Chapter 1764: Chapter 1767: Hurt Before, So Afraid to Love
“Aunt, Tania, I’m going out to make a call; I’ll come back in a bit…”
Lily spoke to them, and without waiting for a response, hurried out with her cell phone.
Seeing Lily with her big belly, moving gracefully, and walking with confidence.
She thought of herself.
Tania suddenly felt a bit downhearted.
Indeed, Fortune is fair; Lily is optimistic, positive, with no ill intentions, so Fortune blesses her and her child with safety.
In contrast to herself…
Tania reached out and touched her high belly.
Even the inception of this child was tainted with selfish motives, no wonder Fortune punishes her.
“Mom… I heard what you said to the doctor outside… I’m not surprised, I was prepared for the possibility that the baby might have issues early on… It’s just a pity, the child is suffering because of my selfishness, and has to come to this world.”
“Silly Kid, what kind of talk is that?!” Isabella couldn’t bear to see her daughter sad, she walked to the bedside and sat beside her.
“Don’t worry, no matter what future this child faces, he will always be the grandson of your dad and me. With your dad and mom around, even if he truly has issues in the future, if you get married again, your dad and I will help raise him well.”
“Mom…” Tania lowered her face, “I haven’t thought about remarrying.”
“Tania… didn’t you promise your dad that after the child is born, you’d accept the partner he arranged for you? Or are you still thinking about Nolan Lucas…”
Tania was once obstinate, leading Larry Scott to personally order the severance of their father-daughter relationship.
Later, with Isabella and Sylvia Scott mediating, Larry Scott, who is resolute, proposed that to accept Tania again, she must marry a reliable partner chosen by him in the future.
At that time, Tania was set on avenging Tara Hammond and Evelyn Lucas, and disillusioned with Nolan Lucas, so she agreed.
“Mom, I no longer like Nolan Lucas. A heart can only give once. Being hurt and burned is painful. I’m afraid and hurt too… loving him is too painful… I can’t afford to love anymore…”
“…” Upon hearing her daughter’s words, Isabella’s heart slightly trembled.
She suddenly realized how similar her daughter was to herself back then.
Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, she asked, “If it’s not because of him, then why don’t you want to remarry?”
Tania smiled, albeit awkwardly.
“I just suddenly feel I should stay. The baby is mine; I shouldn’t use remarriage as an escape. In this world, one doesn’t need a man to survive… I have family, and a child, without any man, I can still live well.”
Tania’s tone wasn’t intense.
Yet, in her eyes, there’s a faint, warm light that’s been missing these past few months.
Isabella saw her daughter like this, her nose tingled, but her heart felt warmed.
“Alright, as long as it’s my daughter’s decision, mom supports it. Rest assured, I’ll plead on your behalf with your dad.”
As for that kid Nolan Lucas… Isabella thought, even if he’s been behaving well recently, since he hurt her daughter’s heart, if her daughter doesn’t like him, then it’s unnecessary.
Worst-case scenario, things remain as they are now, with her and Larry agreeing for Nolan Lucas to visit the child once a month.

Meanwhile, Lily, who went outside to make a call, received Sadie’s latest reply.
“Miss, it’s confirmed. The girl’s name is Jeremy Cooper, she’s only 21 this year, a junior at B University’s Chinese Department. She currently resides in a high-end condominium downtown, the property ownership is under Robbie Bright’s name.”
