Chapter 1445 She Finally Have Him
Sebastian’s eyes turned grim as soon as he heard the news.
“Is she out of her mind?” He summarized his thoughts about the matter in one sentence.
Sasha sighed.
“There’s no other way for me to find out. I have to go to the Emmanuel residence right now to see it for myself. She also said that she’s preparing meals for many people, and not a single person in the Emmanuel residence is helping her.”
Sebastian remained silent for a full five seconds before reluctantly agreeing to Sasha.
Immediately, the couple set off for the Emmanuel residence.
At the Emmanuel residence, Willow, who was pregnant for more than seven months, was preparing meals in the kitchen all by herself. At the same time, Brandon’s elder brother’s and sister’s family members were lounging comfortably in the living room, chattering away while munching on mixed nuts.
Brandon had an elder brother and also an elder sister.
His elder sister was married into the Graham family and gave birth to a son. She had conflicts with Ian and Matteo back then because of the concert.
His elder brother also got married and had a son.
However, the two families were sitting idly in the house while Willow, pregnant for seven months, was busy in the kitchen.
“Seriously. Can she be any slower? We’ve been waiting forever, and I haven’t had breakfast yet.”
Brandon’s elder sister brought her husband and children over to the house early in the morning, and she got impatient as she hadn’t had breakfast after having mixed nuts for so long.
Her husband kept quiet.
Brandon’s eldest sister-in-law took a look at the kitchen and wanted to help.
However, she was stopped by Brandon’s elder sister, Lyla.
“What are you doing? Don’t tell me you’re going to help her.”
“But-”
“But what? She wanted to marry into the Emmanuel family and got pregnant by seducing my little brother before getting married. And you want to help her? I’m warning you. If you help her, even for a bit, your status in the Emmanuel family will be affected,” Lyla sneered.
Immediately after she spoke, Willow brought out the pasta she had cooked.
As she heard those words, she felt as though someone slapped her hard in the face.
Even her fingers turned white.
This was the result of her putting up with them.
After Willow served the pasta, she didn’t greet any of them. Instead, she went straight upstairs to look for Brandon.
“Brandon, are you awake? It’s time for breakfast.” She pushed open the bedroom door and saw Brandon still sound asleep on the bed.
That was how the first day of the new year used to be in the Emmanuel residence.
Everyone from the family would be in the house. Brandon’s siblings and in-laws would come over early in the morning with their children.
However, apart from Mathilda who was not well, the others would sleep and munch on mixed nuts all day. To her, celebrating the first day of the new year in the Emmanuel residence was no different from how she celebrated alone back then.
Willow sat on the edge of the bed and leaned toward Brandon. However, he didn’t move even after she called out to him twice.
He was still good looking.
He had a beautiful face with intricate features. As a person who had been in the entertainment industry for many years and was still regarded as the most handsome man in the industry, his good look was never a question.
Looking at him now, Willow still admitted that she liked him a lot.
However, she was surprised that he was still lying in bed indifferently. In a way, he was just like his family downstairs.
“Brandon?” Willow reached out and nudged him again.
“What is it?” At long last, after nudging him for the last time, he frowned and responded irritably.
Willow was overjoyed to see him awake.
“Get up and go downstairs for breakfast. Also, Nancy and her husband are coming soon. Look at you. What if they arrived?”
Brandon was still trying to gather his thoughts.
Sebastian?
He finally opened his eyes and looked at her.
However, a hint of disgust flashed across his alluring eyes when he saw her bloated belly under her loose clothes.
“Alright. I get it. Please get out.”
Willow was dumbfounded.
After a long time, she got up from the bed and went out.
Compared to her past, bearing Brandon’s child and being brought into the Emmanuel family was huge progress for her.
Although she didn’t have a marriage certificate and wasn’t allowed to talk about her relationship with him publicly, she felt like a more successful person than she was before.
But that morning, after she stepped out of that room, she rubbed her sore waist, and a chilling wind blew over her face. Then, she just stood there, unwilling to move.
It was as though all her enthusiasm and energy were suddenly blown away by the cold wind, leaving her frozen on her feet.
Suddenly, she didn’t feel like moving.
Half an hour later, when Sasha and Sebastian arrived at the Emmanuel residence. Willow was in the kitchen, eating a bowl of noodles that had gone cold.
“Willow, you-”
Sasha had never seen Willow like this before. Her heart started to squirm when she saw her in such a pitiful state.
What in the world happened to her?
Why is she torturing herself like this?
