The Villain's Wife Chapter 629 Suppor

The Villain's Wife 629 Suppor

Seeing Madam He's expression, Lily instantly widened her eyes. "Oh! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to overstep my boundaries. My apology. Please forget I ever asked about it."

"Oh! No… No." Madam He shook her head as she gave a dejected smile. "It's just that my husband and I have been trying for years now. I mean… we have been married for more than ten years." She lowered her head and let out a sigh. "I would always love to have a child of my own you know."

"Then… what is stopping you? I'm sure they have a lot of methods right now."

"We are trying our best."

Lily nodded as she pursed her lips.

"What's wrong?" Madam He asked.

"Well… it's nothing." Lily eyed the server who just arrived with their order. She uttered a word of thanks before meeting Madam He's eyes. "I mean… please don't get offended at my words, it's just that..."

"Do you want to say something? Please go ahead."

"No… I— " Lily bit her lips. "I just… " She leaned closer to Madam He as she lowered her voice. "I thought…. You were planning to divorce your husband. I mean… having divorced parents could have detrimental effects on the child. Of course… this is a case to case basis. So please don't mind me. Just think of them as some random musings."

Madam He stared at Lily's face. "I understand." She nodded. "Actually, this was also another reason why I was worried." Another sigh escaped her lips before she took a sip of her coffee. "When I started falling for Gannon… I was afraid that I would get pregnant with my husband. I mean… don't get me wrong. I love children. I think they are adorable. But… having a child with someone you do not love is…" She shook her head.

"Hey." Lily smiled. She then held Madam He's hands. "It's alright. I am not here to judge you."

"Thank you. I will turn forty in a few years and I think…. I am starting to doubt myself. Maybe having kids is just not meant for me."

"What do you mean?" Lily asked. "Are you telling me that you will give up?"

"I— "

"Yiyi…" Lily started. "Having a child is a blissful moment. It's unbelievably surreal. Imagine yourself being in a happy family with your own child? With the man that you love? Isn't that… a dream come true?"

Madam He stared at Lily's sparkling eyes.

"I've always loved kids." Lily continued. "And having one with Zhou Jingren is just…" Her smile turned gentle. "A blessing."

Madam He swallowed her saliva as she stared at Lily's beautiful smile. She remembered the disgust in Gannon's face a few days ago as he talked to her. Would she really love to have Gannon's children? Of course! To her… that was not even a question worth asking. She loved Gannon and making him happy was her priority. Slowly, an idea sprouted in her mind.

"What about Gannon, does he plan on having kids with you?" Lily asked, curiosity laced her tone. "I mean… after getting married." She smiled.

Madam He felt her throat tighten at Lily's words. She could not really tell her that Gannon was adamant about leaving her. "Of course. We were talking about it just a couple of days back." She lied.

"That sounds exciting! I'm sure Madam Liu would love to have a small little Gannon running around her mansion. You know… I heard stories about scary mothers-in-laws. But all of them changed their att.i.tude once a grandchild was involved."

Madam He gave a wry smile. Lily's words seem so innocent, so… cordial that she was not able to feel any malice from her. However, she still could not stop the jealousy in her heart. Lily and Zhou Jingren were married. They were happy and now they were planning to have children. While she…

"I am planning to divorce my husband as soon as possible." She declared. She is already getting older. How could she let herself stay in a loveless marriage? How could she let Gannon go without fighting for him?

As expected, Lily widened her eyes. "But…"

"I want to marry Gannon." She said. "I love him and I think… I think I want to spend the rest of my life with him."

"That— Are you certain that it will work? I mean… please don't take offense but I have heard stories about Gannon's past. I am just wondering if he is willing to settle down with you."

"He will." Madam He was full of certainty. Gannon will stay with her. He won't have a choice. Not when she is already carrying his child. Excitement flashed in her eyes. Once she is already married to Gannon, there is no way that the Liu Family will still reject her. After all, she will be carrying their first grandchild. "He loves me." She added. She wasn't really sure if she was trying to convince Lily or herself, with this statement.

However, Madam He was sure that Gannon would not abandon her once she gets pregnant with his child.

"Well then… you know that I will always stand behind you, right?" Lily gave a sincere smile. "I mean… with all the craziness in the world. I want you to know that you will always have my support."

"That— " Madam He felt her lips tremble. A while ago, she was thinking dirty things about Lily. Then she was jealous of her happiness. And now… Lily was saying things like this? How could she even avoid the guilt inside her? "Thank you. Just know that you can always ask me for any favors. Anything at all."

Now that Adalind and Lily are already out of the picture, Madam He felt a little a.s.sured that Gannon won't leave her. All she needed to do now was get pregnant. The thought of having a family with Gannon made her heart jump. She could feel her pulse rise in excitement.

Not long after, Madam He immediately bid Lily her goodbye. She started talking to her lawyer about the divorce. Madam He was not planning on wasting any more time. She would not waste another day of her life being unhappy.
