BOOK7 Chapter7
Just when I thought Lucas might finally realize that we had lost our child, he let
out a
cold laugh and accused me first.
“Hah, you’re faking an illness just to follow me around? You really have no
shame!”
Suppressing my anger, I shot back sarcastically, “I’m not as free as you are,
escorting
your employee to her prenatal checkups. Don’t tell me the baby she’s carrying is
yours?”
It was only then that Lucas realized he was still holding Ava. He quickly let go of
her,
then, as if trying to cover his tracks, added, “It’s a boss’s duty to care for their
employees. Not everyone is as cold and heartless as you!”
I couldn’t be bothered with his lies, so I gritted my teeth, got up, and started to
leave
this unpleasant scene.
But before I could, he suddenly grabbed my wrist, looking me over..
“You… you’re not actually sick, are you?”
BOOK/Chapter?
I knew how haggard and pathetic I looked at that moment.
I also knew I could have screamed at him, demanding why he didn’t care about
our
child.
But my heart was already dead. There was no need to be honest with him
anymore.
I coldly shook off his hand, which only made him curse at me more furiously.
“Crazy woman, keep pretending. Like I care whether you live or die!”
Then, with Ava flauntingly on his arm, he left.
