Chapter 448 She’s Pregnant
Wendy’s discontent made Colton smile as he nodded lightly; as expected, she was highly upset. “Yep, I asked
Queenie to come live with us.”
Her face crumbled in disbelief. With that, she sprung to her feet and started bombarding him with complaints.
“Colton, are you out of your damn mind? How could you bring home such a deceitful woman?”
Her shrieking got on Colton’s nerves, who then glared at her in irritation. “Is this how you talk to your brother?
Where are your manners?”

Nevertheless, when Wendy saw how he kept defending Queenie, it angered her even more, but his frigid expression
intimidated her. So, all she could do was stomp her feet in frustration.
Eventually, she got so irate that she left and stormed upstairs.
Mrs. Gardner waited until Wendy was gone before she frowned. She looked at Colton in confusion, but she knew her
son’s character too well, so she held back her skepticism.
“Ms. Edith, please bring Miss Anderson to the guest room on the second floor.”
Ms. Edith came forward obediently upon receiving orders from Mrs. Gardner and helped Queenie with her stuff.
Quennie initially wanted to stay back and say something, but Colton interrupted her thoughts. “Wait for me
upstairs,” he said.
She shrugged off her thoughts and followed Ms. Edith up the stairs.
Once Queenie was completely out of sight, Mrs. Gardner looked at Colton and asked, “Colton, what are you trying to
pull off by bringing this woman into our house?”
Queenie had left an awful impression on her. How could she trust someone who had lied to their family for five
years?
A woman full of lies would never be likable.
Colton had no intention of hiding anything; he already knew what was on Mrs. Gardner’s mind. “She’s pregnant.”
Those two words stunned Mrs. Gardner for a hot minute before she could gather herself and spluttered, “Is it
yours?”
He pursed his lips as he remained quiet.
She went berserk at the thought that the child might be his. So, she grabbed his arms, forcing him to face her as
she stared right into his eyes. “I’m not the kind to force you into dating someone within your social class, but I will
never allow you to be with someone like Queenie!”
If she were to make a fuss about it, she wouldn’t have had her eyes on Nicole Anderson, who was barely even close
to being as wealthy as the Gardners.
To her, one’s character was way more important. After all, the Gardners had a lot of money that was more than
enough.
Plus, Mrs. Gardner’s fondness for Hayden made Nicole the perfect daughter-in-law for her.
Colton smiled as he knew exactly what his mom had in mind. Finally, he explained, “Queenie drugged me on
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrandpa’s birthday.”
That sentence infuriated Mrs. Gardner further, resulting in her pupils flaring as her whole body quivered with rage.
She had never seen such a genteel woman use such filthy means to take advantage of someone.
“This is ridiculous! Even if she really is bearing your child, I will make her abort it. What she did was just sickening!”
Mrs. Gardner’s cheeks were flushed red from her agitation. Colton tried to calm her down upon seeing that. “Mom,
calm down!”
Unfortunately, her vision started to fade into black as she clenched her chest, lightheaded from all the anger that
caused a lack of blood flow to her brain. As a result, she staggered on her feet, almost falling.
Luckily, Colton was agile enough and grabbed her just in time to prevent her from fainting due to rage.
“How can I not be furious? But, Colton Gardner, are you insane?”
Mrs. Gardner had always been very gentle, but this incident brought forth a rage that she had never felt in a long
time.
Colton didn’t want to upset her further, so he decided to come clean to her. “Mom, don’t worry. The child she’s
bearing isn’t mine.”
Mrs. Gardner’s tense face relaxed when Colton’s words registered in her mind. Thus, she subsequently sighed in
relief before lowering her voice and asking, “So, what are you up to?”
