NovelGoldChapter 1005: Marina proposed they head to the courtyard pond to feed the koi.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo sooner had they settled by the pond than Marina gripped her stomach, excused herself urgently for the restroom, and hurried away, leaving Carrie and Kyson exchanging uneasy glances in suddenly strained silence.
As Carrie was trying to cup with an excuse to leave, Kyson spoke up, breaking the silence. "I've heard about the pregnancy." To prevent any negative gossip and acknowledging that pregnancy becomes visible after three months, the Morrison family had somewhat conspicuously leaked that she and Daxton were a couple. Carrie remained silent, lips pressed tightly together, intuiting that Kyson was not finished speaking.
Kyson cut to the chase. "The child isn't Daxton's, is it?" He reasoned that had Carrie intended to have Daxton's child, they would have publicly celebrated their relationship long before now, perhaps even planning their wedding, rather than just now acknowledging their relationship because of the pregnancy.
He hadn't fully understood that Daxton loved Carrie so deeply that he was willing to step into the role of a father to someone else's child.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe believed he cared for Carrie more than anyone else. He had never felt this way about anyone before. But if Daxton was willing to do this for her and he wasn't, wouldn't that make his own feelings seem shallow in comparison? Carrie looked at him, unchallenged. "And your point is?" Kyson took a deep breath and declared determinedly, "If Daxton can embrace this child as his own, so can I. Regardless of who the father is, I'm prepared to offer the sprotection. And the status of the Webster family will make protecting this child easier, surpassing what Daxton could provide." Carrie was momentarily taken aback, not expecting Kyson to propose stepping into a fatherly role.
Regaining her composure, she asked coldly, "Is this sentiment shared by the entire Webster family?" Kyson faltered, lost for words.

You're the only male heir in your generation of the Webster family, and it's your responsibility to carry on the family legacy." Kyson interjected hastily, "I've never intended to have children, and my family hasn't pressured me..."
Carrie responded evenly, "They might not press you about marriage or children currey might even accept your decision about heirs. But they would never accept an outsider's child as a true member of the Webster family."
Kyson's expression wavered, then he sighed, managing a wistful smilen "Carrie, sometimes Xenvy Kristopher. You've always been so logical, yet you gave your all to him."
He added quickly, "And I don't envy Daxton. He may hold the title of your boyfriend, but it's clear your heart isn't with him."
