Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 272: Nyla's gaze, full of emotion, lingered on Vicki. "Not because Ethan is the father, but because this baby saved my life." She recalled the doctor's words at the hospital that day. The child seemed to sense that its mother was in danger and fought with everything it had to survive. Had the baby not persisted, Nyla might not have survived either. No matter what, she knew she had to do everything in her power to protect the life growing within her. Vicki stared at Nyla's belly, her gaze softening before she turned away.

"If that's your decision, then keep the baby." With those words, she moved to the sofa, her eyes settling on Nolan's scattered toys. She picked one up, holding it thoughtfully before speaking again. "Leave. Don't return here. From now on, we have no connection." As Nyla processed these words, Vicki had already retreated upstairs. Nyla felt the urge to shout after her but found herself speechless. Meanwhile, several figures waited in the living room of the main house. Ethan walked in, offering a casual glance around. "There's quite the crowd.

Seems like my personal matters are drawing a lot of interest," he remarked. His attention shifted to Roger, memories of his recent findings still lingering in his mind. His gaze grew colder, subtly threatening, and Roger quickly picked up on it, his brow creasing in response. Ethan had been an obedient child, far less somber than he was now. He only became withdrawn after his mother's passing, though he continued to display remarkable talent in his studies. Roger had recognized Ethan's sharp business instincts early on and had taken him under his wing.

Ethan absorbed negotiation skills quickly, always following guidance. By the time he turned sixteen, he was already closing multi-million dollar deals, an accomplishment even Roger had never achieved. This success instilled fear in Roger, as he grew apprehensive that Ethan might eventually surpass his reach, which, of course, he did.

"I've made myself clear-Nyla is not to be part of the Brooks family," Roger stated, his tone cool and detached. "Ethan, are you blind to the kind of woman she is?" Ryland asked, trying to persuade him. "You're the head of this family. How can Nyla, with no proper background, be your wife?" "No background?" Ethan turned toward Ryland, his voice sharp. "Isn't she your stepdaughter? As a member of the Brooks family, how could she possibly lack any background?" "Nonsense!" Roger snapped. Roger's hard gaze silenced everyone in the room. "Has our family ever encountered such absurdity?

This is unbelievable!" . . .
