Chapter 77: Misunderstanding
The next day, just as Jameson went downstairs, Jacob ran over to him swiftly and said, “Mr.Proctor,
something happened!”
Whether it was before or after their engagement, Martin had always been cold to Erica, and their
families only regarded their marriage as a business cooperation, not caring about their feelings.
The only one who took this engagement seriously was Erica.
She was afraid that Martin would dislike her and reject this marriage, but after the engagement, she
had nothing to fear.
Sharon’s pregnancy was like a thorn in her heart, and she blamed Martin’s indifference and
alienation on Sharon.
Sharon didn’t get pregnant during the three-year marriage with Jameson.
How could she be pregnant after their divorce? Erica thought that Martin was likely to be the baby’s
father.
Early this morning, Erica made a scene at the dining table.
However, she was very smart.
She did not mention Sharon’s name.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe only said that there was a woman who was pregnant with Martin’s child, and she wanted Albert
to help her get rid of the woman.
Even if Albert found out the woman that she talked about was Sharon, it had nothing to do with her.
When Albert heard Erica’s words, he was ablaze with anger.
In fact, he didn’t care about whether Martin and Erica loved each other.
However, Martin’s affair would be a discredit to his family.
Moreover, it happened a few days after Martin and Erica were engaged.
At this critical juncture, it would affect the cooperation between the two families.
Jacob said, “Mr.Proctor wants an explanation.The Mortons are on their way to the old mansion.”
Jameson asked calmly, “How did Erica know that?”
“I’m not sure yet.I’m going to investigate now.’
“No need.”
Jameson walked out as he said in a cold voice, “I’ll go ask her.”
In the Proctor’s Albert sat on the sofa silently with the walking stick in his hands, his face cold.
Erica, who was sitting opposite to him, was crying bitterly.Albert became impatient after a while.
“What’s the use of crying now? You were determined to marry Martin.You know he doesn’t like
you.It is normal that he has an affair.’ Erica sobbed, “That woman has been pestering him, and now
she is pregnant.They don’t care about my feelings.’
Albert shouted angrily, “Don’t worry about the baby! Martin would not dare to have it!”
Evie glanced at the door and chipped in, “You are right.Not every illegitimate child has such a good
luck.”
After she finished her words, Jameson came.
A servant greeted, “Mr.Proctor.’ Jameson nodded.
His face was expressionless.
The dining hall went quiet, and the moment turned sour.
Erica stopped crying anymore and sobbed.
Just then, Jeffery went downstairs.
He said with a sigh, “Jameson, come with me to the garden.I have something to say to you.’
After they left, Albert frowned and asked, “Do you have to provoke him now?”
Evie sneered, “I didn’t provoke him.I was just telling the truth.”
Then she turned to look at Erica and continued, “Erica, you should never underestimate a man born
out of wedlock.It is possible that in the near future, he will snatch away everything you have.’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmErica knew nothing about what happened in the past.
She nodded and was more determined to get rid of Sharon and her child.Not long after, Morton and
his wife Keira came with Martin.
Albert stood on his walking stick and tried hard to suppress his anger.
“Tell me.What happened? And who is that woman?”
Martin looked coldly at Erica and replied, “Nothing happened.’
“You don’t have to deny it.I didn’t meant to denounce you.Instead, I want a solution.”
Morton began in a deep voice, “I know my son well.He would never do such a thing.”
Keira asked, “Martin, is there a misunderstanding?”
Erica stood up from the sofa and yelled, “How could it be a misunderstanding? I saw it clearly with
my own eyes! They met each other many times in private, and Martin always protects that woman!”
Keira said helplessly, “Erica, don’t jump to a conclusion based on what you saw.Prove it.”
“Can’t the baby in that woman’s belly prove their relationship? Alright, I won’t pursue this matter
further.If she has an abortion, I’ll pretend that this never happened.”
“Erica, are you done?”
Martin couldn’t bear it any longer.
