Chapter 107 Who’s the Father? After all, this was their generation’s matter, and he ultimately shouldn’t interfere. “I don’t really care,” Claudia said as she finished her ravioli and picked up an orange to peel. “If youguys feel embarrassed, you can also tell everyone that I’m pregnant with someone else’s child, so youcan save face.” “What are you talking about?” Thoma s’s face turned even uglier, suddenly realizing something, hereacted, “Are you pregnant?!” Last time when she went on a blind date, she had a reaction. He later forgot about it, could it be… Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Claudia nodded. The first one to realize was Emily. “Pregnant, huh? Then I’m going to be a grandmother!” Emily exclaimed joyfully as she stood up. Herexcitement was contagious, and Thomas also became delighted. Emily was right, there was going to be a new addition to the family, which was ultimately a joyousoccasion. Watching their father’s face change so quickly, all the sons pretended not to notice. Only Waldron, grasped the key point. He looked at Claudia suspiciously and asked, “Who is the child’s father?” 32 Claudia’s hands paused as she peeled the orange. If she had known that the child was Edmond’s,there would have been a huge uproar. She had already prepared herself to cut ties with the Lamontfamily, it would be better to have less trouble before the child was born. She opened her lips and spoke in a cold tone, “It wasn’t his.” Ervin glanced at her and said nothing. Waldron’s eyes widened after hearing it: “It’s not his? Then whose is it?” Upon hearing that it was not Edmond, his anger toward Edmond immediately subsided.

Whose is it? Claudia was also stumped by these words. How should I continue this conversation? She believed that if she were to say the name of any man at that moment, she would be forced tomarry that person the next day. Because of this, she was momentarily at a loss for words and didn’t know what to say. Just as she was feeling troubled, a person walked down from upstairs and whispered, “It’s mine.” Everyone, including Claudia, looked toward the stairs as Horace, dressed in a long coat, gracefullywalked down. Everyone suddenly remembered that there was a stranger in the house. 14.30% 11:52 After he stayed here on the day of the family recognition, he continued to live here. As soon as they heard him say that the child was his, angry glares fell upon him. Feeling that something was off, Horace quickly said, “What I meant was, I could be the child’s father.” “Miss Seraphina must have her reasons for not wanting to speak about it, but a child cannot be withouta father. Coincidentally, I also like children, so… I don’t mind having more than one child.” The crowd: “…” I have seen people who are happy to become fathers, but I have never seen someone so eager tobecome a father as this. Claudia awkwardly smiled and froze: “Mr. Ferguson, please don’t joke. It wouldn’t be good for yourreputation if this matter gets out.” “I didn’t care about reputation,” Horace’s expression was complicated. Claudia’s pregnancy was indeedunexpected for him, but he had never cared about such things as reputation. As long as she was willing, he had the courage. After he finished speaking, the whole room fell silent, so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping onthe ground could be heard.

At this moment, Thomas also sized up Horace. Compared to Edmond, this kid had a stronger sense ofresponsibility. Especially the matter of becoming a father, whether he was sincere or had ulterior motives, at least itshows that he can adapt and is a capable person! Thinking about this, Thomas liked it more and more as he looked at it. Claudia noticed the way he appreciated it and felt uneasy. Horace ran out and said he was willing to become a father. Even if Horace really agreed, she wouldn’tagree, which would be unfair to them. “Mr. Ferguson, thank you for being willing to sacrifice yourself to do so much for us, but this is really notappropriate… Also, I don’t want to form a family with someone else for the time being,” Claudia politelysmiled, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, gently lifting and then dropping, brushingacross Horace’s heart like feathers. This statement was a blatant refusal, and most people would have given up at this point. But he wasnot an ordinary person. He came for her in the first place. “Don’t rush to reject me on this matter,” Horace looked at her affectionately, his eyes clear like a lake,deep and tender. “A child cannot be without a father, whether it’s accompanying you for prenatal check-ups or when the child goes to school, the role of a father is crucial and irreplaceable.” Horace’s voice was gentle, yet it struck the suspended thread in Claudia’s heart like a sledgehammer. Even if she deceived herself, the fact that the child cannot be without a father remains true. But this does not mean that she can just replace a father for her child casually, which is not responsible foranyone. Just got hurt in the previous relationship and don’t want to get into another one so soon. “Can I ask you a question?” Ervin raised his glasses, squinting with a smile, his voice gentle. “What isyour reason for wanting to be my nephew’s father? Is it to form an alliance with the Friedan family, or do you genuinely like my sister?” Everyone looked at Horace, except Claudia, who blushed with embarrassment.

She didn’t expect that Ervin, who is usually gentle, would ask such sharp questions. How can one respond to this? Neither answer is a good answer. Ervin laughed like a fox. Everyone knew that Horace’s visit to Wellfort this time was to choose a noble family for marriage. Itwas certain that he had a purpose in staying at his own house. These days, Horace almost declined all the invitations to go out, except for going out with Claudia. Hespent most of his time working in his room. He had already had the answer in his heart, he just wanted to confirm it personally. Horace’s lips curled up as he glanced at Claudia, his handsome face exuding warmth. Under the gazeof everyone, he candidly admitted, “Yes, I liked Miss Seraphina.” “Why?” Waldron sneered, lifting his chin and seoffing, “Don’t tell me it’s some kind of love at first sight.” Although this Horace looked pleasing to the eye, marriage is not a child’s play. In his opinion, thisHorace was still a little lacking to be a suitable match for his sister. No matter how good-looking, it cannot be eaten as a meal. These days, there have been more socialites coming to my house than in the past year. Upon carefulconsideration, it is not difficult to guess who these women are coming for. “I must confess, when I was fifteen years old, I had already met Miss Seraphina. I was being bullied atthe time, and she came to my rescue. Ever since then, I have always remembered her. However, I hadbeen unable to replace her all these years, until I saw her in the news,” Horace recounted, and as hementioned his savior, a picture flashed in Claudia’s mind. Probably when she was in junior high school, she witnessed someone stealing money from a boy. Itwas said to be a transfer student from the neighboring school. No one dared to cause trouble in theschool, but incidents like this would often happen outside the school. Claudia squinted and glanced at Horace, and his face gradually merged with the face in her memory. She just helped out a little, but she didn’t expect him to remember it for so long. “I liked Miss Seraphina,” Horace said calmly, his handsome eyebrows and eyes sparkling. “If given the

chance, I would like to take care of her for the rest of her life.” Thomas and Emily were moved, not only them, even Waldron had nothing to say. This guy is more sincere than Edmond!
