Chapter 272: Freedom
"Baby?"
"Hmm..."
"Don’t you think our baby will develop some violent tendencies If you continue loving such things? You should slow down..."
Ian innocently gave out his view of Mary’s excitement towards such torture, but he never knew that he was about to experience torture himself just from his words.
"What did you say?"
Mary turned back and looked at him with a very sweet smile. A smile so sweet that it started creeping the heck out of Ian and that is when he realized that he was not supposed to utter what he had just said.
"Oh! What is I...Who am I kidding? Go on, enjoy my love. Enjoy baby! As long as it makes you happy, it makes me happy! The baby will just have to adjust with it."
Ian immediately wore the role of a very happy and carefree husband, earning a nod of satisfaction from Mary and the moment the woman turned her back on him, he breathed out a huge sigh of relief because for him, his life flashed before his eyes for a second there.
"Phew! So close!!"
"What do you mean you are trying to do us some goodwill? Oh please!! We’ve known each other for years, and if there’s a person I know who is so selfish, then it has to be you, Mother. So don’t bullshit us anymore. Just don’t!"
Cynthia immediately shouted at her mother the moment she heard her saying that she was doing them a favour, that the simple betrayal was for their own goodwill and she couldn’t help but keep her emotions at bay, cursing out and glaring at mother Xi.
