It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 199

"No. Not unless you promise me that you won't leave me again." Jessica eagerly pressed her face against Edward's back. She hadn't touched him for a long time. God knew how much she missed him. She was delighted when Edward didn't push her away.

"Jessica, don't push your luck. I don't want to beat a pregnant woman." A chill crept over Jessica at Edward's words. Instead of letting go of him, she held him tighter.

"Edward, you do care about the baby inside me, don't you?" Jessica deliberately filtered his words, and only paid attention to what she wanted to hear.

"Yes, I do. But not in the way that you think. I won't hurt any pregnant woman, because every child is to be cherished, even if it's unborn." Edward tried to peel her hands off his waist. He remembered Daisy told him to keep other women at arm's length.

"No. You're lying! You still love me; you just don't realize it!" Desperately, Jessica gripped his waist tighter. She finally found a chance to fight for herself, and she wouldn't let it slip through her fingers.

Edward gritted his teeth in fury. He didn't dare to push her, in fear of hurting the unborn baby. To break free from her grip, he suddenly turned around. Not expecting the movement, Jessica staggered backwards and almost fell to the ground. Edward grabbed her hand just in time.

"Jessica, listen to me. I have never loved you; it was just a game between the two of us. As for the baby, I'm pretty sure it's not mine. I don't want to see you again. If you dare show your face to me again, I'll personally show you how ruthless I can be." Edward gripped her shoulders tightly as he spoke coldly.

"No, that's not true! I've never been with anyone else! Edward, it's your child!" Jessica didn't understand why Edward was so certain that the baby wasn't his. Jessica suddenly felt frightened at the possibility.

"Have the baby and we'll see. If it's really my child, I'll be responsible for it, but not for you." Edward narrowed his eyes at her. 'You haven't been with anyone else? Then how did you get yourself pregnant? Why does she keep saying that it's mine? Could it be true and... No, it's impossible!' Edward shook his head, trying to get rid of the thoughts. He decided to go to the hospital to get some tests done.

"Fine, I'll prove it to you. Don't forget what you just said." Jessica found a glimmer of hope in his words. As long as he accepted that he was the father of the baby, she could find a way to stay by Edward's side. After all, she was his child's birth mother.

"Good luck with that. I wonder if you can still smile when you find out that it's not mine. I have much more important things to deal with than waste my time with you." With a sneer, Edward cast Jessica a cold look before leaving.

Jessica tottered towards the couch and sank into it. Edward's confidence shook her certainty. Was it really his? She wasn't sure anymore. Remembering what happened that night, she shook her head and reassured herself, 'There are no such things as coincidences.'

The summer night was beautiful. The starry sky reflected the cityscape lights. The gentle night breeze blew against the trees along the road, disturbing Edward's restless mind.
