After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 230 - 225 Emily Parker, Marry Me

"Family? I don’t remember having any family."

Emily’s tone was flat, devoid of any warmth, as if she were describing something entirely unrelated to herself.

A mocking smile tugged at her lips.

She wondered if it was necessary to remind Henry Parker that she had severed their father-daughter relationship long ago.

"Emily, I’ve heard all about the disgraceful things you’ve done. That Mr. William is married, yet you carry on with him inappropriately. Are you trying to bring shame upon the Parker Family?

Don’t forget your surname is Parker!"

On the other end of the phone, Henry Parker’s voice was full of reprimand. He had just left the police station, filled with anticipation.

He had been asking around about Mr. William, and when he found out that Mr. William was married, disappointment rushed in like a tidal wave.

"Henry Parker, my surname, Emily Parker, comes from my mother.

If you continue to disrespect me, don’t blame me for taking legal action against you."

Listening to that familiar yet unfamiliar voice on the phone, Emily felt nothing.

Recalling the past, those days of being hurt and ignored, she was no longer the daughter who could be easily wounded by Henry Parker.

She clenched her phone tightly, her tone firm and resolute.

"Do not call me again."

Emily’s words were filled with annoyance as her finger hovered over the hang-up button.

"How dare you speak to me like that!"

Henry Parker’s curses exploded on the other end of the line, as if his anger could shatter the phone.

But after cursing a few times, he remembered Sophie Parker crying and pleading for help at the police station, and his own precarious career. The harsh words caught in his throat.

Henry Parker’s tone suddenly softened, even sounding somewhat ingratiating.

"Emily, Dad’s tone was a bit harsh just now, don’t take it to heart."

Henry Parker feigned an apology, his smile appearing especially insincere to Emily, who couldn’t see it from the other end of the line.

"I know deep down, that Little Sophie has caused you a lot of pain over the years.

But no matter what, she’s still your blood sister. Blood is thicker than water.

For the sake of family ties, could you speak kindly to Mr. William and ask him to withdraw the complaint against Sophie?"

Henry Parker sighed heavily, as if he were truly worried about the bond between sisters.

"Is that all you have to say?"

Emily’s expression remained unchanged, her voice still cold, as if it were coming from an ice cellar, devoid of any warmth and emotion.

Henry Parker swallowed, thinking this wasn’t enough, and shamelessly continued,

"Also, about your relationship with Mr. William, Dad won’t pursue it.

As you know, I’m at a critical juncture for my promotion. If I can achieve some significant results now, my position will be secured.

Can you ask Mr. William to add a few projects in our country?

If this works out, the family will surely reward you."

He paced back and forth in the room as he spoke, his eyes filled with greed and urgency, as if those projects were already in his grasp, and his promotion and wealth were just around the corner.

However, Emily didn’t give Henry Parker any further chance to prattle on, hanging up without hesitation.

With the crisp sound of the disconnection tone, Emily’s world suddenly went quiet.

Henry Parker stood there with the phone in hand, maintaining the posture of a conversation, his face stunned as if his brain hadn’t yet processed what had happened.

A few seconds later, realizing the call was disconnected, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"She actually dared to hang up on me!"

He roared in anger, the veins on his neck bulging.

Grinding his teeth, he hastily dialed Emily’s number again.

The monotonous busy signal echoed through the line, each beep mocking his plight.

Once, twice, three times... Several calls later, the number remained unreachable.

He finally realized that Emily had blocked him.

"That damn girl!" he cursed again, pacing anxiously in the room.

He knew that if he couldn’t get Emily on board, his plans would be ruined.

No, he had to come up with another way, he couldn’t just sit and wait for his fate...

Emily, full of irritation, hung up the call, blocked Henry Parker, and felt as if she had cleared away all the unpleasantness associated with him.

After doing all this, she took a deep breath.

Just as she closed her eyes and tried to soothe her irritation, a figure unexpectedly entered her sight.

Instinctively, Emily looked up and her gaze met Adam Willow’s slightly haggard face.

The Adam Willow in front of her was lean, with a rare hint of desolation.

His cheeks were pale, his eyes slightly bloodshot, and his eyes filled with guilt as he looked at Emily.

"Emily, I’ve been waiting for you here.

In the past, I was wrong.

I shouldn’t have been swayed by Sophie Parker and betrayed you.

Let’s get married.

Marry me?"

Adam Willow’s voice was a bit hoarse.

When the interviewer announced the results, Adam Willow felt like everything around him had frozen.

The great impact from his shattered hopes made his legs suddenly lose strength, swaying unsteadily.

He stumbled out, eyes vacant, oblivious to the mocking gazes around him.

Even as Sophie Parker called his name urgently behind him, Adam Willow paid no attention.

His mind was blank, like a puppet, aimlessly leaving the interview venue.

After wandering for an unknown period, Adam Willow found himself at the university campus.

The familiar paths, buildings, and athletic field were all still as he remembered.

His feet seemed to have a will of their own, leading him to the paths he used to walk with Emily.

Under the sunshine, with a gentle breeze carrying the faint scent of flowers, forgotten memories vividly resurfaced in his mind.

He recalled studying side by side in the library with Emily, sunlight streaming through the windows onto them, their hands clasped as they strolled along, petals falling on their shoulders...

Adam Willow suddenly stopped, feeling as if an invisible hand clutched his chest tightly, an overwhelming pain washed over him.

He finally realized that in chasing so-called "success" and "future," he had lost his pure self and the Emily who loved him most.

At this moment, he was filled with deep regret.

Driven by a single thought, Adam Willow was determined to return, no matter the cost, to be with Emily.

In his heart, Emily had always been the gentle and forgiving girl. He was certain that if he returned, Emily would forgive all his mistakes.

Stumbling like a traveler finding light in darkness, he hastily made his way back.

As he anxiously hurried back, he instantly spotted that familiar figure.

Adam Willow’s heart raced, pounding as if it would burst out of his chest, his legs uncontrollably moving toward Emily.

Stopping a few steps away from Emily, Adam Willow uttered those words.
