“Don’t cry, if you have any grievances, tell me, and I’ll support you. With me by your side, no one can bully you.”

Knowing that Elizabeth’s life is not good, he didn’t find joy in it, but instead, he felt distressed.

Hearing this, Elizabeth cried even more, and her tears began to overflow.

Back then, she defied Jake Leaford because their families were not compatible.

But now, Jake is a single and eligible bachelor, while she is a divorced woman. Although she is only in her twenties, she knows that there is no chance between them.

Regaining her composure, she rubbed her swollen eyes, “The people who bullied me have already been driven away by you. You said such hurtful words, and now no one dares to bully me anymore.”

Jake is pleased with Elizabeth’s words; his male pride is greatly satisfied.

With a sidelong glance at Elizabeth, he notices her short hair, big eyes, and fair skin. No matter when, she always looks like a high school student.

That Aaron Howard is blind.

He wants the woman that Aaron Howard can’t appreciate.

“How do you know Molly Walker?” Jake changes the subject. “She’s my good friend.” Elizabeth looks at him in confusion, “Do you know her

“Hmm.” Jake hesitates for a moment, “I know her ex-husband.”

“Michael Gallagher?” Hearing this, Elizabeth’s face changes, “How do you know that scumbag?”

“Hey, watch your language. What do you mean by scumbag? Michael and I have known each other since we were young, and he hardly ever messes with women. How can he be a scumbag!” Jake complains in dissatisfaction. Elizabeth sneers coldly, “He might not be messing around with women, but men instead.”

Jake: ‘

“For someone like you to speak up for him, it just shows you’re not a good man either.” Elizabeth stands up and walks away.

“I’m not a good man?” Jake blocks her, “You still don’t know what kind of man I am? How can you say something like that now, Elizabeth? You’re so ungrateful; I shouldn’t have helped you just now!”

“I didn’t ask you for help, and also…” Elizabeth stops, looks at him firmly, “We better not meet again in the future. Whenever you see me, you’d better avoid me. Anyway, there’s not much of a chance for a wealthy young master like you and a poor girl like me to meet again.”

Jake is at a loss for words, stammering, “What do you mean by young master?

Why don’t you say that you have nothing in common with Molly? Her family is much wealthier than mine.”

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth frowns.

Seeing her react as if she doesn’t know, Jake immediately grabs her, “You really don’t know? Molly is the lost daughter of the Thompson family; now she’s the wealthiest person. As a so-called ‘poor person,’ would you like to break off your friendship with her?”

Elizabeth recalls the recent news that the Thompson family’s daughter, Ivy Thompson, has been found.

She usually doesn’t pay attention to wealthy family news, but she didn’t expect the news’ central figure to come into her life.

“You mean Molly is Ivy Thompson?” Elizabeth asks in amazement, once again.

Jake nods, “Exactly, what a coincidental and cliché twist.” “And she’s divorced from Michael Gallagher, right?”

“Hmm…” But Michael regrets it.

Seeing her interested, Jake raises his eyebrows and asks, “Do you have any more questions? I’ll tell you everything.”

Elizabeth looks at him coldly, “You’re defending someone who abandoned his wife and child…Jake, do you have any morals?”

“Speaking up for this type of person, being friends with him, don’t you fear divine retribution?”

“You’re all vile creatures… Sicken.”

Elizabeth quickly walks away, leaving Jake confused.

Abandoning his wife and child? Who?

Michael Gallagher?

“Hey, Elizabeth, wait!” Jake strides over to block her, “Explain yourself, who abandoned their wife and child? Does Michael have a son?”

Seeing how Jake doesn’t seem to know, Elizabeth gets even angrier, “Molly was pregnant, and he still divorced her. If that’s not abandoning his wife and child, then what is? Speaking up for someone like him, Jake, just as I thought, you’re trash, you are all trash.”

Hearing this, Jake immediately understands the situation.

So that’s what it’s all about.

How can Molly be so reckless? You can say anything you want, but you can’t just admit anyone as your father!

In this day and age, men are too eager to accept that they are fathers. Michael has been saying that he hasn’t touched Molly throughout their married life, so the child in her womb can’t possibly be from the Gallagher family!

“Elizabeth, listen to me, I know Molly is your friend, and you’re always on her side, but the baby in her belly is not Michael’s.”

“It’s not Michael Gallagher’s?” Elizabeth is stunned, “That’s impossible! Molly wouldn’t bear a child for someone else.’

She loved Michael so much that she insisted on marrying him: how could she have a relationship with someone else?

And she certainly wouldn’t be pregnant with another man’s child.

“It’s really not Michael’s.” Jake is determined to clear his good friend’s name, “Michael told me that they had never been intimate in these three years, so where would the baby come from?”

“Besides, Molly was the one who proposed the divorce. She told Michael that she had fallen for someone else and asked him to let her go.”

The more Jake talks, the more he feels sorry for his close friend.

It took Michael a long time to get divorced and avoid being a father, but now he is chasing after Molly again. This is like just avoiding the green hat and becoming a cuckold again.

No, he must report this to Michael and not let him unknowingly become a father for no reason.

Listening to Jake’s words, Elizabeth becomes silent.

In her heart, she believes that Molly wouldn’t be that kind of person.

However, not being intimate for three years is something that Michael could do.

Marrying in secret made her think that Michael never intended to get married in the first place.

She and Molly are both from average families, and they can’t get any help from their parents’ generation. They need to struggle on their own when they come out into the world; the best option is to find an ordinary person and live an ordinary life.

They shouldn’t mess with wealthy families. Climbing too high would only result in humiliation.

Although she didn’t end up marrying an ordinary guy and living a good life, she thought of wealthy families as bottomless pits. What she never expected was that Molly turned out to be the lost fourth young lady of the Thompson family.

It seems only she remains poor.

Seeing Elizabeth looking desolate, Jake feels regretful.

Since childhood, Elizabeth has never felt secure when it comes to money. Strangely enough, this hasn’t made her love money; rather, she’s somewhat afraid of it.

It also makes her fear people like him who are associated with money.

“Don’t overthink it. If Michael really is a bad person, I’ll beat him up for Molly.”

Elizabeth laughs, “He’s your good buddy. Will he get mad if you beat him up for Molly?”

“That won’t matter as much as your friendship. Your friend is my friend.”

Elizabeth’s lips curl into a smile. Although she knows he’s just trying to cajole her, her heart is still warmed by his words. Seeing her smiling, Jake also laughs.

He finally managed to appease her.

Molly stands outside the door, watching the two people inside chatting and laughing in surprise and wonder.

She doesn’t have a bad impression of Jake Leaford, and it seems that Elizabeth might have some feelings for him.

Jake escorts Elizabeth out, and she walks toward Molly, linking their hands, “Let’s go.”

Molly pats her hand, and Elizabeth feels her heart warm up when she sees Molly acting the same as before.

Thinking of Jake’s words, Elizabeth grabs Molly’s hand and asks solemnly, “Molly, tell me honestly, whose child is it in your belly?”
