After a pause, my voice sounded piercingly cold when I said, "Mr. Roberts, do you know what it means to be appropriate? What should I do with a man who has insulted me so much? Should I flatter him sensually? Or should I throw myself at him like a dog? Mr. Roberts, I'm sure you've never been willing to say such harsh words to Andrea, have you?"
He stared at me with his black eyes.
The pinch made my jaw ache. I endured it and continued, "Hendrix, do you think that as long as I lie in bed with you, it means that I can be insulted and abused by you? I'm human too, and I have no intentions to self- harm. I couldn't love a man who respected me and loved me, but I somehow found one that keeps torturing me, who couldn't even protect our child, and who wouldn't even let me go!"
I looked at his cold and thin lips tightly pressed together. His breathing deepened. After a long pause, he let go of me and ended the call.
Then, he reached for the car keys and left.
He has his pride, but I didn't?
Everyone was the same!
The sound of the engine roared from the yard, followed by the sound of the car leaving.
I couldn't help but let out a sigh. I sat on the couch, body limp from the fatigue and helplessness. This whole thing was messed up.
I just had to endure it. I'm didn't come back here to quarrel with him. If I push him away, Andrea will definitely benefit from it!
It was still early, so I couldn't fall asleep. I ended up calling Aaron, asked for his address, and went straight there.
Paramount Hall.
I've been here several times. So, after asking Aaron for his room number, I went straight in.
I initially thought that he had an appointment with others here, but he sat alone, drinking and eating by himself.
Seeing me entering, he patted the seat next to him and said, "Come in, have a seat!"
I pursed my lips, sat down and turned the karaoke system off. Then, I looked at him and asked, "Drinking wine to relieve some sorrows?"
He pursed his lips and took a few sips of wine. "So, you don't think I have anything else to offer except for my good looks?"
I...
"Not at all!" Never had I met such a shameless person.
He exhaled and said, "I've sent her some photos. Andrea is expected to deliver end of the year. What are you going to do?"
This question caught me by surprise. | couldn't help but frown, "What should I do?"
He may have thought that I was a little crazy, so he looked at me like an idiot and said, "You don't intend to let that baby die with her?"
I was quiet. I've said harsh words before, but if I really wanted to do something to an unborn child, then I was no different than Valerie.
Seeing that I hesitated, he sighed, "Try not to be soft- hearted. It's easy for you to take revenge on Andrea, but it'll be difficult dealing with Valerie. That woman has been tough all these years and has a heart of stone."
