After Rebirth: The Alpha Ex-Husband Is Addicted to Me-Chapter 206: I’m Pregnant (Part 10)

Grace Hughes truly admires her imagination, "If you indeed found a wealthy person to marry like you envisioned, aren’t you afraid that one day he might discover your background? There’s no wall that doesn’t let the wind through in this world, Stellan. Someone who truly loves you won’t care about your past. You shouldn’t be tossing these thoughts around anymore; how great would it be to just live openly and honestly? Constantly worrying about your new identity being discovered is psychologically draining."

"You’re right indeed."

"Trust me, stop getting worked up over it. However, I support you in finding a good man to marry and living a normal life."

"Then Grace, what are your plans?"

"Me?" Grace Hughes smiled, "Just find a job to work at, what else could I plan for."

"If you’re going abroad, come with me. I don’t want to be alone wherever I go. With you around, I’d be much more at ease. You’re quick-witted and can always give me good suggestions."

"Then you have to pay me a salary."

Stellan Quinn pursed her lips, "We’ve known each other for so long, have I ever given you little money? So what if it’s a salary? I’ll give it to you."

Grace Hughes wrapped her arms around her neck, "Stellan, you’re the best! So which country do you want to go to?"

"Country M."

"When are you planning to go?"

"As soon as my passport and visa are done."

"Alright."

——

"Congratulations, Great Princess Consort," the doctor said with a smile, "You’re pregnant, it’s already seven weeks."

Flora Palmer’s initially low spirits instantly reversed; she asked in mixed joy, "Really?!"

"It’s absolutely true."

Flora Palmer unconsciously placed her hand on her lower abdomen. Although it was still flat, her heart was filled with the joy of becoming a mother.

After exiting the ultrasound room, Lewis asked outside the door, "Miss, what are the results of the examination?"

"I’m pregnant," she said calmly, suppressing her joy.

Lewis was silent for several seconds before responding, "Congratulations, Miss."

Flora Palmer walked forward, "Let’s go to His Highness, we must tell him the news."

"Okay."

Upon reaching the office, Arthur Bennett’s subordinate said, "His Highness is taking a nap and has instructed not to be disturbed by anyone."

"I’m pregnant and want to tell him personally."

The subordinate stepped back immediately upon hearing this, "Princess, please come in."

Flora Palmer glanced at him and said to Lewis behind her, "Wait outside the door."

"Yes."

She gently pushed open Arthur Bennett’s room door and entered. As she passed by the desk on the way to the lounge, she suddenly stopped, attracted by a woman’s diamond ring on the desk.

Flora Palmer picked up the diamond ring and looked at it carefully, her gaze suddenly landing on two English letters.

Two Y’s.

Clearly name initials, Arthur Bennett’s name’s first initial doesn’t start with a Y sound.

Flora Palmer immediately thought of Lucy Eaton and Jacob Green.

Only their surnames start with Y.

Just as she was staring at the diamond ring to take a closer look, Arthur Bennett came over and snatched the ring directly from her hand.

"What are you doing touching my things?"

Flora Palmer pondered inwardly, "Oh? So there’s a new woman now, even buying diamond rings?"

Seeing her seemingly unaware, Arthur Bennett excused, "This is something from my ex-girlfriend; after the breakup, she left it behind. I’ll have someone throw it away later."

"It looks expensive, wouldn’t it be a waste to throw it away?"

"No matter how expensive, it shouldn’t stay with a married man like me."

Flora Palmer found his words disgusting, "I came to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"I’m pregnant, seven weeks."

Arthur Bennett’s face showed a smile, "Really? That’s great news, take good care of the pregnancy."

"I want to return to my family’s home later to tell them this good news personally."

"That’s appropriate, go ahead, just come back early."

Flora Palmer nodded, "During my pregnancy, don’t touch me; the doctor said my health isn’t very good, and marital relations are prohibited."

"Okay."

Hearing his agreement, Flora Palmer felt relieved, but she added, "However, don’t let that stop you from visiting my room; accompany me more often."

It’s a joke, if he doesn’t come, how can she continue to poison him?

Perhaps because he knew she was pregnant, Arthur Bennett spoke more gently, "Of course."

"Then I’ll go back to my room first."

"Alright."

After leaving his office, Flora Palmer’s heart tightened bit by bit; was the diamond ring really Lucy Eaton’s?

She must quickly confirm; if the mastermind behind Lucy Eaton’s murder was indeed him, then she...

Her heart truly felt dread.

On her way back to her family’s home, she thought a lot, and once at the Palmer Family, she called Jacob Green using a different phone.

"What does your wedding ring with Lucy look like?"

"Why ask about that all of a sudden?"

"I saw a diamond ring on Arthur Bennett’s desk engraved with two Y’s..."

Before she finished, Jacob Green became unusually emotional, "It must be Lucy’s. Ever since my relationship with Lucy was made public, she began wearing the diamond ring when she went out. I still have photos of that diamond ring on my phone. Where are you?"

"I’m at the Palmer Family."

"I’m at my father-in-law’s house; I’ll come to you now."

"Okay, I’ll wait for you. You can meet me at the back door of my house."

Jacob Green arrived about twenty minutes later, and Flora Palmer stood waiting alone. Once he came in and showed her the photos of the wedding ring on his phone, she nodded to confirm, "That’s right, the diamond ring is identical to the one in the photo. He explained that it belonged to his ex-girlfriend, and it’s probably been dealt with now. The brain tumor patient was just a scapegoat; he’s the true mastermind."

Jacob Green’s expression was terrifyingly grim, "Looks like a flawless setup; even I almost missed it."

"I’m pregnant; the day I give birth might be my death date. He mentioned he wanted me to die in childbirth."

Jacob Green looked at her with a complex expression, "How long has it been?"

"Seven weeks," she said solemnly. "I belong to Lucy, and without her, I belong to you. Before, I contemplated telling Lucy alone if I got pregnant, but now, I can only tell you."

"What?"

Flora Palmer tiptoed to whisper in his ear, "The child isn’t Arthur Bennett’s; the father is someone else, his name is Lewis."

"That person beside you..."

She nodded, "He doesn’t know either; he assumed I took medicine. That day was purely accidental, Arthur Bennett brought on this mess himself by forcing that drug-ridden liquor on me. I didn’t want to have marital relations with him and disgust myself, so... This matter is significant, I hope you can keep it a secret."

"I understand."

"There’s something else I need to tell you," Flora Palmer lowered her eyes, "Lucy once privately came over to the Palmer Family to see me and gave me a type of medicine. It’s colorless and tasteless, and the tablets themselves are non-toxic with a health-promoting effect for women, but it shouldn’t be used around alcohol consumption, as it would cause chronic poisoning. I’ve been feeding Arthur Bennett one pill weekly. Lucy mentioned the poison has no cure and will continue to spread even if stopped; Lucy didn’t want others to know about this, so perhaps you weren’t aware either."
