Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio) novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295

“Nah, it ain’t like that…” Hawthorne shook his head, “I’ve had the same thoughts, but I didn’t follow through, ‘cause I know how much an abortion can hurt a woman, I wouldn’t wanna harm you. I didn’t tell your dad I found you, I had someone shadowing you, and on the fourth day after you gave birth, I had the baby sent back to his dad.”

Hawthorne watched as Astrid’s clenched fist relaxed. He knew if he had confessed just now, Astrid’s punch wouldn’t have hesitated to land on his face. They still ended up here.

Astrid looked at Hawthorne, her gaze colder than ever, “How can you prove the person you’re talking about is real? Is he not just a figment of your imagination?”

“Astrid…” Hawthorne sighed lightly, his eyes complex, “Am I really that unworthy of your trust?”

“What do you think?” Astrid scoffed, “Hawthorne, after all the things you’ve done, how do you expect me to trust you?”

Her trust in him had already been shattered bit by bit.

Hawthorne’s hand gripping the wheelchair tightened, I’ve deleted the message. I have no proof, but I promise every word I said today is true.”
