Chapter 221: Both are pregnant
On Christmas Day in '53, Marita, who had been in Switzerland for more than three months, returned to London to attend the royal family's New Year's celebrations.
But just after the following New Year, rumors of a quarrel between Marita and Eliza came from the royal family, and Marita left London and returned to Switzerland.
During the Spring Festival of '54, the Hoffman family, including many students from Nanhua in Europe, will come to Jonas Farm for the Spring Festival.
Audrey is used to Marita's presence, but this time, the news brought by Marita makes Audrey completely devastated.
Marita is pregnant.
It was because she was pregnant that she found an excuse to quarrel with Eliza and hid in Switzerland.
The news was good news for others, but for Audrey, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Although she and Zhou Nan have been using contraception before, in recent years, the two have been wanting a child but have not been able to do so.
Zhou Nan and Audrey's bodies are very normal, but they have not been able to conceive and become a knot in the hearts of the two people.
Zhou Nan has always suspected that it may be because he and Audrey have been cultivating Qi and Longevity, and refining and refining Qi has caused pregnancy difficulties.
Marita, on the other hand, has just started practicing, and she hasn't started yet, so it's easy for her to get pregnant.
In front of Zhou Nan, Audrey has always been a little unconfident.
In this family, the relationship between Zhou Nan and Audrey is the relationship between trees and vines, and Audrey has always grown up dependent on Zhou Nan's existence.
And in front of Marita, Audrey is also unconfident.
Marita's appearance is no worse than her, and even in the eyes of Westerners, Marita is even more beautiful than Audrey.
What's more, Marita is a real princess.
Although Audrey is a world-renowned star and actress, this kind of identity, in the upper class, cannot add too much aura to Audrey.
On the contrary, with Zhou Nan's identity, Marita's princess is very pink and seems to be more worthy of him.
Audrey's biggest reliance has always been Zhou Nan's love for her, and she has always wanted a child to stabilize the family relationship.
But I didn't expect that she and Zhou Nan had been together for eleven years, and it had been eight years since she crossed that relationship. None of them have children yet, and Marita and Zhou Nan have only had a child after only three months together.
Seeing that everyone, including Kelly and Caroline, was happy because of the arrival of this child, she was heartbroken.
Although she reluctantly accepted Marita's existence, it did not mean that she could accept that Marita had children before her.
Throughout the Spring Festival, Audrey held on to survive. By the end of the Spring Festival, everyone had left Jonas Farm, and Zhou Nan was focused on the 9th World Economic Forum, and she didn't even say a word to Zhou Nan, leaving home with Bonita and returning to Arnhem, the Netherlands.
As soon as she arrived at her brother's house in Arnhem, she fell ill.
The long-term depression and exhaustion made her sick this time menacing, and she didn't even have time to make love to her nephews and nieces.
Zhou Nan only found out that Audrey was missing at night, and when he saw the letter Audrey left him, he suddenly realized that he had indeed neglected Audrey's feelings during this time.
Kelly and Caroline have been expecting Zhou Nan to have a child of their own, and now Vera has two children and is pregnant with a third.
But Zhou Nan has not had any so far.
Zhou Nan is actually not in a hurry, he has no children in another life, and he has come over like this.
But he didn't take into account Audrey's feelings, and didn't feel her pressure.
Now that Marita is pregnant, the focus of the family has suddenly shifted to Marita, and Audrey's heart is of course uncomfortable.
And he has been busy with various entertainments during this time, and he is preparing to write "The Condor Heroes", ignoring Audrey.
Audrey didn't feel sad before there was no Marita, but now ......
When the social level reached the realm of Zhou Nan, Audrey's whereabouts were of course quickly investigated.
Knowing that Audrey was hiding back in the Netherlands, Zhou Nan didn't want to delay for a moment, and immediately asked the crew to contact the Dutch air traffic control department.
His heart also hurts, although he has accepted Marita now, but the person he really loves is Audrey, because Audrey is the obsession of his two lives, the person he cherishes the most in his heart.
How could he be willing to hurt Audrey, and how could he make her leave heartbroken!
Marita didn't know what was going on, she thought Audrey was just out on her errands. "What's going on, you're going to Holland now?"
Facing Marita, Zhou Nan was reluctant to blame her, although it was her existence that caused Audrey to be sad, but in the final analysis, the root cause was still on herself.
He was so greedy that he was not satisfied with Audrey, and fell down in front of Marita.
Audrey's injuries were brought by him, not Marita.
"Audrey went to the Netherlands...... I don't know how to explain it, you look at the letter she left. β
Audrey's letter did not complain about Marita, she just said that she was too tired during this time and wanted to rest for a while.
However, she can't help but feel a little sad that she is not pregnant yet, saying that she wants to use this time to recuperate her body.
But with Zhou Nan, a master of traditional Chinese medicine and internal strength, by her side, why did she go to the Netherlands to recuperate?
Marita soon understood the root of all this, that she was a little too high-profile after she became pregnant, which hurt Audrey's heart.
She said guiltily: "It's all my fault, it's me who hurt Audrey." β
Zhou Nan's heart was not comfortable at all, but he couldn't put pressure on Marita at this time. Comforting her and saying, "Everything is my fault, you are all good girls, I hurt her." β
An hour later, the Dutch side approved the special plane route in Zhounan.
Marita also wanted to go to the Netherlands with Zhou Nan, but Zhou Nan refused. "Marita, it's not suitable for you to go to the Netherlands at this time, you take care of the baby at home, and I'll pick up Audrey home."
As a Dutch and a medalist, Zhou Nan had a number of privileges in the Netherlands, including the requisition of military airfields.
When the plane landed at a military airfield next to the High FerruvΓ© National Park north of Arnhem, Audrey arrived in Arnhem within an hour.
But Zhou Nan got the news as soon as possible, and Audrey was sent to the hospital. And Bonita, who came to the Netherlands with Audrey, laughed when she saw Zhou Nan.
"Jonas, Audrey is pregnant too."
Looking at Audrey lying on the hospital bed and looking at her face carefully, Zhou Nan obviously felt that Audrey's little face had lost a lot of weight.
Marita's freshness, her busy career, these are no excuses. During this time, he did neglect Audrey a little.
Because of her long-term cultivation, Audrey can't be said to be immune to all diseases, at least not easy to get sick, but this time she fell ill.
Holding her hand, Zhou Nan's heart was like a knife. Put yourself in Audrey's position and think about it, she has indeed suffered too much grievances and pain during this time, which is the incompetence of his husband.
Knowing that Audrey was pregnant, Zhou Nan was not happy, only distressed.
Zhou Nan slowly fed the internal force into her body through her Taiyuan and Yangchi points, allowing her to quickly wake up.
Seeing Zhou Nan appear in front of her, Audrey was stunned for a while before she came to her senses and smiled at Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan also smiled, but felt that laughing was more uncomfortable than crying. He continued to convey the internal force, forming a strand with the internal force in Audrey's body, moisturizing her body.
"Honey, I'm sorry......"
Audrey smiled and said, "Love never has to say sorry." β
"But I did do something wrong, and during this time, I neglected you. I didn't even know you were pregnant. β
She paused for a moment, looked at Zhou Nan in disbelief, then turned her head to look at Bonita, and her brother and sister-in-law, seeing that everyone smiled and nodded, she really believed that she was pregnant.
Breaking free of Zhou Nan's hand, she gently touched her abdomen and said, "No wonder I always seem tired and depressed recently, it turns out that I am also pregnant." β
"So, go back to Jonas Farm, I'm going to take good care of you at home, and from this day forward, I'll never let you suffer a little more wrong."
Audrey rebelled this time since she was a child, but her plans to run away from home went bankrupt at the beginning.
The joy of pregnancy washed away all her dissatisfaction and sadness, and at this moment, she felt that she had a lot in common with Marita.
Never eat Marita's vinegar again.
But the next day, when she returned to Switzerland with Zhou Nan, Marita left Jonas Farm and returned to England.
Looking at the letter she left for herself and Audrey, Zhou Nan showed an indescribable wry smile.
In the letter, she said that she never wanted to hurt Audrey, but she really hurt Audrey by raising a baby on Jonas Farm.
So, she chose to return to the UK to deal with it all.
At this moment, Zhou Nan really wanted to learn from Hughes.
Hughes has a lot of women, but he can handle the relationship between women quite well.
And he only has two women, but he deals with a mess.
At the 9th World Economic Forum this year, Zhou Nan's energy was not focused on this.
Audrey's pregnancy is more to celebrate than Marita's, after all, she is the wife that Zhou Nanming is marrying.
Marita is pregnant, and no matter how much Kelly and Caroline like it, they can't show it in front of Audrey, but now they don't have that concern.
Vera also often came from Basel during this time to exchange pregnancy knowledge with Audrey and help take care of Audrey's pregnancy.
After the World Economic Forum, Zhou Nan went to the United Kingdom, but found that Marita was missing.
After she returned to London on 11 February, she sent a telegram to Zhou Nan, and then she was never heard from again.
And Kate King, the court lady next to Marita, was also fired by the royal family because of her "incompetent" performance, and she didn't know where Marita was.
With Marita's character, she dares to love and hate, she is sincere in her feelings, and obsessed with Zhou Nan, it is impossible for her to take the initiative to cut off the relationship with Zhou Nan.
Then there is only one fact, the royal family knew about Marita's pregnancy, so they forced Marita to separate from Zhou Nan.
At such a time, Zhou Nan could only go to Clarence Palace, where Queen Elizabeth lived, to visit the Queen Mother.
In Zhou Nan's impression, the Queen Mother has always been a gentle face, but this time, he encountered the other party's cold face.
At Clarence Palace, he was sneered at by the Queen Mother and kicked out of the palace.
He also had to go to Buckingham Palace to find Eliza.
However, it took five days for his request to meet him to receive a response from Eliza, who was to receive him on the afternoon of the 25th.
In the past few days, Zhou Nan has also been using his connections to investigate Marita's whereabouts when she returned to the UK.
It is now almost certain that Marita was sent to the Queen Mother to raise her baby at Grahms Castle in Scotland.
It's just that both sides are people who want to save face, and it is impossible for Zhou Nan to break into Grams Castle directly, even if he goes, there are guards, and he can't break in.
The solution of the matter still needs to be in London, here in Eliza.
In Buckingham Palace, under the influence of Zhou Nan's family, Eliza also built a glass house in the back garden.
It's still a bit cold in London in February, but sitting in a glass house, the cold wind is insulated and the sun is warm, so the temperature inside the house is very comfortable.
And in such a glass house, the guards can see everything inside the house from the outside, so they don't have to be close to each other, and they can also negotiate some private topics.
It was here that Eliza met Zhou Nan, and although she invited Zhou Nan to afternoon tea, Zhou Nan had no interest in tea or snacks.
"Mr. Zhou, we have always respected you and associated with you with kindness, but have you targeted us with betrayal and insults?"
For several days, Zhou Nan has been speculating about how Eliza will deal with her, and her current questioning is not unexpected by Zhou Nan.
Since she spoke to herself in such an official tone, Zhou Nan would dismantle her words from the aspect of personal feelings.
"Eliza, isn't that exactly what you want? Marita is now riddled with scandals, and she lost her right to the throne, which is also a good thing for you, isn't it? β
"Jonas, you're being presumptuous, and it's not your turn to comment on the matter between me and Marita. Anyway, she's my sister. β
Zhou Nan said without relenting: "She is my woman, the mother of my children. β
"But it's not your wife!"
This is irrefutable by Zhou Nan. A princess is pregnant before marriage, and the other party is still a married man. Anyway, it's Zhou Nan's fault.
Zhou Nan sighed and said, "Eliza, don't talk to me in this official tone. I'm in front of you just to talk to you about how to solve this matter. Marita attaches great importance to this child, and she will definitely not agree to kill this child, so what are you going to do? β
"We're going to arrange a fake wedding for Marita to make this child legitimate. As for the rest, it's up to you to think about it. β
This is the best way to do it right now. Although the whole of Britain is looking forward to Marita's wedding, she is not destined for a big wedding.
Although Eliza's desire for power is a little bigger, even if it is for the reputation of the royal family, she can do this to Zhou Nan's satisfaction.
"Then, I am here, waiting for your ruling, as long as it is not a condition that violates the principle, I can promise you."
"Can you still talk to me about principles? It's so ironic. She remembered the shame of the last time.
Zhou Nan's expression was very calm. "Eliza, we are now solving problems, not creating contradictions."
She looked at Zhou Nan hatefully for a while before she let out a breath and said, "You're a bastard!" β
