Chapter 734: Chapter 734: He Began to Feel a Bit Afraid
All her tender affections were fake; she just wanted to deliver a fatal blow to him.
Her heart and mind were always on her first love, Chase Sullivan, while he was nothing more than a demon who forced his way into her life; she felt no affection or love for him, just hatred.
Why did she want to commit suicide?
Could it be... every moment with him had become so unbearable that she was willing to use death as an extreme means to escape him?
Jude Crawford strode into the bathtub, directly pulling open his belt, possessing her silently, yet roughly.
The woman beneath him didn’t cry out in pain, she just looked at him and laughed, "Jude Crawford, I haven’t bathed yet, don’t you find it dirty?"
He froze.
"Ha, haha, Jude Crawford, are you disgusted? Yes, that’s the feeling, every time I kiss you, lying beneath you, that’s how I feel."
He quickly closed his bloodshot eyes, pinning her forcefully against the cold bathtub wall.
She curled up in pain, but she refused to cry out; her fingernails etched deep blood marks on his muscle, "Jude Crawford, get lost, don’t touch me. If you want to satisfy your beastly desires, go find another woman!"
She told him to find another woman!
He froze quickly, the most distinguished figure in Aethelgard’s business world, born a child of the heavens, with an unassailable pride and dignity, but in that moment, she trampled all over his pride and dignity.
He pulled out and left immediately.
He didn’t return for several days, and she didn’t contact him either. This routine was interrupted one day because Isabelle Willow suddenly got pregnant.
She had been pregnant for a month.
He calculated the dates, the child was conceived the night she was with Chase Sullivan.
The child in her belly was Chase Sullivan’s.
She was carrying another man’s child.
The child in her belly was illegitimate.
He began to drown himself in alcohol, needing it to numb himself; only in this way could he prevent himself from finding her, fearing he would strangle her. This woman had been spoiled by him, how dare she... how dare she humiliate him like this?
It was then that Zelda Willow approached him.
He had always known Zelda Willow’s thoughts about him. Before, he never gave Zelda Willow any chance to get close, not once, but this time was different; she wanted him to find another woman, and if that woman was Zelda Willow, would her heart ache, would she be jealous?
And so, he gave Zelda Willow an opportunity, pretending to be drunk, allowing Zelda Willow to take him to a presidential suite.
That night, Zelda Willow always believed she had spent the spring night with him. Ha, Zelda Willow would never know, the man that night was not him, but a stand-in he had hired.
After that night, Zelda Willow also got pregnant.
With Isabelle Willow and Zelda Willow becoming pregnant one after another, he began to feign closeness with Zelda Willow, also tacitly allowing all the provocations from Zelda Willow. He knew Zelda Willow often went to Jill’s room with her big belly to provoke Isabelle Willow, but she showed no reaction.
She seemed disinterested in Zelda Willow carrying his child, but then again, things seemed a bit different, as she rapidly lost weight during that time, and her mental state deteriorated. The maid said she hadn’t picked up a pen in a long time, seemingly having given up on her beloved Fly jewelry design, becoming quiet and hollow, staying in her room alone, all day.
If she still harbored interest or concern for the outside world, it was for Hayden.
Hayden, besides studies, stayed by her side all the time, curiously lying on her big belly, "Mommy, is there a little Mimi or a little brother in your belly?"
She would smile, "Hayden, do you want a little brother or a little Mimi?"
"Hmm... although I really want a little Mimi, I feel like it’s a little brother in there."
She only spoke to Hayden, only had eyes for Hayden. Since that night he left, she never contacted him on her own again, seemingly having forgotten about him.
He hadn’t touched her for a long time either; the youthful affection in a person’s life is long. Never did he imagine he would fall in love with any girl, now, besides her, he couldn’t fall in love with another.
He found himself starting to miss her, to long for her, but due to his pride and dignity, he wouldn’t allow himself to actively seek her again.
Just then, Zelda Willow proposed to take Hayden over to raise him.
He agreed.
Zelda Willow’s little thoughts weren’t enough to catch his attention, he thought if Zelda Willow touched her Hayden, she would inevitably come to him, come to beg him.
Sure enough, she came to him that evening, and he returned ahead of his schedule, waiting for her.
But he didn’t expect she would carry a knife with her. Ever since he saved her from drowning and suicide that time, she actually brought a knife again.
A wave of panic spread from his heart, he raised his hand and slapped her hard.
She was already as thin as a paper kite, with his slap, she fell to the ground, her right cheek swollen and red.
His hand trembled, the girl he cherished and loved most in his heart, even in his deepest hurt, he couldn’t bear to touch her, yet he had given her a harsh slap.
He crouched down, holding her tightly in his arms, and in that moment he was scared, truly scared; he feared she would one day leave him far behind.
He felt she was like sand tightly clutched in his palm, the tighter he held, the faster she slipped away.
Could it be... she really detested him to such an extent?
After that, he conveniently returned to Jill’s room, pushing aside many work commitments to stay with her.
For some reason, her physical and mental state never improved, her appetite was terrible. He forced her to eat, and though she obediently complied, she couldn’t help but vomit everything back up immediately after.
The doctor already secretly told him, she was carrying a son.
This son had a quiet personality and would likely resemble her as he grew; at the time, he didn’t believe it, but in later years, seeing Zane becoming increasingly like her—elegant and refined—proved it.
Back then, he didn’t plan on keeping the child; Jude Crawford would never allow his woman to bear another man’s son.
However, her health was too poor; if he forced an abortion, the doctor said she definitely couldn’t take it, and she already loathed him so much that he unexpectedly felt a few moments of cowardice, fearing to truly drive her into despair.
Therefore, he waited until she went into labor prematurely in the ninth month before acting.
