Chapter 317

"Barbara told me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that you went to see Winnie. Lawrence, you could have gone to the hospital to get treated, but you chose to go to her. Have you forgotten? Both of you are getting divorced next month, and I will be your wife! It's ridiculous that I foolishly stayed in the room last night, taking care of Sidney, while you were entangled with his mommy. I was so heartbroken that I wanted to die."

"I'm sorry, Darcy!"

Lawrence weakly apologized. Last night, when Sidney fell ill, he came to Darcy's room. The small family...

After a night of turmoil, he listened to the servant's report. Consequently, he felt even more guilty because he had been indulging himself with Winnie...

Darcy looked at the man resentfully. Besides saying this, he didn't know how to come and hug her, to comfort her.

Why was he so reluctant to be close to her?

Frustrated in his heart, Darcy walked over and softly leaned into his embrace. "Lawrence, please stop doing this. Don't give her another chance, okay?

It's obvious that she has impure motives and wants to seduce you, using it as an opportunity to humiliate me. You can't fall for it."

Lawrence's eyes grew dim as he thought about what that woman had said - that last night was just a one-time thing. He felt a slight twinge in his heart.

Looking down at Darcy in this vulnerable state, he also felt sorry for her.

He was the one who made the mistake after all, as Jeremy had said-he was scum.

He didn't know how he had ended up like this. Originally, his heart was calm as still water, ready to marry Darcy. But ever since Winnie had come back, everything gradually spiraled out of control.

"There won't be another time, Darcy. I'm sorry, I couldn't help it last night," Lawrence gently wiped away her tears.

But there were five condoms used throughout the night!

Darcy could only say, "It was Barbara's fault. She gave you milk to drink. Ultimately, I am also responsible.

Lawrence, I feel so uneasy! Please give me a child soon, or should we go for artificial means?

We can even have twins. Don't you regret having only one Sidney? Once I get pregnant, we can conveniently get married next month..."

She took the opportunity to ask for a promise.

However, Lawrence didn't accommodate her this time, thinking about how Sidney had been bullied under her care recently.

If they had another child, she would be even less concerned about Sidney. Lawrence doted on his son.

"I understand that you're anxious about having a child, but I promise you, we will officially announce our engagement as soon as possible, letting the whole town know. You can also start looking for wedding gowns," the man said, taking a roundabout approach.

Darcy paused for a moment. Did he start to resent the idea of having a child with her?

He couldn't possibly know about the existence of that 'Oscar', and she couldn't let him find out!

If he discovered that the other child hadn't died, he might forgive Winnie, and that would be disastrous...

With a tangled mess in her heart, Darcy had to take care of the hidden dangers before they realized what was happening.

She didn't say anything further at the moment, only sweetly replied, "Then I'll choose the best wedding gown. I'll personally oversee the wedding planning and the selection of the engagement ring."

"Everything will be up to you," Lawrence said absentmindedly. Marriage was what he had promised Darcy.

As for that woman, Winnie, she was carefree and nonchalant. Thinking about it, his mood became even colder.

"Mr. Rodriguez, Winnie splashed dirty water on me. I'll go change my clothes. Let's head back to Lymington today, okay?" Darcy released him with a pitiable look.

"She threw water at you?" Lawrence immediately grasped the crux of the matter, his handsome face growing cold.

"Yeah, this morning at her doorstep. She was unreasonable and publicly humiliated me with the details of your night together. I just can't..."

"She looked at Darcy, who was injured.

"You should go change your clothes first," Lawrence instructed the servant to assist her into the bathroom.

He turned around, frowned, and after a moment's thought, couldn't help but make a phone call.

At this moment, Winnie was signing a contract with the raw materials company, and without Lawrence's instructions to hinder her, her negotiations were very successful.

After leaving the summit venue, it was not yet nine o'clock, and she was planning to find Olivia.

He had heard that Jeremy had also come here, and she was scared to death, preparing to flee with Mia.

Her phone rang, and she thought it was Olivia, so she answered without looking, "Hello?"

"Is your body still in pain?" The deep, magnetic voice of a man came through.

Winnie paused, took off her phone and glanced at the caller ID, and after realizing what the bastard man was asking, her face turned slightly red.

How long was his reflex arc? Why didn't he know she was in pain in the morning?

Winnie hated him with all her heart and felt a mix of emotions. "Mr. Rodriguez, I'm in pain, so can you chemical neuter me?"

"..." Lawrence's face turned pale in an instant.

Why couldn't he help but care about this damn woman? Now, every word could choke him.

Lawrence's face turned cold, returning to the point and challenging, "I warned you not to provoke Darcy with what happened last night, but why did you have to make things difficult for her?

You rejected my compensation, turned around and caused trouble for Darcy. What do you want to do?"

Winnie was stunned for a moment, almost bursting into laughter.

So he made this phone call, not really to care about her. It's ridiculous that she was a little confused just now.

In the core of his words, he wanted to stand up for Darcy again.

Winnie rolled her eyes directly. "Mr. Rodriguez, are you using your brain? I caused trouble for her at my own doorstep?

Spend some money and let Miss Ordelia learn some fighting skills, don't be so stingy. She can't beat me, but I'm not allowed to fight back.

Just crying to tattle on you. Get lost. You came to sleep with me, and your woman came to cause me trouble. Do I owe you all?!"

Winnie hung up the phone without a good temper.

"How dare you curse at me..." a certain man looked at the disconnected phone, his face turned black with anger.

Dare to hang up on his call? Three years ago, she wasn't like this, she was so soft and easy to pinch.

Now she had become eloquent. Lawrence pinched the vein on his forehead, his tall figure leaned against the wall, and it was so difficult to say a word to her.

Damn it, if her attitude was a little better, his tone wouldn't be so harsh.

"Mr. Rodriguez, I bought the external ointment!" Bryan hurriedly ran over, holding a bag.

Lawrence glanced at it and irritably said, "Throw it away!"

"Huh? Wasn't this bought for Miss Anderson?" Bryan knew about it too. Lawrence was drugged last night and had intercourse with Miss Anderson. He searched through countless pharmacies before finding these ointments.

"Who said they were for her?" Lawrence glared at him with an unpleasant expression.

"Come on, you yourself said to buy all women's products." We're all adults, and Mr. Rodriguez clearly cares about Miss Anderson.

Lawrence's gaze turned cold. "Remove all the twisted thoughts from your mind and don't associate them with her!"

"..." Bryan was also at a loss. So, should he give the medicine or not?

Winnie met up with her son Oscar in Olivia's room.

Olivia was busy packing. "Winnie, I'll take Mia back to Lymington first to avoid any other troubles."

Winnie had some finishing work at the summit and needed to talk with Alan.

She understood Olivia's concerns. In such a big hotel, as long as the child didn't leave, the chances of encountering Jeremy were very small.

Moreover, Jeremy might have already left?
