The outdoor air was a bit strong, so Consuela's face darkened. With a smile, she said, "I'll tell you
when I arrive."
That was a lie.
"Okay, I'll wait here." Perhaps, Stacy really valued that blind date. She smiled and drove her car away
without further questions.
Putting her hand on her belly, Consuela felt a bit uncomfortable. She might have been treated like
Adriana too.
However, Richie would not do that like Terence. Oh, maybe it was just because she couldn't help him
and he didn't need to rely on women.
That was why his attitude was so different.
Living in the splendid villa, she was like a maidservant who didn't need to work. As long as she gave
birth to his child, she could satisfy his physiological need.
She was a loser in love.
But she felt she had no right to leave.
When she was trying to deny herself, a familiar voice came from behind. "Miss Consuela, what are you
doing outside? It's so cold. Come in."
She was the housekeeper. She had been taken care of by the housekeeper since she was a little girl.
When she answered her, she walked into the house.
She walked through the rockery and artificial fountain, went to the long corridor to the villa. The
housekeeper helped her carry many things
"Miss Consuela, why did you buy so many things today? Mr. and Mrs. Xia would feel sorry for you once
they see you."
They felt sorry for her to waste money and didn't buy anything for herself.
"I've grown up. I should buy something for my parents. I can't be like running water, just running away
and not bringing back.
Consuela forced a smile. Her white face was flushed by the wind.
She stepped on the snow, crunch. The sun was still hanging above her head, which was emitting heat.
When the snow melted, it was the coldest.
"You've grown up, Miss Consuela," said the housekeeper, gratified.
'she is becoming more and more sensible.'
Scratching her head with a smile, Consuela didn't say anything more.
She was old, but her intelligence was still limited in a certain age.
When she entered the room, the first person she saw was Johnson. She hesitated, holding something
in her hand. She didn't dare to go over. It was still that man who raised his head and looked at her.
"Why are you standing there, Consuela?"
Trying to suppress the bitterness in her heart, she said with a smile, "Dad, I miss you so much."
He took a closer look and found that the grey hair on Johnson's head was increased a lot, and his eyes
were bluish seriously.
She knew only a little about the company's business according to the previous document. It was a
crisis. It could only rely on her father to support the company.
But she could do nothing.
Johnson took off his glasses, looked at the girl who suddenly had red eyes and teased, "you silly girl,
why are your eyes as red as before?"
Then he continued, "you're really as immature as before."
"Dad." Holding back her tears, she smiled happily.
It was obvious that her father joked with her just because he cared about her feelings.
When they were about to sit down on the sofa, they heard a woman's voice from behind them.
"Consuela, you're finally back," the woman said with a bit excitement
She had been looking forward to her child for so long, and finally she was back. When she saw
Consuela turn around, her raised belly appeared in her sight.
Although Stacy had told her about it, now she realized that nothing could be compared to what she had
seen with her own eyes.
While she was shocked by the fact, her heart ached at the same time. Consuela was only a child, but
now she had become a mother.
Moreover, she hadn't seen the man that Stacy had mentioned. Her daughter had come back alone.
"Mom, I..." Noticing that her mother was looking at her belly, she didn't know how to explain.
Her smile became unnatural. She put her hand on her abdomen, trying to block the woman's gaze.
"Consuela..." As soon as she started talking, she met Johnson's disapproving eyes.
Suddenly, she remembered their conversation last night. 'don't force her. The more you force her, the
less likely she will tell the truth.'.
It was better for her to let nature take its course and wait for her to feel guilty and explain it clearly.
Upon hearing that, the woman turned her head to look at the things on the table. She was surprised.
"Why did Consuela buy so many things? Even if she has a job, she can't waste like this."
Consuela heaved a sigh of relief and began to explain with a smile.
She was not feeling good at all.
The more she hid, the more sad she was, as if there were countless bugs eating her.
Unable to hold back her anger anymore, Linda changed the subject. "Consuela, why didn't he come
back with you?" she asked
She was pregnant now and needed to be protected more carefully. How could that man let her come
back alone?
"He is busy abroad these days. He knew that I would go home today, so he specially let me say sorry
to you." Consuela said with a smile.
When a lie was told, it would need countless lies to cover it up.
She pretended to be very happy now. If her parents really wanted to see him, what could she do?
Couldn't she ask Tim to replace him again?
The idea didn't work. After all, Tim worked for Richie, and it was only when he agreed.
But after what happened yesterday, their relationship seemed to enter another freezing point.
What's more, it was the decision of that man unilaterally.
"Don't be annoyed with me. I just want to be able to help you check whether he is a good person or not.
Although it's of no use now. But I have to know if he is good to you, so I can trust you to him."
Consuela understood that she had all these concerns left over from the fact that she had secretly
registered with her household register.
Her parents feared that she would marry someone evil.
With a calm face, Consuela went on making up excuses, "I was in a hurry to take the residence booklet
back then because I was afraid that he would go back on his word. On the other hand, I was afraid that
you wouldn't agree with my marriage at that time. As a result, I took such a brutal action."
Seeing that Linda and Johnson believed in her without any doubt, she suddenly felt that she should
really be an actress.
Her skills of acting and talking nonsense were boosted since a sudden accident.
Moreover, she felt at ease.
Sitting on the couch, Johnson looked straight into her eyes and said, ''Although this is your choice, I'm
telling you, no matter what will happen in the future, our family door will always be open to you. Don't
be a coward just to be with someone."
The daughter of the Xia Clan should not lower her status due to love.
She was amused by her father's concern for her. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she
comforted him, "Dad, don't worry about me. He is very kind to me now."
Even if it was for the child, he would not mistreat her temporarily.
Looking at her bulging belly, Johnson didn't speak, but his eyes were filled with silence. He was unable
to speak.
Consuela was a clever woman and could tell right from wrong. She had her own reasons for judging a
person.
