Chapter 65: Chapter 65: I’ m Afraid that You Will Understand
Translator: 549690339
“My handwriting? What handwriting? What are you talking about? I can’t understand.” Gillian Thompson’s face was wreathed in smiles, but her mind was racing with a thousand thoughts.
Apart from Isabelle Richardson, no one should know about her involvement, unless…
In a flash, she thought of Amanda Leaford.
Last time, only Amanda had overheard her conversation with someone else.
These days in the hospital, she had no idea what had happened at home.
Could Amanda have said something?
Gillian’s heart pounded wildly.
Seeing the evasive look in Gillian’s eyes, Molly Walker chuckled coldly.
She had no evidence, her suspicion was just a hunch.
Gillian blinked and looked upward unconsciously as she spoke, psychologically indicative of lying.
Molly bent down to look her in the eye, her smile radiant.
Her red lips parted slightly, her voice soft and pleasing, “It’s good that you don’t understand. I’d be afraid if you did.”
Gillian looked up and was taken aback by the deep brown eyes staring back at her. Her breathing suddenly became rapid.
She is setting her up!
Molly straightened up, glanced at Gillian’s cellphone, her amusement evident.
If Gillian dared to record what she had just said, she could definitely be commended for her bravery.
Shortly after Molly left, Isabelle came to Gillian’s hospital room with Bailey.
Seeing Gillian in a wheelchair, Isabelle was taken aback for a moment, but quickly adjusted her expression.
She nudged Bailey forward, “Call her aunt.”
Bailey obediently called out a soft “Aunt”.
Upon seeing Bailey, Gillian exclaimed, “You have a child?”
Isabelle nodded helplessly, “An unexpected pregnancy. His dad doesn’t know I gave birth to him.”
Gillian hurriedly gave Bailey a close look, his eyebrows and eyes resembled Isabelle very much, but his mouth resembled someone else.
She narrowed her eyes with a guess at the back of her mind.
“His father is…
“Exactly who you’re thinking of.” Isabelle blushed, awkwardly holding her clothes and giving a shy smile, “Why else would I have forced him to marry me.”
Her eyes immediately reddened.
“All my efforts, just so Bailey could have a home.”
Gillian stared at her, too shocked to speak.
She didn’t expect that when Isabelle made a move, she would make such a huge reveal.
“Does Michael Gallagher know about this?”
This news was too explosive. Gillian, while shocked, immediately thought of
Molly, still married to Michael. A slight schadenfreude appeared on her face:
“Molly hasn’t divorced Michael yet, has she? If you reveal the child to the media, Molly will be confirmed to be the third party.”
What does three years of marriage mean when there’s a four or five-year-old child present?
If Molly’s reputation is ruined, she would be the disgrace of the Thompson family. Let alone competing with her for shares, whether the Thompson family would accept her back would be a question.
Her calculations were clear, but Isabelle was unwilling.
“l have been hiding Bailey all these years because I don’t want him to be harmed. Actually… I’m more afraid that Michael wouldn’t acknowledge him.”
“How could he not recognize his own child?” Gillian was noncommittal, “Men take their lineage very seriously. Don’t worry, as long as Michael knows the existence of this child, he will definitely let the child recognize his ancestry. After all, the child is innocent.’
The more she looked at the child, the more she liked him. Gillian touched
Bailey’s face, “So cute.”
Seeing her like this, Isabelle thought of the purpose of her visit today, her eyes flickered, she spoke softly “Gillian, does your family already know about
Molly’s identity?”
Gillian Thompson’s hand that was touching Bailey’s froze and her face suddenly clouded over.
Not only did they know, but Molly was also trying to use Ivy Thompson’s identity to take control.
Thinking of the “baby” that Molly Walker had mentioned on the phone, Gillian Thompson once again looked at Bailey Gallagher, mulling over something thoughtfully.
Seeing her avoid a direct answer, Isabelle Richardson felt anxious and asked urgently, “Does your promise to me still hold? I’ve done everything you asked of me…
“What have I asked you to do?” Gillian Thompson’s tone turned cold. “Isabelle Richardson, don’t talk nonsense when your mind is foggy. I didn’t instruct you to do anything.”
Isabelle Richardson took a sharp breath, understanding the meaning behind her words.
She clenched her fists and bit her teeth, “Fine, you didn’t instruct anything. Everything was my own doing.”
Gillian Thompson nodded, “Don’t worry. My life is already ruined. I won’t let yours be too.”
She looked at her own lifeless legs; the cold in her eyes sent chills down the spine.
After all, adopting a child can’t replace having a biological one, she needed to make other plans for herself.
If she couldn’t rely on her own family, then she would have to depend on others.
She glanced at Bailey Gallagher and said to Isabelle Richardson, “After I help bring the Richardson family to its peak, I hope you won’t turn against me. If one day 1 end up on the streets, the Richardson family needs to take care of me.”
This was her way of asking for a guarantee.
Isabelle Richardson quickly nodded, “Alright, as long as this cooperation is settled, 1 will not only take care of you, but I will also help you take revenge.”
“Good.’
Having secured Gillian Thompson’s promise, Isabelle Richardson walked out of the hospital lightly, with Bailey Gallagher panting as he chased after her, “Mommy, are you taking me to see Dad?” Isabelle Richardson paused in her steps.
She coldly glanced at Bailey Gallagher.
Bailey retreated a few steps, his small hands trembling with fear.
“It’s not time to see him yet. I’ll have Aunt Lewis take you to the hotel.” She took out a cell phone from her bag and threw it to him, “It has your favorite games and cartoons. Order takeout if you’re hungry. Stay indoors and don’t call me.’
After saying this, she quickened her steps, leaving behind Bailey Gallagher.
Bailey Gallagher stood alone at the door with the cell phone in his hand.
Her father had given her an ultimatum yesterday; if she couldn’t finalize this cooperation, her identity as the heiress of the Richardson family would be gone.
She knew Samuel Richardson’s character. If she failed to complete this task, her life might be endangered, let alone her identity.
That’s why she had had to look for Gillian Thompson personally.
Now that things had been settled, she needed to find Michael Gallagher.
Since he and Molly Walker had divorced, the next step would be for him to marry her.
In a bar in Sunnydale City, Jake Leaford watched his friend Michael Gallagher, who couldn’t stop downing drinks, and grabbed the last bottle from him. “Stop drinking already, it’s just a divorce, isn’t it? Look at how despondent you are. ”
Jake Leaford looked at his good friend with disdain, “l don’t understand you. If you still love her, you shouldn’t have gotten divorced. What’s going on with you?”
Michael Gallagher lifted his eyelid, “Who said I liked her?”
“If you don’t like her, that’s easy. You’re already divorced. Look over there…” He pointed to a group of girls who were peeking over in their direction, “See them? You’re single again. You can go after any woman you want now. No moral constraints. These girls have been looking at you. If you wave casually, I guarantee they will come over.”
Michael Gallagher, with his eyes down, neither looked nor acknowledged the girls, and emptied the last glass of wine.
“She could have told me directly if she wanted to divorce sooner, instead of having another man plead for her.”
After the divorce ceremony, she left without any sentimentality.
What did their three years of marriage mean to her?
He thought he’d be the one to leave nonchalantly, but never imagined she’d be even more so.
“That was indeed a bit too much.” Jake Leaford glanced sympathetically at his cuckolded friend.
Was there anything more humiliating than being forced to divorce by the man his wife cheated with?!
Jake Leaford thought of the matchmaking event that Daniel Thompson had organized. It had ended on a sour note.
The reason was that Molly Walker had shown signs of pregnancy at the table.
Jake Leaford immediately thought that she might be pregnant.
He wondered if he should tell his friend the news..
