Chapter 84

Fanny's pov

"You mean Emos accepted you back?" I stood up with joy, unable to believe what I was hearing. "How could this child come so quickly? It's so amazing! So I am going to be a grandmother soon! That's great! This is really good news!"

While I was so excited, I suddenly realized a problem. "But did not you say that Emos took protective measures later? Then how is it possible that the baby is pregnant? Or... Did not you take protective measures later?"

Ashley touched her belly and said softly, "It does not matter if he did or not. As long as Emos believes the baby is his."

"What?" The smile on her face froze. I sensed there was a hidden meaning in her words. "Is this child... not Emo's?"

The smile at the corners of Ashley's mouth deepened. "Mom, you do not have to worry about that. I am here to tell you that with this child, I must have a way to save you. Now it's just a temporary grief for you. I can not do anything about it. I have to wait for the opportunity."
