Although Elaine had restrained herself, her voice still carried some resignation and crying.
Darnell's lips were pursed and he spoke again, his tone calm: "Elaine, you are still studying, and the matter of
having a child should not be in your plans."
Elaine lowered her eyes again, her fingers gripping the corner of the quilt, "Was that in your plan?"
"Not in."
This answer was completely expected by Elaine.
She added, "I should ...... be leaving for Switzerland the day after tomorrow, I ......"
Elaine paused and didn't know what she wanted to say.
It was as if she had made a desperate choice and would not regret it, no matter what the outcome.
But yet trying to catch a glimpse of hope in the last hours.
It is true that not wanting to get pregnant out of wedlock is just an excuse, what she really wants is to get married
to him.
But he also avoided refusing to do so.
Elaine is a little bewildered, two or three years is so long, what if ...... he really just likes someone else.
Just as her mood was getting low, Darnell looked at the clock and got up, "I'm coming over now."
When Elaine responded, only a busy tone was left in the phone's receiver.
What did he just say?
Now ...... comes over?
Elaine put down the phone, the faint lingering emotions in her heart seemed to be washed away a lot.
She threw the pill in front of her into the trash, rubbed her hair haphazardly, and stopped thinking about the mess.
In fact, Natasha and Darnell both have a point. She is not even capable of taking care of herself now, and she
certainly can't take care of small children.

And, just ...... so many times in the morning, this is only where to follow ah, how can there be so easy to get
pregnant.
With renewed vigor, Elaine trotted downstairs and sat on the swing in the garden to wait.
Unlike last night's starry sky dotted with light, tonight's night sky is dark and gloomy, without a hint of light.
It was as if there was going to be a rainstorm.
As expected, not long after, the maid came over and said, "Miss, the weather forecast says there will be rain in a
while, so come in."
Elaine swung slightly and turned back, "It's okay, you go rest first, I'll go in when it rains later."
The maid nodded and turned to leave.
Elaine's head leaned on the rattan rope next to her, and her toes nudged the ground with a click.
Soon, Elaine felt a cool sensation coming from the back of her hand.
It's raining.
Elaine got up and was about to go inside and wait when she saw a car light up not far away.
She immediately stopped in her tracks and walked over with a joyful heart.
When the black car stopped, Franklin stepped out of it and looked at Elaine strangely, "Elaine, what are you doing
here?"
Elaine's eyes rolled without revealing a flaw and hugged his arm, "Daddy, I'm coming to get you."
Franklin didn't suspect much, Elaine used to occasionally run over to pick him up when he came home, but that was
years ago.
At that time little girl was less than his chest height.
Franklin spoke up as he lamented, "Well Elaine, go inside, it's starting to rain."
Elaine answered and looked three steps back in the direction of the door.
They had just entered the house when the rain fell heavily, smashing densely on the ground and making a sound.
Franklin sat down in the couch, took a breath, and asked again, "Elaine, what are you always looking out for?"
Elaine hastily withdrew her eyes: "I was thinking ...... it's raining again, so it should be a little cold tomorrow."
Franklin smiled and said nothing, but his face was a little stony.
Elaine sat next to him, "By the way, Dad, what have you been up to these past two days? You didn't even come
home last night."
Franklin patted her hand, "It's nothing, work stuff, it's settled."
Hearing this, Elaine patted her chest and exhaled, "That's good, I thought something big had happened, it's good
that it's okay, it's good that it's okay."
Franklin looked at her like this and opened his mouth to say something, but stopped.
He said, "Elaine, Daddy still has some work to do, so I'll go to the study first, you go to your room early and rest."
Elaine nodded, "Good night Daddy!"
After Franklin went to the study, Elaine went back to the door and looked in.
Through the dreary rain, she seemed to see an inconspicuous light far beyond the gate.
Elaine grabbed an umbrella in the foyer, then gingerly made her way out.
Since Darnell said he would come to her, he would not go back on his word.
The night was stormy and the umbrella was blown to the east and west. Elaine held the handle tightly and when she
got to the door, she looked at the black Maybach parked at the curb and the smile on her face gradually expanded
and she knew it had to be him!
Darnell leaned back in the driver's seat, his eyes flatly looking ahead, one hand casually resting on the steering
wheel, wondering what he was thinking.
He did not withdraw his eyes until there was a soft tap on the car window.
Elaine stood in the rain curtain with her umbrella, her hair wet from the rain and plastered to the corner of her
forehead, her wet eyes filled with light.
It seems to penetrate this dark night.

Darnell quickly opened the car door and stood in front of her, "Why are you out."
Elaine struggled on tiptoe trying to hold the umbrella up high enough to lift it above his head while saying, "You said
you were coming to see me ah, my dad just got back so I thought you might not go in and came out to see ......"
Darnell took the umbrella from her hand and whispered, "You should have called me."
Elaine looked up at him with her own reasoning, "It's raining so hard that if I call you, you won't let me out."
Darnell's dark eyes gazed at her and smiled faintly, "Cold?"
Elaine nodded, "A little bit."
Darnell pulled open the backseat door, "Get in."
Elaine immediately climbed into the car obediently.
Darnell put away the umbrella, sat next to her, closed the car door and then took a dry towel and wiped the rain
from her head and face.
Elaine's eyes looked straight at him, unblinking.
Darnell said, "What's the point?"
Elaine spoke in a whisper, "Is that why you're coming over here now, to coax me."
Darnell didn't deny it: "Well."
At that, Elaine was a little happier: "Actually, I'm very good at coaxing, and I wasn't upset anymore when you said
you were coming to me."
Darnell's lips curled down as he continued to wipe her hands with the towel, "Then it seems I shouldn't have come
on this trip."
Elaine thought seriously, "Not being sad and being happier are different again."
Darnell dried the water on her hands, put the towel aside, and then fished something out of his suit pocket and put
it in her palm.
Elaine saw this and her whole body was confused, looked at him and then at the emerald ring in her palm and her
eyes widened slightly, "This can't be ...... a proposal, can it?"
