Chapter 175

Lily came back to her senses and immediately knelt down in front of Steven. "Dad, I beg you to let me keep my children! If I get rid of them, I will never be able to have a child again in my life!"

"Lily, it's not that I don't want you to keep your babies. But rather these children... Sigh!" If it was another man's children, Steven definitely would have let her keep them. However, the unborn twins belonged to Edric. He had just gone to Irene to persuade her to get back

together with Edric. Now that this had occurred, how could he face Irene?

Deborah stretched out her hand to wipe her tears. "My child, this is your fate. Just accept it!"

"Dad, it's so cruel for a woman to be infertile forever. Someone set me up to this. It's not my fault. You can't do this to me!"

Lily was not pretending this time. If Steven really wanted her to get rid of her children, then her life would really be done for. Edric would not have anything to do with her and she would never be able to get pregnant. She did not even dare to imagine what her future would be like after that. "Dad, I know you're afraid that I'll come in between Irene and Edric. I swear! I won't trouble them. I'll go somewhere far. Don't you want me to go abroad? I'll go right away. I won't stay here!" Steven felt uncomfortable as he watched his daughter kneeling on the ground and crying, broken to pieces. He reached out to help Lily up, "Get up. Let's talk about it when we get back." That was a concession. Visibly relieved, Deborah helped Lily up. The family returned to San Fetillo in silence. On the way back, Steven rested with his eyes closed without saying a word. Deborah and Lily were both uncharacteristically quiet, but they had both finally calmed down. As they predicted, Steven was too soft-hearted, after all, he was a parent. They had finally won this round.

A few hours later, they returned to San Fetillo. The car stopped outside the villa. Steven opened the door and got out of the car while Deborah and Lily followed close behind.

Steven entered the study and motioned Deborah and their daughter to follow him. He closed the door and said, "I've been thinking about it in the car. Since this has already happened, we must find a way to deal with it. Since Irene and Edric are not aware of this yet, we must keep this from blowing up. So in everyone's best interests, Lily, you will go abroad soon, and the children will be born abroad. Don't come back again under any circumstances."

"Whatever you say, daddy." Lily looked agreeable. As long as Steven agreed to let her give birth, it was her victory. As for whether she would never come back, was it possible? She may not even go abroad at all. Even if she did, with how advanced technology was, the news of her pregnancy would eventually reach Irene.

Her pregnancy was essentially a ticking time bomb. Irene and Edric would never remarry, not under her watch.

Lily had these thoughts inwardly. Steven spoke again, "I'm not done yet. I've agreed to let you give birth only because of your health. There is no other reason. Don't get any ideas thinking that you can use your children as an opportunity. Edric is not someone you can dream of getting back!"

"Dad, don't worry. I've already lost feelings for Edric." Lily promised.

"You'd better. I'm warning you both, this better be kept a secret. If I find out that either of you let Irene know about this, I won't hesitate to take action!"

They ate silently with Maisy serving them on the side. After the meal, Steven went into the study, while Maisy was busy cleaning up. Lily said that she was tired and went
