Bradley listened, rubbing his chin, and his lips curved slightly. "So, what are you trying to say?"

Patrick on the other end chuckled, "I'm just reminding you to speed up this battle, reclaim the Solterra's throne as soon as possible, and when that happens, your wife will be the queen. You better hurry up and work on making babies to tie her down. Otherwise, with such an outstanding wife like her, you won't be able to control her sooner or later."

Bradley nodded, "Hmm, you're right. Having children should indeed be on the agenda!"

After saying that, he glanced meaningfully at the woman beside him, his eyes obscure and mysterious.

With such an exceptional woman by his side, who also harboring a big secret, and with Queen Sally trying hard to break them apart, he needed to put more effort into getting ahead of the game.

Patrick raised an eyebrow, continuing the conversation, "By the way, I think it will take some time for me to return. Madeline just got pregnant, and her morning sickness is too severe for me to leave. I'll go back once her condition improves."

"Pregnant?" Bradley was slightly taken aback. "You go back to coax your wife to bed, and end up getting her pregnant? Well done, Patrick. While brothers are bleeding and sweating on the front lines, you're living a carefree life."

Patrick rubbed his chin and chuckled, "Well, the car was going too fast, and I couldn't brake in time."

Hearing this, Bradley's expression changed.

So, to get Freya pregnant, he had to rely on car speed?

Okay, he'd try it later.

If he could get this little woman pregnant ... he wouldn't have to worry every day about her being taken away!

After hanging up the phone, Bradley hugged Freya eagerly. "Honey, Madeline is pregnant."

"Ah!"

Freya was lost in thought when she suddenly heard him say this, and she jumped in shock.

Madeline was pregnant?

When did that happen, and why didn't she know?

Just now, Patrick called and said she just got pregnant recently and experiencing significant discomfort so she needs to rest in bed."

As the man spoke, his hand wandered.

Freya shuddered suddenly, meeting the man's heated gaze. It felt like a wolf staring at its prey, dangerous in every way.

"Well, then let Patrick accompany Madeline well. If he dares to let Madeline suffer or be wronged, I won't let him off the hook!"

Madeline was her good sister. When she was down and out, the two of them relied on each other to survive, supporting each other until now.

For her, this kind of relationship had long surpassed the bond between biological sisters.

But this girl was really audacious to get pregnant before marriage. It was so unreliable.

"Patrick is about to become a father even before getting married, then what about me?" The man leaned in, rubbing his chin against her shoulder.

Freya felt a tingling sensation, instinctively wanting to avoid it, but the man held her tighter.

"Honey, didn't we agree that we'd consider having children after you reclaim the Solterra? With your current busy schedule and my own commitments, it just doesn't seem like the right time to have a child."

Besides, the International Fashion Design Competition was about to start, and she needed to give her all to this competition.

After all, this lawsuit had caused quite a stir, and everyone knew her identity as Julia. If she couldn't present the most outstanding work, it would be like publicly humiliating herself.

She really didn't have much energy to focus on having a child right now.

Of course, when everything settled down, if he still wanted to have a child, she was willing to have one for him and stayed at home to take care of the family.

"Okay, I won't force you."

Bradley said, feeling a bit disappointed but not wanting to pressure her.

There was plenty of time ahead, and he believed that one day, she would be willing to have a child for him!

...

Meanwhile, at Lucy's villa.

In the living room, Lucy laid on the sofa, her face covered in bandages.

After leaving the police station, she went to fix her face. Although her nose was injured, the extent of the disfigurement wasn't severe. She just had some minor cosmetic procedures done.

However, the doctor said she couldn't get her nose wet for a few days to avoid scarring.

The thought of ending up in this state, all because of Freya, enraged Lucy. She angrily swept everything off the table.

She cried out, "You have to come up with a plan for me. I must destroy that despicable Freya! She's too arrogant, to bully me like this. I've never suffered such humiliation in my life. I want her dead, no, I want to ruin her face first, then make her wish she were dead!"

Sitting across from her was a woman wearing a mask.

The woman crossed her legs and looked coldly at her. "The opportunity was given to you, and the plan was also arranged for you. How could you lose to her? You ended up in this situation today because of your own incompetence. Who else can you blame?"

"No, it's that despicable Freya, she's just too cunning. She completely exposed all our plans, waiting for all of us to fall into her trap. We're all just monkeys in her hands. I've done my best."

Lucy's emotions were too intense, and she accidentally touched her wound, causing her to cry out in pain.

Shadow looked at her indifferently, her voice as cold as frost. "For now, you better stay quiet for a while, don't act recklessly, and don't provoke Freya. That woman is one who seeks revenge for even the smallest grievances. If you confront her now, you'll end up like Selena. As for Selena, she's just a pawn. If she dies, it's no great loss."

"If I don't provoke her, then what was all this pain for?" Lucy unwillingly protested.

"Wait for my good news first. I'll inform you of the next plan."

With these words, Shadow got up and left.

Watching her leave, Lucy felt even more upset. She didn't want to let Freya off so easily.

She wanted to reclaim the pain she suffered today a thousandfold!

...

As soon as Freya returned to the villa, she immediately called Madeline to confirm that she was already two weeks pregnant.

From the sound of her voice, Madeline's situation didn't seem too optimistic.

She was experiencing severe early pregnancy symptoms, to the point where she couldn't even get out of bed, which was a bit worrying.

Madeline seemed to be in good health, but because of the Luna family's downfall, she had to bear the heavy burden of repaying debts on her own, which took a toll on her body.

Now that she was pregnant, she was likely to suffer.

If they were still in the capital, Freya might have been able to accompany her through the entire pregnancy, but now they were separated by distance, making it difficult for them to meet.

Freya sighed deeply, feeling a bit depressed.

Leaving the city where she had lived for nearly twenty years, she couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic.

After all, her roots were in the capital, and despite all the pain and suffering there, it was still her hometown.

Knock, knock, knock!

There was a knocking at the door, and Ella entered.

Seeing her looking melancholic, Ella approached and held her arm. "I've already arranged for the people at the medical center to monitor Madeline's condition. There shouldn't be any major problems. Just accompany Mr. Bradley in reclaiming the Solterra and don't worry too much."

Freya tightened her lips and leaned on Ella. "Madeline has suffered too much in her life. I hope that the new baby could somehow ease her regrets."
