My Destiny Is To Become Billionaire’s Wife

Erica loosens the grip, slowly releasing Ansel’s collar. Standing upright, her voice choked with emotion, she spoke:

“I implore you, please bring Ansel back. I need him; I truly need him, and my child needs their father. Please don’t let my children enter this world without the love and care of their father.”

Erica placed her hand on her stomach, gently stroking it, tears streaming down her face as she continued to mutter her plea, “Please.”

The news hit Ansel’s mind, causing him to stop crying. He was stunned as he looked at Erica.

“Erica, what did you just say?” he asked.

“I am pregnant, and the child is yours,” Erica replied, wiping away her tears, resolute in her statement.

“Can you please repeat it again?” Ansel requested it with a hopeful look. He was still in a state of shock.

“You will be a father. There are two children on the way,” Erica repeated, her voice choked with emotion. “But you don’t want them. What am I supposed to do? What about my child? The father doesn’t want them.”

Afterward, emotions overwhelmed Erica, causing her to burst into uncontrollable tears. She paid no attention to Ansel and began to ramble.

“Should I terminate it? I can’t raise it alone. Oh my God, my child won’t have a father,” Erica said, hitting her own stomach. “They shouldn’t exist in this world. I don’t want to bring them into this world.”

Seeing Erica in such a distressed and rebellious state, Ansel panicked and tried to intervene.

“Stop, Erica. Don’t do that. You’ll harm the babies,” Ansel pleaded.

“You said you don’t need them,” Erica accused.

“I’ve never said such a thing,” Ansel immediately rebutted.

“If you were planning to abandon me, it means you don’t need them either,” Erica emphasized, still accusing Ansel.

“Erica, I’m sorry. I was wrong. If I had known you were pregnant, I wouldn’t have acted that way. I apologize for my thoughtlessness.”

“Why did you react like that?” Erica asked, her voice filled with confusion and hurt.

“Erica, please forgive me. I was just feeling desperate when the doctor mentioned the possibility of me being unable to have children. I didn’t want you to be tied to someone flawed like me,” Ansel confessed in anguish.

“Ansel, you don’t trust me. You wanted to leave me,” Erica accused, crying and reproaching him. She had stopped the gentle tapping on her belly.

“Erica, I was wrong. Please forgive me,” Ansel pleaded.

“You still want to leave me?” Erica questioned.

“No.” Ansel shook his head firmly. “No more. We will overcome all the challenges ahead together, won’t we, Erica?”

“You’re lying,” Erica said, doubting his words.

Erica shook her head in disbelief and took a step back, intending to leave the room. Ansel, seeing this, tried to approach Erica to keep her from leaving. However, due to his current condition, he fell to the floor.

Erica panicked and quickly rushed to Ansel’s side.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Erica exclaimed angrily. “Do you even realize that you’re hurting yourself?”

“I just wanted to get closer to you. I was afraid you would leave and do something reckless with the children,” Ansel explained.

“I’m not foolish like you,” Erica declared with determination.

“I know,” Ansel admitted with shame. “Erica, I was wrong. I’m sorry; please forgive me.”

Ansel looked truly pitiful in his remorse and guilt. Erica couldn’t bring herself to punish him any further, so she softened her heart.

“Foolish Ansel!” Erica scolded him, then burst into tears and fell into Ansel’s embrace. They held each other tightly, crying together.

Outside the room, Mr. and Mrs. Brown, along with Nika, had heard the entire conversation between the two. Unable to contain herself any longer, Mrs. Hani rushed into the room. In truth, Mrs. Hani had wanted to intervene earlier, fearing that Erica would be angry with Ansel and act recklessly, potentially harming the unborn child. However, Mr. Brown had stopped her, believing that it was best to let Ansel and Erica resolve their own issues.

The sudden appearance of Mrs. Hani didn’t make Ansel separate himself from Erica’s embrace.

“Ansel!” Mrs. Hani called out, touched by the scene before her.

Ansel turned his gaze towards his mother, while Erica slowly separated herself from him.

“Mom.”

Ansel hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Mrs. Hani hastily stepping forward to embrace Erica. The sudden action of the woman left Erica momentarily frozen. She didn’t know how to respond to the unfolding situation.

“Erica, thank you.” Mrs. Hani choked up and said, “I don’t know what to say to express my gratitude to you. I apologize for my poor behavior toward you all this time. Please forgive me.”

Recognizing that the woman was crying, Erica suddenly became alert. She gently replied:

“It’s all in the past; please don’t worry anymore.”

“Can you forgive me?” Mrs. Hani earnestly pleaded.

“Yes,” Erica replied.

Mrs. Hani broke the embrace, feeling a great sense of relief as she released the weight that had been weighing on her chest. Mrs. Hani gently held Erica’s hands, her voice conveying something immensely profound:

“Erica, please take care of Ansel for me.”

Erica nodded.

“Thank you. The Brown family is truly blessed to have a wonderful daughter-in-law like you.”

Mrs. Hani gently wiped away the tears from Erica’s eyes, and Erica could feel the immense love of a mother emanating from Mrs. Hani.

Witnessing the intimate bond between the two most important women he loved, Ansel felt immense happiness.

“Ansel,” Mr. Brown spoke up, capturing not only Ansel’s attention but also that of everyone present.

“Yes, Father.” Ansel looked at his father, anticipating words of guidance from him.

“Regardless of the circumstances, never be pessimistic. Discuss and seek solutions for every issue that arises. We are a family, understand?” Mr. Brown offered his advice. As a father, Mr. Brown naturally understood Ansel’s temperament. Ansel had a tendency to handle difficulties on his own and rarely shared them. And sometimes, his decisions were challenging for others to accept.

“I’m sorry,” Ansel said, expressing his remorse. “I’ve been thoughtless, causing worry and sadness to both of you.”

“Recognizing your mistakes is a good start. Try to rectify them. Your mother and I are always here for you,” Mr. Brown continued. “And don’t forget, there is another little family that needs you too.”

Mr. Brown glanced towards Erica, and Ansel naturally understood his father’s intention.

“Ansel, Erica is a good woman. You must love and care for Erica for a lifetime.” Mrs. Hani looked at Ansel with a request in her eyes.

“Yes, Mother, I understand,” Ansel replied, looking towards Erica and extending his hand to her. Erica understood his intention, walked towards Ansel, and held his hand.

A peaceful silence filled the air as the major issues were satisfactorily resolved. Knowing the need to change the topic, Nika finally spoke up with a question.

“Erica, how long has it been?” Nika asked. Understanding the question, Erica happily revealed,

“Almost a month.”

“Why didn’t you tell everyone?” Ansel gently reproached

“I wanted to create a big surprise for you after the wedding. However, things didn’t go as expected,” Erica explained.

“Thank you, Erica,” Ansel said, moving. “I truly appreciate and cherish you.”

Erica nodded and smiled at Ansel, sharing in the joy of the moment.

“Take good care of yourself, Erica, so that Mother’s grandchildren can be born healthy,” Mrs. Hani advised with a heartfelt reminder.

“Yes, ma’am,” Erica replied.

It seemed like everyone had momentarily forgotten about Ansel’s condition. Their minds were filled with joyous anticipation of Erica’s pregnancy news.

“To be honest, you really worried everyone, Ansel,” Nika said, helping Ansel back to bed. “Not only that, you made Erica cry. Should I take Erica away from you?”

“Go ahead and try,” Ansel replied in a threatening tone.

“Who is at fault here? And you dare to threaten me?” Nika was not pleased and scolded back.

“I’m sorry,” Ansel said, feeling ashamed.

“Instead of apologizing, quickly regain your composure. You have a tremendous responsibility that needs to be fulfilled,” Nika reminded her.

“I know; I will do that,” Ansel replied.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

After conversing for a while, Mr. and Mrs. Brown departed, leaving Erica and Ansel alone in the room. Nika went back to the company. Silence filled the room, encompassing Erica and Ansel.
