Chapter 255 Secretly Giving Birth (Extra)

Evelyn thought that Alyssa’s dad was different from Louis’ dad in terms of the joy they brought.

She added, “After all, they have the same mother; both the brother and sister resemble you.”

Deborah could tell that Evelyn was a bit indecisive, which is why she changed the subject to talk about

Alyssa and Louis’ situation.

She walked to the living room and sat on the couch. Evelyn was carrying Louis in her arms. As she

engaged in playful interaction with him, she took a seat beside Deborah.

Louis was already over five months old. Now that it was winter and the temperature was low, if he fell

asleep outside, he would be wrapped in swaddling clothes.

But now, he was wide awake, held upright by Evelyn, his round eyes especially alert as

he looked around at this unfamiliar environment.

The little one was dancing around, extremely excited, and babbling away, not knowing

what they were saying.

Evelyn coaxed him, “Louis, call me Aunt Evelyn. Aunt. Evelyn.”

Curiously, Louis stared at her as she spoke, and before long, he began nibbling on her

hand affectionately.

Evelyn looked at the child with growing fondness, “I’ve wanted to hold him like this for

a long time. You have no idea, back at Moxley Manor, I didn’t even dare to hold him.”

Deborah laughed and said, “What’s there to be afraid of? If you speak up, I’m sure my parents and

brother won’t fight with you over it.”

Although everyone in the Moxley family liked Louis, they all eagerly wanted to hold

him. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Everyone treats Evelyn as the daughter-in-law of the Moxley family. They are afraid that she might feel

wronged if she lives with her in-laws, so they have always been

particularly accommodating to her.

Evelyn sighed, “Every time I hold a baby, Mrs. Moxley and Old Mrs. Moxley always say

that I love children and should have one with Adrian. But…”

Her voice halted, and she didn’t continue speaking.

She and Adrian are not in a relationship where they can have children.

But now, it’s finally here.

Louis was held by Evelyn for a while before he began to wave his little hands, reaching out toward

Deborah.

Deborah reached out, taking him by the arm, her expression puzzled. “I didn’t expect you to be so

patient. Your issue with me and Adrian, that happened several months ago, right?

He treated you like that, but you didn’t confront him right away. I can’t believe you put up with him for so

long.”

Deborah still remembers when Simone was abused by Damian and fought for a divorce.

Evelyn was exceptionally filled with outrage. Not only did she help with the divorce

litigation, but she also wished she could personally act as Simone’s attorney.

Her temperament has never been one to swallow her pride and let things go easily.

Just like Mona, everything must be dealt with fairly.

Evelyn was silent for quite a while before she finally responded, “Deborah, how do 1

deal with Adrian?”

Deborah paused for a moment and said, “Of course, you can do whatever you want. You

can scold him, beat him, or even sue him directly. You’re in the right, so where can he

run?”

Evelyn asked casually, “So, back then, why didn’t you sue Ashton?”

Wit

Without hesitation, Deborah replied, “It was different for me back then. I couldn’t beat

him, and even with all the evidence in my hands, no one would believe me. Filing a

lawsuit was useless, as I couldn’t even find a defense attorney.”

t

At that time, with Ashton’s capabilities, not to mention the entire Richmond, but the

whole country.

Which lawyer dared to represent Deborah in a lawsuit against Ashton?

None.

She tried at first, but later the facts proved that there wasn’t even a single lawyer willing to meet with

her.

Evelyn was very composed. There were times when she could be impulsive and carefree, but when

she truly calmed down, she could see things more clearly than most people.

“Deborah, I’m just like you were back then. There’s no way a lawyer would take my case and go up

against your family.

As for the public, I said I got drunk and ended up in Adrian’s bed, and then he touched me. Who would

believe me? Others might even say that I took advantage and then tried. to blame him.”

Ever since that night, she had been pondering over this question.

At first, she was impulsive and furious, even wanting to confront Adrian and fight him.

Before that, she had acted alongside Adrian, and she couldn’t deny that she had indeed developed

feelings for him.

His external conditions were top-notch, and when he was with her, although he liked to take advantage

verbally, he actually had good manners and always took care of her.

But that night, all that was left for her afterwards were humiliation and anger.

There was no choice but to suffer in silence. If she spoke up, not a single person would

stand up for her, except for Deborah.

She could make a fuss, but it wouldn’t have much of an impact on Adrian.

Instead, it would cause great harm to her own family and the Moore family.

Deborah said defiantly, “Go ahead and confront Adrian if you want, do whatever you

think is best.

Don’t say things like that. My parents and Grandma would never be able to protect him. Even if they

did, Joseph and I would find a way to help you get your revenge.”

She used to think that Adrian and Evelyn were quite a good match.

Now knowing that he actually took advantage of people’s vulnerability, Deborah

couldn’t help but feel that she had completely misjudged him.

Evelyn didn’t want to say more, so she stood up with a smile, “Alright, alright, why the serious face?

That’s all in the past, and I’ve long stopped caring about it. Even without this child, I’ll still be able to live

my life as usual.”

After much difficulty, Deborah finally connected with the Moxley family, gaining a loving family and a

happy, fulfilling life of her own.

At this point, it wasn’t worth it to have a falling out with the Moxley family and her own brother Adrian

over Evelyn’s matters.

Over the years, Evelyn has watched Deborah go through life, knowing how difficult it

has been for her and Joseph to come this far.

She finally had a perfect ending to her journey, and she couldn’t afford any more twists

and turns.

Evelyn went straight to the kitchen and continued speaking, “I’m hungry since it’s so late. I’ll cook, and

you can come over here for dinner tonight.”

Deborah, holding Louis, got up and followed to the kitchen door.

She looked at Evelyn’s retreating figure and said, “Child, have you really thought it through? Are you

sure you don’t want it? If not, I can connect you with the best gynecologist.”

Evelyn opened the refrigerator, took out some vegetables, and paused upon hearing

something.

Upon seeing it, Deborah immediately understood.

She calmly continued, “However, I remember you mentioned before that you didn’t

want to get married, but you wanted to have a child. Abortion can be harmful to your body; have you

considered keeping the baby?”

Evelyn indeed reacted, turning around to glance at her. “Even if I think that way, when

the child is born, can it be mine?”

Adrian is the child’s father, and there are so many elders in the Moxley family who especially love

children.

Once the child is born, I’m afraid there won’t be enough for the Moxley family members

to share.

As for Evelyn, if she doesn’t marry into the Moxley family, she probably shouldn’t even hope to catch a

glimpse of the child.

It’s easy to recall that night when Adrian took advantage of her drunken state and made

his move. The knot in her heart could never be untied because of that.

If it weren’t for that night, if she really had to marry someone, she had thought about it,

Adrian would be an option.

Deborah took a few steps closer and said, “If you want to stay, I’ll help you.”

Evelyn laughed, “You’ll help me? Help me fight a lawsuit to take the child from your family?”

Deborah looked at her and said, “There’s no need to worry about the child. I’ll go with you to the

hospital tomorrow to have an abortion. We’ll just say the child is gone, and I guarantee everything will

be watertight.”

A hint of hesitation appeared on Evelyn’s face, making her seem a bit shaken.

Deborah knew best just how much this woman loved children.

From the moment Louis was born, she immediately endured the pain and spent a fortune to have a

bracelet and lucky charm custom-made for him.

She eagerly became the first godmother, and besides feeding the baby, she wanted to help with

everything.

Moreover…

Over the past year, Deborah could tell whether or not Evelyn had feelings for Adrian.

Evelyn couldn’t bear to give up on this child, but because of that unresolved issue, she found it hard to

accept Adrian.

Deborah continued, “Don’t worry. If I say I’ll take care of it for you, I’ll definitely take care of it. Besides,

you have anemia, so it’s likely that you can’t have an abortion

anyway.”

After hesitating for quite a while, Evelyn finally said with uncertainty, “You promise

a

that Adrian won’t find out?”

Deborah nodded her head with full confidence, saying, “I promise.”

That night, she stayed with Louis at Evelyn’s place.

Joseph couldn’t see his wife and kids anymore, and he was furious. He confronted Adrian, “Your wife

left you, but can you stop always going to my wife Debby for comfort?”

The next morning, Deborah accompanied Evelyn to the hospital.
