After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 231 - 226

The surrounding hubbub seemed to gradually fade away at this moment.

Adam Willow stood in front of Emily Parker, after countless struggles and hesitations in his heart, he finally mustered the courage and spoke those words.

As soon as he spoke, Adam felt like he had put down a giant stone in his heart, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his eyes were full of anticipation, staring intently at Emily.

When Emily heard these words, her originally calm face instantly froze, and a complex mix of emotions flashed in her eyes - there was surprise and reminiscence, but those feelings quickly vanished.

She had known Adam for more than ten years, from their youthful school days to stepping into society, he had once been the most important person in her life.

Their youthful years spent together, the promises they made, seemed to still echo in her ears.

She had waited for his proposal for many years, and had countless times fantasized about this scene in her dreams. If the old her heard these words, she might have been so excited that she would cry and would have agreed to him without hesitation.

However, times have changed, at this moment, Emily’s heart was calm, like an undisturbed lake.

She gently shook her head, with a hint of helplessness in her voice,

"Adam Willow, I’m sorry, I’m already married."

Adam’s smile froze instantly, after a while, he opened his mouth with a bitter smile,

"Emily, are you still angry with me?

How long will you keep this up?"

In his heart, Emily was just having a temper tantrum. How could their beautiful memories just disappear?

"I told you long ago, I’m married."

Emily only felt her temples throbbing, filled with helplessness, not knowing how to explain so that Adam would believe this fact.

Adam’s face still carried an expression of disbelief, he asked again,

"Then when did you get married?"

Emily took a deep breath,

"The day I moved out of the Parker Family."

Adam’s brow furrowed into a knot, then he threw out another question,

"Then who is your husband?"

As soon as he spoke, Emily was speechless, unsure how to respond for a moment.

After all, she and Carlos had a hidden marriage, from the beginning they had seriously agreed not to disclose this marital relationship to the public, which led to her dilemma facing Adam’s questioning.

Seeing Emily silent and unable to speak, Adam became even more convinced that Emily was just still mad at him.

In Adam’s mind, Emily’s social and work circles were simple and pure, the number of men she knew could be counted on one hand.

He hadn’t even considered Mr. William or Carlos, in his eyes, neither of these two could possibly become Emily’s lover.

Just then,.

"Her husband is me," a sudden male voice came out unexpectedly from behind.

Adam trembled all over, completely stunned, and instinctively turned around sharply.

He saw a sleek black Bugatti parked steadily not far away, Carlos’s tall figure walking out from the car with composure.

It turned out Carlos drove over and immediately saw Adam and Emily talking together.

Instantly, alarm bells rang in his heart, a peculiar sense of crisis surged within him.

Just as he got out of the car, he happened to hear Emily saying "I’m married."

"At least this woman still remembers she is a married woman."

Carlos’s lips curved slightly, with a hint of unnoticed pride, as he walked towards them.

Carlos’s tall figure resembled a bolt of black lightning, taking big strides to stand firmly beside Emily.

Then, with a dominant stance, he wrapped his iron-like arms around Emily tightly, as though announcing to the world that Emily was his exclusively.

He slightly raised his chin, his face proud, his voice clear and powerful,

"Let me introduce myself, I’m Carlos, Emily’s husband."

As he spoke, he seemed to think that wasn’t enough, he swiftly pulled out his phone.

You could see his slender fingers tap a few times on the screen, then he turned the phone screen toward Adam, displaying his and Emily’s marriage certificate.

The photo capturing their smiles at that moment, with the prominent red stamp and date glaringly visible.

"The legal kind, protected by law."

Carlos added, his gaze subtly challenging, as if warning Adam not to harbor any unrealistic thoughts.

Adam’s breath suddenly quickened, his chest rising and falling dramatically.

His eyes were fixed on the glaring red marriage certificate, as if trying to see through it. On the certificate were the two people.

Emily wore a gentle smile, a hint of softness in her eyes, while Carlos beside her looked stern.

Adam’s hand involuntarily clenched into a fist, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

He hadn’t expected that the Emily he had been thinking about for so many years had actually married someone else.

The once beautiful memories now felt like a sharp blade, stabbing deeply into his heart.

In his mind, he kept replaying the days spent with Emily, those sweet moments, and the promises they made; all seemed incredibly ironic at this moment.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found his throat blocked by something, unable to produce any sound. His eyes filled with pain and unwillingness, scanning back and forth between Emily and Carlos, as if searching or perhaps confirming something.

After a long time, Adam finally managed to speak, his voice hoarse and unfamiliar even to himself: "Why... why did this happen?" His gaze locked onto Emily, hoping to find an answer, a sliver of hope that he hadn’t been completely abandoned.
