Chapter 968 - Marrying An Illegitimate Child

"So, you think it's okay if Sabrina aborts her pregnancy?"

"I didn't say it like that. I have lost my child once, and I know the pain very well. I know it is not easy to give birth safely. But if there are other reasons that make Sabrina have to abort her pregnancy, does the Atmajaya Family no longer want her?" Della said.

Seeing Della's worried expression, Raka tried to explain. "Della, I know you were sad when you lost your child. But if you and mom don't budge, the marriage will only get more complicated. I'm sure Sabrina can give birth to her child safely."

"I want to ask you. If Sabrina can't give birth to her child safely, will the Atmajaya Family not want her anymore? I'm not talking about the engagement party. But the Atmajaya family seems to think this child is much more important than our daughter," Della looked very worried about Sabrina.

"So you think Arka married Sabrina just to give birth to a child? Or do you think that I married you just to give birth to my child?" Raka looked at Della with a deep gaze.

Della was silent, looking at Raka without being able to say anything for quite a while.

"Our marriage is decades old. When you miscarried, never once did I want to leave you. After that, even though you couldn't get pregnant again, I never asked you. I have always respected you as my wife. My mother was anxious and made every effort to take care of your health. But she also never pressured you to give birth to a child for me," said Raka.

Della suddenly burst into tears. "Indeed, you never asked me, but your mother always took me to the hospital to check my condition. She brought me medicine, vitamins and even herbal medicine. Isn't that the same as forcing me to have another child? If I had not given birth to Samuel, would you have left me long ago?"

"When you say this, try to ask yourself in your heart. Am I really going to do as you say?" Raka asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, but I don't want Sabrina to be like me. Why did she have to be pregnant at a time like this? Why can't she wait after marriage? Because of this child, she's going to miss her engagement party. Even her marriage had to be made simple. Why did this have to happen to Sabrina?" Della said in tears.

"What does a wedding party mean? For Sabrina, the most important thing is her health and the child in her womb. She wouldn't care if the party was grand or simple. The party is only meant for people to see, to make them happy. If we insist on aborting the child, will the engagement party be held happily?"

"But we are married once in a lifetime. Sabrina couldn't feel the engagement party nor the grand wedding party. I also feel depressed. There are many things to prepare. If something happens to Sabrina and her child, the Atmajaya Family will blame us," Della is still worried.

"This time, do your duty to protect your daughter and grandchildren. Don't let Sabrina feel what you're worried about. If Sabrina can't get the engagement party, we can throw a grand wedding for her. Let someone else take care of the preparations for the party and you only have to do one thing, which is to protect her and her child. Can you do it?" Raka held Della's shoulder and looked at her closely.

Della shook her head. "I don't know. I can't even protect my own child. How can I protect Sabrina and her child?"

"You have to do it. Sabrina is your daughter and as her mother, you have to protect her. Don't let her feel the loss of her child, like what you felt before. Don't let her experience an incident that could harm her and her child. She will definitely feel very sad," Raka gave this responsibility to Della and forced her to accept it.

Della looked at him with tears on her face. "Can I do it?"

"You are a good mother. I'm sure you can do it?" Raka replied.

After all these years, Della still can't forget the pain and regret when she lost her first child.

Raka knew this and even took her to see a psychiatrist. But that didn't work either.

She closed the door to her heart and kept the pain inside.

If this time Sabrina's wedding can be held smoothly and her child can be born safely, maybe Della's regret and heartache can be eased a little.

Raka and Della finally agreed to cancel their engagement and immediately held a wedding party. The only condition was that the wedding party must be held very grandly.

The jewelry designed by Sabrina will be shown at the party and some of Della's designs will be displayed.

It is not only a wedding party, but also a jewelry exhibition.

Raisa, Nadine and Maya work together to prepare for this wedding, while Adel and Anya are in charge of taking care of flowers and souvenirs.

Maya took this opportunity to get a guest list so she could hold a high-end blind date in the future.

With persuasion from Raisa and Della, Irena finally decided to give in and cancel the engagement party.

But she repeatedly insisted that the wedding party be very grand. She didn't want the party to be simple because of Sabrina's pregnancy. She did not want to be embarrassed and looked down upon by all the guests present.

The wedding preparations went very smoothly. But what Raisa didn't expect was that she would find her favorite daughter, Bella, looking at Adrian with the wrong gaze.

In the afternoon, after she returned from a meeting with the event organizer, she intended to pick up Bella from the office.

Who would've known that when she arrived there, Raisa saw her daughter and Adrian together. From her vision, Raisa knew very well that Bella really admired Adrian.

This made Raisa feel panicked. She immediately called Anya.

Anya was doing one of the yoga poses when her phone suddenly rang. She pressed the button and the loudspeaker.

"Anya, lately I've been so busy with Arka and Sabrina's wedding that I don't pay much attention to Bella. She lives with you. Is there something wrong with her?" Raisa asked.

Anya thought for a moment. "Nothing, no problem at all. When she first came here, she felt that the tree in front of her bedroom's window was scary so I had someone cut it down. After that, she was very calm. She and Adel often chatted until midnight. Looks like they're getting closer."

"I was in the Pratama Group. I just saw Bella and Adrian come out of the cafe downstairs. Somehow, I feel something is wrong with both of them. Does Adrian already know about his past and identity?" Raisa asked.

Anya immediately stopped doing yoga poses. She turned off the speaker and walked towards the window with her cell phone in her hand. "What's wrong with them?"

"Seeing their closeness, everyone can mistake them for their relationship. Bella already knew that Adrian was not a member of the Atmajaya Family. Did Adrian also know?" Raisa asked.

Anya felt her head buzzing. Previously, Bima had wanted to match Adrian with Maya. But sadly, they are not interested in each other.

But Anya never thought that her brother, whom she raised like her own, would eventually be close to Bella, the youngest girl in the Atmajaya Family.

Adel and Maya are both 24 years old, while Bella is only 19 years old. No one thought that she would fall in love with Adrian.

"Raisa, father discussed Adrian's identity at a family meal once, but he didn't tell everything clearly. After that, Adrian asked me and Aiden so we had to explain," Anya said honestly.

After hearing that, Raisa couldn't calm down anymore. "I don't really care who dad wants to set up with Adrian. No matter how good he is, I don't want him to have anything to do with Bella. I will never let my daughter marry an illegitimate child!"
