Chapter 97 Perhaps I Could Fight for Myself
After a long while, I finally recovered from the shock of the pregnancy news and looked at him, saying,
“It seems like tonight is Carley’s birthday feast.”
He furrowed his brows, “Carley? Who?”
My phone rang at that moment. Without responding to Alexander, I answered the call. It was Walter
who called.
His deep, restrained voice came through the phone, “Where are you?”
“Hospital!” I blurted out, my hand unconsciously gripping the ultrasound report tightly.
The voice on the other end of the phone paused slightly, then continued, “It’s Grandma’s birthday
banquet tonight, I’m coming to pick you up.”
I pursed my lips, remained silent for a moment before saying, “Okay!”
After hanging up the phone, I looked at the ultrasound report in my hand, still somewhat dazed. How
did this child come at this time?
“What did they find? What scared you like this?” Alexander took the ultrasound report from my hand,
glanced over it roughly, and found nothing wrong. He frowned at me and said, “Tabatha, you….. six
weeks?”
Noticing the time, he furrowed his brows, his handsome eyes staring at me as he said, “Why is it six
weeks? Weren’t you almost three months – pregnant? How…”

“It was fake before!” I blurted out, reining in all my emotions. I took the ultrasound report from his hand
and put it in my bag, briefly explaining to him about the fake pregnancy.
After hearing this, he looked incredulous, his mouth twitching in disbelief as he said, “This Carley from
the Hinton family really knows how to play, she can even come up with something like this. But now,
you’re really pregnant, what are your plans?”
I shook my head, left the hospital, and for a moment, I was a bit at a loss about what to do next..
I was already hesitant about divorcing Walter, and now with the sudden, very real appearance of a
child, I’m even more unsure about the divorce.
I have always been decisive in my actions, but now, on this matter, I found myself somewhat wavering.
Perhaps, I needed to seriously consider the matter of divorcing Walter. Having been married to Walter
for two years, there was no doubt that he was a good husband and father. If Ashley hadn’t appeared,
over time, Walter and I might have become a harmonious couple.
Having a child, life might not be too bad.
As for his feelings towards me, perhaps affection could grow over time, it wasn’t impossible.
I had gotten used to evasion, but now, he and I hadn’t reached the point of no return. Owen had been
found, the matters of the past could be clarified. I could explain things to Carley. As for Walter’s
kindness to Ashley, perhaps it was also time to tell Walter about what happened back then.
With such a thought, I couldn’t help but feel greatly uplifted. Nothing had reached the point of absolute
necessity, everything could be
explained, and everything could be anticipated.
Having made up my mind, I turned to Alexander and said, “Walter will pick me up to go to the old house
later, do you want to leave first?”
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he looked at me with a face full of disgust, saying, “What? Afraid
that Walter will get jealous if he sees me with you?”
I shook my head, “No, I just feel that you’re wasting your time here as well. You might as well go back
earlier.”
He snorted, too lazy to bother with me, and went straight to drive
away.
Walter arrived shortly after.
I waited for him at the hospital entrance. After getting in the car, he drove straight to the Hinton family’s
old house.
On the way, we had nothing to say.
Half an hour later.
At the old Hinton family mansion, Dale was receiving guests at the main gate of the courtyard. Quite a
few had arrived one after another. Seeing Walter and me arrive, Dale greeted us with a smile, saying,
“Mr. Hinton, Mrs. Hinton, Mrs. Carley Hinton is waiting in the inner courtyard. Please, come in.”
Walter nodded, pulling me into the mansion.
However, he didn’t take me to the inner courtyard, but to the side one. Seeing this, I was somewhat
puzzled as I followed him, “Aren’t we going to see grandma first?”
He didn’t speak. When we arrived at the side yard, Odin was waiting Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

outside. Upon seeing us, he quickly said to Walter, “Mr. Hinton, everything is ready.”
Walter nodded, leading me into the inner hall.
Looking at the inner hall, where more than a dozen formal dresses were hung, I finally realized that I
was dressed too casually. Although Carley’s birthday banquet was not grandly held, the Hinton family
was, after all, a respectable household.
I attended in such casual attire, which was truly inappropriate.
Realizing this, I quickly looked around at the dresses, and then chose a fitted green cheongsam to
change into. Now it was almost winter, so I draped a mink cape over the cheongsam, which was
exceptionally
warm.
After changing into my formal attire, I touched up my makeup and pulled my long hair back. As I
descended the stairs, I noticed an additional young girl in the inner hall.
Watching me go downstairs, the little girl tilted her head and looked at Odin, squinting her crescent-like
eyes and laughed, “See, I told you Tabatha would like the dress I designed. Tabatha has a good figure
and temperament. Wearing this dress, she looks even more dignified and elegant, a perfect beauty.”
