Jacky laughed. "He's your elder brother, and ultimately your family. Didn't you say that he wouldn't hurt you? Since he won't hurt you, that must be him browbeating. Also, why can't I speak up for him? Do you want me and your older brother to be at loggerheads in the future?"
Deanna blinked and shook her head. "Of course I don't want to. But he doesn't like our baby. You are the baby's father. Shouldn't you be angry?"
"He thinks about this matter from the perspective of your family. To be honest, I understand him. If my sister had a child with a strange man without telling her family, then I would have gone ballistic. This is a very normal thing, it's nothing out of the ordinary. On the contrary, it proves one thing, that your brother really loves you."
Deanna blinked. "He is my brother. I just pretended to be angry with him, but I'm still worried that he will hurt our baby."
"Didn't you say that he didn't mention anything about terminating the pregnancy? This time, I will make it clear to him and make him promise that he won't hurt the baby. You should believe that he loves you."
Jacky had already believed that Zorion's original intention was not to harm Deanna. Perhaps, this was a trap lying in wait. Zorion might want the gravity of the situation to be known to everyone.
As the daughter of the Whalen family, she could not leave a stain.
Deanna nodded. "My brother loves me."
"Let's go. We have other things to do. Can't stay here for too long."
Jacky stood up and put Deanna down. He began to prepare the clothes that she needed to wear. He had also prepared a couple more loose clothes so that her belly wouldn't be too obvious.
Actually, nobody could tell that she was pregnant, but Jacky still prepared some suitable clothes for her.
"Take good care of yourself, eat well, dress well, and sleep well. Can you promise me that?" Jacky held Deanna's hand while asking her. She nodded. "I promise."
"Let's go then."
Jacky turned around and went down the stairs. Holding Deanna's hand, he led her downstairs.
There was no other soul in Raeleigh's house. At that time, except for the two servants, only Jacky and Deanna were present. Scarlette was also there sitting downstairs, spending the whole night on tenterhooks.
Seeing Jacky coming down, Scarlette rose to her feet. She knew that even though the date of her labor was still further in the future, her belly was already ballooning and she should not skip breakfast.
This was why when she saw Jacky, she said, "Let's dig in."
Jacky thought for a moment. "Scarlette, I haven't known you for a long time, but you should have noticed the current situation. It's somewhat abnormal. Someone is planning to fight against the Richards family and the Whalen family, but I think they are targeting the Richards family first, and then the Whalen family. If I want to protect the Whalen family, then I must also support the Richards family. So, I'm going to send Deanna back now, but I'm worried about it. Zorion is her brother, and he will protect her. But if something really happens, then Zorion also has Rossie to take care of, which means that he might have no time to care about Deanna. If someone wants to kidnap Deanna again, then the situation might get ugly."
Scarlette thought for a moment. "I understand. You want to keep tabs on Deanna, but she might be grounded, and her phone confiscated. Are you asking me to follow her and report back to you?"
"Are you willing to do me this favor?"
"Even if I don't promise you, you'll still tell Santiago. When the time comes, I'll still have to do Santiago's bidding and act as Deanna's chaperone. It's better for me to claim that Hadrian has no time, and no one will take care of me, so Deanna and I will act as each other's company."
She was not a fool. She knew everything.
