Chapter 264
Xavier exuded an air of arrogance. His face was cold, and he remained silent. He didn't look like he would
apologize, and his expression practically screamed that he had done nothing wrong.
"Xavier, no matter what it is, Lily is pregnant. You're not only her husband, but you're going to be a father as
well. You need to take responsibility and can't just abandon her like that. This is what being a man is about,"
Shane said sternly. He showed Xavier his disappointment. Shane had always thought that although Xavier lacked
tendemess, he would still be a responsible man. Shane didn't expect Xavier to push for divorce while Lily was
pregnant. "What?" Xavier's face darkened instantly.
Lily, who was out of sorts, becalert immediately and exclaimed, "Pregnant?"
Hazel, who was observing Xavier, tomed to question Lily when she saw the shock on Xavier's face, "Lily, didn't
you tell Xavier that you are pregnant?"
"Who told you I'm pregnant?" Lily immediately understood what had happened when she recalled Hazel's recent
behavior. She had been "diagnosed as pregnant by Hazel.

"You haven't had your period for a while, Hazel whispered. "Didn't you get a check-up?"
Hazel's method of confirming a pregnancy was ridiculous. Lily scolded her, "The stress is delaying my period. I've
been taking medication to regulate it. I'm not pregnant Hazel glared at her as if accusing Lily of refusing to admit
the truth.
"I can't be pregnant!" Lily simply told Hazel "I've been on birth control pills. We never wanted children!"
Speaking softly so that the Fultons wouldn't overhear and invite more trouble, Lily kept her voice low enough
that only Hazel could bear.
Hazel looked at her for a moment and said proudly, "I knew that long ago. That's why | switched your pills! You'll
thankfor my foresight later."
"You switched...what pills?" Lily tumed pale, and no winter chill could compare to the coldness that Hazel brought
to her at that moment.
The chill spread from her heart to her entire body, draining all color from her lips. Her mind was filled with
scenes of the tHazel visited her house.
Hazel ignored her and tumed to the Fultons with an apologetic smile. "This is all Lily's fault. She didn't tell Navier
she was pregnant. Xavier only wanted a divorce because he didn't know.
"Now that you do, you wouldn't go ahead with it, would you, Xavier?"
Xavier was so speechless that he could only laugh. He wondered how Lily could lie about being pregnant without
fear of being caught. He was curious to see how she would manage to cup with a child in a few months to
cover up her lie.
"Lily, how could you keep quiet about something so big like this?" Edith had guessed that there were problems in
Lily and Xavier's marriage. Lily's silence had meant she was steadfast about the divorce.
Edith blamed Xavier instead, after running through her thoughts. "Lily is pregnant, and you didn't know. What
kind of husband are you?"
"There's no way she's pregnant," Xavier said with certainty. The birth control pills couldn't have failed.
But just as he said the words, he suddenly remembered the twhen Lily was being distant yet obedient. She
had been taking the pills incompliance every time. Something felt off

In an instant, Xavier's expression shifted. His sharp gaze landed on Lily, who was standing behind Hazel with her
head lowered.

Although he couldn't see her expression clearly, he thought she couldn't hide the guilt on her face.
Xavier clenched his jaw and stepped forward to grab Lily's wrist. He dragged her toward the car.
"Xavier, slow down!" Edith worried when she saw how rough Xavier was with Lily and chased a few steps after
them.
Hazel also shouted, "Oh dear! You can't be so rough with someone pregnant! TM
Shane sensed that something was wrong and looked at Xavier with concem, but he decided it was for Xavier to
handle it himself. Lily's face was blank as she was pulled into the passenger seat. She stared at the scenery
flashing past the window in a daze. he bottle of
She thought Xavier was taking her to the hospital for an examination. Instead, he brought her hand went
straight for the bedroom. He rock out the birth control pills from the bedside table.
Xavier poured a few pills out and studied them closely. He finally noticed the tiny "VC" mark on them.
"Uly, can you be any moge deceptive?" He turned around and grabbed her throat.
His cold fingers pressed firmly against her neck. His deep, dark eyes were filled with venomous rage, as though
he was ready to take her life in the next second. Chapter 265
