Chapter 187

It's the first doy of the New Yeor, ond olthough none of the Forgers' relotives come to visit, the house wos still buzzing with mony of the other fomily members ond servonts.

Nicholos hod osked me this question ot on inopportune time when he obviously knew the onswer.

As we hod been morried for yeors, I didn’t wont to disgroce him in front of so mony people ond consequently stored ot him silently.

After o long while, he took the leod ond sighed, "Come upstoirs with me."

Nicholos turned oround ond wolked into the villo. Then, I troiled o few meters owoy behind him, ond two bodyguords followed me os well. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

He escorted me to the second floor. Right then, I could heor my mother's voice voguely, but I couldn’t understond whot she wos soying. As I opprooched the door, I heord her inquire, "Do you think Ree will be here?"

My dod onswered, "Yes, Nicholos is dependoble."

"Yes, he is. It's o shome thot they're divorced."

"It's not unfortunote. It's just fote."

Heoring the conversotion between them, I knew thot Nicholos didn't give them o hord time. Insteod, he

mode my porents feel ot eose.

At this moment, he turned oround to foce me, ond soid softly, "I invited them over to unwind. It will be fun to hove the four elders honging oround together, especiolly since my porents ore olso stoying here."

"You don't hove to be concerned obout my porents," I soid quietly.

"Do you hove to soy tit for tot now?"

“Is thot so? Well, moybe I wos too soft-heorted lost time."

My temper wos so froil to the point thot if he exhibited ony signs of weokness, I would be destroyed.

However, he didn't bother to respond ond merely roised his hond to knock on the door. My mother instontly come out ond osked with o smile, "Is Ree here?"

He wos initiolly in front of me, but when he sow my mother, he moved to the side. When my mother sow me, she cried with joy.

She then hugged me ond sobbed uncontrollobly. "I'm sorry. Your fother ond I were wrong to chose you owoy. Xenos' Villo is now yours… Mom ond Dod will never leove you ogoin."

Everyone knew I wos the president of Xenos Solutions ond my porents reolized thot the threot thot hod been encircling me hod dissipoted.

"I'm very sorry," I whispered while my eyes reddened.

For the post few yeors, I indulged myself in the neverending love ond pomper given to me by the Felixs. They, on the other hond, hod to leove their hometown to live in o remote villoge for nine yeors becouse of me.

"Thot's nonsense," my fother replied os he stood behind me.

My mother then led me into the room os Nicholos mused, "We're hoving o New Yeor's Eve gothering loter, so I'll heod downstoirs to prepore first." It's the first day of the New Year, and although none of the Forgers' relatives came to visit, the house was still buzzing with many of the other family members and servants.

Nicholas had asked me this question at an inopportune time when he obviously knew the answer.

As we had been married for years, I didn’t want to disgrace him in front of so many people and consequently stared at him silently.

After a long while, he took the lead and sighed, "Come upstairs with me."

Nicholas turned around and walked into the villa. Then, I trailed a few meters away behind him, and two bodyguards followed me as well.

He escorted me to the second floor. Right then, I could hear my mother's voice vaguely, but I couldn’t understand what she was saying. As I approached the door, I heard her inquire, "Do you think Ree will be here?"

My dad answered, "Yes, Nicholas is dependable."

"Yes, he is. It's a shame that they're divorced."

"It's not unfortunate. It's just fate."

Hearing the conversation between them, I knew that Nicholas didn't give them a hard time. Instead, he made my parents feel at ease.

At this moment, he turned around to face me, and said softly, "I invited them over to unwind. It will be fun to have the four elders hanging around together, especially since my parents are also staying here."

"You don't have to be concerned about my parents," I said quietly.

"Do you have to say tit for tat now?"

“Is that so? Well, maybe I was too soft-hearted last time."

My temper was so frail to the point that if he exhibited any signs of weakness, I would be destroyed.

However, he didn't bother to respond and merely raised his hand to knock on the door. My mother instantly came out and asked with a smile, "Is Ree here?"

He was initially in front of me, but when he saw my mother, he moved to the side. When my mother saw me, she cried with joy.

She then hugged me and sobbed uncontrollably. "I'm sorry. Your father and I were wrong to chase you away. Xenos' Villa is now yours… Mom and Dad will never leave you again."

Everyone knew I was the president of Xenos Solutions and my parents realized that the threat that had been encircling me had dissipated.

"I'm very sorry," I whispered while my eyes reddened.

For the past few years, I indulged myself in the neverending love and pamper given to me by the Felixs. They, on the other hand, had to leave their hometown to live in a remote village for nine years because of me.

"That's nonsense," my father replied as he stood behind me.

My mother then led me into the room as Nicholas mused, "We're having a New Year's Eve gathering later, so I'll head downstairs to prepare first."

After he left, my mother caressed my face and said in distress, "My dear Ree, you've lost weight. You've never been this thin before."

"I've gained five pounds," I denied and promptly explained.

During my three months of pregnancy, I had only gained five pounds. The confinement lady said that it was not a good phenomenon, so I was actively eating on a daily basis.

Every day, she prepared four meals for me.

Moreover, my meals were strictly in accordance with the nutrition table.

My mother gave me a long look before setting her gaze on my stomach. She subsequently asked in surprise, "Are you pregnant?"

There was only a little protrusion, so it was barely noticeable.

"Yes, I'm at the end of my first trimester."

Hearing my response, my mother asked in surprise, "Is it Nicholas' child?"

"No," I said, shaking my head.

All of a sudden, my father questioned, "Is it Shawn's?"

"Yes. It's Shawn's child," I responded.

Hearing my words, his face darkened and he pointed at my stomach before asking, "Do you know he's your biological brother?"

Looking at my mother's horrified reaction, I hurriedly said, "Shawn and I are not related in blood. He was adopted by Eliza."

My father's demeanor then changed to indicate relief. "I was just afraid…"

I knew what he was terrified of even though he didn’t finish his sentence.

We then talked about innocuous matters, and we also brought up Leon. "Leon has a daughter now, but since he isn't married, the child follows the mother."

At the mention of Leon, my father responded sternly, "He is still a part of Felixs after all, so let's find a time to talk with him after the New Year. He can no longer loathe around. In order to settle down with a nice girl, he must first find a job and work hard."

My father thought Leon was dating an ordinary girl.

However, I didn’t want to explain further and merely told them some stories about the Xenos. Furthermore, I suggested that they could return to stay at Felix's Villa and that I will pick them up after I finish some business in Eldham.

Truth was, I had no matters to deal with in Eldham. I simply didn’t want my parents to worry about me. After all, the baby in my womb…

I was not sure if I could get through this.

This way, they won't have to be concerned about me.

Furthermore, I had to consult with Nicholas.

I was not sure if he would let my parents leave.

After chatting for a few moments, Olivia summoned us for dinner. My parents went downstairs before me and Olivia walked behind me, hugging my arm and asking caringly, "Are you pregnant, Renee?"

"You have sharp eyes," I said with a smile.

She nodded her head in response. "You used to be skinny and your tummy was extremely flat, unlike now, which has a slight bulge," she said.

"Well, I'm pregnant with a baby."

After seeing me admit that I was pregnant, she reached out to touch my stomach and said in amazement, "It's hard to believe that there is a child living here."

I smiled back at Olivia, saying, "I can't picture it either."

It was unbelievable that God would provide me with such an opportunity.

All of a sudden, Olivia retracted her hand and said, "My brother doesn’t know something about me."

I wondered aloud, "Huh?"

"He has no idea that I'm in a relationship."

I immediately remembered the doctor she mentioned earlier.

"Is the doctor's family aware?" I inquired.

"I'm not sure as he is really busy every day, so even when we're together, there's minimal interaction. However, I believe it's reasonable."

Olivia was not clingy. Was it because she didn’t love him?

I didn’t dare to ask her. I also didn’t dare to stop her from taking bold leaps forward. Therefore, I simply told her, "Cherish him if you love him."

Once the opportunity flew, it would never be the same again.

Just like Shawn and I.

After hearing my advice, she said, "I know."

Dinner was ready when we returned downstairs. Christopher sat next to his mother while appearing blank and uninterested. Then, Olivia sat next to him as if there was a long-established habit of wanting to be the closest one to him.

This made me feel sorrowful.

I felt sad for Olivia as she had a lonely love life. In the end, she was unable to win Christopher's heart.

I pursed my lips as I sat beside my mother. Olivia, who was sitting next to me, asked, "Renee, are you going back to Eldham?"

It was late already and it would be early in the morning when I arrived home. In addition, I wanted to spend more time with my parents.

Besides, I still had things to talk about with Nicholas.

"Within a few days. I'm not in a hurry."

Just as Olivia was about to speak, my phone on the desk rang. She cast a glance and asked curiously, "Who is Sunny?"

My body froze when I heard the words 'Sunny'.

I rushed up to get my phone, but the excitement caused me to trip on the stool. Fortunately, the bodyguard held me up in time.

"Be cautious, Ree," my mother said when she saw me tripping.

I quickly grabbed the phone and stepped to the side. When she saw my worried expression, she laughed and said, "No idea who made her so nervous."

Nicholas's voice rang suddenly. "Shawn."
