Maddox helped Yayoi out of the hospital.

His handsome face was glowing with happiness, resplendent in the sunlight.

A moment ago, the doctor had said that all of the child’s indicators were normal. However, in the early stages of pregnancy, the expectant mother still had to be carefully cared for.

When Maddox heard this, his joy at knowing he was going to be a father was replaced by nervousness.

He knew he had to look after Yayoi with care.

In order not to tire Yayoi, he had planned to hold her in his arms and not let her walk.

However, the shy Yayoi refused.

Yayoi said, “Don’t be so nervous. Walking won’t affect the child.”

Maddox also knew he was too nervous.

But still, under her insistence, he helped Yayoi and carefully escorted her out of the hospital.

Yayoi felt helpless.

She could imagine how thoughtful and nervous Maddox would be in the months to come.

When Yayoi sat in the car, Maddox helped her put on her seatbelt and kissed her gently on the lips.

Then, he said, “Yayoi, go home and get your green card. We are going to register to get married.”

Yayoi was stunned, “What’s the hurry?”

“Precipitated?” Maddox raised his eyebrows and stared at her flat belly. “We already have a child. I think it’s too late.”

“But…”

Yayoi still thought it was too hasty.

“You want our child to be an unregistered resident at birth?”

Well, she couldn’t refute this reason.

Although she knew that even if they were not married, with Maddox’s ability, the child could be registered.

In fact, she wanted to get married, too.

Maddox sent her back to the Song’s house.

Then, she went back to the Shen’s house to get the residence booklet.

When Maddox returned home, Old Master Shen was playing chess with Wendy in the living room.

Seeing Maddox, he beckoned him over.

Maddox was in a hurry to get his residence book. So he declined, “Grandpa, I have something urgent to attend to. Let’s talk about it later.”

With that, he ran upstairs in a hurry.

“What are you doing, why are you in such a hurry, don’t you have time to talk to me?” Old Master Shen was displeased.

“Grandfather, don’t be angry. Maddox must have something urgent.” Wendy comforted him.

She looked in the direction of the second floor and frowned.

Seeing Maddox so anxious, he felt a little uneasy.

Old Master Shen saw that he had been looking at the second floor and laughed out loud, “Wendy, if you want to go, go. You don’t have to worry about my feelings.”

Hearing this, Wendy smiled sheepishly, “Grandfather, what are you talking about?”.

Old Master Shen continued to laugh, “Well, go. Help Grandpa see what Maddox is doing.”

As soon as Wendy went upstairs, she saw Maddox come out of his room.

She yelled, “Maddox!”

Maddox looked happily at the residence brochure.

At the sound of Wendy’s voice, he looked up and the smile was wiped off his face.

He asked dryly, “What’s wrong?”

Wendy walked over to him and saw the residency brochure in his hand.

A light shone in her eyes.

She pretended to be puzzled and asked, “Maddox, what are you going to do with the residency booklet?”

“Yayoi is pregnant. We’ll register to get married first.”

Maddox didn’t hide it. Because it was a fact. If Wendy knew it meant her grandfather would know soon.

This way, she shouldn’t have a head-on confrontation with her grandfather.

As soon as she saw the brochure for the residence, Wendy had a suspicion in her mind.

Now, her suspicion had come true.

She clenched her fists and forced a smile.

“Does Grandpa know?”

“He’ll know.”

Maddox stared at her.

She understood.

“Do you want me to tell Grandpa?”

Maddox smiled.

“Didn’t you always want to break off the engagement, but Grandpa wouldn’t agree? I think this is a good opportunity.”

Saying this, Maddox reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

“Wendy, I think you can do this.”

With that, he walked past her, descending the stairs without pausing.

Wendy could tell by his brisk pace how good she felt.

Could it be because he was going to marry his beloved?

Wendy clenched her fists and dug her nails into her palms. But she didn’t even feel pain.

Yayoi was pregnant.

The bitch who had stolen Maddox from her was pregnant.

Wendy grimaced and tears came to her eyes.

Why were they still acting so outrageously, even though they knew of her existence? Did they really think she was an orphan and take her as a punching bag?

She wouldn’t let them get what they wanted.

She took a deep breath and ran downstairs.

Old Master Shen was angry at his grandson’s shallow attitude.

When he saw Wendy coming down the stairs, he immediately asked, “Wendy, what exactly is Maddox doing?”.

Wendy lowered her head and walked toward him without a word.

Old Master Shen frowned, “Wendy, why don’t you speak?”.

Hearing this, Wendy looked at him, her eyes brimming with tears, “Grandfather…”.

Old Master Shen’s expression changed, “Why are you crying, Wendy?”.

“Grandfather… I…. Maddox…”

Wendy was sobbing and could not form sentences.

Seeing her cry, Old Master Shen felt distressed and a little anxious.

“Tell me, did Maddox bully you?”.

Tears were still streaming down her cheeks. Wendy raised her hand to wipe her tears and sobbed, “Grandpa…. Maddox… Maddox is getting married.”

This time, Old Master Shen heard her clearly.

He frowned and said, “Marrying? To whom?”

Then he reacted, “To that Yayoi?”

Wendy nodded, “Yes, that’s her.”

“That brat is too naughty!”

Old Master Shen slapped his thighs hard, his old face full of anger.

He never thought Maddox would be so arrogant.

Maddox paid no attention to him.

Old Master Shen looked at Wendy, who was sobbing, and felt even more distressed. He drew her to his side, stroked her back and comforted her, “It’s okay, Wendy. Stop crying. Grandpa will help you.”

Wendy looked up at him with teary eyes, “Grandpa, she’s pregnant.”

Old Master Shen was surprised and then roared angrily, “That brat!”.

As soon as Maddox had the residence brochure, he rushed to House of Song.

Mr. Song, who had a big smile on his face, became serious when he saw Maddox.

Maddox looked at Yayoi in confusion.

Yayoi covered her mouth and let out a giggle that seemed to say to him, “Good luck.”

“Yayoi, come with me and I’ll give you the brochure for the residence.”

Mrs. Song pulled Yayoi into the room, leaving Mr. Song and Maddox in the living room.

The room was unusually quiet.

Maddox called carefully, “Mr. Song.”

Mr. Song didn’t even look at him and lowered his head.

Maddox didn’t know what he was thinking.

Maddox pursed his lips, not knowing what to do.
