Chapter 1746
Chapter 1746:
And yet, here he was, seated alone in his office, long past working hours, unwilling to return to a house devoid of warmth, affection, and the comfort of a familiar presence.
As he pondered, a sudden pain gripped his heart. He clutched his chest, puzzled. “Why does thinking about Tracy make my heart ache?” he murmured to himself. He had no answers. No one had ever explained such feelings to him. Love and affection were foreign concepts, absent from his upbringing and entirely beyond his understanding.
But a voice within him continuously murmured, “Look upon her, gaze upon her, and your heart will find tranquility.”
He tried to suppress that voice, but the more he tried, the stronger the feeling grew. He needed to see Tracy now!
The realization struck him so suddenly that he stood abruptly, grabbed his car keys, and strode out of the office. He knew exactly where to find her. Without hesitation, he drove directly to Jayden’s villa.
When Elyse heard that Lowell was at the gate, demanding to come inside, she was momentarily stunned. She hurriedly asked, “What does Lowell want here?”
Driscoll’s response was just as surprising. “He said he wishes to see Tracy. He claims there’s something important he needs to discuss with her.”noveldrama
Elyse’s mouth fell open in disbelief. After a brief pause, she stammered, “He… he doesn’t intend to take her away for an abortion, does he? No, no, we can’t let him in!”
At that moment, Tracy appeared at the top of the stairs, her expression blank but resolute. “It’s alright,” she said quietly. “I’ll see him.”
Elyse stared at her in disbelief. “How did you know Lowell was here? I haven’t told you yet!”

Tracy lifted her phone, the screen still glowing. “He called me. I agreed to meet him.”
Elyse’s expression darkened with concern. “I don’t want you to face him alone.”
Tracy offered a faint, reassuring smile. “It’s alright. This is something Lowell and I need to settle once and for all.”
Elyse’s face was clouded with worry.
After descending the stairs, Tracy gently clasped Elyse’s hand and offered a tender smile. “It’s alright,” she reassured. “I’m carrying his child—there’s simply no avoiding that reality.”
Elyse’s lips tightened into a thin line. “He’s a real piece of work. I wouldn’t put it past him to whisk you away and pressure you into ending the pregnancy.”
Tracy, absorbing these words, instinctively rested her palm against her belly, her thoughts drifting inward. The silence stretched between them before Tracy finally spoke. “You know, when you advised me to abandon thoughts of revenge these past few days, I genuinely considered it. But truthfully, I struggle to envision a life without that purpose driving me forward.”
She inhaled deeply, her shoulders rising and falling with the effort. “My path ahead feels clouded. I remain torn about whether to bring this child into the world.”
Elyse contemplated this before responding thoughtfully, “That’s understandable. Life’s intricate challenges can’t be solved easily. You can take your time.”
Tracy’s lips curved slightly upward. “Don’t fret, I’ll watch out for myself.”
With that declaration, she strode purposefully toward the villa’s entrance. Elyse, recognizing her inability to detain Tracy, felt emotion swell unexpectedly within her. “I’ve always strived to shelter her, but witnessing her departure just now illuminated something important—she’s matured into an adult. Whatever decisions she makes, I should respect her autonomy.”
Driscoll nodded approvingly. “You’ve experienced personal growth yet again. It brings me genuine pleasure to witness your evolution.”
