Chapter 496 Irritating Rumors (2/2)

”What do you mean? I don't understand a word you just said. It doesn't make sense at all!”

”Oh my, you're really slow, aren't you! As the wife, she could not get pregnant. What else can she do? We all know that the An family is such a powerful and influential family. If she cannot give birth to the next generation, how long do you think she can keep her position as the crown princess?”

Carla, sitting opposite to the two woman, didn't speak but bit her own finger.

She was confused on how such news could have gotten

le. How could people sleep at night knowing that they had kept on talking about other people's personal lives? Other people's lives weren't for someone else's entertainment.

Now that she had heard all this with her own ears, she felt hard on herself.

She could not bear the pain that everyone thought of her less of a woman all because she could not bear a child in her womb. People do have such a backward kind of thinking!

But at the same time, she felt a little bit hopeless as she could not do anything to fight back.

As the best way of fighting back was to ignore them, completely, and to show them that motherhood was not limited to giving birth to another human life. Being a woman is not bound to the clutches of birth giving, that women can be successful wives without having babies in their arms. She could be who she was.

But at the moment, all that Carla was able to do was to touch her belly and put the bed sheet on her face.

Meanwhile, back in Rhys's house.

Rhys hung up the phone and returned to the bedroom.

Eunice was lying on the bed with a facial mask on her face. Then, she turned around and asked her husband, ”What's going on? Who called you? Why did you answer it outside?”

Rhys sat on the bed and gazed at Eunice who was lying there comfortably. He sighed and asked, ”Eunice, is it you who spread the gossip that Carla, our sister-in-law, can't get pregnant?”

Eunice's eyes grew bigger. She was surprised at what her husband had asked her. Then she stood up and asked back, ”Rhys, what do you mean? Do you think I will ever say that to others?

Was that Terence on the phone just now? Hmmph! He is really nice to his wife! Come on, it's just a little gossip! Why did he make such a big deal out of this? Why did he even call and ask his brother about it?”

Eunice sneered while she patted her face gently as not to displace her facial mask.

Hearing what she said, Rhys frowned and asked, ”So it's true that you have spoken to others about it, isn't it?”
