Malcolm...came?
Luna's entire body stiffened when she heard the servants' conversation.
The servant said Malcolm had heard that she was pregnant, so he came to admit his wrongdoing.
With all the rumors swirling around, it seemed as though the child in her belly was Malcolm's.
However...
Luna knew it better than anyone that this child belonged to Joshua.
On top of that, when she reached Merchant City, Malcolm's legs had already been injured in his accident. The two of them could not have slept together at all, so what was Malcolm thinking, and why did he come?
"What does Luna's pregnancy have anything to do with Malcolm? What is he trying to admit to?" Jim’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he glanced at Luna. Then, he turned and looked toward the door.
"Do you think he will say that the child is his? The timing is not possible. Besides, how long has he been crippled?"
Jim’s words made Charles frown. He then gave Jim a stern look and said, "So what if he is crippled? Six
years ago when you were weak, didn't you sleep with another woman and bring the child home too?"
Having been prod with his weakness, Jim did not say anything in response.
Heather pretended to sigh in lament and said, "I always thought this child in Luna’s belly is Joshua’s. Who would have thought it was Malcolm's. This must mean that the two of them can get married immediately. It's only been a month since she found out about the pregnancy. If we claim that the child is preterm when she gives birth, then no one will find out that she had gotten pregnant before marriage."
Heather deliberately emphasized the words, 'pregnant before marriage.’
The color drained from Charles' face.
In the past, Lucy, too, had gotten pregnant before marriage, and when he had married her, she was already five months along.
