Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 167

After hanging up the call, Jared put down the phone, lost in thought.

He was considering Hayden's suggestion.

Probably, Hayden was right. If he kept stalling, things would probably got out of control.

Jared picked up his phone again as he was thinking, open WhatsApp, tabbed on Amber's ID in the contact list, and messaged her.

Z: I knew about your pregnancy.

Amber was reading a file. Her phone vibrated.

She looked up to check it, only to find a message from Z. She was confused.

They had just finished chatting. Why did he message her again?

"What do you want to tell me?" Amber thought to herself as she tabbed open the chatbox.

Reading his message, Amber stiffened.

He had known it.

Amber clenched her hands, frowned, and replied: How did you know?

Z: Your friend went to find Hayden. Hayden called me.

Seeing that, Amber understood. She patted her forehead.

Oh, she thought Z had sent someone to watch her.

Had the pregnancy diminished her intelligence?

Amber typed: Since you knew it, I won't hide it from you anymore. Yes, I'm pregnant.

Z: Why didn't you tell me?

Amber frowned.

Amber: Why should I tell you?

Reading her question, Jared looked annoyed.

Why?

She asked why!

Z: Because I'm the baby's father.

Amber pursed her lips.

Amber: You are the baby's father, but it doesn't mean I must tell you. It was an accident between us. I also got pregnant by accident. We don't know each other. I don't know your identity. I don't need you to take any responsibility. Why should I tell you just because you are the baby's father?

Jared was rendered speechless, pressing his lips tightly.

Although he had to admit that her words made sense, he felt pretty irritated.

Pinching between his eyebrows, Jared typed: Although you don't need me to take the responsibility, I must. I want to know your plan for the baby. Would you like to keep it or...

He paused several seconds. Then clenching his fists, he finished typing and sent the message.

Amber read his question. When she saw that he asked if she wanted to keep or abort the baby, her heart tightened.

Although the doctor also asked her such a question earlier, she was shocked by her pregnancy at that time. She had never thought about her plan on the baby.

However, the baby's father asked her, so she had to think about it sincerely.

Amber bit her bottom lip and entered the words with trembling fingers: I don't know.

Jared wasn't surprised by her answer.

In the past few days, she had never been to the hospital for a checkup. Hence, he knew she hadn't made up her mind yet.

Z: It's alright. Take your time. If you want to keep it, please go ahead. I'll raise the child with you in secret. If you don't, I'll compensate you.

Raise the child in secret?

Seeing his words, Amber squinted. "Okay, I'll think about it."

Z: Tell me after you've made up your mind.

Amber twitched her lips and didn't reply. She directly turned off her phone.

He mentioned raising the child in secret, so she knew he had no plan to recognize the baby openly.

In this case, he probably had been married or had a girlfriend or a fiancée. Or, his family didn't allow him to have any illegitimate child outside. Hence, he wanted to raise the child in secret without letting others know he was the baby's father.
