Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Chapter 209: She Actually Wants Him to Be a Substitute!



Nathaniel Farrell approached her and flattered her solely to marry her and gain the support of the Reed family. She believed that in the face of such enormous benefits, Nathaniel Farrell would surely be willing to be the substitute. After all, she planned to use the excuse of needing to attend college to get rid of the child later. Once she married Nathaniel Farrell, they would have their own children. With time and the help of the Reed family, she believed that Nathaniel Farrell’s current resentment would eventually fade.

As for Jared Farrell, she liked him so much, yet he treated her this way! Once she married into the Farrell family and helped Nathaniel Farrell seize the position of head of the family, she would make Jared Farrell kneel at her feet and repent!

Annabelle saw that Nathaniel Farrell had accepted the situation and finally felt relieved. She spoke up, “So what are your plans now? Since this matter has already caused such a stir, you must give Amber an explanation.”

“Amber has not yet reached the legal age for marriage. I plan to hold a wedding ceremony with Amber first,” Nathaniel Farrell said after a moment of silence. “I will inform my parents and let them make arrangements. Once Amber reaches the legal age, we will get married.”

Annabelle nodded, “Good, handle this matter quickly. Only by spreading the news of your marriage can Amber’s reputation be restored.”

“I’ll be leaving now,” Nathaniel Farrell said, unwilling to stay any longer, and turned to leave.

“Wait!” Jasper Reed called out to him. He looked at Nathaniel Farrell with a warning in his eyes, “Amber is my daughter. I don’t want her to suffer any grievances after marrying into your family. Those scandalous affairs around you-I don’t want to see them again. Deal with all those women you keep!”

Nathaniel Farrell’s expression changed. He hadn’t expected Jasper Reed to embarrass him publicly like this but still gritted his teeth and agreed.

“Nathaniel, I’ll see you out,” Amber Reed quickly stood up to escort him, wanting to say a few more words.

Nathaniel Farrell only gave her a cold glance, pursed his lips, and left without a word.

When he received Amber Reed’s message about wanting to marry him today, he was almost overjoyed. Who knew that the next moment, Amber Reed’s words would plunge him into an icy abyss? She actually wanted him to be a substitute! He couldn’t believe that someone as seemingly pure and lovely as Amber Reed could have such a messy private life. She was pregnant and couldn’t even find the father of her child-she came looking for him instead! It disgusted him!

He initially wanted to refuse, but Amber Reed’s offer was too tempting. Logan was extremely biased; without the support of the capital’s Reed family, he had no confidence in competing with Jared Farrell for the position of head of the Farrell family. After much hesitation, he swallowed his disgust and agreed to be this cuckold.

Fortunately, Amber Reed had some conscience left and said she would abort the child in her womb. Otherwise, if she gave birth to the child, he would have had to endure having a bastard as his eldest son calling him father-he feared he might one day strangle the child in a fit of rage.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. As soon as he got into his car, he took out his phone and called one of his mistresses for some intimate company.

Who was Jasper Reed to control him? He couldn’t even manage his own daughter but had the nerve to tell him not to fool around with women! Amber Reed was already so filthy; if he didn’t fool around with other women, he’d feel like he was losing out!

Watching Nathaniel Farrell’s car drive away, Amber Reed knew he was dissatisfied but didn’t care as long as her goal was achieved. As long as Nathaniel Farrell acknowledged her child, so what if she was pregnant before marriage? Although Nathaniel Farrell wasn’t as good as Jared Farrell, he was still a well-known nobleman in the capital; everyone would only envy her.

“Why was he so cold towards you today?” Audrey Woodwind tentatively asked Amber Reed.

“Maybe he encountered some trouble at work,” Amber Reed glanced at Audrey Woodwind indifferently. She increasingly disliked this cousin; if it weren’t for Audrey Woodwind constantly watching her, she would have gotten rid of this unwanted child long ago.

“Is that so?” Audrey Woodwind smiled faintly. “You used to spend every day with Emrys; I thought you two were a couple.”

Amber Reed’s face darkened. To be honest, if Emrys hadn’t been crippled, he would have been the best choice-obedient and easy to manipulate. She wouldn’t have needed to deal with Nathaniel Farrell’s attitude. But Lily Ward had said that Emrys could never fully recover; he was destined to be a cripple for life. Marrying him would only make her a laughingstock.

Moreover, even though Nathaniel Farrell wasn’t very bright, being an adopted son of the capital’s Reed family couldn’t compare to being a young master of the Farrell family.

“Emrys and I are just like siblings,” Amber Reed replied with a forced smile.

“Is that so?” Audrey Woodwind continued smiling faintly before standing up and saying to everyone, “I should go check how Lily Ward is treating Emrys at the hospital.”

“Good idea,” Annabelle nodded and added, “Lily went out of her way from her research just for this trip; make sure she’s well taken care of.”

Mentioning Lily Ward brought an unconscious look of admiration to Annabelle’s face. Amber Reed couldn’t help but feel jealous. “Grandma really likes Miss Ward.”

Before leaving, Audrey Woodwind glanced at her with eyes that seemed to say: Who would admire you when you’re pregnant out of wedlock?

All the elders in prominent families in the capital praised Lily Ward highly and hoped their sons could marry her. Lily Ward’s reputation and achievements in medicine were unmatched by many men. Moreover, many of her research projects had national support; marrying her could open countless doors.

Even Grandma wanted her cousin Damian to marry Lily Ward! Unfortunately for them all, Lily Ward had high standards; she looked down on all those playboys in the capital-even Damian couldn’t catch her eye as she focused solely on medical research.

Luckily for Damian, he didn’t have any feelings for Lily Ward either. But still, many people visited her research institute daily hoping for favors-only to be turned away due to confidentiality issues.

Wasn’t she jealous? Of course she was! But jealousy was useless; Lily Ward was simply outstanding and powerful.

Audrey Woodwind first had servants prepare imported fruits according to Lily Ward’s preferences before heading to Song Hospital with them.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The Ward family’s private hospitals were spread nationwide. When Lily Ward arrived in Ensford, she didn’t go directly to the Reed family but called them instead asking them to send Emrys over for surgery after examining him.

Emrys had been severely injured with nearly all bones fractured; without substantial financial support from the Reed family-he would’ve remained bedridden like dead weight forever.
