If the kids’ matter was a hoax, what about this?

Lucas...the Newman family...She had no idea how they would react if they learned that the personthey had helped had hidden such a big thing from them.

When Sarah came out of the bathroom, she noticed Anne sitting there with a worried expression."What's the matter with you?"

Her mobile phone rang as soon as she finished asking.

"Why would Joanne call me?" Sarah muttered and answered the call politely with full of smiles. "HiJoanne, what's the matter?”

Anne did not even need to listen or ask, and she already knew why Joanne called.

She felt weak and lightheaded.

It was actually a compromise for Lucas’ parents to acknowledge her. Thus, what difference did itmake to have an infertile daughter-in-law than a man?

Moreover, how would Lucas view her, and how disappointed would he be...

"How random of them. The meal was canceled out of nowhere. Why the sudden change of mind?She even had me check online. What's there to check online?” Sarah was unhappy and was notfamiliar with reading things online with her mobile phone. When she was about to ask Anne forhelp, Anne's face made her realize the seriousness of the situation. "What happened? Tell me."Anne said with a pale expression, "The fact that I went to the hospital for an abortion and myinfertility is all over the internet...”

"What..." Sarah froze and stood up abruptly after coming back to her senses. "Bianca, that b*tch!She wouldn't get away with this!"

"Don’t. We are no match for her.” Anne had Sarah dismiss the idea, fearing that she would act onimpulse again.

"How are we no match for her? Isn't she simply pushing us around by relying on Anthony?" Sarahwas so angry that she got a headache and sat on the sofa. "Where did it go wrong? How can wemess up a sure thing? This can't be happening. I'll talk to Joanne about it. Giving birth to kids is notan issue since medical treatments are so advanced now. How difficult can it be to give birth to akid..."

Anne stopped her mother from calling, "Don't call.”

"Why? We can't back down without a fight.”

"Bianca's intention was to let the Newman family know about this matter, and she even made surethat they would not accept it. How can a family like them accept a daughter-in-law like me.” Annepaused and lowered her gaze to continue. "I have never wanted this to develop between me andLucas anyway, so this happened at the right time, and I can give up on the idea of marrying him."The Newman family operated an education business, so they definitely would not want a daughter-in-law who frequently gets into trouble.

As it would bring adverse effects on the school.

Besides, if the baby can come from any woman, why must they choose her?

What worried Sarah the most now was Lucas’ side.

"Are you really going to give up on a family like the Newman?" Sarah was reluctant to the idea."Stop thinking about it. I'm going to make a phone call...” Anne stood up and went outside.

When she got outside, she took out her mobile phone and searched for Lucas' number. Shehesitated for a while before she made the call.

There were several beeps before it was answered by Lucas' smoky voice, "hello."

He appeared to be his usual self.

However, how could this be? The Newman family even called to cancel the meal.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Newman..." Anne did not know what to say other than to apologize.

"Is it really the truth?" Lucas already believed what was written on the internet, but he still asked herpersonally.

"..Yes." She took a deep breath and told him everything, "Pregnancy, miscarriage, infertility,everything was true.”

Lucas was silent for a moment after Anne's statement.

Anne bit her lower lip and felt embarrassed even though it was over the phone.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you. I simply couldn't bring myself to tell you, hence why did I try tohave you give up on me in a turnaround way..." Anne lowered her head and stared at her toes withteary eyes.
