CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1379

Chapter 1379

Marriage was no trivial matter, and Mrs. Fay couldn't make such a decision for her daughter so casually.

She exchanged a glance with Mr. Fay, who quickly poured Eugene a cup of tea. "Eugene, you've been talking

since you arrived. Take a moment to relax and have stea," he said.

"Mr. and Mrs. Fay, | genuinely want to marry Lydia. Our families are well-matched, and | assure you she would be

well taken care of. My parents would treat her as their own daughter. Please, just giveyour blessing." Eugene

took the tea but didn't drink it, his eyes fixed on them with hope.

Mr. Fay hesitated. "Eugene, | still think this is all a bit rushed. Before any talk of marriage, we should meet with

your parents and discuss the details thoroughly. So, take these gifts back for now, and let's set up a tto

visit."

Eugene could sense the hesitancy in Mr. Fay's tone. He had pushed as hard as he could. Short of dragging Lydia

down to the courthouse to get a marriage license, he had run out of options. Reluctantly, he stood up to leave,

but refused to take back the gifts he had brought.

"Eugene, we'll accept the other items as a gesture, but the jewelry can wait until an official engagement," Mr.

Fay called out as Eugene walked out the door.

Watching him leave, Mr. Fay turned to Mrs. Fay. "We should call Lydia and find out what's really going on here."

Mrs. Fay agreed. They sat down together and video-called Lydia. She adjusted her hair, smoothed her clothes,

and put on slipstick before answering, greeting them with a smile. "Mom, Dad, I'm doing just fine on my

own."

"Then what's going on between you and Eugene?" Mrs. Fay asked directly. "He just cby with engagement

gifts and jewelry. Are things really moving this fast?"

Lydia's smite faltered as the reality

of Eugene's actions sank in. It was clear he had gone behind her back and talked to her parents. This was

practically forcing her hand! low could he do this?

"And Eugene told us...well, he implied that things had already...progressed between you two." Mrs. Fay's voice

was uncomfortable, and Mr. Fay, feeling awkward, stood up to give them space to talk.

Lydia felt like she had been struck by lightning. She could barely find her voice. "Mom, did Eugene tell you that?"

Mrs. Fay nodded. He was the only one who had been there, after all.

Tears of frustration welled up in Lydia's eyes. She couldn't believe Eugene would stoop so low as to involve her

parents in this.

She had tried to keep things civil out of respect for her parents’ fondness for him, but it was clear that she had

been far too lenient.

She took a deep breath, deciding to

be completely open. "Mom, I'm just not interested in him. | know you and Dad like him, but | can't force myself

into a relationship with someone whose character | question. He's willing to do anything to get what he wants,

and | worry that if he ever loses interest, he'd turn that sdetermination against me."
