Chapter 129 You are more important than the child, do you understand?
"Do you know, Sebastian," Lynda approached, her hands passing through his waist, embracing him, lightly pressing against his heart, "I envy Isabella so much, I am so envious..."
Sebastian furrowed his brow, "You envy... her?"
"Yes. She gets to see you every day, whether it's day or night. She can stand next to you with legitimacy, she can enjoy all the honors of being your woman... even the Lawrence family, who has never liked me, accepts and tolerates her."
"She has everything I want, everything I've been longing for, everything you worked so hard to fight for me... and she easily gets it."
Sebastian lowered his head, gazing at Lynda in his arms, slowly raising his hand, unsure where to place it.
In the end, his large palm gently stroked the strands of hair behind her ear, "I've explained her situation to you."
"So, the best time for me to come back is... the day you divorce her, right?"
"...You can see it that way."
Lynda pursued, "Then, Sebastian, when will you divorce her?"
Sebastian lowered his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing, after a brief silence, he answered softly, "The day the child is born will be the day Isabella and I divorce."
"...Child?"
Lynda looked up at Sebastian.
She had no idea about this!
"Yes. A child."
A sense of panic flashed in Lynda's eyes, "What about a child? Sebastian, you never told me about this! What you told me was that you were marrying Isabella for my sake, but a child... a child..."
A child is so important to a family.
And for a prestigious family like the Lawrence family, a child would be the heir!
So, why was Lynda panicking?
If Isabella had a child, what would she do?
Isabella was not a threat to Lynda; Sebastian didn't have any feelings for her, otherwise, Bob wouldn't have been released so easily.
But a child is different! Isabella could very well be the mother of the heir!
"I need a child, the Lawrence family needs a child," Sebastian replied calmly, "and your body is not suitable for pregnancy. So, only Isabella can fulfill that."
Lynda hastily said, "I can bear a child, Sebastian, as long as I take good care of myself, my body can..."
"I can't take the risk," Sebastian interrupted her, "Lynda, I can't let you take that risk."
"But the doctor said that in the later stages, with careful nurturing, I am qualified to be a mother!"
"I can't jeopardize your life for the sake of a child." Sebastian's voice trailed off.
Sebastian is adamant, "This is not negotiable."
Lynda was upset and argued, "But I know... It can be done."
"Your body is already weak, and if you get pregnant again, it will endanger your life."
"But I want to have a baby with you, Sebastian."
Lynda's eyes flashed with tears, "I want to have a child that belongs to us... Not Isabella."
Sebastian held her shoulder and gently pushed her away.
"You're more important than a baby, okay?"
Lynda burst into tears.
"Sebastian... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
He didn't say anything, just wiped away her tears.
"This baby, Isabella can only give, everything is according to my plan, according to the schedule. Lynda, with this baby as the heir, the Lawrence family won't have to press against you anymore."
"Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
"You just have to wait for me."
See, the favored one, how lucky.
Don't do anything. Just wait for him.
When Sebastian had arranged everything, when Isabella had finished the "fertility" function, when the Lawrence family had stopped objecting... You can.
Sebastian will be paving the way for Lynda to marry into Lawrence's family.
Lynda couldn't stand it anymore and jumped into his arms.
"I'm sorry, Sebastian... I'm sorry..."
If she had been healthier, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
"I'll take you back." Sebastian patted her on the back. "It's late."
"Good," said Lynda.
Lynda had moved into the garden house, Sebastian had transferred the servants and security guards, and the place was slowly becoming lively and popular.
As they got out of the car, Lynda asked, "Sebastian, tonight... Will you stay?"
Sebastian still had his hands on the wheel and didn't seem to be getting out of the car.
She just asked on purpose.
Let Bob go, let Isabella lose face at Willow Brook Estate, let Sebastian sleep over...
What a beautiful, beautiful win for Lynda.
"... No."
Sebastian said, "I have some unfinished business at Willow Brook Estate."
"Is it? Anything else?"
"None of your business."
"Take care of her," he said, lowering the window of his car and addressing the people outside.
"Yes, Mr. Lawrence."
"All right."
Lynda was also a very sensible person, and did not say anything more, "You drive slowly, pay attention to safety, and give me a message when you get home."
"HMM."
Lynda unbuckled her seat belt, but instead of getting out of the car, she leaned over to Sebastian.
She then came in front. She had a beautiful smile, just like in in his memories.
Sebastian looked at her, lowered his head, and pecked her lips gently. The servants waiting outside immediately turned their heads, pretending they hadn't seen anything.
"Is that it?" Lynda pouted, dissatisfied. "Not enough."
Sebastian sat up straight, looking straight ahead.
"Rest early."
There was a hint of sadness in Lynda's eyes, but she still nodded.
"Fine, I'm leaving. Goodbye."
Sebastian watched as Lynda, taken care of by the servants, entered the house, and only then did he start the car and leave.
He didn't understand what was happening, why, whenever he was with Lynda, all he could think about was Isabella.
The words she said seemed to echo in his ears before going upstairs - "But as soon as she arrived, you immediately went to her side."
"In the future, I won't be able to deceive myself anymore, right?"
Deceive? What was Isabella deceiving herself about? In the quiet night, the busy and congested streets during the day were surprisingly smooth and spacious.
Sebastian pressed on the accelerator, faster and faster, he wanted to return to Willow Brook Estate... to see her.
Isabella lay on the master bed. She had been lying there with her eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling, all night long.
She couldn't sleep, unable to even breathe without a tinge of pain.
She could hear the sound of the car driving away, and then she heard the sound of the car coming back... returning?
Sebastian had come back? Two beams of headlights flashed by the window, and downstairs, the sound of a car engine could be heard.
It didn't take long before footsteps could be heard outside, approaching from afar. Sebastian had come back... he had really come back.
