought that Rowdy had wanted to return to his hometown. Now that she thought about it, how could a person like him have a hometown complex?

He just could not forget the hatred of that year, so he'd returned to the Americand had found Brian again.

Yuna looked at Wesley and asked, "Are you dealing with Rowdy for Brian's sake?"

"I was." Wesley paused and then added. "But now, for you."

Yuna felt choked. "For me?"

"Rowdy sent you to me, and now he wants you back, so I can only make him disappear." Then Wesley asked arrogantly, "Do you have a problem with that?"

From his tone, it seemed that as long as Yuna nodded, he would immediately make Rowdy disappear altogether.

This time, Yuna wasn't surprised.

She took a step forward, and with her chest almost pressed against Wesley's chest, she asked, "Wesley, do you love me?"

Without any warning, she blurted the question out as if she was desperate for an answer.

Of course, Yuna didn't hold out any hope that Wesley would answer her.

She just wanted to see how Wesley would react if she pushed him.
