On Our Wedding Day My Husband Announced His First Love Online-Chapter 116: So She Knew All Along I Was Taking Fertility Drugs...

Chapter 116: Chapter 116: So She Knew All Along I Was Taking Fertility Drugs...

I finally couldn’t take it anymore and cut in coldly, "Are you done?"

Hailey Langley was taken aback for a moment, then pursed her lips. "I suppose so."

I gave a slight nod. The corners of my lips lifted, but there wasn’t a trace of a smile in my eyes. "Then it’s my turn to speak."

"Go ahead."

"I’ll get revenge for my mother myself. I don’t need anyone’s help. And let me say this one last time: this child isn’t Theodore Grant’s. Theodore and I are divorced. We stopped being a family a long time ago."

"Chelsea, don’t say things you don’t mean out of anger." Hailey Langley clearly didn’t believe me.

I scoffed. "You all know that Theodore Grant has a low sperm count, right? What makes you so sure this child I’m carrying is his?"

Hailey Langley pursed her lips. "Alright, Chelsea, stop being difficult with me. I know you took a lot of medication back when you were trying to conceive. I had someone look into it. It was all ovulation-stimulating drugs, which can increase the chances of pregnancy."

I stared at Hailey Langley in utter disbelief, as if I couldn’t trust my own ears.

’She actually knew?!’

’Back then, to save Theodore Grant’s pride, I secretly took those ovulation drugs. I didn’t tell a soul except for the doctor—not even my mother or Chloe Miller!’

’But I never, ever imagined that Hailey Langley, my own mother-in-law, would know!’

’But she’s a woman, too. She must have known I wouldn’t be taking ovulation drugs for no reason. She must have known how heavy the toll those drugs take on your body...’

’And yet, she never once tried to stop me!’

’She just watched me put myself through all that!’

’So this is what she meant when she said she’d treat me like her own daughter?’

Meanwhile, Hailey Langley was still talking, oblivious. "Besides, you weren’t even divorced from Theodore yet. Whose could the baby be, if not his?"

Hearing this sent a chill down my spine.

’Chelsea Joyce, how could you be so stupid?’

’How could you naively believe that Hailey Langley truly saw you as her own daughter?’

"Let me say this one last time," I said, my face grim as I looked at Hailey Langley and enunciated each word. "The child in my belly is not Theodore Grant’s."

Now that I had seen Hailey Langley’s true colors, there was no need to be polite.

Besides, I was already divorced from Theodore. Offending Hailey Langley meant nothing. I wasn’t afraid of burning this bridge completely.

Hailey Langley frowned, her voice dropping. "Then whose child is it? Did you cheat on Theodore?"

I kept my lips sealed, not saying a word. Although I didn’t know who the baby’s biological father was either, my expression remained perfectly composed.

Hailey Langley’s brow furrowed deeply as if she were weighing the truth of my words.

After a long moment, she finally spoke. "I don’t care whose child it is. It can only belong to our Grant Family."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

But Hailey Langley didn’t answer me. Instead, she stood up and looked down at me. "Starting today, I will arrange for a nutritionist and a postpartum nanny to take care of you and the baby, until the child is born safe and sound."

"I don’t agree to that!" I refused coldly.

Hailey Langley sneered. "It’s not up to you to agree or disagree. This is a child of the Grant Family."

"This is my own child."

But Hailey Langley didn’t listen to a word I said. She just grabbed her bag, turned, and walked out.

Her imperious attitude infuriated me. Watching her leave, I picked up the cup she had used and hurled it violently to the floor.

Perhaps because I was so angry, my chest heaved violently. For a moment, my heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would leap out of my throat.

I don’t know how much time passed before the doorbell suddenly rang.

I wasn’t going to answer it, but a moment later, the phone on the table started vibrating.

I instinctively glanced at the caller ID—Sebastian Forrest.

"Hello..."

"Open the door."

Only then did I realize that Sebastian Forrest was the one who had been ringing the doorbell.

The moment I opened the door, Sebastian Forrest saw the shattered glass all over the floor.

I couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. I quickly turned to find a broom, wanting to clean it up.

"Just sit. I’ll get it."

Without another word, Sebastian Forrest took the broom from my hand. When he saw me try to step forward, he immediately pointed to the sofa. "Stay put. Don’t get cut by the glass."

Soon, Sebastian Forrest had swept up all the broken glass. He then found a bag to put it in separately, preventing it from causing any accidents when the trash was taken out.

"What happened? Who was here just now?"

"My mo—" I swallowed the word just as it was about to leave my lips. "Hailey Langley. She said she’s sending a postpartum nanny and a nutritionist over tomorrow. She also said this child belongs to the Grant Family..."

The more I spoke, the angrier I got. Suddenly, I remembered the bet I’d made with Sebastian Forrest before.

’I can’t help but suspect that Sebastian Forrest saw all this coming from the very beginning...’

’But right now, Hailey Langley just doesn’t believe the baby in my belly isn’t Theodore’s. Once I get a prenatal paternity test, she’ll definitely back off!’

"You still want to get a prenatal paternity test?" Sebastian Forrest raised an eyebrow, seeming to guess what I was thinking.

"Yeah." I nodded.

"You think the Grant Family will believe it?" Sebastian Forrest let out a soft laugh. "They’ll just suspect you faked the results."

I couldn’t help but purse my lips. "It’s up to them whether they believe it or not. I’m getting the prenatal paternity test tomorrow anyway..."

Sebastian Forrest shook his head with a resigned smile. "Alright, knock yourself out."

He looked up at me, and as if he’d thought of something, added a concerned reminder, "If you run into any trouble, call me anytime."

I quickly nodded. "Okay."

「...」

The next day, I left home bright and early.

The prenatal paternity test required fasting, so I only went to eat breakfast after the procedure was done.

Once I’d had my fill, I wandered around a nearby mall, planning to browse and kill time while I waited for the expedited test results.

I had only intended to wander around and pass the time.

But the moment I stepped into a baby store and saw the dazzling array of infant products, I couldn’t control myself.

After I finally got the test results, I drove home with my arms full of shopping bags.

Who would have thought that as soon as I got off the elevator, I would see a few people standing at my door, with the person in the lead being none other than Hailey Langley!

"Chelsea, you’re finally back..." Hailey Langley had clearly seen me and immediately came over. "Didn’t I tell you I was coming today? Why did you go out without saying a word?"

As she spoke, her gaze fell to the shopping bags in my hands, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. "Were you out buying things for the baby? Oh, you. Isn’t it a little early? You’re not even three months along, are you? Why are you..." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Before she could finish, I held out the report in my hand. "I went and got a prenatal paternity test. This is the report. See for yourself."

Hailey Langley quickly took the report. But when her gaze swept over the final conclusion—non-paternity—the smile on her face instantly froze...
