Chapter 373: Chapter 373

Due to an unexpected physical discomfort, Rose was sent to the hospital.

After a thorough examination, the doctor discovered that Rose... was pregnant.

It’s quite a coincidence, Paige Sterling put Skylar Hughes in jail, and Skylar ended up pregnant.

Now she’s put Rose in jail, and Rose is pregnant as well.

However, Paige Sterling is completely unaware of this.

Paige is quite bewildered.

She’s actually pregnant; how could she be pregnant? Whose child is it? She has no recollection at all.

No matter how hard she tries to understand, one morning she wakes up to find she’s no longer in the hospital but in a small apartment.

She feels a bit confused, where is this?

How did she end up here?

At this moment, the door creaks open, and a man walks in.

Rose widens her eyes at the man, her eyes filled with wild joy afterwards.

Because that man is Austin Xavier.

"Young Master Xavier, did you rescue me!?"

Indeed, Young Master Xavier still cares about her, rescuing her from that terrifying place.

Rose, overcome with emotion, wants to get off the bed and throw herself into Austin Xavier’s arms, expressing her love.

Yet seeing Austin Xavier’s cold gaze, she doesn’t dare, just stiffly sits on the bed.

Summer Xavier pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "I submitted the paperwork and temporarily bailed you out."

Rose, with red eyes, says, "Young Master Xavier, thank you, you’ve been so good to me, I can never repay you for being your servant. Please, let me stay by your side and take care of you, alright?"

Austin Xavier’s eye twitches slightly, "Do you know whose child you’re carrying?"

Rose’s face instantly freezes, Austin Xavier didn’t say he wanted her to stay, but instead asked whose child she was carrying.

It’s over, Young Master Xavier knows she’s pregnant with someone else’s child, he’ll definitely be angry.

What can she do to prevent Young Master Xavier from misunderstanding her as an immoral girl?

"Young Master Xavier, I really don’t know about the child. I’m sure someone has set me up; I will abort the child, Young Master, I will surely abort the child. I don’t child at all..."

Austin Xavier sneered and said gloomily, "What if I say the child is Julian Hawthorne’s?"

What? Julian? The Hawthorne Group’s Julian Hawthorne?

Is the child she’s carrying really Julian Hawthorne’s?

How could that be possible?

"If it’s Julian Hawthorne’s, what would you do?" Austin Xavier asked again.

Rose instinctively followed Austin Xavier’s words and began to think.

She remembers how she braved a rainy night to find Julian Hawthorne, hoping he’d appreciate her talents and invest in her project...

But Julian Hawthorne coldly and heartlessly handed her over to the police.

She remembers the lofty Paige Sterling, who got a man like Julian Hawthorne, and still wants to snatch Austin Xavier.

Furthermore, Paige Sterling looks down on her, even getting her thrown into jail...

If this child is Julian Hawthorne’s, it could be a fatal blow to Paige Sterling.

Look, how arrogant can you be? The woman pregnant with your husband’s child is not you, but me.

Moreover, Rose also thought of a problem, Paige Sterling and Julian Hawthorne have been together long enough, right?

Yet despite that, Paige Sterling still isn’t pregnant, maybe Paige Sterling simply can’t conceive.

Thus, the child in her belly is The Hawthorne Family’s precious baby, heir to Julian Hawthorne’s vast fortune; can she abort it?

Of course not, no matter how much she loves Austin Xavier.

She should seize this opportunity to have two wealthy men orbit around her, feeling like life is reaching its climax.

But Rose is merely imagining it, she’s quite sure she hasn’t had any encounter with Julian Hawthorne, how could she have Julian Hawthorne’s child?

Such an easily exposed lie, what awaits her might be Paige Sterling’s even colder revenge.

Right, she can’t be blinded; this is just Austin Xavier testing her. Fınd the newest release on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽

"Young Master Xavier, you know I have feelings for you; regardless of whose child it is, I won’t keep it!"

Austin Xavier directly tosses a video to Rose.

Rose curiously starts watching the video.

The video begins with her unconscious being wheeled into an operating room, where doctors were performing some unknown surgery...

But when did this happen? She has no recollection.

Rose feels quite bewildered.

"Young Master Xavier, what does this mean?"

Austin Xavier, with a blank face, spoke a cruel truth.

"Three months ago, my people took you to the hospital for artificial insemination."

Rose widens her eyes.

Austin Xavier actually did artificial insemination on her without her knowledge?

What is he trying to do?

Of course, Rose wouldn’t consider others; she believed in her charm enough to think it might be Austin Xavier’s.

Does Austin Xavier hope she can give birth to their child?

If a self-respecting girl encountered this, she’d probably want to perish with Austin Xavier.

After all, Austin Xavier’s actions showed complete disrespect for her.

Yet Rose thinks differently; she’s not angry but moved to tears, looking at Austin Xavier.

"Young Master Xavier, rest assured, I won’t let you down. About this child, I..."

Austin Xavier knew what Rose would say next, growing somewhat impatient with a hint of cruelty in his tone.

"That egg belongs to Julian Hawthorne."

Rose suddenly feels like someone’s squeezed her throat, the remaining words stuck in her throat.

"Young Master Xavier, you must be joking with me..."

Why would Austin Xavier let the woman he loves become pregnant with another man’s child?

Tears quickly pool in Rose’s eyes, "Young Master Xavier, you know I love you. How could you let me carry someone else’s child? Tell me you’re joking, right? You wouldn’t do this to me..."

Austin Xavier has no mood to listen to her nonsense, "If you don’t want the child, I’ll take you to abort it immediately."

Rose’s voice stilled again, Austin Xavier smirked sarcastically, "The Hawthorne’s first precious baby, considering the weight of this child, it’s quite a pity if aborted. But if you don’t want to give birth, I won’t force you, I’ll call the doctor right away..."

Seeing Austin Xavier wanting to call the doctor, Rose instead hurried.

"Young Master, I truly love you, but the child is innocent! I can’t hurt the child just because it’s not yours!"

Implying she still wants to be with Austin Xavier, but also wants to keep the child.

Summer Xavier smirked sarcastically.

"Go find Julian Hawthorne, let him know, you’re the woman carrying his child."

Rose feels thrilled, itching to move.

This is her reliance on marrying into a wealthy family.

After all, both are wealthy; marrying Julian Hawthorne is the same as being Austin Xavier’s wife. Even if she marries Julian Hawthorne, it doesn’t affect her continued affection for Austin Xavier.

Both men are so outstanding; it pains her to hurt either. Thus, neither should be hurt.

"But... but in case Mr. Hawthorne doesn’t acknowledge it, or Miss Sterling finds out and harms me..."

"That’ll depend on your ability; a woman who can’t give birth has no qualifications to marry into a wealthy family."

It means telling Rose he won’t help her at all.

Austin Xavier clearly knows Rose won’t give birth to this child. He can’t stand Paige Sterling and Julian Hawthorne being happy, deliberately using Rose to disgust them.

If Austin Xavier isn’t satisfied, no one will be either.
