Chapter 281
Hearing Filip’s name didn’t stir much emotion in Cynthia. But when she heard about Pamela’s situation, she began to worry about her. I’ll come back later. I’m going to visit the Yates now, he said, turning to Jonathan.
Jonathan nodded and handed Cynthia the car key. Half an hour later, she arrived at the Yates residence. It was already
evening.
“Cynthia, I’m so glad you came. So much has happened recently What the hell does Filip want? He’s cohabitating with Lilian, fine. But now he wants to bring her home and even have a big wedding with her. Is he insane?” Henry sighed.
Cynthia pacified Henry before heading upstairs to check on Pamela.
When Cynthia entered. Pamela was lying on the bed and moaning. Upon hearing the sound, she rolled over. At the sight of Cynthia, she quickly sat up on the bed. “Cynthia, what brings you here?” she asked happily.
She stopped as if she had suddenly thought of something. “Who called you? I told them not to bother you”
Cynthia walked up to him. I miss you, so I came to visit you.”
Pamela felta pang of sadness. “You’re doing well now. Why did they tell you this? Just get on with your life.”
Cynthia sat on the bed and held Pamela’s hand. “No matter what, you shouldn’t risk your health. Henry said you couldn’t get out of bed after not eating or drinking for days. How can I not be worried?”
Pamela paused for a moment, then she glanced at the door. Tm pretending,” she whispered.
Cynthia was stunned. Pamela pulled open the bedside drawer and saw a drawer of snacks.
“Don’t you know me well? How could I possibly not eat anything: If I really fell ill, it would make that bitch happy. I’m not a fool, Pamela explained.
Cynthia couldn’t help but laugh. “Why are you keeping it from your husband? He was so worried about you that he asked. me to persuade you.”
Pamela snorted. “I want to make him worried. It’s his fault for not being able to handle his own son.”
At the mention of Filip, Pamela started wailing again. “Filip is such a brat! If I had known it earlier, I wouldn’t have given birth to him.
Cynthia laughed out loud. Pamela was such a kind of person
She had been willful and bossy from a baby. Though she was kind of aggressive, vain, and snobby outwardly, she was a kind person. Her bark was worse than his bite. She was good at crying and threatening suicide to get what she wanted.
“Don’t laugh at me. I don’t want to be alive, Pamela said, shooting Cynthia a glance.
“You look fine. That’s a relief, Cynthia said.
“I have many worries, Pamela sighed..
Because Filip’s going to have a wedding with Lilian? Cynthia asked.
“Did Henry tell you that?” Pamela asked back.
“Yes, he did, Cynthia replied.
Pamela felt furious just thinking about it. They got their marriage certificate without telling us, fine. But now they even

“The whole town knows he abandoned you on the altar and eloped with Lilian on his wedding day. How dare they ask for a big wedding? Lilian’s baby bump is so visible. Are they going to tell all the guests that it’s a shotgun wedding?
They may not care about their reputation, but I do! I don’t want to be mocked for the rest of my life. Also, Filip cheated on you with that bitch. I didn’t want to throw them a wedding”
Cynthia instantly understood. “Pamela, you’re afraid it’ll upset me, right?”
Pamela paused and looked up at her.
She had always treated Cynthia like her own daughter, even better than her own son. Filip and Lilian were legally married.
Pamela didn’t make things difficult for them when she learned that they obtained a marriage license. She must have a reason to act in this way when they wanted to throw a wedding.
In Ronerity, everyone knew what happened between Filip’s affairs in their circle. The Yates family had been mocked for years. Pamela had no reason to feel ashamed now.
Cynthia saw Pamela through. “I really don’t want to hold a wedding for them. I feel sorry for you. But Lilian always threatens us with her inborn child. She’ll abort the child if we don’t hold a big wedding for them.
“The baby is eight months old. After all, he’s my grandchild. I can’t bring myself to watch her kill the baby. If we throw a wedding for them, I’m afraid that you’ll cut ties with us, as you did with the Jones family.”
Pamela was on the verge of tears. “I truly see you as my daughter. I’m worried you’ll resent me because of this. I cannot tell you how much it’ll pain me.”
Cynthia held Pamela’s hand with a smile and replied seriously, “Don’t worry, I won’t. Filip and I broke up long ago. I’m married now. I won’t feel unhappy about their wedding. So, you really don’t need to worry about how I feel”
Filip and Lilian were legally married even if Pamela refused to accept that. After all, Filip was her son. She couldn’t cut all. the ties with him.
Pamela let out a deep sigh. “I really don’t want Lilian to be my daughter–in–law. She did so many things to hurt you. Henry and I have decided to move out after the wedding if they don’t go
“Also, we won’t help them take care of the kid. When we’re old, we’ll live with Yasmine. Out of sight, out of mind”
“Fine, fine. You can come live with me in the future,” Cynthia reassured her, smiling.
Pamela’s mood improved. “It’s rare to have you here. Stay for dinner with us. It’s just us and Matthew. Filip took Lilian to a business dinner tonight. They won’t be back until 10
p.m.”
Cynthia wasn’t afraid of running into
Filin and Lilian. She nodded, ”
