Chapter 4
At this moment, Valerie looked exactly like a zombie bride from
a horror movie.
Her face was deathly pale, and she struggled forward with a grotesquely oversized belly, reaching out a trembling hand toward Peter. “Peter, please help me up.”
However, Peter was so terrified by her appearance that his whole body shook, his eyes wide with shock.
“What happened to you? What did you do?” he asked in disbelief.
Just last week, when he heard that Valerie had successfully conceived his child, he had been overjoyed.
But he never imagined that a person could carry so many babies
at once.
“Is she even human? How can she be carrying so many?” Peter muttered to himself, his voice filled with shock and disgust.
Bruce and Evelyn also stood there with their mouths agape, completely stunned.
They had thought they would finally have grandchildren, but seeing Valerie’s condition, they couldn’t help but feel conflicted.

Valerie shuffled toward Peter step by step, her belly so enormous that it had torn through her wedding dress.

To put it bluntly, her belly looked like a giant ball, and through the almost transparent skin, you could even see the constantly moving outlines of the fetuses inside.
Valerie forced a weak smile on her pale face and grabbed Peter’s hand. “Peter, I knew you would choose me. Only I deserve to be your wife.”
But when Peter saw that terrifying belly, he instinctively pushed her away. “Get away from me! Don’t touch me!”
Caught off guard, Valerie fell to the ground, her massive belly hitting the floor hard, causing her to let out a piercing scream of pain. Soon, blood began flowing from her lower body.
The city hall staff were so shocked by the scene that they cried out and rushed over to help lift Valerie up.
Other couples waiting to register their marriages began whispering among themselves.
“What pregnant woman has a belly that big? She must have secretly taken fertility drugs.”
“Didn’t you hear earlier? That guy just wants to find a woman who can give him sons. Maybe they forced that girl to take them!”

“With her belly that big, they should have noticed something was wrong ages ago. Looking at that family, you’d think they were decent people, but they didn’t even get the pregnant woman a doctor?”
“What animals! She’s working so hard carrying those babies, and he actually hit a pregnant woman!”
“That belly looks like it’s about to crush her, and that guy still wants to marry her?”

Peter and his parents, being pointed at and whispered about by everyone, could only glare resentfully at Valerie.
Meeting Peter’s obvious disgust, Valerie’s tears immediately streamed down her face.
Watching this scene, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Wow, so this is the kind of child Peter wanted!
“No wonder I couldn’t get pregnant. Even if I had this kind of luck, I wouldn’t want it.”
Hearing my words, Valerie was so angry that her chest heaved violently.
With a pale face, she screamed at me at the top of her lungs:

Chapter 4
“Isabel, you b*tch, this is all your fault!
“What did you do to me?”
She tried to reach out and hit me, but the miscarriage had left her extremely weak. After just a few steps, the severe pain in her belly made her double over, crying out in agony.
I looked at her with a mocking smile. “What does your pregnancy have to do with me? Did I force you to get pregnant?”
She screamed in breakdown: “It was you! If it weren’t for you, how would I have ended up like this? Because I had already bound…”
But halfway through her sentence, she suddenly shut her mouth.
After all, nobody would believe her if she talked about the system.
So instead of continuing to yell at me, she turned to Peter for help: “Peter, this is all Isabel’s fault. You need to teach her a lesson!”
Even now, Valerie still thought she could turn things around with the babies in her belly, thinking Peter would help her for the sake of the children.
Unfortunately, she was deluding herself.

Although Peter did want Valerie to carry his child, he had oligospermia and couldn’t possibly get a woman pregnant with so many babies at once.
No matter how confident Peter usually was, he couldn’t help but have doubts now.
He looked at Valerie coldly, his voice full of mockery: “Who are you? Get lost! Don’t interfere with my marriage to Isabel!”
