Hot Secret of Marriage

"Positive?"

Daisy's mouth trembled, as did her hand that was holding the pregnancy test. She, who was in the toilet, fell down in disbelief.

"This can't be!" the straight-haired girl whispered.

She threw the small object into the corner of the toilet. The double line she had just seen was like a loud boom that hit the earth. There was no way Daisy could get pregnant, since no man had ever fucked her.

A knock on the door made the pretty girl gasp. Surely her future husband's parents and family were eagerly awaiting the results down there.

"Daisy? Daisy? Are you okay?"

It was her mother's voice. Even being honest with her parents scared Daisy. She wasn't sure they would believe her explanation. Based on the positive evidence on the test pack, her parents would think Daisy was bragging, lying, or ....

"Daisy? What took you so long, Honey?"

Again, her mother asked as she knocked on the door. Daisy's mind was completely stuck. Her head was spinning, wondering who had gotten her pregnant. Not even Denver - her boyfriend - had done anything to her.

"Open the door, Daisy. Don't make me worry-"

Elijah was silenced with a flurry of questions when her daughter opened the door with a glum look. "What's wrong with you, Daisy?" the socialite-style woman asked anxiously.

Daisy rushed to embrace her mother. She had high hopes that the woman who gave birth to her would believe her. "I beg you ... you must believe me no matter what you will find out later," she said, with tears in her eyes.

Elijah, who did not understand, released her daughter's embrace. Then she framed her sweet, frightened face. "What's wrong, Honey?"

There was no answer from Daisy. Her daughter just sobbed while looking down. Various speculations filled her head. Elijah immediately went into the toilet to look for the test pack that her future son-in-law had given her.

It turned out that the tiny object was lying at the end of the toilet. Then she grabbed it in the hope that the results were striped one. But immediately Elijah was unsteady. Her head suddenly hurt when she saw the test pack result was positive.

Elijah staggered out of the toilet. "Who got you pregnant?" She asked flatly. Her voice was heavy, as if she was swallowing disappointment.

Daisy dropped to her knees and hugged Elijah's legs. "I beg you to believe me, that test pack could be wrong... I've never slept with anyone."

"You think I'm that stupid, Daisy? Then what is this?" Elijah asked back, showing the test pack in front of her daughter's face.

Daisy shook her head and looked up at Elijah, who looked away. "But I haven't had sex with anyone at all. I'm not pregnant, Mom. Please... you have to believe me!"

"What's going on?"

Like a baritone, Harrison's question made Daisy flinch when she heard her father coming.

"Look at this!" Elijah held out the test pack to her husband. She still couldn't believe what she was seeing. But the test results were undeniable. It was like a thunderbolt in the stillness of the night.

"Stand up!" commanded Harrison angrily.

Daisy stood with her head down. She couldn't look her parents in the eye right now, especially her father. But silence and resignation were not the way out. She had to voice her honesty so that they wouldn't misunderstand her.

"Please, Dad. Believe me... the test pack was wrong. I'm not at all-"

"WHO HAS PREGNANTED YOU?" snapped Harrison. His knuckles were clearly imprinted as his hairy hands clenched into tight fists.

Daisy and Elijah gasped in shock. Harrison, who has a stern demeanor, can't be expected to be that angry. Instantly, the atmosphere in Daisy's room turned tense. Really, she needed her parents' hugs right now. However, even hugging her mother felt far away. It wasn't about the distance, but about her having no defense for her.

"ANSWER ME!"

Again. Harrison snapped while hitting the wall. He was upset to see his eldest daughter just crying. It was really embarrassing. What's more, right now there was the Gilbert family downstairs who would be having a wedding talk tomorrow.

There was still no answer from Daisy. Meanwhile, Elijah was busy guessing in the blink of an eye. Despite his daughter's long stay in Xiney City, she believed that Daisy was not close to any man there. She had only been asked out by Denver, her fiancé whom she had only known for the past month. Who is the son of a prominent businessman and the result of an arranged marriage between Harrison and Gilbert, his best friend.

Or maybe it was because Daisy was so clever at lying that her parents thought that their daughter was still good at taking care of herself.

"It seems Daisy really doesn't know who impregnated her. Let's discuss it with the Gilbert family," Elijah suggested a little softly. Because getting angry was pointless.

"Don't be crazy, Elijah! Where would I put my face in front of the Gilbert family if our daughter was pregnant?" Harrison growled.

"It would be more embarrassing if Daisy's child was born without a father. Besides, we need to be suspicious. Daisy has been hanging out with Denver for a month now. There's a good chance he's the one who fucked our child!" said Elijah.

"So why did Denver suggest that Daisy be tested first if he did it?"

Yes, Harrison was confused. Even if Denver did impregnate his daughter, why would his future son-in-law insist that Daisy be tested before the wedding? It's as if Denver is introspective about getting a virgin wife.

Both of them were silent. Disappointment, anger, and confusion mixed together. Daisy, meanwhile, was still unable to see her parents' gaze. She understood what they were feeling and thinking. Including who got her pregnant. She don't know, everything is like a big puzzle.

Meanwhile, the Gilbert family, who were visiting in the living room accompanied by Angel, Harrison's second daughter, looked confused when Daisy and her parents came down the stairs with wrinkled faces. They don't look as fresh as they did earlier. Denver felt guilty, especially his fiancée, as it looked like the hazel-eyed girl had been crying.

"Mr. Harrison? How did it go? I believe the result was negative. I'm sorry for being so presumptuous. Because this is my family's decision."

Denver - the tall man apologized to Harrison and Elijah for asking that Daisy take a test pack before the wedding.

Harrison doesn't answer. The fifty-something man held out a thin object on the table, right in front of Denver. "Since when did you dare touch my son?" he asked coldly. Yes, he was sure that Denver had gotten his daughter pregnant. He was her fiancé, after all.

Denver, who was sitting between his parents and brother, was almost wide-eyed. The sight of the two red lines on the table was like an eye wrench. It was painful. So did Gilbert, Karen, and Gerald. They were equally shocked.

"What does this mean?"

"Yes, Mr. Harrison? Whose test pack is this? It can't be Daisy's, can it?" Karen asked.

"Daisy answer, can you explain what this means?"

The barrage of questions from Denver and his parents was like a sharp knife attacking the chest cavity. It was suffocating. Daisy couldn't even begin to explain.

Harrison sighed heavily. "Yes, I'm sorry Gilbert, Karen... that test pack proved that my daughter was pregnant. My wife and I are just finding out now, but we are certain that the father of Daisy's unborn child is... Denver!" he concluded anxiously.

Denver was gaping at his accusation.

"What? Pregnant?"
