226 Chapter 226: How Could It Be

Soon, Norah beat her breast and cried in anguish, "oh, what a terrible thing! Divorce? I will be laughed at by all our neighbors and relatives! You're so useless! No, you must try to win his love back! You can't divorce him!"

They would have no relationship with that noble and wealthy family after the divorce!

Dalton sighed a long sigh and sat down to the smoke.

At this moment, Valerie suddenly felt sick and suffocated. Her stomach heaved. She rushed to the bathroom, squatted down, and began to vomit into the toilet.

Norah stopped blaming her, frowning, and followed her to the bathroom. "What's wrong with you? Are you ill?"

After a while, Valerie stood up but still feel sick. She wiped away her tears and said impatiently, "nothing! I'd better die!" with that, she doubled over and threw up again.

Norah looked at her daughter, and then she was surprised by a thought that rushed into her mind. "Valerie, have you had your period this month?"

Valerie looked up with surprise. "No, why?"

"Good! That's it! You must be pregnant! Didn't you notice that?" Then Norah rushed downstairs to the drugstore to buy pregnancy tests.

Valerie did a test, and it was a positive result!

Overjoyed, Norah slapped her thigh and laughed, "you are pregnant again! Even if Devin wants a divorce, old Sterling won't approve it. Valerie, this time you're so lucky!"

Dalton's lips parted in a delighted smile too.

Valerie, however, was unable to say a word. She looked at the Clearblue pregnancy test stick and gasped.

Pregnant again...

How could it be...

Devin had only met her once since her abortion. She tried hard to please him, and they did have sex that night.

But after that, she wasn't pregnant because she had her period.

So, she got pregnant because…

She had a one-night stand when she went to a bar to get drunk?

The baby was not Devin's at all --

Valerie covered her mouth, and her heart beat violently. However, she knew that the baby was the only way for her to win Devin back.

"Valerie, what's the matter?" Norah saw the complicated expression on her daughter's face.

"No…nothing." Valerie recovered, covered her stomach, and tried to suppress her violent heartbeat.

She mustn't tell anyone about this matter.

Norah immediately called Devin and told him the happy news.

As expected, Devin came in an hour.

"Devin..." Valerie was excited to see Devin coming for her.

Devin's eyes were still cold, but they went a little warmer when they fell on her belly.

He didn't expect that she was pregnant again.

It was a ray of hope for him in the dead end.

His illness may have rendered him infertile, the baby in Valerie might be his only child in his life, it's too precious!

Devin walked to Valerie, took her hand, and said softly, "Valerie, come back with me."

"Devin, won't you divorce me?" Valerie looked at him tearfully. Although she knew that he agreed to make up with her only for the sake of the baby in her, she was still touched by his long-lost gentle manner.

Although the tenderness was so fragile, so illusory, and was all built on the unborn baby.

But what did it matter?

As long as she was still old Sterling's granddaughter-in-law and the rich man's legal wife, she was still a winner.

"Let the past be lost, don't mention it again. Come back with me, and I will treat you and our child well from today." Devin grabbed Valerie's hand and promised.

***

In the Sterling's house.

Old Sterling felt much better after Savannah and Dylan accompanied him for a few days.

This evening, Dylan came back early. Old Sterling had asked the cook to prepare a good dinner. They chatted while enjoying the meal together.

After a series of disturbances in the Sterling's house, the atmosphere tonight was rarely quiet and peaceful.

As dinner drew to a close, Cooper hurried into the dining room and said, "sir, master Yontz is here."

"Let him in," said the old Sterling, frowning slightly.

A moment later, Devin, with Valerie on his arm, walked into the dining room together, "grandpa, uncle."

Savannah was a little surprised. She heard that Valerie had been sent back to her parent's home. How could she come here with Devin in such an intimate way?

Old Sterling was also surprised to see Valerie coming. Obviously, he was still angry with Valerie. He looked at Devin with displeasure, "what are you doing with her?"

"Grandpa, Valerie knows that you're not feeling well, so she's extremely worried about you and wants to see you." Devin smiled.

"Oh. Worried about me? If she were so kind, would she do anything to frame her cousin with a dead baby in her?" Old Sterling said mercilessly!

"Grandpa, I know I was wrong! Devin's forgiven me, grandpa, please give me another chance! I'll change my ways and be good!" Valerie's eyes reddened, and tears rolled down her cheek.

Has Devin forgiven her? How could it be possible? Savannah scowled.

Old Sterling sneered and said nothing.

Seeing this, Devin stepped forward and said quietly, "grandpa, for the sake of your future grandson, forgive Valerie this time."

This sentence shocked all but Valerie in the place.

Old Sterling reacted first, "what do you mean? Valerie... is pregnant again?"

Valerie covered her belly shyly and nodded.

"We went to the hospital today. She's two months pregnant. The baby in her is in a good state." Devin added.

"Why didn't you say so?" Old Sterling said in surprisingly pleasant.

Devin smiled, "We came to tell you as soon as a result came out."

"That's great! Good! Thank god!" Old Sterling stood up, looking at Valerie's belly as if it was his regained treasure.

Things had been going badly for the Sterlings these days, and there's finally some good news.

In front of the fourth generation of the Sterling family, old Sterling's anger melted gradually.

Cooper saw the eyes of old Sterling, and hurriedly asked the servant to add two more sets of tableware. "Mr. Yontz, Mrs. Yontz, please sit down."

Instead of sitting down immediately, Devin looked at Dylan as if afraid that he would disapprove, "Uncle, no matter what Valerie and I have done to you before, forgive us, please."
