A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 779 She Is Pregnant

"Well, you go upstairs!" Ryan smiled. Though he was unwilling to give up Sylvie, he had to. He was a sensible man.

"I'll go back!" Sylvie went upstairs with her things.

It was better to use morning urine to test if she was pregnant, so she was not hurried. She had lunch and went to Marley's villa to pack up her things and went to the Mccarthy family.

Cassius did not expect Sylvie would come back and was very happy. He just woke up and was in good spirits. Sylvie was called into the study. "Sylvie, why are you back?"

Thinking about what happened before, Sylvie lowered her head and calmly said, "Grandpa, I come here to ask you something!"

"What is it? Cassius raised his eyebrows.

"It's about Marley and Jemima." Sylvie raised her head and stared at Cassius, "Grandpa, did you force Jemima to leave Marley?"

Cassius was stunned and smiled. His wrinkles showed his ups and downs in life, "Sylvie, is it Marley or Jemima that tells you this?"

Sylvie felt heavy when Cassius didn't answer her question but asked her. She frowned and said, "You did force Jemima to leave Marley. You know that they've been lived together for five years, but you insist on the marriage between me and Marley. Why?"

"You like Marley, don't you?" Cassius asked, "I know he has saved you before. You don't have a boyfriend because of Marley, do you?"

"I like him, but why do you break them up?"

"Who said that?" Cassius frowned, "Marley? Did he have the right to say that? Jemima? That girl is scheming, so it must be her!"

Sylvie took out the check of 50 million and handed it to Cassius. "This is your check?"

"Yes. So what?" Cassius took it, looked at it, and smiled, "My autograph is on it. Well, I didn't expect that she would give it to you. How tricky she is."

"My first child should be surnamed Mccarthy. I want to know it is a joke or a deal?" Sylvie asked Cassius very seriously.

Cassius frowned slightly. "Did Marley tell you about this? Seriously, I want your first baby to be named Mccarthy!"

"That's impossible!" Sylvie refuted.

"Why not?" Cassius raised his eyebrows. "I took so much money to help the Hughes family. Why is it impossible?"

"You did force Jemima to abort her child?" Asked Sylvie.

"Did Jemima say that?"

"Did you?"

"Sylvie, in your eyes, I am an old man to get what I want by devious means? Do you think the Mccarthy family flourishes because I am too devious?" Cassius suddenly threw a sharp and fierce gaze at Sylvie.

Sylvie was a bit frightened by his sharp gaze and said in a deep voice, "I have no idea about it, but I just want to tell you that my child won't be surnamed Mccarthy whoever I get married to!"

Hearing that, Cassius was stunned but he calmed down quickly. He looked at Sylvie calmly and smiled. "You're a traditional girl and faithful to your husband."

Sylvie didn't want to know what Cassius implied. She said, "To put it bluntly. I won't inherit the family business. From now on, I am not the heir of the Mccarthy family. I am not capable enough. You can hand it to others or donate your money to help more people. I've never thought about inheriting anything. For me, it's better to live a simple life. I don't like scheming against others. No matter what you do, you're always my grandpa. I long for your care. As long as you don't require me to take over your family business, I'll visit you often. Otherwise, I could only flee. I'm sorry that I can't live up to your expectations, but I don't want to force myself."

With that said, she pursed her lips and walked out! She could only feel sorry. A lot of trouble annoyed her and Marley. Though she did nothing wrong, she felt sorry for her grandpa and guilty.

"Sylvie!" Cassius shouted, felt it hard to breathe, and looked at her back in astonishment. "Sylvie, wait!"

Standing at the door, Sylvie turned around slightly, looked at the old man, and spoke softly, "Grandpa, take care of yourself. Money and business are not so important. It is better to stay healthy, so you can live longer! You get money from ordinary people, so you can donate it to help them."

"Sylvie, do you really think so?" Cassius was a little surprised.

"I've never coveted it. I can support myself. I'll feel happier if I live a free life." With that, Sylvie left.

She took the card and took it to Ryan.

Sylvie kept Ryan's help in mind.

Thinking that Ryan would be engaged, she felt happy and wished Ryan a happy life from the bottom of her heart.

She and Marley didn't contact each other.

Sylvie went to Ryan's home. At the door, she pressed the doorbell. Ryan opened the door and felt a little surprised when he saw her, "Sylvie, why do you come here?"

"Ryan, who is that?" a soft female voice sounded.

Sylvie looked inside and saw an elegant woman in the living room.

"Connie, hello, I am Sylvie. I come here to return something to Ryan. I'll go soon." Sylvie greeted Connie at the door. She took out the card, handed it to Ryan, and smiled, "Ryan. Here you are! Thanks for your help! I'll go back!"

"Sylvie, come in!" Ryan said.

"No, I'll go back home. I don't want to disturb you!" Sylvie said softly.

Ryan sighed, "Come in, Connie won't be harsh on you!" Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"Sylvie, come in!" Connie walked to the door and said with a smile.

Sylvie smiled and blinked. "I come here to return something, and now I'm going back home to draw manuscripts. Connie, I'll go to your engagement party with my best wishes."

"Well! Sylvie, thank you!" Connie said with a smile.

"Goodbye!" Sylvie waved her hand and turned to leave.

When—

When the elevator was closed, Ryan turned his head and looked at Connie, who was looking at him.

Connie smiled. "Ryan, are you sure you really let go of her?"

Ryan looked at the elevator, smiled, and put on a bitter smile. "Sylvie and I are doomed to miss each other. I don't like you, but you still want to be engaged to me?"

"It's on the agenda! Are you going to go back on it?" Connie didn't mind at all. She had accepted the fact that he didn't love her, but she still had mixed feelings. It was good for her to marry Ryan since she loved him. However, Ryan didn't love her.

"I won't go back on it!" Ryan smiled. "It's just unfair to you!"

When they returned home, Connie poured wine into two glasses. "Have a drink?"

"OK." Ryan took the glass and toasted her.

"Cheers!" Connie drank the wine in a gulp and coughed.

"Take it slowly!" Ryan patted her back and was amused, "You still have time if you regret it."

"No, I don't regret it…" Connie felt warm in her chest. She stared at Ryan and her eyes turned red, but she smiled, "Life is transient. You don't love me, but I am willing to be with you for the rest of my life."

"It's unfair to you!" Ryan said.

"It depends on how you think about it! You let me take over the Well Group. Is it fair to you? No. You get nothing but I become rich."

"I have no interest in doing business. I love working in architecture. I feel happy that you can support me!" Ryan raised his eyebrow and teased.

Connie was amused and put on a bitter smile. "It's not so bad. We won't quarrel like a couple. We can live together as friends."

"That's right!" Ryan shrugged his shoulders.

Sylvie walked out of the elevator, shook her head, and smiled. She should have called Ryan before she came here. She hoped that she didn't disturb them.

Sylvie's phone rang and the caller was Marley. She saw his number and refused to answer it. She put on a bitter smile.

Though she was sorrowful, she chose to suppress her emotions and turn cold.

Marley only called her once and sent a message. "Sylvie, I'm sorry! Have you gone home? I'll be back tomorrow!"

Sylvie read the message and deleted it!

Early in the morning the next day, she took morning urine and applied it to the test paper and it turned out that she was indeed pregnant.

She was surprised.

She was really pregnant!

She widened her eyes in astonishment. She couldn't help but caress her belly. She felt surprised that she would have a baby. Sylvie decided to educate her baby and told him to be a good man.

However, Sylvie suddenly felt distressed when thinking about Marley.
