Chapter 11 Is Mrs. Heilbronn Pregnant?
Ulysses looked up at Aurelia and asked, “Did you order takeout?”
Aurelia got up and walked to the entrance, saying, I’ll know who it is when I open the door.”
When she saw the person outside, Aurelia was flustered..
“What are you doing here?” she asked.
“How can you stay at a single man’s place when you’re already married? Come back with me.”
“I’m married? We’ve already agreed on a divorce, and we’re going to go through the last step tomorrow,” Aurelia replied.
She wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
Nathaniel, however, ignored her words and forcefully carried her outside.
At the door, he instructed Zack, “Bring Mrs. Heilbronn’s luggage out.” He was as oppressive as ever.
“You bastard put me down,” Aurelia struggled, but Nathaniel ignored her and carried her downstairs, stuffing her into the car.
As long as they didn’t finish the last step of the divorce, he wouldn’t allow her to stay outside. That was his principle.
“Do you want a divorce? Let’s go together tomorrow,” he said.
“Okay.” Aurelia calmed down when talking about divorce, adjusting her posture and looking out of
the window.
As the car left the neighborhood, Aurelia gazed at the street scene outside, feeling sad.
She had never had a say in front of Nathaniel, so she felt that the divorce was the best choice. As for other matters, she could only follow his arrangements. For example, today, she didn’t want to go back with him, but she was forcibly put into the car. She wouldn’t resist before, and she couldn’t resist now.
Nathaniel had always been dominant, and their brief marriage was never fair. Since their marriage was coming to an end, it didn’t matter for her to hold on for another day.
Back at the villa, Betty had prepared a table of food. Nathaniel went straight to the study as soon

as he got home and didn’t come out. Aurelia felt more at ease eating alone. She had been Mrs. Heilbronn for three years, so she was quite particular about food. She preferred Betty’s cooking. During the days she wasn’t home, she hadn’t had a satisfying meal. It was as if she had returned from a famine, and her appetite was good.
Perhaps it was because of the pregnancy that she always felt hungry, and the baby in her belly. seemed to have a good appetite, too.
When Betty brought out the soup and saw that Aurelia had finished all the food, she was momentarily stunned. She then smiled with relief. Since Aurelia’s marriage, Reed had arranged for Betty to take care of them. In the three years, it was the first time she had seen Aurelia so satisfied with her cooking. For a chef, this was the greatest honor.
Betty smiled and asked, “Mrs. Heilbronn, would you like some more?”
Aurelia waved her hand, feeling a bit embarrassed, “Betty, I’m full.”
Betty went back to the kitchen and brought a bowl. Then have some seafood soup. Mr. Heilbronn had someone send this seafood; I heard the fish was flown right after being caught. The ingredients were very fresh. Mr. Heilbronn asked me to cook it for you tonight.” Aurelia fell silent. She didn’t know why he was suddenly so nice to her.
Betty had already served a bowl of soup in front of Aurelia. The soup looked very appetizing.
It used to be her favorite, and she would ask Betty to cook it almost every few days.
Nathaniel didn’t like this kind of soup, but Aurelia would always have two bowls. But today, as Aurelia smelled the soup, she suddenly felt nauseous.
Betty became anxious and quickly checked the soup but found nothing wrong. She put down what she was holding to comfort Aurelia, but she was also puzzled. After all, she had been pregnant. before.
“Mrs. Heilbronn, are you pregnant? Betty asked.
Aurelia blushed and quickly pushed the soup away, enduring the feeling of nausea. “No, I just finished my period.”
Aurelia wanted to hide her pregnancy from Betty, so she quickly left the restaurant, fearing that it would arouse Betty’s suspicion.
The door of the study on the second floor was closed, but she couldn’t help but tiptoe upstairs to her room to get a nightgown. That down, she went straight to the guest room to wash up and

sleep.
In the middle of the night, she felt her waist being held, which startled her. She was a little awake and was about to push the person next to her away, but a strong force held her head against a sturdy chest.
Smelling the familiar woody scent mixed with a hint of tobacco, Aurelia couldn’t help but cry
“What are you doing?”
Nathaniel seemed very sleepy, his voice lazy. “Don’t move, Go to sleep.”
As he spoke, he held her tighter, domineeringly-pressing her against his chest, regardless of whether she was comfortable or not.
Aurelia was almost suffocated in his embrace, struggling slightly in his arms.
She deliberately took a single quilt and hid in the guest room, afraid that he would suddenly force her to have sex with him. She had to protect the child in her belly and couldn’t afford another accident. Thinking of that, Aurelia felt that her current situation was very dangerous. He held her
so tightly. She thought, ‘Is he really going to do it right now?”
It was possible. She was well aware of his strong desire for sex…
Feeling his body temperature through the clothes, Aurelia took a deep breath and wondered, “We’re getting a divorce tomorrow. How can I get rid of him tonight?”
It was a bit difficult for her. She knew his temper and that resistance would only provoke him.
Unfortunately, the single quilt was too small for such a tall man as Nathaniel. They had to be close together if they wanted to cover themselves with the quilt.
“Mr. Heilbronn ?” She tentatively called out, but Nathaniel ignored her..
He was almost asleep now, but even so, his arm still held her waist tightly.
You’re in the wrong room; this is the guest room,” she reminded Nathaniel softly, still not getting any response. “It is unfair to Chelsea, isn’t it?”
Like a sleeping lion whose tail had been stepped on, Nathaniel suddenly opened his eyes and rolled over. He pressed Aurelia down and stared at her. Even in the dark, she could still see his deep eyes. She didn’t know what he was thinking. Sure enough, Chelsea was his weakness, and he didn’t allow anyone to mention her.
Anyway, they were getting a divorce, and at this moment, Aurelia suddenly wanted to test hist

bottom line without considering the consequences. In the past, she was careful in front of him,
what afraid of being despised by him. Now that he was going to abandon her and be with Chelsea, could be worse for Aurelia? Previously, Aurelia was so humble, just wanting him to fall in love with her, but she later learned that love couldn’t be begged for. He didn’t love her, so it was useless for her to do anything.
“What are you doing?”
“Is there anything wrong?”
They almost spoke at the same time.
Nathaniel suddenly chuckled, lowered his head, and buried it in her neck.
He asked, “What do you think I’m going to do? Or what are you expecting me to do?”
