Chapter 260 I Don't Want To Force Him
Her loud and determined words shocked everyone present!
Anderson stepped forward and held her hand.
He glanced at everyone with stern eyes and then said in a deep voice.
"Today, I officially announce that my wife Clarissa's affairs are also my affairs. If you offend her, you're provoking the entire Jordan Family! About the death of my mother-in-law, I will personally send someone to intervene in the investigation. I also hope that the police will be fair and find out the truth for Clarissa!"
The police officer in Visstead came together with the Chapman family.
Hearing this, he said in a hurry, "Of course! Mr. Jordan, please don't worry. I will personally supervise this case, and I will never let any murderer go!"
Anderson nodded in satisfaction and walked into the hotel with Clarissa.
The Chapman family went to Peaceland to catch Clarissa, which was just like a farce. It started in a threatening manner and ended in an uproar.
Chloe and her family members were taken away by the police because they were suspected of a murder.
Since Anderson had said those words, the police naturally dare not to cover for the Chapman family.
With the beginning of this case, people no longer paid attention to the fact that Clarissa concealed her own situation.
After all, no one expected that Clarissa did this to find out the real murderer who killed her mother.
As for the police, they had helped Clarissa spread false news on the Internet, so some people were critical of them.
But it was related to the murder, so people didn't dare to say anything. Instead, they were looking forward to the final investigation result, and wanted to know if these people in the Chapman family were really as vicious as Clarissa said.
In short, from a certain point of view, this matter had come to an end temporarily.
Clarissa and Anderson returned to Visstead.
The police needed some time to investigate the case, and Clarissa was not in a hurry to know the result.
Lauren had gone abroad before, and she came back recently. Clarissa heard that she was living in Greenland Villa alone and was a little worried her, so she planned to visit her.
That day, Clarissa took the time to go to the supermarket to buy some things and came to Lauren's residence.
Although Greenland Villa was one of the top high-end housing estates in Visstead, it was not as luxurious as the housing estate Lauren used to live.
Clarissa came to the floor where Lauren lived, found her door and rang the doorbell.
Before long, the door was opened.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Lauren became plump. She was wearing light-colored home clothes with her hair straggled down to her shoulders. She still looked very beautiful.
Seeing Clarissa, her eyes lit up as she happily stepped forward and hugged her.
"Thanks god! You're all right. I'm so worried about you."
Clarissa felt warm in heart and patted her on the back, "I'm fine. Don't worry."
After a few seconds, Lauren let go of her.
Then she pulled her into the house.
"Make yourself at home. What do you want to drink? I'll pour it for you."
Clarissa looked around the house and said casually, "I'll drink anything."
She sat down on the sofa and found that although the house was not as good as Lauren's previous residence, the furniture and appliances were high-end and complete. She felt a little relieved.
Lauren brought a glass of water to her, and then sat down opposite her.
Clarissa took a sip and looked at her.
Then both of them fell into silence.
They had been good friends since middle school, and they basically knew what each other was thinking.
However, sometimes, neither of them wanted to speak first. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they didn't want to break the peaceful atmosphere.
Finally, Clarissa spoke first.
"How old is your baby?"
She lifted her chin and gestured to Lauren's swollen belly.
Lauren smiled, lowered her head slightly and touched her belly gently, saying, "Six months old."
Clarissa's heart trembled.
It had been six months in a blink of an eye.
The pregnancy would last for ten months, so Lauren would give birth to the child in four months.
"Where is the child's father? Hasn't he appeared yet?"
Lauren was slightly stunned.
She smiled reluctantly, "Clarissa, I don't want to force him."
Clarissa frowned.
"What do you mean? Don't tell me that he is not going to be responsible for you!"
"No."
Seeing that Clarissa was about to get angry, Lauren immediately stopped her.
"He still doesn't know about it."
"What?"
Clarissa was dumbfounded.
"The child is six months old now, but he actually doesn't know about it? What are you thinking about? You should tell him about this. This is not your own thing. Do you understand?"
Lauren was not in a hurry to explain. After Clarissa finished speaking, she said slowly, "I know, but, do you really think it makes sense to force someone who doesn't love me?"
Clarissa was speechless.
At this moment, looking at Lauren's delicate but somewhat upset face, she finally understood something.
Her throat tightened, and she felt a little painful in heart, as if her heart was blocked by something.
She took a deep breath and asked in a soft voice, "Who... is he?"
Lauren didn't speak.
She sat there in silence and lowered her head slightly without looking directly into Clarissa's eyes.
Obviously, she didn't want to say it.
Clarissa took a breath slowly and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I respect your choice and your privacy. You can choose not to tell me his name, and you can hide this matter from him, but have you thought about the consequences?"
"Lauren, you are known as the most beautiful actress in the entertainment industry, and you are very famous. But now you get pregnant and the child's father is unknown. Do you know what it means to you?"
"Alright, even if you don't care about your career, what about yourself? Having a baby is not something that you can decide impulsively. Have you figured out how to raise him and how to explain all these to him?"
"What's more, how about your father? What will he think? He loves you so much, so he will definitely not allow you to do this. Do you want to break with him?"
Clarissa's concerns were reasonable.
She knew Lauren too well!
Lauren was the only daughter of the Jones family, and she grew up in a honey jar. She always had lots of money to spend and had never suffered since she was a child.
But she was going to raise a child alone in such a severe situation!
Clarissa was worried that she would not be able to hold on and regret her choice.
However, Lauren shook her head.
"Clarissa, I understand everything you are worried about, and I have thought about it carefully."
"But you still want to give birth to him?"
Lauren suddenly looked at Clarissa.
There was no fear, no helplessness, no fragility and hesitation that an unmarried mother should have in her eyes.
She was firm and confident.
"Yes, he is a small life, and he has the right to come into this world. Besides..."
Besides, that was his child!
She couldn't keep that man by her side. Maybe they were just like two intersecting lines. After that night, they would only stay further and further away from each other.
