Brady gently stopped her.


    “Don’t worry, Rachel.


    It is not your fault.


    There is a simple solution.


    We can adopt a child from a very young age.


    When the time is right, you can choose a child you like and we will raise the child as our own.


    Ites to the same thing.


    Furthermore, the process of giving birth is so painful.


    We can avoid all that.


    I can’t bear to see you suffer.


    ”


    Brady’s words had a soothing effect on her.


    She was greatly moved.


    She felt reassured andforted so fell asleep peacefully.


    Once Rachel fell asleep, Brady stood up and quietly left the room.

    After closing the door, he dropped his facade.


    The maid approached him discreetly and informed him that there were not many calming incense sticks left.


    Brady frowned.


    “Make a call to the hospital and order more.


    She’s used to this fragrance; it would be terrible if she is deprived of it.


    ”


    The maid smiled.


    “Mrs.


    Lawson is indeed very fortunate.

    The so-called calming incense sticks, in actual fact, their primary purpose was to induce infertility in women.


    He had no emotional connection with Rachel.


    He merely used her to get the power and position he wanted.


    How could he allow a woman he did not love to bear his child?


    Besides, he already had Sumner.


    Sumner would be Brady’s only child, destined to be his primary heir in the future.


    After he defeated the Walsh family and assumed leadership of the four prominent families, unburdened by constraints, he nned to bring Sumner back immediately.


    A divorce from Rachel would soon follow, absolving Everleigh’s tarnished name.


    His son would no longer be shackled with the stigma of illegitimacy.


    He was almost there and just needed a bit more patience.


    Meanwhile, Jordan was seated at the center of the sofa, with Domenic and Carole nking him on either side.


    Jordan had a cheerful expression as he consulted an almanac to find an auspicious day for their engagement.


    After jotting down some dates, Jordan handed the almanac to Domenic, sayin “Domenic, I’ve gone through it.


    These dates are all propitious for your engagement party.


    You choose.


    ”


    “Any date is fine with me.


    ” Despite his words, Domenic took the almanac, nced cursorily, and then casually pointed to a date before passing it on to Carole.


    Carole smiled as she epted it.


    Jordan watched them with satisfaction, d to see their strong rapport and the positive evolution of their rtionship.


    With the engagement party scheduled for a weekter, Jordan’s eyes twinkled with anticipation.


    He sought their input on the engagement arrangements, including the venue andyout.


    Carole, feigning shyness, shot Domenic a sidelong nce and said, “Domenic can decide on that.


    ”


    “Carole and I have talked about it,” Domenic said, subtly signaling to Carole with his eyes.


    She immediately understood and nodded in agreement.


    “We both think we should keep it low-key, especially since Carole just made her public debut after appearing on a variety show.


    At this juncture, a high-profile engagement between Carole and myself might attract media attention, which could negatively affect Carole and our family.


    Had Carole not been privy to the phony engagement between herself and Domenic, she would have thought that he was sincerely considering her situation and the well-being of the Walsh family.


    But in reality, Domenic was trying to protect his genuine love from harm or distress.
