Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Telling the Truth to Mother-inlaw

Translator: 549690339

Michael Gallagher spoke indifferently, “The house that Damian Thompson gave you is under the name of Jeremy Norman.”

Molly Walker was taken aback, she hadn’t expected that the house belonged to Jeremy Norman.

She had visited the house yesterday.

The house was beautifully furnished, fully equipped with furniture, with a great layout and lighting. She had merely rested on the sofa temporarily and had felt a sense of comfort. She had liked the house immediately.

She had always thought that it was a gift from her brother. She never expected that the owner of the house was Jeremy Norman.

Thinking of Jeremy Norman’s guilty look, Molly’s heart skipped a beat.

Jeremy Norman probably wanted to compensate her, conspiring with her brothers to hide this matter.

But how did Michael Gallagher know about it?

“Did you investigate me?” Molly frowned at him, “I didn’t even know, but you knew so clearly. It’s really hard for you to spy everywhere.”

Michael Gallagher pressed his lips together and remained silent.

Ever since he knew that the entire Thompson family had a soft spot for Jeremy Norman, he had been keeping an eye on Jeremy Norman’s moves.

This was initially a covert act, but he couldn’t hold back and ended up revealing it.

Michael Gallagher coughed a little, covering up his embarrassment: “The competition matters have been settled. Remember to prepare well. Don’t waste my money.”

Molly frowned, her lips twitching. She wished she could throw the box in her hands at him, but thinking about the unique items in the box, she held back.

Just then, Bailey Gallagher’s resistant voice rang out: “I’m not going to kindergarten, I won’t go!”

“Young Master, you can’t delay any longer, or you’ll be late!”

The servant was flushed with anxiety, running after him.

Bailey Gallagher started running and ended up bumping into someone’s leg.

Looking up, he saw it was Lana Lewis and his little face lit up with joy,

“Grandma, can Bailey not go to kindergarten? I want to stay home with you.”

Lana Lewis picked up Bailey Gallagher and gently persuaded, “Bailey, go to kindergarten during the day and accompany Grandma in the evening.”

Bailey Gallagher pulled a face, drooping his cheeks, he looked miserable.

Seeing him like this, Molly smirked shadily, looks like only school can control this child.

Her subtle expressions fell into Michael Gallagher’s eyes, like a child watching a play.

Although he didn’t know what had happened between her and Bailey Gallagher, she seemed to be very happy every time Bailey “suffered”.

“Very happy?

Molly heard Michael Gallagher’s voice beside her ear, and her lips stiffened.

Beyond her awareness, he had come to her side.

Molly smiled lightly and said, “Seeing a mischievous child sulking is indeed quite satisfying.”

Although being petty with a child seemed petty of her, who was to blame? This naughty kid had tricked her several times!

Being bullied by a five-year-old child, what a disgrace!

If she couldn’t bully him back, couldn’t she even gloat?

Molly pursed her lips, carrying the box, she turned around. Lana Lewis hadn’t noticed her presence initially, but seeing Michael Gallagher talking to her, she couldn’t help but look at her more intently.

Seeing it was her, Lana Lewis was taken aback, “How are you here?”

Meeting Molly again, Lana Lewis was somewhat embarrassed. The string of recent news had made her too embarrassed to go out.

Firstly, Molly was carrying someone else’s baby, and the whole country knew she had cuckolded Michael. Then there was Isabelle Richardson’s cheating scandal, which made her suspect if the Gallagher family was cursed, why were all the women related to the Gallagher’s no good?

If it weren’t for the good results of Bailey Gallagher’s paternity test, she would have been almost driven into the hospital by anger.

“Auntie, I came here on business.” Molly didn’t elaborate. Seeing the way Lana Lewis was looking at her, she had guessed what she was thinking.

As for Lana Lewis, she had always felt guilty, but that guilt was slowly fading away with time.

Hearing Molly call her “Auntie”, Lana Lewis was taken aback.

The last time she had seen her, Molly had still been calling her mom. Today she had already changed her address to Auntie.

Lana Lewis knew that some things could never be undone.

She glanced at Molly’s belly, her expression complicated. “I have to take Bailey to kindergarten. Come with me, I want to talk to you.”

Molly nodded silently.

In the car, Bailey sat in the child safety seat, with her sitting next to Lana.

“Molly, don’t blame me for bringing you out. Your current position is really not suitable for staying in the Gallagher family for long…”

Lana’s words were euphemistic, but Molly understood perfectly.

Lana didn’t want her to have too much contact with Michael.

Molly smiled understandingly. “I know, Aunt Lana. I have something to deal with, so I’ll be leaving first.’

Her hand on the door handle, Lana stopped her. “Molly, I have a few questions for you.”

Molly’s hand froze.

“Did you really get together with someone else during your marriage?” Lana fixed her gaze on her.

Molly smiled, her lips pursed. “Hasn’t it all been said in the news?”

“I don’t believe those news, I only believe what I see. Having you around for years, I know you. You’re not the kind of person the news says you are.”

In fact, this question had been bothering Lana. She had seen all the quiet things Molly had done after she got married.

Although her son was a bit dull, the things Molly had done for the Gallagher family over the years proved her character. She couldn’t have cheated during the marriage, let alone conceive another man’s child and plant a green hat on Michael.

“Molly, tell me the truth, is the child in your belly Michael’s at all?”

Lana’s sharp gaze bore into her, as if she wanted to see into the depths of her heart.

Hearing Lana say she wasn’t that kind of person, Molly’s nose turned sour, her eyes turned a little red, and she hurriedly lowered her head to gather her thoughts.

Fortunately, the inside of the car was dim and she had good control of her subtle facial expressions.

But regardless of how good her disguise was, Lana still sensed her difficulty.

“If you really don’t want to say, I won’t force you. You know I don’t have much time left. I just want to know, does Michael have any offspring…” Lana’s words choked off here.

Michael had told her that he would never get married or have children again, and he would eventually hand over the Gallagher family to Bailey.

With Bailey already here, what about Michael?

Just thinking about him being alone after her death made Lana feel so uncomfortable.

Seeing Lana’s pain, Molly’s heart ached.

She really wanted to tell Lana the truth, but by doing so, she would most likely face Michael’s wrath.

If he asked her to give birth to the child, the child would someday be brought to the Gallagher family. But in all likelihood, Michael would not allow her to give birth to it.

Because he simply would not admit it.

Molly forced herself to snap back to reality, her thumb nail pricking her fingertip, the resulting pain quashing the softness that had just begun to rise in her heart.

“Aunt Lana, the news is true.

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became heavy.

“I don’t believe it!” Lana’s sharp voice tore through the heavy air. “Unless your three years in the Gallagher family were fake.”

Molly’s eyelashes dropped. She bit her red lips, a bitter smile on her face.

“If you could pretend for three days, that would be one thing. But those were three years. For Michael, you cooked, took the Gallagher Design Department to be among the top three profitable departments in the company, and endured for three years, finally leaving with nothing. I don’t believe you could pretend for three years!”

Molly didn’t reply, her long, densely populated eyelashes trembling slightly.

“Molly, for the sake of the three years we have spent together, tell me the truth. I am a dying woman not wanting to take regret into her coffin.” Lana grabbed her hand, pleading earnestly. “Please, tell me the truth. Don’t worry, I won’t tell Michael. It’ll be our mother-daughter secret.”

Molly glanced at Bailey out of the corner of her eye. At some point, Bailey had fallen asleep.

Seeing Lana like this, Molly also felt a bit reluctant.

The Thompson family knew who the father of the child in her belly was, but only the Gallagher family was kept in the dark.

Her mother-in-law had always been kind to her. Lana had been proud all her life and never begged a person like this.

The strings in Molly’s heart couldn’t help shaking.

Telling her mother-in-law….shouldn’t be a problem, right?
