Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 43: After Dumping Master Ford, She Was Caught Having Morning Sickness

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: After Dumping Master Ford, She Was Caught Having Morning Sickness
Eleanor Valerius realized that Sebastian Ford was truly furious.
His kisses were tinged with anger, and his large hand that lifted her maliciously tested and punished her.
The pleasurable pain instantly swept through Eleanor Valerius’s entire body.
She resisted the tingling shivers, her gaze growing increasingly fearful as she watched the surveillance footage.
"No... it’s not right..."
"Can’t bear to part with Jenson Lancaster, can you?"
Sebastian Ford squinted, knowing she was about to relent, and panted as he pushed her: "Little fox, why don’t I make the choice for you?"
He held her unsteady in his arms, gasping alongside her.
"Wayne Wainwright, take action."
Eleanor Valerius didn’t understand what he meant.
But in the surveillance footage, Jenson Lancaster and Sharon Sinclair were arranged into the same room.
Soon, the two were engulfed in a fervor that sparked into intense passion.
Eleanor Valerius averted her eyes, then reacted, panting lightly as she asked, "There’s no surveillance in the lounge room, is this your setup?"
"Your fiancé cheated on his adopted sister; the photos and videos are evidence."
Sebastian Ford turned off the screen and conveniently threw Eleanor Valerius onto the sofa.
He had just teased her into such a state, yet he didn’t intend to carry on, instead sitting beside her drinking.
"You want me... to use the evidence to cancel the engagement with the Lancaster Family?"
Eleanor Valerius looked as if she had been bullied, which indeed stirred Sebastian Ford’s desire.
"Isn’t this what you wanted?"
Sebastian Ford squinted his eyes, playing with the wine glass in his hand, fixating on her as he said, "The evidence you got last time wasn’t enough; tonight, I’ll give you something even juicier. You can cancel the engagement with the Lancaster Family using the victim’s identity, and I’ll help push things from behind."
Eleanor Valerius slowly calmed down.
She wanted to call off the engagement but not like this.
The collar around her neck was the Valerius Family’s control; she couldn’t escape at all.
Moreover, Sebastian Ford wasn’t helping her, in essence, he was forcing her; it was another form of control.
"Why are you doing this?"
Eleanor Valerius asked in return without answering.
Her attitude already sparked anger in Sebastian Ford’s eyes.
"Just a lover wanting a title."
He stood up and walked to Eleanor Valerius, reaching out to touch her face, pretending to be sad and said, "When Jenson Lancaster took you away from me, I didn’t even have the right to fight back, so you need to make a choice: me or your fiancé."
"Only children make choices; I want both."
Eleanor Valerius playfully tried to dodge but was forced to look up as Sebastian Ford gripped her chin tightly.
"Little girl, you’re too greedy."
Sebastian Ford looked down at her, his tone dangerous as he questioned, "Since you say you love me, how could you bear to let me suffer? If you’re not willing to cancel the engagement, I won’t let you enjoy my body anymore."
The humility in his words all carried his threats and coercion.
Eleanor Valerius held her breath, unable to manage a smile.
She knew Sebastian Ford said what he could do.
No matter if she succeeded in tempting him, Sebastian Ford could enjoy himself in bed, but he definitely wouldn’t be a man controlled by desire.
"Does Master Ford really have to force me to choose?"
She pretended to be pitiful, wrapping her arms around his waist trying to act coquettish.
Sebastian Ford coldly pushed her away.
"I’ll give you three days time: me or your fiancé, you only have one chance to choose."
Eleanor Valerius pursed her lips tightly, her heart torn and conflicted.
Master Ford’s possessiveness, when provoked, could be truly terrifying.
She only had two paths in front of her.
If she didn’t cancel the engagement with Jenson Lancaster, he wouldn’t touch her anymore, and she would lose his protection.
But even canceling the engagement wouldn’t mean he was her refuge, he merely wanted to control her, making her a plaything within his grasp.
To Eleanor Valerius, both paths were dead ends.
She lost control in the lover’s game, unable to control Sebastian Ford, instead getting herself burned.
At this moment, Sebastian Ford received evidence sent by Wayne Wainwright.
He forwarded it to her, not forgetting to sarcastically taunt, "Your fiancé’s performance in bed is way too short, no wonder you keep me as a lover; apart from me, no one else can satisfy you."
Eleanor Valerius: "..."
It seemed there was nothing wrong with his words, his performance was indeed intimidating.
"You want to sleep with me, I await your choice."
Sebastian Ford left Eleanor Valerius and departed.
...
Returning to the Valerius Family.
Eleanor Valerius felt an indescribable discomfort.
Suddenly, nausea rose from her stomach, and she unexpectedly covered her mouth, running to the bathroom, retching.
It happened to be seen by Regina Jennings, who approached coldly to the door.
"You’re pregnant?"
Upon hearing this, Eleanor Valerius widened her eyes in panic, hurriedly rinsing her mouth, shaking her head to explain, "Mom, I’m not pregnant!"
Regina Jennings rushed over, pulling open her collar, seeing fresh kiss marks on her chest.
"Jenson Lancaster didn’t look for you tonight; where’s this from? Have you been fooling around with a wild man outside?"
"I..."
Eleanor Valerius didn’t know how to explain.
Suddenly, Regina Jennings dragged her to the living room, forcing her to kneel, and slapped her face.
"Eleanor Valerius! I’ve reminded you that you’re now the Lancaster Family’s member, yet you repeatedly go out for affairs. If you’re pregnant with a bastard and get the engagement called off by the Lancaster Family, I’ll stop Chloe Valerius’s medical fees, which will be you killing your sister."
At this moment, Eleanor Valerius was truly scared to the point of stiffening.
"Mom, I’m really not pregnant... I’ve... I’ve had my period."
"You think you can lie your way past me in the Valerius Family?"
Regina Jennings stared at her, perversely ordering Aunt Campbell to check the trash bin in her bedroom bathroom.
Kneeling there, Eleanor Valerius’s breath even stopped.
"Madam." Aunt Campbell came downstairs to : "Third Miss indeed had her period."
Eleanor Valerius’s tears flowed, crying as she said, "Mom, please don’t be angry. I’m really not pregnant, I dare not mess around..."
She knew it was her second sister helping her cover it up with evidence.
However, her period was indeed late.
That craziness the first night, she didn’t take contraceptive pills, could she really be pregnant?
...
The next day.
On her way to the company, Eleanor Valerius bought a pregnancy test.
During lunch break, she hid in the bathroom, delaying for a long time.
After she left, she threw the used pregnancy test stick in the trash bin.
When other colleagues came in, they noticed it keenly, and gossip rapidly spread in the president’s secretarial office.
"Someone here is pregnant; I saw two lines with my own eyes."
Mason Monroe, passing by handling documents, heard this sentence.
At this time, Sebastian Ford, in the office, received a message from Eleanor Valerius who had taken leave.
"Mr. Ford, I’ve made my choice, see you at the banquet tonight."
Mason Monroe hesitated but still opened his mouth to speak, "Mr. Ford, I’ve heard something."
...
Tonight’s charity banquet in Aethelgard was grand.
The red carpet shimmered with stars, guests mingled and chatted with wine glasses in hand.
Sebastian Ford, with his impressive stature, was the focal point of the crowd.
Surrounded by flattery, he seemed somewhat absent-minded, his gaze roaming.
When he saw the extraordinarily beautiful Eleanor Valerius, his expression immediately darkened.
Eleanor Valerius, arm linked with Jenson Lancaster, smiled as she approached him.
"Good evening, Uncle."
The crowd was discussing her impending marriage to Jenson Lancaster.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, she and Sebastian Ford were merely distant relatives—uncle and niece.
Sebastian Ford squinted, suppressing his raging anger, his smile dangerously deceiving.
He hadn’t expected Eleanor Valerius’s choice to be Jenson Lancaster?
"You have good taste; you two are quite a pair."
Eleanor Valerius was unfazed by the warning threats in Sebastian Ford’s gaze.
At the banquet, she followed Jenson Lancaster.
But she intentionally made it obvious by picking up a ringtone while behind Jenson Lancaster, pretending it was her lover’s call.
Using shamelessly revealing language, she acted like inviting her lover to secretly have fun in the lounge.
She once more used the old tactic to lure Jenson Lancaster in catching her in the act.
At the same time.
Mason Monroe hurriedly came, whispering to the somber-faced Sebastian Ford in : "Master Ford, it’s confirmed! That pregnancy test stick showing positive was bought by Miss Valerius."
Suddenly, Sebastian Ford’s pupils shook with shock, and he strode toward the lounge.
Hearing the door open, Eleanor Valerius looked back in surprise.
