Chapter 196 Pregnant With a Baby

Luke commented on Clarissa’s Instagram post. (Clarissa, now that President Lawrence has spoken,

you should give him a baby.)

Luke was nothing more but a traitor. Clarissa simply ignored him

Meanwhile, Luke was lying on the couch. He was disappointed to know that Clarissa didn’t reply to his

comment.

Emily had just showered, and approached him after exiting the bathroom. “What are you looking at?”

she asked Luke.

“I’m looking at Clarissa’s Instagram. President Lawrence’s urging Clarissa to give birth to his child.

Once she does, her position in the Lawrence family will be secured. As her brother, I’ll get a share of

benefits too! I’m sure I won’t remain where I am now.” Luke lay on the couch with his feet up in the air.

He was simply being delusional, and even showed Emily the post he mentioned.

“Ha! Clarissa’s really pretentious. Not wanting to have President Lawrence’s baby is probably a trick of

hers. Anyway, there are plenty of others who want to have his baby.” Emily said. She thought about

Damien’s luxurious villa and the life she could never have.

“Have his baby? Who? You? Don’t forget, the baby in your belly is mine. Don’t you try to make him call

another man his father!” Luke kicked Emily’s stomach lightly, and then kicked her butt. “Joseph isn’t

interested in you, and neither is Damien. I’m the only one who can see you. Your parents are dead, too.

Do you have a strong family background? You only have a house and no money. Stop daydreaming!”

Luke’s words stirred Emily. She threw the comb in her hand at Luke, which immediately left some red

marks on his face.

Her life was exactly the way he said it. Despite her huge pride, she wasn’t blessed with luck.

Joseph wasn’t interested in her, and in turn, she lost interest in him after his scandal with Nicole. On

the other hand, Damien didn’t care for her and never bothered to spare a glance at her.novelbin

Having Luke’s baby was a somewhat helpless and desperate move on her part, as she couldn’t find a

better man.

“I’m pregnant, but you have nothing. You know what I can do?” Emily warned viciously. “I should abort

the baby. You’re just a driver with nothing. The house isn’t even yours! You aren’t even making enough

to make ends meet. Won’t the baby suffer with you?”

“How dare you!” Luke jumped up from the couch, furious. “Don’t you dare abort the child!”

“I will! Others will laugh at me for giving birth with neither a name, marriage, or family!” Emily screamed

Luke thought for a long time and finally suggested, “How about getting engaged with me?”

“With you? Bah! Your family’s dirt poor!” Emily became furious as soon as she remembered the thin

envelope Theresa had given her as an introductory gift. It contained only one thousand dollars.

She was certain the Johnsons couldn’t give her and Luke a lot of money for their marriage.

Emily’s parents were dead, and she had no one to fight for her. When she thought about it, sorrow

engulfed her and she burst into tears,

Luke patted her shoulder, trying to comfort her. “Come on, baby. Don’t cry! I’m here.”

“You’re no good!” Emily snapped.

“I’m useless, but I have a rich brother-in-law. I’ll see if I can get him to give me this house as our

engagement gift. If he does, we can sell it for more than 10 million dollars, use part of the money to buy

a small house, and keep the rest. It’s more than enough for us to eat, drink, and play. Hell, we might

not even need to sell the house. Who knows, maybe he’ll give us something else!” As he said all this,

Luke began to daydream.

“Really? When are you getting it done?” Emily was excited at the thought. If she got engaged to Luke,

there was a chance for her to see Damien again.

Just as Luke had said, this wasn’t a bad idea. In Emily’s eyes, Damien was a real man.

VIS

“We can’t put this off. I’ll get it done as soon as possible! Let’s see… Maybe within two weeks? I’ll talk

to my mom and tell her that you’re demanding a huge amount.” Luke said:

He then continued huffily, “She owed me so much for all these years. I’ll see what she’ll do. Will she

ask for the money from her precious daughter?”

Emily wiped her tears. On one hand, she felt this was a bad move as it would affect Damien’s

impression of her. Upon thinking about it again, she decided that money was more important. She

wasn’t spending her life with Damien, anyway. Damien was, at best, a nice painting on the wall. Money

was infinitely better.

Relieved, she urged Luke, “Hurry up and call your mother.”

“It’s already midnight, and my mom’s sleeping. I’ll call her tomorrow morning.”

The next morning, Theresa’s phone rang just as she was having breakfast with Clarissa. In all honesty,

Theresa was always worried whenever Luke called.

“Mom! I’ve decided to get engaged with Emily, but she’s asking for five hundred thousand dollars. The

house isn’t mine, so she’s asking for some money to feel secure.”

Theresa fell silent. After a long pause, she came to her senses and asked, “That much?”

“She’s pregnant with my baby. I can’t do anything!”

“What?” Theresa was stunned. She wanted to lower the amount, but since the woman was

pregnant…

“Mom, who’s calling?” Clarissa asked Theresa.

“Your brother.” Theresa was confused and at a loss.

“My brother?” Clarissa’s eyes widened. “Why’s Luke calling you?”

Luke rarely called Theresa. During the rare moments he did, it was always bad news.

“It’s fine. He’s just asking about the money at home. Anyway, once you finish the food, you should hurry

and return to the Lawrence family manor.”

Theresa knew Luke called her because he wanted her to pass the message to Clarissa, for he knew

Theresa couldn’t afford to fork any money out. However, Theresa refused to trouble Clarissa.
