During the examination, Peter detected some minor bleeding from Esme’s womb. So he her some tocolytic agents

When Esme wanted to get up from the table, Peter ordered her coldly, “Lie down!”

Esme lay back and wept again. “I did not intend to harm Sally. It was really her own doing. She was drinking alcohol
and in a bad mood. I wanted to bring her to a hotel to rest… I didn’t think

“You can stop lying now!” Peter glared at her with his brooding, loathing eyes. “No matter how much you speak to
me, I will never believe a word you say! I’m only saving you for the sake of the child in your womb!”

her like this before. His eyes were filled with hatred, as though he was looking at human filth.
Seeing him like this made her perturbed and terrified. It had been quite some time since she had returned to
Fortuna but she had not successfully exacted revenge on Fia yet. So she could not afford to lose Peter as an ally.
Ignoring Esme, Peter continued to cook up more tocolytic agents for the baby.
Not wanting to upset Peter anymore, Esme lay on the examination table obediently.
Both of them knew exactly how they got together. If Esme did not appear in his life, Peter would have a lot of
options in life. As for Esme, she did not love him but she needed him for his abilities.
Esme knew that Peter was so much more than he let on. He was backed by a massive, powerful organization. She
knew that the hotel that was closed down actually ran shady businesses and it was all because Peter told her.
Half an hour later, Peter tossed a bottle of tocolytic agent to Esme. “Get up. I’ll send you back to the Thomas
household.”
Esme hugged his hand and said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that.”
Peter glared at her indifferently. “Just so you know. Even if I let you off, the others will still come for you.
Esme shook in horror. “… I… I really did not intend to do anything to Sally. I didn’t know that hotel was that shady. I
was just bringing her there to rest…”
Suddenly, Peter strangled Esme’s neck. “I told you. Don’t bother explaining to me!”
He wanted to strangle her to death right then and there!
Esme gazed at him with her teary, puppy eyes. “Mr. Hall, I want to be your bride… Let’s give our baby a home…”
Peter pushed her away irritably. “Get ready. I’ll send you to the Thomas household!”
“Mr. Hall, please! I meant it!” Esme mustered up her courage and hugged him from behind. “I don’t want to seek
revenge anymore. Let’s get married, okay? Let’s live out the rest of our life peacefully.”
Peter gave her a sarcastic grin. “I saved your life and helped you get a new face. All I ask is that you behave
yourself. Yet what did you do in return? Now that you’ve messed everything up, you want to keep on using me?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm‘… No, I really am hoping for the best for our baby. I want it to be born safely, to grow up happily. I would give up on
vengeance for our baby,” Esme said tearfully. Her words sounded so heartfelt that she seemed sincere this time.1
Peter took in a deep breath and looked at the ceiling. How nice would it be if she really meant. it? This time, Sally
was not harmed. But what about in the future? Not only that, Esme could plot something against his parents too!
Perhaps it was time for him to put aside his plan to seek revenge and leave with her. By bringing her away from his
family, she would not be able to do anything to harm them.
Yeah, that sounded like a good plan. They should leave. If she remained in Gryphon, Esme would keep on plotting
something behind his back.
Even if he married her, Peter could not afford to have Esme near his family! Doing that would mean giving her a
chance to harm them!
And he had given Sally that bank card. The money in that bank account would be enough for them to live the rest
of their lives without needing to worry about money. This would mean he had taken care of them too, right?
“Mr. Hall, I’m not lying. Let’s get married, shall we? I’ll plan and handle the wedding.” Esme spoke to him gently,
trying to soothe Peter’s anger and suspicion. This was all she could do now. She could not afford to lose Peter Hall
just yet.
