Ch. 2051..2060
Chapter 2051 "What did she do instead? She simply just did not like me. If you and your mother's relationship turns sour because of me, I will not be able to bear that. Ruth! I forbid you from saying such words.
Have you forgotten how much you liked me back then? You were so madly in love with me and afraid that I would dump you.
What's going on now? Are you all capable of being away from me now?"
Ruth looked at Ryan as she felt unwilling to let him go. "I love you now as well. I am madly in love with you. However, I have now learned that I need to love myself even more. I am no longer that shrewish and unreasonable woman that I was a few years ago.
I am independent and self-reliant now. I have my pride, Ryan."
Ruth was very calm when she spoke. Her calmness made Ryan love her more and more. Ryan felt that Ruth was becoming more and more similar to Sabrina. She had that kind of calmness and confidence that was exuding from deep within.
"Woman! I forbid you to leave me! That's a must!" The man suddenly hugged Ruth very domineeringly. He was very strong, so Ruth was unable to break free from him at all. of course, she also had never wanted to break free, to begin with, she just snuggled in Ryan's arms like that, and gradually, both of them got into the mood. The man then threw the woman onto the middle of the bed.
The woman called out gently. "Ryan..."
"Woman, watch how I'll deal with you! I will put my seeds in you and impregnate you tonight! I'll see how you can leave me!"
Upon saying those worse, Ryan then swooped down with a kiss. Ruth pushed back. "You're annoying!"
The lights in the bedroom were switched off very quickly. The temperature inside the bedroom, however, got warmer and warmer.
The next morning when the sun was already high up in the sky, Ryan and Ruth still had not woken up. After all, they had gone overboard with their passionate love making the night before. On top of that, Ruth was also slightly tired from giving her future mother-in-law a foot massage last night. Therefore, she was very sound asleep.
However, Ruth’s future mother-in-law, who was in another room, woke up very early and she slept very well the night before.
Things were indeed different after having a deep tissue massage on both her feet and she slept much better. After getting up early in the morning, Patricia washed up and dressed up. After she got herself impressively made up, she came to knock on Ruth and Ryan's door. She simply wanted to get this woman with disheveled hair and dirtied face out of her son's house. She just felt disgusted looking at this lowly woman!
"Open up! Ryan! How can you behave in such a manner! The sun is already sky high and you're still not out of bed! You're truly getting more and more out of hand! It's true that one will be influenced by the kind of people they're with! Could it be that after a few years, you'll also be like those masseurs giving others foot rubs at a bathhouse after learning from her?"
The couple, who were sound asleep, were suddenly awoken. Ruth instantly felt a headache after hearing the shoutings from outside. She pulled Ryan’s ear in one fell swoop. "Listen to me, Poole! I am born a shrew! You say that I am not a suitable match for you because my family's not as prestigious as yours, but I, on the other hand, felt that you're not worthy to be with me! If your mom curses at me again when I open the door for her in a moment, I will not be polite anymore! I just want to beat her up! What about that? Should I even respect her?"
Ruth was truly exasperated. This future mother-in-law of hers had been unreasonable since yesterday! she should never have gone overboard! Ruth had been with Ryan for more than a year, she had met Ryan's mother a few times, and had shared quite a few meals with her, but why was it that she had never realized that her future mother-in-law was such a difficult person?
She angrily went to open the door, she truly intended to have a huge argument with her future mother-in-law. However, right at that moment when the door was opened, Ruth suddenly made a dry -heaving sound. "Oh...I...I feel like throwing up."
Chapter 2052 While saying those words, Ruth ran to the bathroom in an incomparably wretched manner while covering her mouth. She bent over the toilet and heaved for a long while but she did not throw up anything. After all, she had not eaten anything the whole night before, so she only had dry heaves.
Ryan was very confused as he looked at Ruth. "Ruth, you...what's the matter? Have you got food poisoning? what's the situation? What did you eat yesterday?"
Right when he asked those questions, Patricia also arrived following behind him. she suspiciously asked Ruth, who was still throwing up. "You...how long have you been like this?"
Ruth was still throwing up, and she just could not answer her.
Ryan, on the other hand, became even more anxious. He pushed his mother away and said, "Mom! Can you not be so harsh?
Ruth is already in this state. Watch the tone when you speak! Why do I feel the reason she is throwing up is that the duration she washed your feet yesterday was too long?
"You..." She glared at her son, Patricia turned around and headed out in anger. She walked to the dining room and dialed a set of numbers with her phone. "Austin, something bad has happened..."
At another end, Ryan squatted to support Ruth. "Ruth, what exactly is wrong? Quickly! I'll send you to the hospital now!"
Ruth instantly blushed, she raised her hand and punched Ryan. " How annoying! You truly have jinxed it! Whatever you say is coming true!"
Ryan was confused, "What are you saying? I said I'll send you to the hospital because you're sick. If you're sick, you have to go to the hospital."
Ruth poked Ryan. "You men only knew how to be reckless! what do you truly know? Have you forgotten what you said last night?"
'What have I said last night?' Ryan could not even recall it anymore. Last night, when both of them were glued together, he had said plenty of things, and it was all unbearably sweet words. Which was it then?
Seeing that the man was in a daze, Ruth was both annoyed and amused. "You still look like a child yourself! How can you be a father? Last night, you said that you'll put your seeds in me and impregnate me immediately! How annoying! It has only been a few hours, and you've already forgotten it! I hate you!"
The more Ruth spoke, the more coquettish she acted. Ryan, on the other hand, already understood her. He was truly stunned.
Then, what followed was a great joy. After that, Ryan suddenly carried Ruth in his arms, and said while his voice was trembling in excitement, "Ruth, are you...are you serious? You're...you're saying that you're...pregnant? It can't be...that quick, right? I had just put my seeds in you yesterday, and you're now..."
Ruth smiled instead. "F*ckyou! You repeatedly claim that you love me, but you did not care about me at all! My period has been late for more than twenty days this month! I even secretly bought a test two days ago. Although the two lines were not that obvious, I think if we try it again now, it will definitely be very obvious."
After saying that, Ruth's face also was filled with a happy smile. Ever since Ruth and Ryan had decided the date to be married, they no longer used any contraceptives. Actually, it had only been a couple of months. However, since Ryan was young and strong while Ruth was also very young, it was very easy for the two of them to get pregnant.
At that moment, the anger and unhappiness in Ruth's heart had instantly vanished, and what was left was a heart filled with happiness.
Ryan, on the other hand, was so excited that he kept saying in repeat. "Am I going to be a father? Am I really going to be a father?
I, Ryan Poole, am also going to be a father? I am only one year later than Uncle Alex?"
Ruth poked him again. "It's only been a month now. when the child is born eight months later, Uncle Alex's son would already be two years old!"
"That's still quite early. It's still quite early! Haha!" Ryan rubbed his head as he let out a foolish grin. After that, immediately said, "
Let's go. I'll take you to the hospital now! Let's go have a checkup!"
Upon saying those words, Ryan immediately carried Ruth in his arms. "Hey, don't. Your mother is still outside..."
However, it was already too late by the time she said those words, Ryan had already carried her out. When they got out of the bedroom, they saw that Patricia was still on the phone. "Based on my experience, she should be pregnant already!"
Chapter 2053 "This son of ours is too foolish! How could he make her pregnant? The child to be born certainly will not be of noble birth any more!"
Just as Patricia said those words, Ryan already came to the front of her while carrying Ruth in his arms. He looked coldly at his own mother. "If you despise our child for being lowly, then don't be our child’s grandmother! I want to let you see how Ruth and I will raise this child with you as the grandmother! I'll tell you as well! My child can also not be a Poole! Do you know Uncle Sebastian's daughter? She is not a Ford, but her last name is Scott instead! In the future, my child's last name can also be Mann! If the child is a Mann, then no matter if the child is noble or lowly, the child will have nothing to do with the Poole family anymore!"
After saying that, Ryan headed out, carrying Ruth in his arms.
He usually never disobeyed his mother like that. He just wanted to give his mother a scare, so that she would keep her within bounds a little more and not create any troubles. Also, Ryan felt that no matter if it was the Ford family of South city or the Poole family of Kidon City, these few young ladies who married into these families were all peasants.
Sabrina was one, Ryan's Aunt was one, Ruth was also one. However, all three of these women were outstanding.
They were not diffident and vain.
That was particularly so for Sabrina, she was independent, broadminded, and was simply Sebastian's capable assistant. Just Sabrina alone absolutely would not lose to any man at all.
There was also Ryan's Aunt Jane. Although she was as great as Sabrina who could take charge on her own, she was very good at managing a household and was very capable of comforting those subordinates' families. His Aunt Jane's role was simply like the leader of a women's rights group. All the families of his Uncle Alex's subordinates admired his Aunt Jane very much. That made his Uncle Alex's work much easier to develop. His Aunt Jane was simply his Uncle Alex’s mainstay.
They were great! Once again, Ryan felt that they were beyond great. No matter if it was his Aunt Jane or Sabrina, they were much more outstanding than those so-called ladies from eminent families. Who were those ladies from eminent families? Lily Parker, Maysun Kemp, or his aunt, Emma Poole? Or Mindy Mann, who had forcefully occupied someone else's family and home?
Were any of them good? All of them were filthy and stinky beyond measure! Ryan did not care for any of them at all. At that moment, he only cared about his own lovely wife! 1 While driving to the hospital, whenever he encountered a traffic light, he personally called his friends. Sabrina, Uncle Alex, Marcus, Zayn, including Nigel and Minerva, Ryan had informed them all. Every time he made a call, he joyfully repeated, "I have some good news for you. I, Ryan Poole, am going to be a father! I am going to be a father! Hahaha!"
All of the people on the other end of the calls were incredibly happy when they heard him saying that. Yvonne and Sabrina were particularly so. When they heard that news, they immediately rushed to the hospital as well.
When both Sabrina and Yvonne arrived at the hospital in a hurry, Ruth had already completed all of the checkups that should have been done. Both of them saw Ruth and Ryan, who had just come out and was holding the test results in hand, in the corridor in the gynecology department. Ryan was beaming with joy while Ruth, on the other hand, was looking anxious. Sabrina immediately came to Ruth and asked with concern, "Ruth, what's...what's the matter? Why are you not happy?"
She looked at Sabrina with a sad expression. "Sabrina, I...am pregnant with twins."
Chapter 2054 Sabrina was speechless. Both her eyes were widened. It was after a pause that lasted a few seconds long that she regained her senses. After that, she lowered her voice to ask, "what-what did you say?"
"I am pregnant with twins!" Ruth pursed her lips and her face was still as bitter.
Sabrina raised her hands and wanted to smack Ruth. Her hand was already going to land on Ruth's shoulder, but Sabrina lowered it again. She then pinched Ruth's clothes and said fiercely, "You! You're pissing me off! You're pregnant with twins!
Twins! Why do you have such a sad expression? I thought you had some condition! You should be happy having twins! You silly head!"
Ruth hardly ever acted in a spoiled manner, but she just wanted to do so that day. She had lost her family for almost three years.
She clearly had parents. However, not only did they not provide her any affections, but they even almost got her killed. Later on, she learned that they were not her real parents, but they were her uncle and aunt. However, her aunt and uncle should also be her family as well? They had raised her since childhood and she had been addressing them as father and mother for her whole life, and yet, they cruelly forced her into a dead end!
In the past couple of years, no matter if Ruth was arrogant, humble, or wanting to act in a spoiled manner at that moment because she was pregnant with twins, a major reason for those behaviors were because she had a large and deep hole at the deepest end of her heart. It was that kind of a large bloody hole that was dug out by her parents, she had no family anymore, she was very terrified, alone, helpless, and feeling very inferior.
However, it was all good at that moment. She was pregnant, and she was carrying twins. She was feeling so excited that she cried and her brows were tightly knitted, she was so excited that she became incomparably unreasonable, "what? what is so good about twins? When the time comes, my belly is going to be so big that I will be swaying from side to side and I wouldn't be able to walk properly. I won't even be able to see the road in front of me. Also... also, if it's twins, it's harder for the body to recover. My belly is going to be stretched beyond its limits. My figure is going to be very bad. what should I do then?"
In fact, she was feeling very happy. However, she was just being dramatic, so much so that Sabrina was so covered in goosebumps when she heard it, and she felt like smacking her again. "Try being dramatic again! I will tear your lips apart till they reach your ears!"
"Hahaha.-.Sabrina, I'm already pregnant, but you're not even cherishing me a little." Ruth said.
Sabrina felt annoyed. "I am not a man! If you want someone to cherish you, go find your man!"
At that moment, Ryan, who was next to Ruth, immediately smiled. "Me, me, me! Ruth, you're a person with a husband, why do you want my Aunt Sabrina to cherish you? I, your husband, will cherish you!"
Ruth glanced at Ryan and she found a person she could act spoiled towards. "You'll cherish me? Then when the time comes, don't be frightened off by me when you see me looking just as fat as a pig after I have given birth."
Yvonne, who had just arrived in a rush, stifled a laugh. She almost laughed aloud.
"Ruth! You're such a shrew! After you've given birth to twins, and when you're cursing at others on the streets while putting your hands on your waist, would you still have a waistline then?" said Ruth with a feeling of schadenfreude while smiling.
Ruth immediately acted in a spoiled manner towards Ryan again. " Look! Look at this woman! She is poking fun at me again!
Why don't you take revenge for me?"
Ryan scratched his head. "First of all, Yvonne is your best friend. If I seek revenge on your behalf, and then you seek revenge for your best friend and beat me up, then I would have lost more than I gained."
"Haha!" Yvonne smiled even more smugly.
Ryan, however, smiled. "We're pregnant now. You're already a mother. Let's not be angry at Yvonne. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll bring you here. You're pregnant, so I can't let you be hungry."
"I don't want to eat!" Ruth felt like throwing up once she mentioned eating.
"Huh?" Ryan became a little dizzy. He just could not figure out what his wife wanted to do.
"Wouldn't I get fatter the more I eat?" Ruth was still worried about her good figure all the time.
Chapter 2055 "My precious wife, listen to me. You don't have to worry. Even if you truly become a sow and have a straight figure with no waist in the future, I will still love you. what I love the most in this life is wrapping my hand around a straight figure with no well-defined waistline while shopping."
Ruth was speechless, she was actually feeling very happy, but she simply could not get enough of acting spoiled that day. Mainly it was also because she was feeling aggrieved, she had spent forty minutes washing her future mother-in-law's feet the night before. If she knew that she was pregnant last night, even if her future mother-in-law's words were out of this world, she never would have been that humble!
When she thought about it at that moment, what a loss it was for her! Ruth was already carrying the child of the Poole family, but her existence was still not like the queen mother in the Poole family? Therefore, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. The more aggrieved she felt, the more she pouted. "I simply don't want to eat! I want to go shopping! I want to shop everywhere and buy myself clothes and lipsticks. I want to shop in all the streets and alleys! I, Ruth Mann, am simply a shrew! I just want to shop like a rich upstart! What about it?"
"Yes! Alright! I will accompany you while you shop," Ryan immediately coaxed. He also knew how deeply Ruth was aggrieved the night before, so it was beneficial to her and also to their babies for her to vent her feelings like that.
"Let's go! Go with me!" Ruth moved as she spoke.
A group of people immediately followed behind her. Both Sabrina and Yvonne were following behind on either side of Ruth and they wanted to support her as she walked. In the end, before they caught up to Ruth, Ruth was carried by Ryan in his arms. Both of them looked so sweet which made Yvonne and Sabrina could not help but smile while following behind them.
After they got out of the hospital, Ryan drove the three of them to a very lively pedestrian mall before letting Ruth go. The three women then walked slowly shoulder to shoulder. Ryan followed behind them like a shadow. At some point, while Ryan was following behind the three of them, Marcus also came to the side of Ryan. Ryan was startled. "How did you get her?"
Marcus smiled. "I arrived at the hospital slightly later than Yvonne and Ruth. Before I got out of the car, I saw all of you coming out, so I followed you all the way here. Ryan! Congratulations! You're actually a father now!"
Marcus had been following behind them for a few minutes, and he could tell from what he heard that his cousin, Ruth, was pregnant.
"Not only am I going to be a father, but I am going to be a father of two! Ruth is pregnant with twins!"
"Real-really? My cousin is so capable?" Marcus asked.
Ryan punched Marcus. "Hurry up and marry Yvonne, then you also can become a father right away."
Marcus glanced at Yvonne and was speechless.
At that moment, Ruth also asked Yvonne, "That's right, Yvonne, you and my cousin have already been in a relationship for almost two years, but you guys are still not getting married. How long are you playing to drag it out?"
Yvonne shrugged her shoulders and smiled helplessly. "I...I actually have a fear of marriage. It's because I have seen plenty of how Old Master Shaw treated Sabrina, so once I got to the Poole family, I would be a little afraid of him. Then, I do not dare to..."
1 Marcus immediately held Yvonne's hand and said to her firmly, "It won't happen. It really won't happen, Yvonne. The old man is very well-behaved now. He is also getting older, so he could not be arrogant and domineering anymore. Besides, even if he bullies you, you still have me backing you up. Don't worry."
Sabrina also persuaded Yvonne. "Yvonne, you're not that young anymore. You can't keep having the fear of marriage. Hurry up and get married to my cousin soon, alright?"
Yvonne was actually the same as Ruth. She always listened to Sabrina the most, since Sabrina asked her to get married sooner, she then shyly nodded her head. "Alright. After Ruth's wedding, I will prepare for my wedding, but by then, Ruth will not be able to be my bridesmaid anymore."
Speaking of that, Yvonne gave Ruth a punch. "Ruth, I don't care, I want you, the pregnant lady, to be my bridesmaid. Ruth, Ruth?
Why are you...suddenly crying?"
At that very moment, Ruth was looking ahead with teary eyes. " They..."
Chapter 2056 "Ruth, what's the matter?" asked Yvonne. She followed Ruth's line of sight and looked over. Only then did Yvonne see that plane trees were lined on either side of the pedestrian mall, and two people were actually kneeling next to the trash can under one of the trees not far from them. Yvonne felt that the man looked very familiar. She looked at him quite a while before she recalled that the man was Ruth's father. After Yvonne carefully looked at the woman, she noticed that if that woman was not Ruth’s mother, then who could she be?
At that very moment, the married couple was also stunned while looking at Ruth. The shock and longing in both of the couple's eyes were rich beyond measure.
Even though she already learned that they were not her parents two years ago, Ruth subconsciously blurted out, "Dad...Mom?"
Not only were they not her parents, but they had been using her resources since childhood and let Mindy snatch away everything that was supposed to be Ruth's. Not only that, but they even almost got Ruth killed.
However, times have changed and two years have already gone by. When Ruth saw her parents again at that moment, she already did not have that much resentment anymore, when she saw them wearing tattered clothes with holes everywhere, Ruth only felt sad.
However, when Mister and Missus Mann saw Ruth, especially when they heard Ruth still addressing them as dad and mom, both of them had a mixed feeling showing on their faces.
"Ruth...," Mister Mann called out awkwardly. His hair was severely matted. Ruth was even able to vaguely see lice crawling all over his hair.
"Ruth, how...are you...doing now? Are you...doing quite well?" Missus Mann smiled with embarrassment.
Her smile was filled with expectations. It also had a tinge of innate greed. The way she looked made Ruth immediately think of her mother's viciousness. Since childhood, Ruth's mother had never allowed her to study, telling her that it was useless for her to study. She had taught Ruth how to be vulgar and how to fight others for things growing up. However, her mother had treated her cousin differently, since childhood, Ruth's cousin had been taught how to be pampered and how to get to college. To think about it, they had had a vicious plan ever since they raised Ruth. What they gave Ruth was never love but a vicious plan. Ruth, who was originally joyful because she was pregnant with twins, instantly felt so heartbroken as if her heart was bleeding.
Ruth smiled. "Mom, I...have good news for you."
"What good news, Ruth? Are you going to...take US back... Your cousin, she..." Missus Mann immediately asked.
"I am pregnant, and I am carrying twins. It's already been two months," said Ruth.
Missus Mann was speechless.
"Is my cousin alright?" Ruth asked again.
Back then when Mister and Missus Mann and their family of three repeatedly failed to set up and kill Ruth and when they thought of ways to set up Sabrina, Sebastian had handed them over to Ryan and let him deal with them. It so happened that Sebastian and Sabrina were going to star Island at that time. If it were up to Ryan's temper, he truly would have fed all three of them to the wolves. However, Ruth still could not bear to do that.
After all, they were her parents who had raised her for more than 20 years. If not for the things that had happened later on, Ruth would have always felt that they were her biological parents, so how could she be that cruel? Ruth then pleaded with Ryan in tears and asked him to spare the three of them.
Later on, Marcus also came. Although Marcus and Mindy were not related by blood, Mindy still had grown up in the Shaw family, after all. Therefore, after both Marcus and Ruth pleaded with Ryan to show the three of them mercy, Ryan still spared the lives of Mister Mann, Missus Mann, and Mindy in the end. He asked them to fend for themselves and never to appear in front of Ruth again. Two years have passed since then, and they truly have not appeared before Ruth.
Chapter 2057 1 However, It was as if they were destined to meet again that day.
Back then, they schemed against Ruth and had desperately forced her into a dead end. However, at that moment, Ruth was so happy, living so well, beautiful, independent, and had a rich and honorable air to her. The more Mister Mann, Missus Mann, and Mindy were arrogant back then, the worse they ended up at that moment. Was this them getting their just desserts? Ruth used the news of her carrying twins to tell Mister and Missus Mann what retribution is.
Missus Mann was first startled when she heard the news, immediately after that, a trace of gloom flashed across her face. Even though Missus Mann did not say anything, Ruth also could feel that until that moment, Missus Mann still felt that her biological daughter Mindy, should have been more outstanding, but Mindy did not get anything in the end. On the other hand, Ruth, this shrew, this uncultured and uneducated woman who had been a bumpkin since childhood, married into a rich family instead, and she even got pregnant with twins.
Ruth had already let go of many things in the past. "Mom, I was originally a child from a rich family, am I not? My biological parents were highly educated and my aunt and uncle were a part of the Shaw family. It was you and my dad who forcefully turned me into a shrew, wasn't it?"
Missus Mann had no choice but to smile awkwardly. "Ruth, you... you are now very happy. Your difficult times are finally over and your good times are here. I...I wish you the best. It has already been so many years. We already knew our mistakes. Your cousin, she..." Her cousin should not be mentioned! Once Mindy was mentioned, Ruth would feel so resentful that she wanted to murder someone! However, Missus Mann still said, "Your cousin has a skin disease. It's a kind of infectious disease and many places on her body were covered with dirty ulcers. We...we don't have money for her treatment, she is living under a bridge not far from here..."
"Why are you telling me this? what's the point? Did you not bring that own to yourselves? What does that have to do with me?"
Ruth said with rage. After saying that, tears streamed down both of her cheeks.
Yvonne persuaded Ruth. "Ruth, don't cry. Your body is more important now"
Ruth then wiped off her tears and then called out stubbornly. " Ryan! Ryan!"
"Dear, I am here," Ryan then answered with a frown.
"Money!" said Ruth.
Ryan immediately took out all the cash he had on him and handed them to Ruth. Ruth counted the money, and then she searched herself for more, she basically never carried any cash on her, so after she dug everywhere, she only had almost eight dollars on her. At that moment, Sabrina and Marcus also took out all of the money they had on them, which came to a total of a few ten thousand dollars, and gave it all to Missus Mann.
Missus Mann immediately felt so grateful that she almost knelt before them. "Thank you! Thank you, Ruth, thank you!"
Ruth cried. "I don't have any direct obligation to support you financially, but since you have raised me back then, I will provide you with a sum for financial support every month in the future. As for your daughter's condition, I don't have the obligation to treat her.
At best, I will give you ten thousand dollars every month in the future for your living expenses and rental as my humanitarian act."
After saying that, she handed a card to Mister Mann. "You know the password. Also, don't let me see you again in the future. I don't want to be in a bad mood."
Upon saying those words, Ruth turned around and left, she was in a good mood earlier that day, but because she met her parents, she became incredibly down, what kind of feeling was that? It may be a love-hate feeling. That kind of feeling was particularly upsetting. Ruth cried the whole day while Sabrina, Yvonne, and Marcus silently kept her accompanied from behind her.
It was after they had arrived outside of Ryan's mansion that Ruth spoke, and it was a kind of venting. The only person she could vent to was her fiance and the father of her children. "Ryan Poole! You have seen it! My parents had raised me like a shrew and a peasant since childhood. Now, I'm pregnant with two children, and both my children are also peasants! Peasants! Not some honorable young masters!" 1 Ryan went along with her and coaxed her. "Alright, alright! If we have boys, then they will be peasants. If we have girls, then they will be a shrew like you."
Only then did Ruth stop crying. A voice behind them suddenly said, "What nonsense is that?"
Chapter 2058 Ruth turned around and saw Ryan's parents.
"Dad, when did you get here?" asked Ryan.
Austin Poole, the eldest of his family, had oh a serious expression. "I heard from your mother early in the morning today that Ruth might be pregnant, so I rushed over."
He had quite a good impression of Ruth in the past. Although the young lady was not from an eminent family, every time she followed Ryan back to Kidon city and went to their house, she was always very coy and knowledgeable. How was it that both Ruth and Ryan had been together for two years, but he had never found out she was a shrew who would publicly curse at others!
Austin felt that he and his wife were cheated on. He particularly felt so when he heard from his wife that his daughter-in-law may be a lowly girl who washes the feet of others, Austin felt even more annoyed. 1 However, no matter how annoyed he was, his daughter-in-law being pregnant was still an important thing. It was something that was worth being happy about. Austin then took a flight to South City early in the morning and was simply waiting to see the result of his daughter-in-law's checkup after they had returned.
Both Austin and his wife waited impatiently for a long time at home while his wife kept nagging. "What to do now? She is already pregnant. We can't be kicking her out now, can't we? We, the Poole family, also can't do such a thing! But I truly can't stand letting such a woman into our family! what should we do if she gave birth to a child and the child is just like her? Could it be that our family is going to be ruined like that?" 1 Austin was also vexed. He had never been like his younger brother, Alex, who would dare to fight and kill. He was a conservative. He had never been in conflict with the world and he also did not want to make a name for himself. He just wanted his son, daughter-in- law, and his future grandchildren to be able to live a stable life.
However, his son would at least have to find someone suitable who matched their family's status. However, not only was she not a suitable match, but she was that kind of person. He was unhappy about it. With his wife nagging like that, Austin became even more vexed. "Just cut it out!"
Only then did Patricia stop talking.
After a long while and after Austin smoked a few cigarettes, he suddenly said very coldly, "We'll give me more money and asked her to terminate her pregnancy! We absolutely and resolutely can’t keep that child!"
"Isn't this.Jsn't this too immoral? She is a girl, she has been with our son for two years, she is pregnant with our son's child, and yet, you want to ask her to terminate her pregnancy. I am a woman and I know the pain of a woman the best," Patricia said.
Patricia actually was not a bad person. She just felt that it was unfair. She felt that the Poole family has such a big and eminent family, so no matter what, her son could not be with such a woman. However, when she saw her husband being so heartless, Patricia simply could not bear to do it. After all, she was a woman, and only a woman would know the pain of another woman.
Patricia had also been pregnant with a few children back then, but she just was unable to keep any of them. In the end, it was after taking a lot of medication and after old Master Parker had carefully nursed her health that she gave birth to Ryan.
Therefore, Patricia was able to understand women and their pain. 1 Seeing that his wife was on the fence, Austin finally lashed out with all his pent-up anger. "Look at you! You’re the person who did not want her as your daughter-in-law, and yet, you're also the person who sympathized with her! Tell me, what should we do then? If she were to terminate her pregnancy now, she will only suffer a little bit at best. We'll just give her more money!
"Our son is still young now. What if he dumps her after another ten years when he is almost thirty years old? What should she do then? There's also the child? If the child she gave birth to has the same personality and habits as her, then how could the child survive in high society in the future? If the child is not born, then it's all good. If the child is born, then wouldn't the child also suffer for life? I just felt that it would be better to get over the pain now than to have a dragged out agony. I am also being considerate to this girl"
After being scolded, Patricia immediately became cheerful. "Dear, you are right. Let's do as you said, but..."
Indeed, she hated her daughter-in-law.
Chapter 2059 However, Patricia truly could not be so cruel and drive a pregnant lady out.
Austin then rolled his eyes at his wife. "You! You're such a paper tiger! I'll be the villain this time!"
"Dear, are we...being too cruel? Ruth is...pregnant with the grandchild of our Poole family. That is our son's own flesh and blood. You didn't see how happy Ryan was. If all else fails, we'll just let her give birth to the child. As long as Ryan doesn't marry her, we’ll support her. Can't we do that?" Patricia said.
Austin sighed. "It is not that I want to play the role of a villain, but your method can't even be used! Look at the Ford family. Ten years ago, the Ford family was a huge family with a flourishing business and their family was still growing.
Sean had four sons and the entire family, including the maids, came to a total of almost a hundred members. But, now?
The large Ford Residence is empty and has nobody in it. How miserable is that?"
Patricia was speechless.
"Isn't the crux of the matter, to put it bluntly, that Sean had a legally wedded wife, but also secretly had Sebastian's mother? All of that is hidden troubles. The best way to get rid of hidden troubles is to terminate the pregnancy."
After all, the man was more ruthless than the woman. Austin had decided that he would be the villain!
During the time when the two of them were making the decision, Ryan had driven Ruth home. Although the couple was discussing how to have their daughter-in-law terminate her pregnancy, when she came back, the first thing the couple wanted to ask was if she was pregnant. Both of them then impatiently walked out to the entrance from the house and saw Ruth acting spoiled in front of Ryan.
Austin originally had never seen Ruth behaving like that with his own eyes. After he had truly seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he learned that his wife did not lie at all. They said that if they gave birth to a son, he would be a peasant, and if they give birth to a daughter, she would be a shrew, what nonsense is that? What a scandal!
Austin was red with rage. "You...Ryan! The Poole family...the Poole family will never allow you to marry such a woman!"
Ruth was so frightened that she immediately felt inferior. "Mister Poole...I...I don't mean that. I was just in a bit of a bad mood. I..."
She truly had no way to defend herself anymore, she was so frightened that even her gaze was frantic.
Sabrina, on the other hand, was very calm. "Mister Poole and Missus Poole, calm down. Ruth is just joking. Think about it, who would let their own children become peasants and shrews? Nobody would. Don't worry."
Austin was still fearful of Sabrina. "Sabrina..." He was very tempted to tell her that this was their family's business, so could she not intervene. However, in the end, those words never came out of his mouth. Everyone in the entire South City and Kidon City knew that Ruth and Sabrina were very close. Austin thought to himself that he should wait until Sabrina was gone before he said what was on his mind.
Seeing that Austin had already given her such respect, Sabrina immediately mediated the situation by saying, "Mister Poole, as the wife of someone who is so close to your family, I have to be the first to congratulate you. Do you know that your daughter-in-law is pregnant with twins?"
"what...did you say?" Austin thought he did not hear it clearly. He turned his head around and glanced at his wife. Her eyes also lit up.
They had originally wanted Ruth to terminate her pregnancy, but she was carrying twins! Twins! How lucky and blessed was that?
For a moment, the couple had already forgotten that they were preparing on how to drive Ruth out of the Poole family ten minutes ago. At that moment, Patricia already came to Ruth as she could not wait any longer. She then asked Ruth with a big smile on her face. "Ruth, my good daughter-in-law, you... What did you say? Say it again. Tell me again, would you?"
Ruth pouted. "You've heard wrong. I haven’t said anything. It was Sabrina who spoke just now!"
At that moment, Ryan calmly said, "Dad, Mom! Ruth is pregnant with twins!"
Chapter 2060 "Good! Good! That’s great!" Austin was so happy that he rubbed his hands together.
At that moment when he heard that his daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins, Austin had completely forgotten that he wanted to kick Ruth out earlier on. He just kept rubbing his hands together while pacing back and forth, "she is truly my good daughter- in-law. She actually is pregnant with twins! Haha!
Twins! I am going to be a grandfather? We...we are going to be grandparents? We’re going to be grandparents to two children?
Say, grandma-to-be, are grandsons better or granddaughters better? If it's up to me, the best is to have a boy and a girl!"
It was as if the children would be fraternal twins if Austin had said so.
"I like girls more," said Patricia. "I have had enough of raising my son. He had never been of one mind with me since childhood.
He was not close to me at all. I want two granddaughters!"
The old couple unexpectedly did not favor boys over girls.
However, they seemed to have forgotten that they were not the ones who were expecting, and it was their son and his wife, instead. When Ruth saw the couple discussing so enthusiastically and happily, and was being so carried away outside of the door that they did not let others into the house, Ruth just sneered through her nose.
She could not help but secretly mutter, 'You said that I am a shrew and a peasant without any image. Why don't you look at the way both of you look now! You're acting like a typical small and common family! Hmph!' She smiled coldly and willfully acted recklessly. "I'm sorry, Mister and Missus Poole! I am the one that is pregnant! I am the mother of the children! I deliberately don't want daughters! I just want two sons! Aino is a girl and I am afraid that she will be bullied after she grows up, so I just want to let her have two younger brothers. After they grew up, they could then protect our little princess, Aino! What can you do about it?"
After saying that, Ruth arrogantly walked towards the mansion. She was only two months pregnant, but the way she walked was truly so domineering and as she pleased. Even Sabrina and Yvonne, who was behind her, found it amusing when they saw it. 1 This little shrew has always been afraid of those who were harsh but would bully those who were meek. If you were harsh to her and if you were more vicious than her, then she would be so frightened that she could pee her pants on the spot. However, if you were meeker than her and let her notice that you're easily bullied, she truly would walk all over you.
lust when Sabrina was about to reprimand Ruth and ask her to control her temper a little, Sabrina was stopped by Ryan. "Ruth had just found out that she was pregnant today and then she met her parents. After that, she met my parents who were not happy with her. With her ability to bear all that, the way she spoke is extremely normal. Aunt Sabrina, don't restrain her too much, she is a silly girl who has low self-esteem, to begin with. What 1 like about her are her hard working quality and her kindness."
As soon as he found that he had become a father, Ryan seemed to have grown up in a second. In the past, what he had for Ruth was love and affection. He liked that she was silly, dumb, and always seemed a little mindless, but was also very fond of learning, shrewish, and inferior at the same time. That made her the embodiment of an incomparable cuteness, she was not coy at all.
Even if she was fierce, she was also fierce in a very frank way, and yet, she was pitiful from her core. Ryan just liked Ruth like that.
However, at that moment, he had another kind of affection for a family on top of his fondness for Ruth. From then on, the couple would have two children between them, and they would have even more in the future. They will never be able to be separated again. Just like their own parents, they would love each other for life.
