Goodbye, Ex-husband! I'm Pregnant with Your Uncle's Child!

After the effects of the anesthetic wore off, Julia Land woke up.

Julia turned her head and saw James Thompson standing by the window.

Upon seeing her wake up, James said, "You're awake."

The effects of the anesthetic had worn off, but she still felt a bit weak and limp.

She thought the abortion was already done.

Unexpectedly, James suddenly said, "The abortion isn't done yet, the baby is still there."

Julia frowned, "What do you mean?"

Her voice was hoarse and she was thirsty.

James came over, poured a cup of water, helped her sit up to drink it, and after she finished, he said, "Noah Quarter."

Julia's face turned slightly pale.

Indeed, he really knew Noah Quarter.

Expressionless, she asked indifferently, "Are you going to tell him? Even if you tell him I'm pregnant, it's no use, he won't want the child."

"Not going to," James pulled over a chair, sat down, and lazily said while looking at her, "I'm not close to him, I won't tell him about this."

James saw the wariness on her face.

He said with a relaxed attitude, "When I say something, I mean it."

Julia didn't say a word, just looking at him skeptically.

James chuckled under his breath.

"Don't worry, I really won't tell him. About the surgery, I've arranged for another famous doctor for you; he can be here tomorrow."

James made a promise.

He said, "This child is related to me after all."

What James meant by relation was that he was the baby's father, but Julia thought he meant they were relatives.

Julia nodded, tentatively believing his words for the time being.

"Do you love him a lot?" the man suddenly asked.

Caught off guard by the question, Julia was stunned for a moment, "What?"

James repeated, "Do you love Noah Quarter?"

Julia smiled faintly, a self-mocking smile, "I've loved him for four years."

Now she didn't dare to love him anymore.

James looked down, quickly typed a line of text on his phone, and posted a question online: "How would she feel if she discovered that she had slept with a man she doesn't love?"

The internet responded with a flood of answers, most of which were: "In unbearable pain," "A nightmare for life."

James felt a headache coming on when he saw these responses.

It seemed this matter had to be kept secret for the time being.

He twirled his phone, his knuckles prominent and fingers nimble and long, he looked at Julia very seriously and said, "I can take care of that Shaw woman for you, do you need me to?"

Julia was momentarily unable to react.

She had not expected that he also knew about Arabella Shaw and Noah Quarter's affair.

She looked at James and saw that he was not joking.

"No... no need," she replied dryly. She wasn't familiar with James, and it seemed strange, "His heart is not with me, a melon forced to be picked from the vine is not sweet. But why do you want to help me?"

James smiled lazily, "Just consider it a good deed."

"..."

She didn't quite believe that.

Her marriage to Noah Quarter was merely a contractual agreement.

It was she who naively got emotionally involved.

James took a pen out of his lab coat pocket, grabbed Julia's hand, and quickly wrote a phone number in her palm, "If you change your mind, you can contact me."

Julia watched his retreating figure as he left the ward, then looked down at the number in her palm.

"Arabella Shaw is the love deeply buried in his heart; without her, he would only remember her more. I, Julia Land, am not so depraved to stoop that low. Just give me a little time, and I'll excise him from my heart."

Julia smiled faintly, took the remote control, and casually turned on the TV.

Suddenly, her body stiffened.

*

At that moment, the TV was on the financial news channel.

A live broadcast was happening in the Quarter Group meeting hall.

The person speaking on the stage was Grandma Quarter.

Grandma Quarter was the former chairman of the Quarter Group.

She sat in her wheelchair, smiling as she announced, "I am here to declare that ten percent of my shares will be given to my granddaughter-in-law, Julia Land."

The crowd below immediately burst into an uproar.

Who is Julia Land?

Which family's daughter is she?

When did Director Quarter get married?

Just yesterday afternoon the famous female singer Arabella Shaw was spotted on a date with Noah Quarter, Chairman of Quarter Group.

To everyone's surprise, Grandma Quarter publicly released such a message today.

Lying on the hospital bed, Julia Land was utterly unaware of what had happened.

She had only passed out for two hours, only to wake up and find out everyone knew she was married to Noah Quarter.

Why had Grandma Quarter suddenly made the news of her marriage to Noah public?

And she had... given her shares of the stock.

Julia felt things were getting out of control.

She hurriedly searched for her phone and turned it on.

As soon as it was on, she saw many text messages.

Julia didn't look at the messages; she waited for the press conference to end and immediately called Grandma Quarter.

"Grandma, why did you suddenly go public?"

She had already been preparing to divorce Noah.

The sudden revelation of her marriage caught her off guard.

Grandma Quarter's voice was as kind as ever, "Little Julia, you've been wronged these past few days, why didn't you tell me when she returned? If I hadn't seen the news of Noah and Arabella dining together last afternoon, I would have been kept in the dark by you two."

Julia touched her belly, her eyes unintentionally becoming slightly red.

For this child not meant to be, and for the feelings she had once invested.

"Grandma, I can't take the Quarter shares."

"Silly child, with the Quarter shares, you'll have money in the future, and these shares are Grandma's gift to your future grandsons and granddaughters."

Once Grandma Quarter made a decision, it was very hard to change.

Julia rubbed her temples, planning to return the shares to the Quarter Family later.

After talking for a while, Grandma Quarter was tired, and Julia hung up the phone.

Just after hanging up, she received a call from Noah Quarter.

"Julia Land! You're really something, aren't you!"

Noah was very frustrated, his usually cold voice taking on a chilly edge.

"Congratulations, now everyone knows you are Mrs. Quarter with Quarter shares."

He really hadn't expected Julia to be so cunning.

Julia rubbed her temples, took a deep breath, "Noah, Grandma's sudden decision, I had no idea, I will return the Quarter shares to the family."

Noah Quarter laughed coldly, "It's too late to say anything now, you'd better come back quickly so we can get divorced, the only wife I will ever acknowledge is Arabella."

Julia no longer wanted to talk; since Noah had brought up divorce, at least she wouldn't have to pay a penalty for breach of contract, "I'll come back tomorrow."

She hung up the phone directly.

Noah Quarter stared at the hung-up phone, irritably tugging at his tie.

Alexander Strong saw nothing, the nose saw the heart.

"Try to suppress those online news stories; I don't want them affecting Arabella."

Arabella Shaw was a big star, and now many online were calling her a home-wrecker.

Alexander nodded and left to handle it.

Sitting on the sofa, Arabella Shaw's face showed a touch of pallor; she stood up, walked over, and hugged Noah Quarter around the waist.

Her face against his chest, her voice melodious yet fragile, "Noah, why does Grandma never like me? What did I do wrong?"

Noah Quarter smoothed out the anger on his face, holding her shoulder, his handsome face softening, "Arabella, don't be sad, you're good, it's me who's not good. If it weren't to reassure Grandma back then, I would not have agreed to a marriage with Julia."

Arabella Shaw tiptoed, gently kissing his jaw, "No, it's my fault, I must not be good enough yet, but I don't want to let go this time."

As her kiss was about to land on his lips, Noah Quarter suddenly thought of Julia's stunning and extravagant face for a moment.

He slightly turned his head away.

Arabella Shaw looked at him with teary eyes.

Affected by the tears of his beloved, Noah Quarter held her tightly.

"Stop crying," he lifted her chin and cooed.

There was a rest area in the office.

Noah Quarter carried Arabella Shaw sideways, heading towards the rest area.

Arabella's face blushed, her beautiful eyes filled with affection as she clung to the man's neck, "If I get pregnant, will Grandma accept me then?"

"I don't want you to feel wronged," Noah Quarter laid her on the bed, "I want you in a wedding gown first, be good, you go to sleep first, by the time you wake up, the internet issues will be dealt with."

Arabella Shaw bit her red lips; she really didn't feel wronged.

As long as there was a child, that old woman should compromise.

Just as Noah Quarter was about to get up, Arabella Shaw pulled him back.

They had been dating in college, and their first time had already been given to each other.

This time back in the country, he had been restraining himself from going all the way with her, which made her very uneasy.

Arabella Shaw thought of Julia, her eyes closed, eyelashes trembling slightly.

She kissed his brow, "Noah, I've really missed you these past years, I have been missing you a lot."

Seeing her trembling lashes, Noah Quarter ultimately did not push away her hand reaching into his clothes.
