Chapter 203 Sebastian, I'm Pregnant
Now, Sebastian regretted.
He wanted to talk about romance, about love.
But... it was too late.
"If we hadn't met in this way, Sebastian, we would never have had any connection."
He was taken aback. "Is that so?"
"Yes. Even if we were to meet later, it would only be at those mingling banquets, just a passing acquaintance." Isabella replied, "You're the much-coveted Mr. Lawrence, and I'm Mrs. Cooper, each leading our own lives."
Sebastian fell silent.
"However." She chuckled, "If you hadn't found me, you would surely have caused trouble for other girls. Thinking about it this way, it's better for you to bother me. At least I'm short of money and have fallen in love with you. Other women... probably aren't as foolish as I am."
With that, she sighed, "Anyway, in order to marry Lynda, you would always end up hurting another woman. If it's not me, it would be someone else. So, let it be me."
"Why does it have to be you?" Sebastian asked, "If it were someone else, you wouldn't be living this life now."
"Because I can stay by your side for more than a year; I can get to know you and have close contact with you. It's better than us standing in front of each other, passing by, not knowing each other for the rest of our lives."
Sebastian's heartstrings were plucked.
"Yes." He replied, "Our entanglement, our mutual use of each other, at least we've had a period of shared life. It's better than not knowing each other, better than never intersecting."
If Sebastian never knew Isabella...
He suddenly panicked for a moment, and the hand holding her tightened slightly.
But he quickly realized what he was doing. Afraid of hurting her, he immediately loosened a bit.
Isabella didn't notice these details.
"So, there's nothing to regret." She said, "No matter how unbearable the meeting, we are already married now. I really don't want to not know you in this life, although... I hate that I love you."
Sebastian, however, was looking down: "If I had known then that we would be like this now, that the woman I'm marrying is you, Isabella, then... I would want to meet in a different way."
"Meet in a different way?"
"Uh-huh." Sebastian nodded, "But, it seems too late now."
Cooper family gates, stormy night...
Why did he choose such a day, in such a way?
Isabella, if he had known earlier, that to this day, he would become reluctant to part with you, would pity you, and even have feelings for you, he would definitely not have chosen to appear at that time and reach out to you.
Just change the way, just change it, he and Isabella wouldn't have ended up here today.
"Actually, it's all the same." Isabella replied, "No matter how we meet or how we get to know each other, you're still going to marry Lynda in the end. I'm just your pawn, a stepping stone for you to marry Lynda; the essence of the situation hasn't changed."
Sebastian sighed softly: "No, Isabella, it would have been different..."
There was another hidden truth, almost cruel, that he didn't tell her.
That stormy night when she was kneeling outside the Cooper family gates, it could have been changed.
But Sebastian wouldn't tell Isabella now.
He didn't dare; he was afraid. He would hide this truth deeply; the day she found out would never come.
Isabella knew nothing. She just found what he was saying funny. "You... you're just too confident, to the point of being arrogant. What, do you still think that you can change the inevitable divorce between us?"
"What if it's possible?"
"That would require a lot of conditions." Isabella thought seriously, "First, the Wallace Group must not go bankrupt. Second, I've broken up with Marcus. Third, I'm willing to marry you. Fourth... it's about you and Lynda."
Sebastian fell silent.
If he continued, she would notice something. It was better to keep silent.
He could only regret it alone.
It was his fault; he had calculated everything but forgot himself.
If he changed the way they met, then, they wouldn't have had such a miserable start, and they wouldn't be in such a miserable marriage deal.
But it was too late, all too late; there was no time.
"What's the use of saying so much?" Isabella's tone was full of self-mockery, "Never look back to the past. Sebastian, what we need to do is to get through the rest of this year well."
He asked, "How do you know that we only have one year left between us?"
Isabella straightened up from his arms, looking at him squarely.
"Because, Sebastian, I'm pregnant." She slowly said.
Her voice was soft, her tone casual, but it was like a thunderbolt exploding next to Sebastian's ear.
He doubted his hearing for a moment, "What... what are you saying?"
"I'm pregnant." Isabella repeated, "But, I've only tested with an at-home pregnancy test; I haven't gone to the hospital for a formal check."
Sebastian's hands abruptly gripped her shoulders, and he stared at her deeply, "You're pregnant? We're having a baby? Isabella, we're having a baby?"
Isabella had imagined countless times when, where, and under what circumstances she would tell Sebastian this news.
But she never thought it would be after he had slapped her.
She also thought about what expression Sebastian would show when he knew this news.
Would he be delighted, happy, excited, or would he speak in a more normal tone?
But when he said the words "we’re having a baby", Isabella inevitably had tears in her eyes.
He spoke too tenderly.
It was such a joyful thing for a couple to have a child, to welcome the arrival of a new life.
She saw the joy and excitement all over Sebastian's eyes, mouth, face, and nodded, "Yes. I still need the official confirmation from the hospital."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sebastian hugged her.
Isabella felt her body lighten as Sebastian lifted her off the ground.
She exclaimed, her hand hooked around his neck, "Ah... what are you doing?!"
Sebastian held her horizontally, the previous gloom, displeasure, and silence were all swept away, all disappeared, replaced by the joy of knowing she was pregnant.
"I'm happy." He said, "Isabella, we're going to have our own child."
"I said, I just used an at-home pregnancy test..."
"You’re definitely pregnant." Sebastian was certain, "Isabella, I've waited for this day for so long."
He joyfully held her and spun around, causing Isabella's world to spin, "Put me down quickly... Ah! Sebastian! I'm dizzy! If you keep spinning, I'm going to throw up!"
At this moment, Sebastian was just like a kid who got a gold star in elementary school.
