All Chapters of Pregnant for the Sterile Billionaire: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

"That's because..." She started to say, her voice breaking as she looked down, barely meeting his glance. "They insulted me and bullied my boyfriend! I was angry, so I..."Vanessa stopped speaking and lowered her head further, suddenly struggling to continue.She had prepared herself for questions about the mall, but not from Benjamin himself.Her fingers kept moving nervously as she searched for words that would protect her.She knew the complete truth would sound far worse than the explanation she had started.Benjamin watched her carefully, noticing how quickly her confidence had disappeared.He had seen Vanessa become defensive many times whenever she knew she was wrong.However, her reaction now seemed different because she appeared genuinely afraid of his judgment.He leaned back slightly, his expression becoming more serious as he considered her explanation."You've always been hot-tempered." Benjamin cut in sharply, and Vanessa immediately shivered. "How are you going to lead

Benjamin released a breath, stepped closer and held her arms. "What do you want to know?" He asked warmly, brushing her shoulder. "I will tell you. Hm?"Petra stared up at him for several seconds, carefully studying his expression.She wanted to believe him, but too many unanswered questions still troubled her.The discovery that he had a daughter had completely unsettled her confidence.She couldn't continue pretending that everything between them was simple anymore.She slowly pulled his hands away from her arms and stepped backward.Benjamin allowed her to move without trying to hold her in place.He simply watched her, waiting patiently for whatever question she wanted answered."You have a daughter." She began, her voice breaking. "Are you married?"The question immediately changed the atmosphere between them.Benjamin became silent, staring at her as though considering how to respond.Petra stood before him with nervous determination, refusing to look away.She had prepared hers

Benjamin nodded, then walked to Petra.The room around them was quiet, save for the faint hum of the air conditioner.Outside, tailors moved about with fabric and pins, finishing the last touches on his suits."Oh," He said, bending and reaching for her chin as he held up her face. "You think I'm old?"His thumb brushed lightly against her jaw as he waited for her answer.There was something almost boyish in the way he watched her, waiting.For a man who ran an empire, he looked, in that moment, almost unsure of himself.Petra opened her mouth to answer, but the words never made it out.Before she could respond, the door opened without so much as a knock.Ryan Clear walked in, holding a black file under his arm.He carried himself the way most men carry a trophy, easy and proud.His footsteps were loud against the marble floor, announcing him before he even spoke.He was Benjamin's friend and business partner. Ryan was known across the city for turning failing companies around within

Ryan watched Benjamin for a few seconds before moving closer beside him.The room remained busy, yet he carefully lowered his voice around everyone.He did not want the others listening to their private conversation.He gently pushed Benjamin with his elbow, studying his friend's serious expression."Hey," He pushed Benjamin slightly with his elbow, keeping his voice low now. "are you really going to marry her, considering the situation?"Benjamin looked at Ryan without hesitation, showing no sign that the question surprised him.His expression remained calm, while his attention stayed fixed on the matter.He had already made his decision long before Ryan asked that question.There was nothing uncertain about what he wanted for his future anymore."Yes, we should get married soon."Benjamin looked at Ryan without hesitation, showing no sign that the question surprised him.His expression remained calm, while his attention stayed fixed on the matter.He had already made his decision lo

"Never." Vanessa said, not even bothered as she continued admiring the ring. "My dad would never marry a random woman.""That's good." Hubert said with a smile, believing her. "After all, if your dad really gets married, his wife would get half of his assets."The words suddenly caught Vanessa's attention.Her fingers stopped moving as she stared at the ring.For a moment, the excitement on her face slowly faded.She imagined another woman standing beside her father as his wife.She imagined that woman gaining access to everything he owned.The thought disturbed her more than she expected.Her earlier smile disappeared almost completely.Hubert remained buried in his excitement and failed to notice. He was already thinking about their future together."Vanessa," He continued saying. "the courthouse is close by. Why don't we...""No, we need to tell my dad before we can get married." Vanessa quickly cut in, taking her hand slowly away from his hold.Hubert swallowed, the smile on his f
