Faye Sterling’s heart was in turmoil.
Waves of fear surged through her, and she still found it hard to believe.
Every time she was with Aaron Underwood, she made him take precautions, so how could she be pregnant?
But now, her body’s condition was unmistakably telling her that she was indeed pregnant! Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs Nove1Fire.net
No, she had to get it checked thoroughly.
However, if she went to a hospital here in Aethelgard, it would surely leave traces, and she couldn’t get checked right under Alaric Faulkner’s nose.
So she had no choice but to return to Veridia City.
As long as Rosalie Ray arranged everything, she could be at ease.
Faye Sterling didn’t even eat, heading straight to her room to call Rosalie Ray.
"Mom, something terrible has happened, what should I do? You have to help me!"
Rosalie Ray had given that keepsake to Faye Sterling, thinking she was living smoothly in Aethelgard, but she hadn’t expected to receive a distress call from her.
She was immediately alarmed, hurriedly asking, "What happened? Faye, what happened to you?"
She thought her secret about the keepsake had been exposed, and her expression grew anxious.
"I... I’ll talk to you when I get back to Veridia City." Faye Sterling didn’t dare to say it over the phone.
"Alright, come back immediately."
The next day, Faye Sterling hesitated not for a moment and bought a ticket to Veridia City right away.
In the Sterlings’ living room, Rosalie Ray was anxiously waiting on the sofa for Faye Sterling’s return.
Previously, it was exposed that Faye Sterling was not George Sterling’s daughter. Although George Sterling hadn’t divorced Rosalie Ray, he no longer came close to the Sterling Family now.
She was in a state of nominal marriage with George, but Rosalie didn’t mind much. She had long since become indifferent, as occupying the title of Mrs. Sterling was enough.
"Mom." As soon as Faye Sterling entered, she threw herself into Rosalie Ray’s arms.
Rosalie Ray quickly embraced her, "Faye, what’s going on? You said something big happened last night. What is it? Has the secret about that keepsake been found out?"
Faye Sterling shook her head repeatedly, gritting her teeth as she said, "No, I... I’m pregnant."
Rosalie Ray was stunned. Her gaze shifted to Faye Sterling’s belly with delight, "You’ve finally had contact with Alaric?"
"No, the child isn’t Alaric’s."
Rosalie Ray’s eyes widened in shock, and she hurriedly clasped Faye’s arm, sternly shouting, "Faye, whose child are you carrying? What on earth happened? Tell me immediately!"
Faye Sterling was already at her wits’ end, not knowing what to do. Rosalie’s intimidation only made her cry harder in fear.
"Alaric hasn’t touched me, the child isn’t his. I don’t even know why I’m pregnant. I was so careful."
Rosalie Ray gritted her teeth, glaring at her, "Faye, how dare you! You’re cuckolding Alaric?
You haven’t even secured your place as Mrs. Faulkner yet, and doing this now will ruin your future!
If they find out about this, you won’t escape unscathed—they’ll definitely throw you out!"
In affluent families, it’s not uncommon to abandon the mother but keep the child. Faye Sterling had committed such a grave mistake that if exposed, her fate would only be this, as the Faulkner Family would never tolerate her staying.
These words threw Faye Sterling into total panic, a chill running through her, tears streaming down her face.
Although Rosalie Ray was extremely anxious, this was not the time to blame Faye Sterling.
She took several deep breaths to suppress her inner anxiety, her tone softening somewhat.
"Faye, don’t panic. Tell me exactly what’s going on so I can think of a solution for you."
With that, Faye Sterling told Rosalie Ray everything about Aaron Underwood.
