Chapter 4

Wilhelmina took a deep breath and slowly said, "She's pregnant."

The air froze instantly.

Leon's expression changed from shock to ecstasy, but it was a little complicated when he looked at Wilhelmina.

Tessa was taken aback for a moment, then she covered her belly, tears welling up in her eyes as she said, "Leon, we are having a baby!"

"Wilhelmina." She grabbed her hand, her nails almost digging into Wilhelmina's wrist. "I'll have to trouble you to help me with my pregnancy in the future."

She turned to Leon and said coquettishly, "Leon, I want to eat mango yogurt you bought last time~"

"Starting tomorrow ...." He ordered. "Wilhelmina, you'll be responsible for Tessa's diet and acupuncture."

Wilhelmina stood there blankly without giving him any response. She had been with Leon for three years.

He also had sex with her as a way to vent his emotions, but for three years, every time he finished having sex with her, he would watch her drink the abortion pills he prepared.

"Wilhelmina, a vicious girl like you is not worthy of giving birth to the heir of our family."

Wilhelmina smiled bitterly. Am I vicious? Is Tessa the only one worthy of giving birth to your child?

The man's eyes moved around her face, his Adam's apple rolled, but he finally turned his face away. "Tessa has a poor appetite recently, go and make something suitable for pregnant women."

Tessa smiled sweetly at her and said coqquetishly, "Please, Wilhelmina~ I want something sour and spicy."

Wilhelmina gently placed the prepared medicinal supplement in front of her and a faint medicinal smell wafted from the bottle.

"Your skills are really good~" Tessa scooped a spoonful and suddenly frowned. "It's just a little bitter."

Leon said without even raising his head. "It's okay, good medicine tastes bitter."

He put down his cutlery and said, "Tomorrow night, we will have family dinner party. Please prepare for it."

Wilhelmina's fingertips paused and she asked, "Can I skip it?"

His voice was cold. "No, you're still my fiancée in name."

Tessa's spoon suddenly slipped. "Leon, my stomach hurts so much ...."

Leon frowned and stared at Wilhelmina. "What did you add to the soup?"

He quickly walked to the bedroom with his sweetheart in his arms and when he passed by Wilhelmina, he kicked her hard.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and follow up to see what's wrong with her?"

His voice and gazed were as cold as ice, no warmth was left.

"If anything happens to the baby, I'll make you pay."

Wilhelmina staggered, her fingers tightly grasping the hem of her clothes, her knuckles turning white.

She had clearly decided not to love him anymore, but why did her heart still hurt like it was being stabbed by a knife?

She silently followed behind him, watching him carefully place Tessa on the bed, his movements as gentle as if he were treating a fragile treasure.

Tessa covered her belly, her face pale, but she didn't forget to give Wilhelmina a smug look.

"Leon ... my stomach hurts so much ...."

She weakly grabbed the man's hand, her voice tinged with sobs.

"Did something happen to our baby?"

He immediately turned his head and sternlu rebuked Wilhelmina. "Why are you still standing there? Check on her now!"

With a quick movement, she walked over and placed her fingertips on Tessa's pulse.

The pulse was stable and there was no abnormality at all.

She raised her head and met Tessa's provocative gaze. Then, Tessa moved her lips and said in a tone that only the two of them could hear,

"Looks quite similar, right? He believed it."

Wilhelmina withdrew her hand and said calmly, "She's fine, just need to rest for a while."

Leon frowned to hear her words. "Are you sure? Her face looks so bad."

The cunning girl immediately acted up with a groan. "It hurts...."

His face instantly darkened as he grabbed Wilhelmina's wrist and said, "Did you not even check her seriously?"

His strength was so great that Wilhelmina felt a sharp pain in her wrist bones, but she just stared at him, her eyes calm and quiet.

Back then, when she had a high fever, he also stayed by her bed in a worry and anxious, using a wet towel to cool her down again and again.

But now, all his worry and anxious were given to another given.

"Since you are so reluctant ...."

He sneered and pulled Wilhemina's hand on Tessa's belly.

"Then check on her well and feel the baby you will never be able to carry!"

These words were like a poisoned knife, stabbing deeply into her heart.

She jerked her hand away and staggered back two steps.

Tessa pretended to panic. "Leon, is she angry with me?"

Leon didn't even glance at his fiancee and gently comforted his first love. "You don't need to worry about her, just have a good rest."
