Secretly Married for 4 Years, He Regrets to Tears After the Divorce-Chapter 143: Pregnant with Your Child

That kind of explanation was worse than no explanation at all.

Wren Sutton sneered inwardly. ’If I believe that, I’m a fool.’

All those nights Adrian Lancaster stayed out, specifically to be with Maya Marshall... she refused to believe that nothing happened when a man and a woman were alone in a room together.

Others might not know Adrian Lancaster, but Wren Sutton knew him all too well.

However proper he was at the office during the day was how wild he became in bed at night. His libido was shockingly high, and he knew plenty of tricks—a far cry from the cold, celibate man of rumors.

Maya Marshall was Adrian’s unforgettable first love, the one he put on a pedestal. He loved her so much; Wren didn’t believe for a second that he could restrain himself from touching her.

"You don’t believe me?" Adrian Lancaster broke the silence, his brow furrowed. "I’m telling you the truth."

Wren Sutton remained unmoved. "It’s your mouth. You can say whatever you want."

Adrian’s dark eyes deepened, and his face was taut with tension.

He had rarely ever taken the initiative to explain himself, yet she refused to believe him.

"What will it take for you to believe me?"

Wren pushed Adrian away, curling up in the corner by the headboard with her back to him, hugging her knees.

After a moment of silence, she laid everything bare.

"Maya Marshall told me herself that she’s pregnant with your child. She even showed me the pregnancy test report."

"..."

"If you never touched her, how could she be pregnant? You two even have a child on the way. How am I supposed to forgive you?"

Adrian Lancaster froze. Something inside him exploded, sharp fragments piercing his heart.

He never thought Maya Marshall would actually lie about something like this. It was too much.

’No wonder Wren Sutton was like a different person—so cold and distant, unwilling to be close to me.’

Adrian was furious. He swung his legs out of bed, preparing to go out.

He had to go and ask Maya himself. Why would she spout such nonsense, deceive Wren, and drive a wedge into their marriage?

"You get some sleep. I’ll be back in a bit."

Hearing the door close, the tension in Wren’s body finally eased.

She didn’t care where Adrian was going or who he was going to see. She got out of bed, walked out of the lounge, and bolted the main hospital room door shut.

...

「Meanwhile, in the inpatient building.」

Maya Marshall couldn’t sleep. Her mind was racing, imagining what Adrian Lancaster and Wren Sutton were doing right now. Were they having a massive fight? ’It’d be best if they started hitting each other.’

’Cheating on Adrian, having a baby in secret... Wren Sutton, you deserve to get beaten.’

The more Maya thought about it, the more excited she became. Her earlier disappointment and anger had vanished without a trace.

’When morning comes, Adrian will surely drag Wren Sutton to file for divorce. The Lancaster family would never accept a woman who cheated.’

Maya was so immersed in the joy of her victory that she even forgot about the pain in her body.

Just then, BANG! The door to her room was kicked open. Adrian Lancaster stormed in, looming over her bed.

Maya thought some lunatic was breaking into her room in the middle of the night and was about to curse them out. But then she saw it was Adrian Lancaster standing by her bed. Shocked, her expression changed in an instant. Her eyes reddened as she put on a soft, pitiful, and frightened act.

"Adrian, you scared me."

Adrian had no intention of comforting Maya. His dark, icy eyes were fixed on her. "Why did you lie and say you were pregnant with my child?"

Maya’s heart sank. She had a terrible feeling.

Adrian radiated a furious energy. He grabbed her chin roughly, his gaze colder and more disappointed than she had ever seen it.

"Your casual lie not only hurt Wren Sutton, but it also destroyed the relationship I have with my wife. Maya Marshall, when did you become so malicious?"

Maya froze. Her face instantly turned pale, and in her shock and panic, she forgot to control her expression. Her world came crashing down.

For the first time, she saw loathing and disgust for her in Adrian’s eyes.

She scrambled to explain. "You’ve misunderstood! It’s not what you think. I didn’t mean to say that. Wren Sutton provoked me, and in the heat of the moment, I just..."

Adrian gritted his teeth, suppressing his rage. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"So you admit it. Maya Marshall, you have disappointed me more than I can say."

If it weren’t for the fact that she was injured and had an amputation, he really would have slapped her.

Maya burst into tears, clinging to Adrian’s hand. "I was wrong, I’m sorry. Please don’t be angry, okay? I promise, I’ll never lie again."

A sudden thought struck Adrian. He violently shook her off, a frosty chill descending over his features. His eyes were dangerously terrifying.

"Now I seriously suspect that on the day of the Quinn family’s party, Wren Sutton didn’t push you. You jumped yourself to frame her."

Those words struck her like a bolt from the blue. Maya’s composure shattered, and she tried to hide her guilt behind heart-wrenching sobs.

"I didn’t frame anyone! It was Wren Sutton who pushed me! I’m begging you, please believe me."
