Chapter 185

Sitting on the bed now, her eyes widened for several seconds. 'This is the legendary womanizer who can change woman as quickly changing his pants. Should I believe him?'

Aghast, she can't help but be lost in a trnce. When she recovered, she took something from the bedside and threw it over her head. She just randomly threw things at James and the man avoided her attack entirely by instinctive avoidance.

He looked at this woman who's unreasonably bawling her eyes out. After watching her for a few seconds, he took away his clothes and strode towards the door.

"Hey!" Hussey looked at him and completely panicked. "What are you doing? James! Are you going to leave me so irresponsibly?"

'Responsible for? What is my responsibility? I obviously didn't do anything, what the fuck.'

As for Hussey, it seemed to her that she doesn't care about her now. He was scolded for no reason and left without stopping.

"James!"

The moment the door closed, Hussey couldn't help crying. She hugged herself tightly and was emotionally broken. 'What should I do now? I inexplicably mopped up like this and no one was responsible, right?'

At the Merchant Villa.

After the news came out, both Walker and Dana remained out-of-reach for how many days while there was a mess outside. Two days later, the man returned alone.

Meredith looked at the person standing alone at the door. Scanning around, he didn't see the girl's figure and questioned with dissatisfaction.

"Where is that girl?"

"I said long ago that I won't bring her over again."

Last time when Walker and Dana went home together, Harper released the hounds that usually kept in the villa. At that time, she almost threatened Dana's life, making Walker furious. Since then, he said that he will never let Dana come here again.

Meredith was angry in every possible way.

"What the hell is going on with you? Are you so fascinated by that incompetent girl to the point that you have the guts to deny your parents?"

The huge, luxurious and beautiful living room now has only two people. As a family full of businessmen, people tried so hard noty to cossed with them. The atmosphere is gloomy and suffocating, making his thin lips were pressed tightly into a straight line. The perfect curve of his jaw was pronounced and the towerin height of Walker stood quietly in place. Tall and straight, aloof, and with a sense of isolation, he looked calm but dangerous.

"You don't recognize her."

They don't recognize Dana and that's what made him resentful. how can tehy deny their daughter-in-law who did all the things just to please them? Even their grandson whose innocent are denied by them, so how couldn't he not resent them?

Dana stayed in the villa these days and didn't dare to go out. Yes, topics around her are on fire. Now that the whole world is full of news of her and Walker in the small forest that night, she couldn't help but feel asahmed.

Walking around on the balcony, she was deeply satisfied at the structure Herbert-Roosevelt Villa. In order to reflect their union, Walker named it after them. With a pond in front of the villa which is as big as five swimming pools combined and a magnificent ancient imperial-styled garden, it is truly captivating. A variety of rare varieties of lotus are adorned on it, particularly seen from the balcony of the master bedroom located on the third floor.

Wearing a white gauze skirt, she walked slowly up to it, and stroked her belly. Walker said that he'll go to the business. Since she can't go out alone today, she made herself entertained. Thinking of this, Dana felt that this whole day is so boring. Taking a book, she sat down on the balcony to read it for a while. As soon as she returned to the house, she heard her phone ringing.

Dana's instinctive guts walked over and lifted up,

"Hello?"

The other side was silent. Although nothing was said on the phone, she could still feel the gloom revealed in the silence. The girl's full lips slowly tightened and within two seconds, she heard the majestic and dignified female voice.

"Dana."

"Mrs. Herbert."

Dana heard a familiar voice.

"Walker will stay at home tonight and won't go back. Come out and meet me when you have time."

Even if she said if Dana have time, she knew what she trully meant. For this reason, she can hardly disagree and reasoned out that she has no time.

Indeed, she is a pregnant woman who is expecting to give birth. She doesn't need to study or work. If she is called by her husband's mother, she cannot refuse.

But no matter who it is, she can hear the urgency from her voice.

"Shall we meet alone?"

Dana answered in no hurry.

"His father has something to tell him."

The implication is she wants to see her alone. Dana doesn't want to accept it now, afraid that her baby's safety will be jeopardized.

Of course, Alicia isn't an easy woman to deal with. If she meets her alone, she's afraid of what will she do to make things difficult for her.

Pregnancy is a crucial moment. No matter who it is, Dana felt that it is necessary to discuss it with Walker first if she wants to meet alone.

"Then you ask me, does Walker know?"

Probably it was the girl's care that she missed the trap that made Alicia sneered. "Why, are you still afraid that I will harm you?"

"No, it's not like that. I just think that since you are his mother and I am his wife, even if we meet, he should have the right to know."

When Dana said these words, she didn't hesitate at all. Especially when it comes to the words 'his wife.' She is even more calm and unhurried, insisting on her own persistence.

Alicia was holding the phone tightly as her face was getting colder.

"You mean that I can only see you with his approval? Is that what you mean?"

The woman's sharp tone couldn't be constrained. Dana frowned in embarrassment and finally was confused.

"Then tell me what time we'll meet."

After answering her appointment, Dana immediately contacted Walker to explain the situation to him. Besides, she isn't a fool. To be safe, she also brought a driver and a personal assistant. The place where Alicia asked her to meet was a high-end coffee shop in Progress City. She heard that people with taste in the upper class likes to come here to drink coffee. Some coffee lovers and connoisseur also come here.

Dana got out of the car and walked in accordance with the agreed place. As soon as the door opened, she saw Alicia was already sitting there. Sure enough, she also brought two bodyguards with her. While drinking tea, Alicia fell on the personal assistant who came in with the woman behind her, and a sneer appeared on her lips.

"Before the wedding has been held, I will show the style of the businessman's wife."

"Must you bring bodyguards with you whenever you go out. Even when you see your elders, you have to show off your strength?"

Dana knew that since she came to see Alicia with a bodyguard, it would definitely make her uncomfortable. The girl walked over and sat down without expression, as her voice was neither overbearing nor proud, explaining calmly.

"Bringing a bodyguard is just my defence from worrying about encountering paparazzi on the road. I have no other meaning and no need to show off with you. Mrs. Herbert, I'm asking for your understanding."

Alicia looked at her and for the first time, she changed her mind a little. However, this change doesn't allow her to accept Dana at all. The middle-aged woman sneered, poured out the remaining coffee in the cup, and deliberately emphasized word by word.

"I've seen the latest news, too. Recently, Walker was involved in a shameful news with you. Although there must be an exaggeration in paparazzi's side, it still made a big impact on our business. By the way, Walker is suspended now."

Alicia looked at her with cold eyes.

"No one can change what he decides, so if you really love him and don't to ruin him, please leave my son alone."

It is a cliché line that usually said by the mother of a wealthy heir in the drama. 'If I really love him and don't want to ruin Walker, should I leave him?'

In Dana's impression, the romantic dramas that she watched from elementary school are this kind of routine. Rich male protagonists, wealthy mothers will use these words to drive away the poor and ordinary female protagonists. In the end, the female protagonist will go away and the male protagonist will be left heartbroken.

Picking up a cup of coffee, she took a sip, and looked out the window. Watching the outside scenery for a few seconds, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a while, Dana turned around.

"Is this what Walker meant?"

"This is what his dad and I want. It's a choice he will surely figure out in the future, and it's the only way out for you."

'Wow, what do you mean that thi is his future choices and my only way out?

She undoubtedly pushed her into a blind spot, leaving her with nowhere to go in the end.

With a sound, Dana put the cup back on the table. With her lips pursed, she tried tpo smile but neither joy nor anger can be seen. Just smiling blankly.

"Unless he personally came to break up with me, I would do so. I won't leave without him saying goodbye fist." Dana said, reaching for the bag next to her.

"Mrs. Herbert, this method of yours might have been applicable twenty years ago. In this society, most of the adult men and women have their independent say in life. There are not so many pros and cons to measure. Life is already very tiring in itself. Why should we give up pour happiness just because of all kinds of resistance from his family? We want to be together."

After Dana finished speaking, she smiled again and nodded to show respect.

"However, this is also my personal opinion. Mrs. Herbert, if there isn't anything else, then goodbye."

She said and left with her bag. However, as soon as she got up from the chair, the sneer of the woman behind her interrupted Dana's pace.

"Is it because of the money?"

Alicia sat there dignifiedly, coldly looking at Dana. With her lips curled, she stared at her mockingly.

Dana smiled without anger, turned around and looked at her.

"Mrs. Herbert, what do you mean?"

Alicia smiled without saying a word, and slowly straightened the towel on the table. With eyes casted down and a sneer, a kind of indescribable arrogance and contempt reeked out from her.

"They are all sensible people, there isn't anything to sell off."

As the cup of coffee was put down, Alicia looked at her with a smile while hiding the knife. Even if she was sitting, she looks dauntless.

"How much do you want to willingly leave Walker? One million or ten million?"

When Alicia said the last word, even the disguised smile disappeared. There wasn't anything but coldness as the expression in her eyes was full of boundless irony.

Provoked by her harsh attitude, Dana didn't want to be polite anymore. She narrowed her smile as contempt couldn't be contained anymore.

"Mrs. Herbert, do you want to use money to make me go away?"

"Isn't this exactly what you want?"

Dana sneered. "In your heart, is your son worth only ten million?"

As Dana said that, she slowly raised her head and a taunting smile became wider. "If I am really interested in money, wouldn't I even look down on ten million? After all, Walker is more than a hundred million."
