My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！ - Chapter 442
Chapter 441
….
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone turned their gaze to Ellis. The journalists immediately asked more questions.
“That’s right, Mr. Ellis, we came here today for this matter, so stop advertising for your company!”
“Mr. Ellis, do you have azoospermia?”
“Is Miss Davis’s child yours?”
The series of questions made Ellis tighten his jaw, and he looked toward Mary. It wasn’t until a moment later that he spoke. “Azoospermia was the result of the examination, but I have been receiving treatment recently. As for the child… of course, it’s mine. My wife and I have always been deeply in love; please don’t believe the rumors out there.”
After saying these words, he walked over to Mary and grabbed her arm. Mary looked at him. After a moment, she pursed her lips and walked together with him toward the journalists. Mary knew that this was something she, as the wife of Ellis, should do – always maintain a glamorous image in public.
She had seen it all her life. Couples from wealthy families were like that. No matter how severely husband and wife quarreled privately, they always appeared close and affectionate in public. Uncle Ken was like that. Both he and his wife had affairs. At home, they quarreled to the point of drawing knives on each other. But as soon as they heard journalists were coming for an interview, they could immediately transform into a loving couple. These were their basic skills.
Wearing an appropriate smile, Mary joined Ellis in front of the journalists. Ellis turned sideways, bent over, and patted her head. “My wife and I share a harmonious relationship, unlike what the rumors suggested. I hope everyone won’t spread false information. Please don’t focus too much on our personal lives. We should be focusing more on my company’s strategies.”
This statement made the journalists cast doubtful glances at him. Someone put it bluntly, “Mr. Ellis, if you have azoospermia, how could the child possibly be yours? Recently, we heard about a scandal in your circles involving Miss Davis. Are you two really that affectionate?”
Ellis replied indifferently, “We are. The scandal is a fabrication. I believe you’ve also heard the clarification from Mr. Austin Gill.”
Seeing they couldn’t get more out of Ellis, someone shifted the focus to Mary.
“Miss Davis, do you really love Mr. Ellis? Is your union with him an arranged marriage? We all know that there are some messy affairs within wealthy families… Your marriage to him was for the sake of the family, right?”
Hearing that, Ellis frowned, about to speak, but Mary said, “I married him because it was an arranged marriage.”
The journalists were instantly stunned. Everyone turned their astonished gazes toward Mary. Ellis’s expression darkened as well. But just when everyone was excited, thinking they had caught hold of the couple’s weakness, they heard Mary speak again, “But it’s also because I love him.”
Everyone was taken aback. Ellis was flabbergasted as well. Everyone turned their gaze to Mary and saw a smile on her face. For some reason, that smile seemed a bit sad. She slowly looked down at the journalists below, then back at Ellis, and said slowly, “I fell in love with him when I was 18 years old. I remember it was a summer when I recklessly offended someone I shouldn’t have provoked. That day after school, a group of them cornered me in an alley, intending to beat me, when Ellis stepped in.”
Back then, Ellis had a lollipop in his mouth and was leaning lazily against a wall with a game console in his hand. He looked over at that gang of thugs and said in a measured tone, “You’re so noisy. All of you should shut up.” Then, after a casual glance at them, he coolly added, “Don’t force me to beat you up.”
He leaned against the wall, and the setting sun in the distance cast a warm glow over him with its red beams. Even now, Mary still remembered Ellis’s appearance that day vividly.
Mary said earnestly, “From that day on, that daring and willful boy, who seemed like a little devil in the eyes of others, took residence in my heart. I know everyone has some misunderstandings about him, thinking he’s the unapproachable Mr. Ellis of the Olsen family, but to me, he has always been that courageous young man. All these years, Ellis hasn’t really changed.”
Mary didn’t look at Ellis, but her words made him hesitate. Ellis stared at Mary, struggling to remember the incident she was talking about; he didn’t even remember having such a past. When he was young, he was indeed a troublemaker and would speak up against injustice.
The way Mary was speaking at the moment gave him an odd illusion. He felt that Mary loved him. This illusion suddenly filled him with excitement. Because of this illusion, he even felt he could tolerate her having another man’s child…
Ellis was deep in thought when he heard the reporters start to speak. “Miss Davis, you don’t have to fabricate any love stories here. We all know what’s going on with you and Mr. Ellis; it’s just a shotgun wedding, right? However, Mr. Ellis’s medical report shows that he has been diagnosed with azoospermia, so Miss Davis, is the child really Mr. Ellis’s?”
Upon hearing this, Mary looked again at Ellis. She suddenly smirked. “It’s his.”
Ellis clenched his jaw and didn’t say a word.
The reporters immediately started to challenge her. “How could it be his? The doctor’s diagnosis clearly states that he has azoospermia. Miss Davis, are you lying without even looking at the report?”
“Miss Davis, there are rumors that you’ve been involved with many men. Is that true?”
“Mr. Ellis, can you tolerate her? Or are you planning to accept this child for the sake of the Olsen family’s reputation? Do you really intend to raise another man’s child?”
Ellis’s expression darkened as he listened, and he was about to say something when he heard Mary intervene. “I have a way to prove the child is Mr. Ellis’s.”
Ellis was taken aback, suddenly getting a bad feeling. And sure enough, she said, “I never knew why spouses had to prove who the real father is, but now, with everyone doubting and questioning, I am willing to do a public DNA test!”
As soon as these words came out, the scene instantly erupted into commotion.
Wayne blurted out without thinking, “Mary, have you gone mad?! How can you do a DNA test under these circumstances?”
After those words were shouted, the reporters immediately seized upon them.
“May I ask why she can’t have one?”
“Is it because the child isn’t Ellis’s?”
Mary looked at them with a cold laugh and then turned to Ellis. “Let’s go to the hospital now.”
