Chapter 1454: Chapter 1457: The Baby in the Belly, Gender Revealed (Added 3)
“The dresses you’re going to wear at the banquet, Dad has already had soone deliver them. They are all custom-made by renowned designers, so pick one carefully. As for the rest, everything can wait until Dad introduces you to everyone at the banquet, it’s not too late to deal with those things then.”
Hannah Ford’s heart almost soared upon hearing that the dresses had arrived.
Then, when Charles Coldwell ntioned that he would introduce her to everyone.
She couldn’t help but start to imagine herself clad in a stunning dress, making her entrance at the banquet, attracting the gaze of all the guests.
At that mont, she would surely beco the center of attention.
And, at a banquet personally hosted by Marshal Charles Coldwell, the attendees would definitely be Eastonia’s most elite guests.
At that ti, she wondered how many talented young n would take note of her unmatched beauty.
Thinking of this, the smile in Hannah’s eyes deepened even further.
“Dad, thank you… You really are the best dad!” Overwheld with joy, Hannah couldn’t restrain her elation.
Wanting to please Charles Coldwell, she spontaneously wrapped her arms around his neck.
She leaned forward, aiming to press her face against Charles Coldwell’s chiseled features.
However, before she could touch Charles Coldwell, Hannah felt sothing harshly strike her cheek.
Before she could react, a forceful shove pushed her backward.
Hannah stumbled several steps, her heels hitting the base of the wall before she managed to stop.
“Dad—?” Hannah touched her face, a look of confusion on her face.
Her right cheek was burning, as if sothing had struck it hard.
A flash of cold light passed through Charles Coldwell’s icy eyes but quickly subsided.
“Dad isn’t used to close contact with others.” He rubbed his right wrist with his left hand, appearing sowhat annoyed, “Sorry, Hannah, it’s a reflex from many years in the military. Dad was too rough.”
Hannah suddenly realized that the slap on her face wasn’t an illusion.
Charles Coldwell had indeed raised his hand to slap away her face as she tried to get closer.
“Hannah, don’t be mad at Dad. It’s just a bodily stress response. Now go ahead and try on the dresses, and if you want to match them with so jewelry, just tell Uncle Williams. Dad will call Frank Chamberlain right now and give him a proper lesson for you. As for that Lily Redington, after the banquet is over, Dad will personally take care of her.”
Hearing Charles Coldwell’s promises, Hannah, who had been slightly heartbroken just monts before, imdiately burst into laughter.
“Alright, then I’ll go try on the dresses. Dad, you can’t forget your promise, don’t you dare lie to Hannah!”
Charles Coldwell smiled and nodded, watching Hannah leave.
His face, which had held a faint smile, beca grim.
His ruthless and stern aura slowly enveloped his scarred, handso face.
He coldly removed his dark gloves, holding them in his hands.
Then, with a look of utter disgust, he wiped down his arms, elbows, and collar that Hannah had touched.
Monts later, he threw his regularly used dark gloves into the trash can without hesitation.
“Presumptuous—” The last glance he took at the discarded gloves was followed by these four cold words from Charles Coldwell.

The next day, Mr. Lucas took Lily to the hospital in high spirits.
On the way back from the hospital, Mr. Lucas was unusually silent.
Lily found it amusing and pinched the man’s hand, deliberately asking him, “What’s the matter, don’t you like having a daughter?”
The baby in her belly had already been checked, three months along, and for now, seed to be a girl.
However, it was said that three months could be inaccurate, and that they could check again in five months.
But Lily felt that it was unnecessary to check again—this child was definitely going to be a daughter.
Because that man so dearly wished to have a daughter.
His conviction must have moved the heavens.
