Ms. Escape: Marrying to Run, Fighting to Rise Novel

Chapter 133 False Nicole Finished " I know . " Gary was well aware that Irene wasn't the kind of woman who would compromise for anyone . " Let's go overseas for ... a surrogate ," Gary said , looking straight at Irene , dead serious . He wanted a child that was theirs - his and Irene's . Anyone else's ? He didn't want it . Irene frowned at him . " I don't want kids , not because I can't handle the pain of giving birth or because I refuse to do it myself . It's because I truly don't believe I'd make a good mother . So drop it . " She shut him down right away . Gary went silent .

Then , in frustration , he leaned in and bit her cheek . He knew this woman would never give him what he wanted . " The paternity test is still processing . The fastest we'll get the results is tomorrow night , " Gary said hoarsely . Irene smirked . " Wanna make a bet ? If this test shows the sample is my niece , I'll have a baby with you . How's that ? " Gary didn't even blink , He'd helped Irene search for years . God knows how many paternity tests they'd done . Maybe a hundred , at least 90. Not a single one had come back as Nicole .

If Nicole were really that easy to find , Irene would never be joking about it . " Ugh , you're no fun . " Irene rolled her eyes . " Can't you at least give me a little hope ? " Gary sighed , looking at her . " Fine . If this result comes back and it's really your niece Nicole , then you marry me . And you give me a baby . " Irene narrowed her eyes , skeptical . " You wouldn't mess with the paternity test results , would you ? " Gary met her gaze , eyes deep and steady . " Do you really think I'd mess with the one thing that means the most to you ?

" Caught off guard , Irene softened , guilt creeping in . She wrapped her arms around his neck and 1/4 10:18 Tue , Jan 6 Chapter 133 False Nicole gave him a sweet smile . " Aw , don't be mad , baby . You know I didn't mean it like that . " Gary fell silent . 87 Finished She always had a way of getting under his skin . Every single time , without fail . It was like from the very moment he met her , she had him completely wrapped around her finger . Tightly . At Curtis's place , Adriana had just finished her shower .

She was now lying on the bed , holding her stomach , completely lost in thought . Was there really a baby inside her ? She'd looked it up online . The forums said it was normal to spot a little when the embryo implanted . So ... that day , it wasn't her period . It meant she was pregnant . Her ears burned red , and she immediately dove under the covers , squirming and rolling around like a little worm . She was actually pregnant . For real . When Curtis came out of the bathroom , the first thing he saw was Adriana wriggling under the blanket like a chubby little caterpillar .

He chuckled and walked over to sit beside her on the bed . " I cleared part of my schedule , and I'll stay home with you this whole week . After that , I'll go with you to get the blood test , " he said . Curtis didn't want to leave her alone . He needed to be by her side during this time . Things still weren't calm with Nicole and Danielle . Even though Chandler's company getting into trouble had kept Danielle occupied for now , Nicole - dumb as she was - was still poking around , clearly up to something . " Seriously ?

" Adriana peeked her head out of the covers , eyes wide with surprise and joy . She didn't know why , but hearing Curtis say he'd stay with her made her ridiculously happy . " Yeah , " Curtis nodded . His phone rang . He ruffled her hair affectionately , then stood up to take the call . " Mr. Lincoln , the second paternity test you asked me to run in secret - it's done . Nicole's a fake . She's not the real Nicole at all , " Kenneth said in a low voice . 2/4 10:18 Tue , Jan 6 Chapter 133 False Nicole Curtis let out a cold laugh .

g € 87 Finished Chandler and Danielle had really gotten sloppy . " Let Jeremy know , quietly . And make it clear that he can't trust anyone around him anymore . Tell him to handle it however he sees fit , " he said . Right now , Jeremy was surrounded by wolves . He wasn't safe . If he had any sense , he'd start cleaning house - starting with Chandler , his illegitimate son , and that granddaughter of his , Danielle . " Yes , sir . " Curtis hung up , and his mood visibly improved . Nicole being a fraud meant one thing - his engagement to the Bartons could be postponed again .

And now that Adriana was pregnant , Harold had no excuse to keep pushing for a divorce . " Curtis , may I ask you something ? " Adriana poked her head out from under the covers , eyes full of curiosity as she watched him come back from the call . He loved Cynthia so much , so why hadn't he just called off the engagement with the Bartons ? Why use her as a human shield ? " You're Harold's only grandson . That engagement with the Bartons ... it's not like it has to happen , right ? " If Curtis really wanted to break it off , what could Harold do ?

But instead of ending it , Curtis just kept coming up with excuses to stall . Curtis stiffened . His expression darkened . Adriana immediately panicked . " I - I'm sorry . Was that out of line ? " Had she just asked something she shouldn't have ? Did she hit a nerve with Curtis ? Curtis forced a smile . " It's fine . Nicole's mother and my mom were childhood best friends . The engagement was arranged by the two of them years ago . Nicole's parents were murdered in Haldoria . After that , the real Nicole disappeared ... and it became my mother's biggest regret . She passed away young .

Before she died , I promised her I'd find the real Nicole and marry her . " AdminJ
