Claudia raised her hand to tug Tobias back. “It’s my birthday today. Don’t answer it, I’m sure your work Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
can wait.”
Tanya lifted her head to look at him and said considerately, “Tobias, you can just answer it here. We
won’t make a sound until you’re done.”
Tobias declined the call, not wanting to get into a dispute with his mother during her birthday celebration
because of a woman while his relatives were around.
Claudia was happy with his decision.
“When are you going to move back, Tobias?” Tanya inched closer to him, her honeyed voice grating on
his nerves.
While Claudia was chatting with their relatives, Tobias led Tanya out of the private room.
As Tanya got up, she cautiously guarded her belly with both hands.
Upon seeing the two of them leave, Tobias’ uncle asked, “No wonder the wedding’s been postponed.
Turns out his wife is pregnant. Why didn’t you share such wonderful news with us, Claudia?”
Claudia’s expression turned slightly embarrassed. How could I? Was I supposed to say that my son
doesn’t want to acknowledge his wife and unborn child?
If I did, my son would seem just like his b*stard of a father who discarded women like they were nothing.
Tobias turned to close the door behind him. He and Tanya were standing in the corridor, and the
expression on his face was sullen.
“So when are you going to leave?”
Tanya caressed her belly while standing mere inches away from Tobias. “Why should I leave? You
should come home once you’ve settled your mess outside. It’s time to concentrate on raising this child
together.”
If it weren’t for his self-restraint that kept him from laying a hand on a pregnant woman, he would have
slapped Tanya across the face by now.
He had seen all kinds of women over the years. It was just too unfortunate that his mother took a liking to
such a shameless one like Tanya.
“Do you really think I’ll put up with this forever? You should know better than anyone who that baby in
your belly belongs to.”
Tobias’ eyes burned with fury and his voice had a biting tone to it.
Tanya smiled as she thought about how her plan was still on track. Although the child does not belong to
Tobias, she would make it seem so.
To join the Ford family, sacrificing a child was nothing.
Once she gave birth to the child, she knew that Tobias would undoubtedly arrange for a paternity test.
Her previous attempt to fool him failed, so this child was her trump card to maintain her place in the Ford
family for the time being.
As for the baby, she could easily stage a miscarriage. Although she would be harming herself in the
process, it was worth it for the sake of her future.
Faced with an angered Tobias, she continued to insist, “Feel free to do a paternity test after the child is
born. Tobias, I don’t ask for you to love me. I would even accept your cheating ways, but please don’t
force me to leave your side. Let me take care of Mom.”
Tobias’ phone was vibrating incessantly at that moment. Due to his boiling anger, he whipped out his
phone irritably.
Tanya squinted her eyes and saw that the saved name on Tobias’ phone showed “ASkylar.”
He’s still with that woman. He even put the alphabet A in front of her name so that he can easily find her
contact number.
This is practically a public display of affection!
“Your mom and I have talked about Skylar before. She knows that Skylar’s the daughter of a murderer.
Do you really think your mother will accept someone like her?” Tanya feigned kindness as she calmly
reminded Tobias.
Tobias shot an icy glance at Tanya. If it weren’t for his mother’s health issue, this woman would never
have the nerve to act like this.
