Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 856

When we saw the expression on Ivanna’s face, both Lauren and I sensed that she had something on her mind.

In truth, the two of us knew exactly what she was going to say.

"I don't want this baby!" Ivanna said through gritted teeth, her words sharp. "I spent the whole night thinking about it."

"You're being unreasonable," I retorted, a tinge of irritation in my voice. "Don't act impulsively. We're not kids anymore, so you need to face the situation head-on. You can't be reckless."

Lauren fixed her gaze on Ivanna as well. "I agree. You need to discuss this with Jared."

"I can't even find him! How can I discuss anything with him?" Ivanna was getting caught up in her frustration.

"Ivanna, please be rational. Given the current circumstances, he can't be with you all the time, even when he's in Foswood." I said harshly.

Lauren pulled me aside, offering me a comforting look before gently trying to persuade Ivanna to see reason. "You really need to think carefully about this, Ivanna. Don't be childish. Listen to what we have to say, okay?"

"I've thought about it all night. I don't want to think about it anymore!" She whined like a petulant child.

I felt a sense of urgency. After all, I knew what Ivanna was like. "Lauren’s right. We won’t force you to use this child to pressure Jared, but this is not just about you. You have to talk to him, even if you can't reach him right now. That doesn't mean he won't contact you at all, right?”

"I know something about Trinity's situation. There are priorities in life, and it's a matter of life and death over there. You can't deny him a chance to catch his breath," Lauren added, trying to reason with her.”

"Isn't this a matter of life and death for me as well?" Ivanna argued unreasonably.

"You're going a little too far, Ivanna. The child is yours and Jared's. Trinity's situation is uncertain right now, and even if you do manage to contact Jared, can you make him drop everything and come back to raise the child with you?" I said.
