Gracie certainly knew that Corey was watching her, but she didn't care. All along, the man in her mind had always been Gregory, which was why she remained indifferent upon learning that Corey's heart belonged to someone else.
Back then, if it hadn't been for helping Gregory obtain the Foley family's secrets, she wouldn't have bothered to get close to such a foolish and arrogant man.
Did he really think she would degrade herself to use a child to bind him into marrying her? It was only because she had been injured during the mission and had already hurt her body, making her unable to bear the risk of an abortion.
Upon learning that she was accidentally pregnant, Gracie also wanted to terminate the pregnancy. It's just that the doctor advised her that if she insisted on having an abortion, she might never be able to conceive again in the future.
For various reasons, she could only keep the disobedient bastard.
As her words fell, not only Kelvin, but Sam himself also paused in astonishment, turning his head to look at the red figure in the rain curtain. Since he could remember, when he was very young, it was Aunt Gracie who accompanied him to eat, took him to school, and taught him various knowledge.
He called Gracie "Aunt," but in his heart, he regarded her as "mother," even though he knew his mother was someone else.
How could Aunt Gracie be his birth mother?
Adrian stepped forward and confirmed that Gracie's words were not lies, explaining, "Yes, Gracie is your birth mother, Master Sam."
"When she gave birth to you at the age of seventeen, it was a matter of life and death. She almost died on the delivery bed. I used the Edwards family's needle technique to save you."
This was also one of the reasons why Adrian's status in the Lucas family was higher than that of ordinary people.
Gracie bit her red lip, suddenly feeling unable to look at Sam. For so many years, only she knew how much she longed for him to call her "Mom." But she couldn't.
She had been an orphan since she was young, and it was the Lucas family that took her in and gave her a meal to eat. Before the old master of the Lucas family passed away, he brought her to Gregory and solemnly told her, "From now on, he is your master, and more importantly, your lifesaver."
"Yes."
The first time she saw Gregory was at the training camp. Despite being a young master, he worked harder than anyone during training. The first time she went on a mission, she almost died in a secret chamber, and it was Gregory who risked his own life to carry her out of the chamber.
When she was bullied, that bright and clear young man descended into her world like a deity.
She knew that this young man would be her master in the future, and her entire body and soul would belong to him.
At the age of fifteen, Gracie gave her body to him. They were inseparable partners on the field and, in formal occasions, she was his secretary. In private, she was his most obedient lover.
At sixteen, she discovered she was pregnant. By then, the twenty-five-year-old Gregory was about to marry.
Gracie never thought about leaving him, so she wanted to abort the child. Somehow the news leaked, and Gregory hurried back to stop her.
He asked her to give birth to the child, to wait, and he would give her an explanation.
In less than a year, his wife died.
The reason-dystocia.
And Gracie was able to openly stay by Sam's side and watch him grow, even though all he could call her was "Aunt."
