Mommy 316
Andrew's brows knit together as he looked around.
He found the household staff and bodyguards of the Duarte family close to him, surrounding him in a terrifying circle. It was as if they were afraid he would run off and escape taking responsibility. They stared at him unwaveringly.
Their eyes were filled with hatred, as if he was a heinous bastard who should be despised by everyone.
He couldn't help but clench his fists and say helplessly, "Mrs. Duarte, you keep asking me for an explanation. Then let me ask you, what kind of explanation do you want from me?'
His question displeased Rose greatly. She whipped her head around and said furiously, "How dare you speak to me so selfrighteously after you've done such a despicable thing? Andrew Goodwin, you're too much!'
Nicole tugged at Rose's sleeve and mumbled, "Mom... Andrew didn't mean to do it. He was drunk last night. He didn't mean for this to happen... He didn't do it on purpose..
Rose glared at Nicole in disappointment and lectured, "Nicole, I know that you have always been sensible and thoughtful, but such a thing can't be glossed over by calling it an 'accidental mistake'! A man should take responsibility for what he has done! Does he expect you to bear the consequences yourself otherwise?!'
Nicole was suddenly embarrassed. She covered her face and said, sobbing, "What else can I do? Am I supposed to get Andrew to
On the surface, Andrew looked calm, but in his heart, he was beyond regretful!
Meanwhile, Rose seemed to be comforting Nicole. However, she kept stealing looks at Andrew's expression from the corner of her eye. Seeing him quiet and looking grim, she started to feel hatred slowly growing within her.
Why was this awful bastard so insensible?!
Shouldn't he take the initiative and say that he was willing to marry Nicole at this point?!
That way, everyone would be able to get out of this situation gracefully, and everything would naturally be settled!
Could it be that she had to take the initiative to say, "Since you've done such a stupid thing, Nicole has no choice but to marry you!'
Wouldn't that seem like a deliberate scheme? It would make it look like they were being insistent and that Nicole had no choice but to marry him.
It was too degrading!
After all, the Duarte family was an influential family. It was impossible for them to say anything so shameful.
The more Rose thought about it, the angrier she was, and the more ferocious her expression became. When those nearby saw this, they thought that she really felt bad for her daughter!
Now, after calming down a little, Andrew finally said, "The deed has already been done. We should think about how to make things up. I admit that I have truly done something foolish to take Nicole's innocence. But... this matter has made a mess of my head. I don't know what to do for the time being so that I can make things up to Nicole. Mrs. Duarte, my mind's in a mess right now. Can you give me some time to think things over?'
Rose was so enraged that her lips trembled. She opened and closed her mouth. She wanted to speak, but for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Andrew seemed to understand her concern. He smiled bitterly.
"Although I'm not some kind of gentleman of old, l, Andrew Goodwin, am still a man. Since I've done something wrong, I will definitely take responsibility for it. I would never run away from it! Mrs. Duarte, don't worry. I will keep my promise and do what I've said
"It's good that you can say that!'
Rose secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "Our Nicole has been wronged. We can't just let it go! The Duarte and Goodwin families have been friends for many years, and I don't want to make things between us awkward because of this! Since you said so, I’ll take Nicole home first! After
you think it through, come to the Duarte residence to see me!'
There was a hint of warning and threat in her words.
Andrew could hear those elements in her words, but he only thought that it was because Rose loved her daughter. Thus, he did not think too much about it and nodded, looking troubled.
After Rose took Nicole away, Andrew took a deep breath. He walked to the bathroom and took a cold shower with his clothes on.
The heating in the suite was on, and it was extremely hot there.
In addition, after the inexplicable argument just now, Andrew felt that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and the cold water could not extinguish it.
'Damn it!" He suddenly hurled his fist and punched it into the wall This seemed to dissipate his anger. Then, he turned around and walked out of the bathroom.
When he got to the living room and saw the phone on the couch, he picked it up, dialed a number, and ordered his family's butler to send another set of clothes.
After hanging up the phone, he accidentally swiped to the call history. Suddenly, he saw that there were four or five missed calls from Adeline.
Andrew got a bad feeling about this.
He frowned and clicked on the record details.
The calls were all from last night, from 3:30 am to 5:30 am. There were a total of five calls.
At that time, he should have still been sleeping. His phone had been left in the living room and silenced. He didn't even answer a single call since there was a door separating him from the phone.
Adeline had never called him so many times in the middle of the night before.
Could something have happened?!
His heart sank as he dialed the number without any hesitation.
'Beep! Beep!'
Fortunately, the call went through smoothly, and it was soon picked up. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Adeline?'
Before Andrew could ask anything, an unfamiliar woman's voice came from the other end of the line. "Hello, are you Miss Moore's boyfriend?'
"Who are you?!'
Andrew frowned. "Where's my girlfriend?'
"I'm the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department of Clearview Hospital. Miss Moore had an early miscarriage at home last night. When we received an emergency call and rushed over, she was already unconscious! We couldn't get in touch with her family, and you were the only contact on the phone, but we couldn't get in contact with you..."
"What did you say?!'
Andrew's head buzzed, and his expression was full of disbelief.
"She's pregnant?! She had an early miscarriage?!'
