Chapter 144 I’ll Keep It a Secret
Looking at Cicely, whose thick makeup couldn’t hide her true feelings, Claudia finally felt a pang of sympathy.
She opened her lips and said softly, “Cicely, you asked the driver to find a place to park.”
She didn’t want anyone else to hear about this, not even the Lamont family’s driver, in case it reached Edmond’s ears…
Seeing Claudia finally decided to tell the truth to herself, Cicely was delighted, unable to hide the smile on her face.
Actually, she already had a premonition that the child in Claudia’s belly was most likely Edmond’s.
She gave birth to two children and lived for most of her life. She has some experience in this area. Claudia’s belly and condition clearly indicate that she is not yet three months pregnant. Going back further, it is very likely that it was that one time.
Actually, the timing of that occasion had already been set by her long ago, coinciding with Claudia’s ovulation period, which greatly increased the chances of winning
The more she thought about it, the more excited Cicely became, so she quickly asked the driver to stop the car.
“Harvey, just stop here.”
Not sure if it was because she was too happy, Cicely’s blood rushed up, and as soon as her feet touched the ground, her eyes suddenly went black. She desperately held onto the car door to steady herself.
“Mom, are you okay?” Claudia quickly supported her.
Cicely bit her tongue, forcing herself to calm down, and looked at Claudia with a smile, saying, “I still prefer you calling me mom.”
Claudia’s eyelashes drooped as she saw Cicely slowly recovering. Thinking about her condition, she still couldn’t rest assured and said, “I’ll take you to the hospital first…..”
Cicely patted her hand and said, “Don’t worry, first tell me who the father of the baby in your belly is?”
Claudia couldn’t help but laugh and cry when she saw that Mingming insisted on knowing the answer despite feeling unwell.
“Okay, I’ll tell you, and then you have to go to the hospital right away,” she paused and said, “The father of the baby in my stomach is Edmond.”
Even though she had already guessed the answer, Cicely still burst into laughter when she heard Claudia admit it.
She held Claudia’s hand with a smile and said, “Good child, knowing this news, Mom can die without regrets.”
“Don’t say such things, technology is advanced now, and your illness is not untreatable.”
“Don’t try to deceive me, I know my own body,” Cicely said, lowering her eyes. “Actually, I feel that my health has noticeably declined compared to before, but luckily I have Abel. At least my mood is better now. Knowing that you are carrying Edmond’s child, my suddenly feels relieved…”
heart
Upon hearing these words, Claudia suddenly had a bad premonition.
“You didn’t want Edmond to know about the child, because you were
afraid he would try to take the child away from you, right?”

Claudia paused for a moment, thinking about Edmond’s attitude toward her, and then nodded.
She refused to tell Cicely about this concern as well.
Cicely patted her hand and said, “I had already let go of all this. The child is also of the Lamont family bloodline by following you. I won’t insist on you remarrying Edmond. I will keep this matter a secret for you. Take good care of yourself and the child.”
“Mom apologizes to you for what happened with Rosalie before. It was
my
selfishness. Rosalie is beyond redemption, and I was foolish to almost break ties with you because of someone like her. From now on, I won’t care whether Rosalie lives or dies, and I won’t ask you to forgive her. Even if she were to be executed, she would deserve it.”
From the moment Rosalie exposed her affair with someone else, she had already completely given up on this person. What she gave up was not only Rosalie, but also Abel’s political career and the future of entering a prestigious university.
People whose parents committed crimes would not pass the political examination. Fortunately, they had a family business, so Abel would not starve to death in the future.
Upon hearing these words, Claudia was moved to the point where her
nose felt a bit sour.
She didn’t expect Cicely to be so open-minded and actually agreed to keep it a secret for her.
“Thank you, Mom,” Claudia said, supporting her. “Let me take you to the hospital.”
Cicely quickly waved her hand and said, “I will take a taxi myself.

Could you please help me take Abel to the kindergarten…”
“I took a taxi with Abel,” Claudia frowned, “I will safely take him to the kindergarten and have Harvey take you to the hospital.”
Seeing Cicely’s face turn pale and clutching her chest in discomfort, Claudia immediately took over the task of taking Abel to kindergarten.
Cicely no longer declined either, as she was also afraid of fainting halfway and scaring Abel.
She woke Abel up when she got in the car, explained a few things to him briefly, and Abel obediently got out of the car with Claudia.
In the taxi, Claudia noticed that Abel kept his head down the whole way and clearly avoided making eye contact with her.
Claudia saw that he didn’t want to talk and knew that children have
thin skin, so she didn’t make fun of him either.
Fortunately, the kindergarten was nearby.
Abel is now attending this prestigious kindergarten.
Abel got out of the car at the entrance and stood still, refusing to move.
Claudia raised an eyebrow and said, “Aren’t you going in yet?”
Abel clenched the straps of his backpack with both hands, his face filled with nervousness as he looked at the other children standing at the school gate.
Just when Claudia was confused, a noticeably stronger child than the others walked toward Abel.
“Abel, didn’t you say last time that your mom and dad would come to pick you up? Where are your mom and dad?” Rogelio Ramsey crossed
his arms and glared at Abel menacingly.
Just then, the child next to Rogelio tugged at him and pointed at Claudia, whispering, “She must be Abel’s mother.”
Abel quickly glanced at Claudia, and his little face immediately dropped.
Claudia glanced at the corner of her lips, a hint of playfulness playing on her mouth. This scene seemed familiar.
This time she didn’t want to be a scapegoat.
What mom? She was not the mother of this naughty child.
Instead of waiting for this brat to take advantage of oneself, it is better
take advantage of him first.
to
“I am not his mother,” Claudia grinned as she saw the children’s surprised expressions. “I am his sister, so you should also call me sister…”
This time, she took the initiative to distance herself from Abel and cut off their relationship.
She glanced at Abel, who was looking down and lost in thought, and said loudly, “I’m leaving first.”
Abel pursed his lips and looked at her with a pleading expression in his eyes, whispering softly, “I don’t want to stay here…..”
