Chapter 1070 He Wanted Her to Bear a Child for Him

'She can't say she hates them?'

Percy narrowed his gaze. When he saw the love in Nina's eyes when she talked to Rainie, he suddenly thought of an idea.

He thought that he should let Nina bear a child for him.

The two people in the car were silent again. Percy's words made Nina remember the child she once had.

She had hoped to deliver the child safely, but Pierre had crushed her hope.

Did she hate him forthat? She did, but she could not do anything about it. She was no match for Pierre at all.

She had lost to him, and her child was collateral damage. Nina could not forget the scene when blood spurted from her stomach. : owner of this content.

Over countless nights, she had dreamed of the child that was not fated to be hers. Every dream was torture.

All that was because of Pierre, but Nina could not tell Percy that.

Meanwhile, Maxine, who had barely spoken to Luke for the entire night, watched as Percy brought the drunken man away.

She was furious, but she could not throw her tantrum in front of others.

Maxine left the scene, pretending to be unperturbed. On the way back to the hotel, she received Hera's phone call.

She rejected the call instantly.

The phone began to ring again in less than half a minute. She could not take the ringing anymore and answered the call. "What is it?" She said impatiently.

From Maxine's tone, Hera could tell that Maxine had failed to achieve what she wanted.

She briefly told Maxine what she had been informed. "Ms. Douglas, Abel will be coming tomorrow."

"Let him come then. What does that have to do with me?" Maxine rolled his eyes. She could not seem to calm down.

"He says that he wants to meet you. Shall we meet him tomorrow?" Hera said. She was quite relieved that Abel was coming.

Leia had been using Bianca's disappearance to threaten Hera. She wanted Wayne dead.

Obviously, Hera was not able to do that herself. Only Abel could do that, but Abel seemed to have gone missing as well. Fortunately, Abel finally contacted her.

Hera planned to ask Abel to kill Wayne when they would meet tomorrow.

"What does he want with me?” Maxine became wary. Their deal was complete once Bianca was out of the scene. If the police or Luke found that she was meeting Abel, all that she did would be in vain!

"I don't know the details, but Abel said that it'll be good for you," Hera told Maxine what Abel told her.

Maxine was thoroughly annoyed, especially when she did not know what the other party wanted with her. She did not want to meet him.

Before she could give her answer, Hera tried to persuade her. "I know that you want to wash your hands off the deed, Ms. Douglas, but if you want to do that, then you should listen to what I say. It won't be good for us if Abel implicates us." 2

Abel had complete information about the two women, but they did not know who Abel was, aside from his name.

Maxine thought that it made sense. She did not want any extra trouble." Alright, bring him over tomorrow," she said.

"Alright." Hera wanted to ask more about what happened at the banquet, but Maxine had already ended the call. Hera could only shrug. "You have such a bad temper. No wonder Luke doesn't even want to look at you."

She had just finished mumbling when she received Leia's call.

"Tsk," Hera said and answered the call. Before the other party could say anything, she said, "If it's about the thing I promised, I'll do it."

"When can you do it?" Leia sounded anxious.

"What's the rush? The person that will help you will arrive tomorrow. I'll talk to him." Hera sounded casual. The person in danger was not her.

"I want to meet him." Leia was not relieved. She felt that she had to talk to that person herself.

"It's not up to you to meet him. As long as you prepare the money, I'll make the arrangements," Hera said. It would be very troublesome if Leia got to meet Abel.

Leia wanted to say something when she suddenly heard some movement in her room. Her heart skipped a beat, and she could only comply. "Alright. I'm running out of time. You'd better make

arrangements soon."

After the call ended, she stared at her room door and hesitated to go inside.

Wayne was pressuring her. After he knew that she had lost her baby, he came to look for her almost every day. At first, she could say that she was not feeling well, but she was beginning to run out of excuses.

He had said that he was going to bring her away.

Naturally, Leia refused. However, Wayne threatened to kill her.

She did not want to die, so she could only say that she was still recovering.

She had to be healthy so that she could bear another child for him.

Leia had been stalling for two months, and Wayne was losing his patience. She knew that Wayne would take her away by force if she did not do anything.

That was why Leia was so anxious. She did not want to be a fugitive like Wayne.

She heard the noises in her bedroom again. Leia knew that it was Wayne urging her to leave.

Queenie came out of the bedroom and saw Leia standing there with a pale face. She walked to her and touched her forehead. "Why do you look so pale, Leia? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, Mom," Leia said with a smile. If she wanted to join Wayne in exile, Jack and Queenie would have been dead by now.

However, she was not interested, so her parents were still alive. She would be safe as long as her parents did not disown her.

"Mm, your forehead isn't hot. Don't stand here so late at night. You should go and get some rest," Queenie said softly, worried that her daughter was still wallowing in sadness.

Leia forced a smile and went to her bedroom. She opened the door, quickly went in, and slammed the door shut.

She turned on the light. Just as expected, Wayne was waiting for her on the bed.

Leia took a deep breath and smiled when she saw Wayne playing with his dagger. "Why are you so early today, Wayne?"

Wayne had been coming over every night, and Leia did not have the courage to refuse.

"Early? It's very late, Leia." Wayne narrowed his gaze and looked at her." You haven't packed your bags yet." "What's the rush, Wayne?" Leia looked at her open closet. She sat down next to Wayne and breathed into his ear. "I want to stay here for two more days." "No," Wayne answered without hesitation. He pinched her lower jaw and said, "I've already given you enough time." "My grandmother's birthday is in three days, Wayne. She treats me the nicest in the entire family. I'd like to spend one more birthday with her. Is that alright?" Leia found an excuse.

"She was the one who introduced that Brody to you. You call that treating you nice?" Wayne narrowed his gaze. Two weeks ago, when he found out that Brody and Leia had made out, he went and castrated that man.
