336 Chapter 335
Mary moved back home.
When Keira received her video call, she was slightly taken aback, “Why so sudden? What about your parents…”
In the video, Mary smiled faintly. “I’m now Ellis’s fiancée. They couldn’t wait to hold me up high, how dare they lay a finger on me now? Don’t worry! I’m the Davis family’s princess now!”
Keira stared into her eyes. “Mary, tell me the truth. Does Ellis believe that this child is his?”
Mary nodded, “Yeah, he does! That’s why we’re marrying because of the child!”
Having said that, she sighed. “But he’s naturally promiscuous; if not for this child, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have married me.”
Keira immediately said, “Then don’t get married! We can’t let a child trap your entire life.”
“Don’t be silly.”
Mary winked at her. “It’s such a great opportunity. Of course, I’m going to seize it! I’m not after him as a person; I’m after the status of Mrs. Ellis! Once I marry him, I want to see how Victoria and Christina can still act so high and mighty in front of us!”
Keira wanted to talk her out of it, but Mary suddenly became serious. “Keera, I’m not like you. I was born into a large family; I have a mission to fulfill with this arranged marriage. If I don’t marry him, not only will my reputation be ruined, but I’ll probably be sold off by my uncle. So, after much consideration, this is the best outcome.
Keira still looked at her with concern, “Are you sure you have thought this through?”
“Yes.”
Mary beamed. “His parents are here; we’re about to discuss the wedding. I’ll stop chatting now”
As she said that, she turned the camera around, and just then, several luxury cars drove in. Keira
nodded.
After hanging up, she looked at Lewis stepping out, frowning slightly. “I always feel there’s something off about Mary’s emotions, and Ellis has come around that quickly?”
Lewis replied, “For Mary, he even accepted the child that he believed not to be his. What else is there to think through?
Keira tilted her head. “Is that so?”
Of course, it wasn’t!
Ellis was at that moment staring at Mary, his eyes blazing with fury.
Mary said yesterday that she wouldn’t agree to the marriage.
So today when Ellis‘ parents came to propose, he wanted to come along to see if she had changed her mind. He didn’t expect that she would agree!
Ellis‘ mother was holding Mary’s hand, praising her. “Good child! Ellis is a spoiled kid. If he doesn’t

treat you well in the future, just come to me! I’ll back you up
“Okay”
Mary nodded.
Ellis‘ mother then took off her bracelet and handed it to her. “This is our family heirloom, and from now on, it’s yours! When the child is born, if it’s a girl, give it to her. If it’s a boy, give it to his wife?
Ellis‘ mother looked at Mary, unable to contain her smile. “You’re so beautiful. My darling grandchild will definitely be gorgeous too!!”
Mr. Olsen was also staring at Mary’s belly. It was impolite, but despite trying to look away, as soon as he thought about his dear grandchild, he couldn’t shift his gaze.
For so many years, the company’s affairs had been managed by his younger brother, the future was handed over to his son, bypassing himself, the moderately capable eldest brother.
As a result, he had been slacking off at home.
If this child were born, he would be able to look after his grandchild!
As a child, he relied on his father.
As he grew up, he depended on his younger brother.
He was approaching fifty–five, and he relied on his son.
Once he turned eighty, he would rely on his grandchild!
Everything was just perfect!
Both were extremely satisfied with Mary as their future daughter–in–law!
Ellis watched them, his gaze falling on Mary, his expression changing several times, looking incredibly upset.
Then the two families began to discuss the wedding date.
Ellis casually said, “There’s no hurry, right? After all, she’s still pregnant!”
Ellis‘ mother immediately said, “What are you talking about? It’s precisely because she’s pregnant that we need to hurry! We can’t wait until her belly is too big, can we? That wouldn’t look good. Right, Mary?”
Mary hung her head and nodded, “Auntie’s right.”
“I think it’s best to do it within three months!”
Ellis‘ mother said, “Otherwise, let’s pick a date in the middle of next month!”
It was only the beginning of the month….
Thinking about the task Keera had mentioned, the sooner they got married, the better, Mary said. “Auntic, maybe that’s not a good idea.”
Ellis sneered internally, glad that the woman still had a shred of decency.
Just as he was thinking about this, Mary said, “I want to do it this month
330 Chapter 335
Ellis was dumbfounded.
Ellis‘ mother and Mr. Olsen were also taken aback, and even Mary’s parents and Ken started coughing and giving her meaningful glances.
A woman shouldn’t be too eager to get married!
But Mary seemed to have not noticed their looks and just looked at Ellis‘ mother. “Is that okay?” Ellis‘ mother nodded, “That’s fine, but it’s so rushed. The wedding dress and the hotel might not be up to par….
Mary hurriedly said, “Just getting a certificate is fine; it’s also okay if we don’t have a ceremony”
“How can that be possible?” Ellis‘ mother held her hand. “You are our daughter–in–law–to–be whom we’ve approved. We can’t let you be ill–treated! So, this month it is! With the financial power of the Olsen and Davis families, I don’t believe we can’t prepare a wedding in a few days!”
Mary nodded. “Okay”
Ellis didn’t know what to say.
Once the parents from both sides had chosen the date, Mary picked one that was particularly soon, almost just a week away.
Then the parents on both sides started discussing the wedding details, asking Mary to take Ellis up t her room to sit for a while.
Mary obediently nodded and led Ellis upstairs. As soon as the two entered the room, Ellis grabbed. Mary and pinched her chin, making her look up at him.
Ellis said fiercely, “What? Have you decided to have an abortion? You want to hold the wedding in a week. Do you think you have enough time for a medical abortion now?”
Mary immediately grabbed his hand. “Ellis, this child is yours. Three months will pass quickly, and then I’ll have an amniocentesis with you. If it’s not yours, I will abort it right away, alright?”
Ellis stared at her, then suddenly sneered. “Now I understand why you’re so desperate to marry me. Is it because you know that after three months, I can get it tested, and you want to marry me before the three months are up?!”
Mary’s face turned pale.
Ellis glared at her. “What do you think will happen if I go down right now and tell them the child isn’t mine?”
Mary immediately became anxious. “Don’t!”
“Don’t?” Ellis suddenly laughed, looking at her with a frivolous gaze. “If you want me to endure this humiliation, then shouldn’t you do something about it?”
Mary was startled. “What?”
Ellis suddenly began to rip open her clothes. “Of course, you need to do something that makes me feel pleased…
