Resting in the palm of hiser outstretched hand was a white pill.

Phoebe stepped down from her desk, her legs feeling weak as she quickly grasped onto the table before glancing at the pill in the man’s palm.

It was birth control, she could tellknew.

He was extremely cautious, fearing that she would become pregnant again.

But little did he know, she could never get pregnant again.

She lifted her head, struggling with her emotions for a moment before saying, “I just finished my period yesterday, it’s still the safe period, can I not take the medicine?”

Her body had special conditions, and she was allergic to many medications, especially birth control pills, which always made her stomach act upuncomfortable after taking them.

“Not take the medicine? Phoebe, do you want to have a child with me?” In Theodore’s narrowed eyes, a dangerous gleam appeared.

Phoebe’s hands by her side gradually clenched. He knew exactly how to hurt her. She licked her chapped lips and said, “I don’t…”

“You’d better not defy!” Theodore suddenly took a step closer, his icy hand pressed forcefully on her lower abdomen, emitting a chilling aura. “Phoebe, remember your identity. You are not qualified to give birth to my child.” Phoebe’s pupils contracted,contracted; her heart clenched tightly. She expressionlessly took the white pill and put it in her mouth.

“Tonight, you will talk to Edward alone. Give it a shottry,” he orderedsaid threateningly.

Phoebe’s hand holding the doorknob stiffened for a moment, then she silently opened the door and went out.

…

The Vanderbilt family was one of the four prestigious families in Kedora, and their full moon banquet was held in grand style.

After leaving Kedora’s most luxurious six-star hotel, Theodore and Phoebe were greeted at the hotel entrance by Christian, the eldest son of the Vanderbilt family, and his beautiful wife, Bianca. Several guests surrounded Bianca, playfully engaging with the baby in her arms.

Christian spotted Theodore and Phoebe immediately and warmly greeted them, “Theodore, Phoebe, you’re here! Bianca, bring Benjamin over for them to see.”

Theodore looked at Christian’s joyful expression and found it rather glaringflagrant. His gaze then shifted to the rosy baby in Bianca’s arms, which only further unsettled him.

A sudden darkness swept across his face.

Sensing the change in Theodore’s mood, Phoebe hastily handed over the prepared gift, saying, “Christian, Bianca, this is our gift for Benjamin.”

“But why did you bother with a gift when you’ve already come?” Bianca playfully chided. “Christian, take a look at your sister. She’s being too polite.”

Although Phoebe was referred to as Christian’s sister, she had no blood relation to the Vanderbilt family. She had grown up under their care, and Mrs. Ziegler, Christian and Edward’s nursemaid, had treated her no differently than she was their sisterher supposed siblings.

As soon as those words left his mouth, Theodore’s face visibly grew colder, and he sarcastically retorted, “Maybe I haven’t been feeding her properly.”

“Haha…” Christian nervously chuckled, oblivious to the fact that he had been tiptoeing around Theodore’s landmines. “Theodore, you’re quite amusing. Anyway, you two should go in go in first, we’ll join you shortly.”

With a sulky expression, Theodore walked towards the hotel, followed closely by Phoebe. She carefully observed his mood, unconsciously slowing down her pace. Whenever he was in a bad mood, it usually meant misfortune for her.

“Never mind,” Mrs. Reynolds dismissed her disapproval of Phoebe’s attire. She stared at Phoebe and said, “Did you see Benjamin when you came in just now?”

“I saw him,” Phoebe replied.

Mrs. Reynolds didn’t waste any time with small talk. She said directly, “You’ve been married for three years. During the first year, Theodore said you needed to take care of your health and that it wasn’t suitable for you to have a child. Now that three years have passed, shouldn’t you resign from your job and start preparing for pregnancy?”
