No Wife, No Life Chapter 145

Caden hesitated and carefully weighing his words.

Ultimately, Caden was someone who valued his own interests more.

If he chose to walk away now, Harper wouldn't have anything to say.

She didn't want to face his accusations, complaints, or even resentment in the future, so ending things here seemed like the best outcome.

She could forge ahead on her own and lived a fulfilling life independently.

Suddenly, Harper felt a gentle touch on her head, and she was enveloped in Caden's embrace.

He sighed softly and whispered in her ear, "Harper, open your eyes and look at me."

Harper's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Her gaze met Caden's, deep and serious.

"Harper, did you say all this because you care about me?"

"I think you did. But, Harper, why can't you trust me a bit more? I chose you because I want to choose you."

"Everything between you and Alex is in the past. You are amazing, and you deserve the best in the world. I'm incredibly lucky to have you, and I'm really happy."

Harper's eyelashes continued to tremble slightly.

Caden went on, "Harper, to me, you are the best."

"Don't worry about those things. I promise I can treat him as my own child. Whether we have children in the future or not, he will be the heir to the Elikin family. I won't have any bias against him. No, I will favor him even more."

"This is my promise to you."

His eyes looked deeply into hers, his voice low and carried by the night wind, reaching far and wide. "Do you trust me?"

Harper reminded, "I understand what you mean, but this is still Alex's child."

"So what? I don't care." He looked straight into her eyes, pulling her tightly into his arms.

Through his shirt, she could even feel his heartbeat, seemingly a bit erratic.

"Harper, no matter what, we can't be apart." His tone was sincere, leaving no room for doubt.

In a moment of emotion, he kissed her again.

His voice was a bit hoarse, almost like a whisper.

"Harper, I've said so much. Think it over carefully. Once you understand, don't say such things again."

Involuntarily, she responded softly.

But Caden said seriously, "You don't have to answer me now. Tell me when you've made up your mind. For now, let me take you home."

So, he drove his exclusive sports car and dropped her off at her apartment, only leaving after seeing her safely inside.

Once Harper entered her apartment, she suddenly felt very calm.

She sat down on the couch, lowered her eyes, and carefully considered what Caden had said.

Her relationship with Caden indeed required serious thought, as it was a lifelong matter.

The baby seemed to sense her thoughts, causing a slight pain in her abdomen.

She remembered that tomorrow was another check-up day.

She calculated the days and realized she was about three months pregnant.

Soon, it would be impossible to hide her pregnancy. She needed to make a decision quickly.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Harper went to Serenity Health Center for a full check-up.

Soon, Frank came over with the test results.

"Not bad, your health is improving well, but you still need some more time to recuperate. I'll prescribe some more medication for you."

Frank handed the test results to Harper and wrote a prescription.

Harper's complexion had indeed improved a lot.

In the past, while working at the Lavien Group, Harper frequently burned the midnight oil, exhausting her body to the brink of collapse.

Now, Caden naturally wouldn't let her stay up late.

Thinking about it this way, it wasn't so bad after all.After saying goodbye to Frank, Harper walked out alone.

Just then, she received a call from Peyton.

She sat down on a bench in the hallway, placed the test results on the seat next to her, and answered the call.

Peyton called to discuss the financial summit.

Of course, HoloSphere Technologies was also participating in the summit and had prepared some projects they hoped to win.

On the call, Peyton reported on this matter.

During the conversation, Harper gave her suggestions to ensure the projects would be successfully awarded.

After arranging the work, she hung up the phone, only to feel a large shadow fall over her.

She looked up and saw a pair of deep, cold eyes.

It was Alex, holding her test results.

The report clearly stated that she was three months pregnant.

Harper felt a shiver run through her body.

She immediately sensed the air around her becoming tense.

"Whose child is it?"

His voice was cold, filled with a heavy chill.

"Harper, whose is it?" His face was stern, exuding an oppressive aura.

"We've been divorced for two months, yet you're three months pregnant. Tell me, whose child is it?" He grabbed Harper's wrist tightly, as if afraid she would escape.

Even when he saw her wince in pain and frown, he didn't care.

He just wanted to know whose child it was.

After all, they hadn't divorced yet at that time.

If the child was his, he wouldn't let Harper off so easily.

At this moment, he was extremely anxious. He seemed to have forgotten what he had told Harper before, "Harper, we won't have children!"

He didn't care anymore.

If the child was his, he would bring her back, no matter the cost. He would keep her by his side, even if it meant locking her up.

"Harper, tell me, whose child is it?"

His gaze was cold, staring straight at her, not allowing her to dodge.

She looked up at him, a mocking smile on her lips. "Does it matter whose child it is? Have you forgotten, Mr. Lavien? We're divorced. The child won't belong to you; it will only be mine."

Harper tried to pull her hand back, but his grip tightened, making it impossible to resist.

His eyes were shap; his tone more dangerous. "Harper, what are you afraid of? You're lying. You must tell me whose child it is."

He now thought, 'if the child is mine, I will never let Harper go again.'

The Lavien family's child should only stay in the Lavien family. If Harper was carrying his child, she had to be his wife.

Through his cold eyes, Harper saw her own evasion.

But why should she be afraid?

Why did she perceive the concealed hatred in his eyes?

Alex had always been the betrayer in this relationship. Why did it seem like she was the one who did something wrong, like she was the sinner?

Because of the child, should she just give in?

She bit her lower lip, her tone icy. "If the child was yours, why would I divorce you? In fact, the child is Caden's."
