It did not make sense. Zorion was also mystified by her pregnancy.
Returning upstairs, Zorion called his two nephews over. He took out a few boxes of condoms from the nightstand and asked them, "What's going on?"
The two children exchanged looks, as though they were considering whether to tell the truth.
Zorion became serious. "If you guys don't tell me, I'll check the surveillance footage later."
"We poured them out and punctured them with needles," Cedric answered. Zorion paused for a moment and asked with a strange look on his face, "Who told you to do that?"
Zorion had to get to the bottom of this. Otherwise, Rossie would misunderstand and think that he taught the two children to do it on purpose. That would be troublesome.
Rossie was lying on the bed. She was just fine, but they had made a big deal out of it and the entire
Whalen family took her as an important person who needed protection.
Zorion also called the two children over and she was aware of why he was doing this. He wanted her to know that it had nothing to do with him apart from contributing the sperm.
"When we saw them that day, we took them out to play with them. There was a needle over there. We put one of them on the finger and pricked it. Later, we found the pricking sound funny, so we continued to prick them more."
Heitor explained. The two children appeared to be amusing in Rossie's eyes and she chuckled while listening to their words.
Rossie stretched out her hand to take over the box of condoms. She glanced at Zorion and opened it. True enough, there were holes on all the condoms.
"Let's just forget it. However, don't tell anyone about it. If you do, Uncle Zorion may be even more upset."
He had hid it from everyone else and had promised her not to impregnate her within five years. The purpose of him questioning these two naive children was to give her an explanation.
That said, they hoped the outsiders would not know that he did not persist in this relationship. She had always been the dominant one in this relationship.
Even if he was not given any chance to decide anything, Zorion was still willing to do it.
Although Zorion and Deanna had different views and behavior in their relationships, they were both passive. They could give up everything for the one they loved, including their dignity.
Rossie was not a cold-hearted person. She was aware of that he had done for her. With all the love and concern he had lavished on her, it would be enough to touch a stone, let alone a person.
The two children nodded vigorously. Rossie said, "This is a secret between the four of us. Go now, I will placate your uncle later so that he won't go to your dad."
Upon hearing this, the two children turned and left at once. At usual times, their uncle wore a condescending demeanor and was pretty fierce to their father.
The two children ran away. Zorion looked at the doorway briefly before looking at Rossie.
"The baby..."
"I will give birth to it and the baby can take your last name, but..."
"But what?"
"You have to marry me."
When Zorion went downstairs to announce that he was going to get married, Deanna looked up at him and said glumly, "Why are you allowed to get married for the sake of the baby when I've been forbidden? If you can get married, then I want to get married too. Otherwise, I won't let you do it. Don't argue that I haven't discussed it with you, I did have a discussion with you. Give me my household registration book or you can't get married either."
No one paid attention to Deanna. They completely ignored what she said. Everyone sat down together. Hannah was on cloud nine and she told Zorion, "You don't have to worry about the marriage. I will handle it with your father. However, you have to decide on a wedding date. I think you should get your marriage certificate first."
"Okay mom."
Deanna was baffled. Was she adopted? Why were they like this?
She went upstairs furiously. She wasn't going to come down anymore. They were bullying her.
At night, Jacky took his clothes off and went to bed. He wrapped his arms around Deanna's slim waist and was ready to do business with her.
Deanna was depressed. "I want to move out. I don't want to stay in this house anymore."
