When Elliot realized she was still adamant and foolish, he coldly said, “Lorelai, you are not qualified to give birth to my child at all.”
“But I want to give birth to your child; I won‘t ask for anything in return. I only want to have two children related to you by blood. I promise I will never trouble you again. I assure you, Elliot, that I will never get married again in my whole life. I will take excellent care of these two children.” Lorelai endeavored to make a favorable impression on the man.
“Lorelai, the person affected the most in this situation is my wife. You don‘t take her seriously, and she is the one whom I love the most. Do you think I will give you a chance to hurt my wife?” Angry and frustrated, he yelled, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
Lorelai was startled by his anger and she supported herself with the use of a couch and gently sat down. If she hadn‘t sat down, her legs would have been so weak that she would have collapsed to the ground otherwise.
“I‘m sorry I hurt Anastasia‘s feelings, but I love you too! From a young age, I had a crush on you. Perhaps I would have been the one to marry you if my father hadn‘t forbidden my return. You see, there was no Anastasia when we first met!” Lorelai remarked with red eyes as she had always felt that she was just unlucky, that she was born into the Presgrave Family and had a strict father. Otherwise, she would undoubtedly be able to pursue her happiness.
“I don‘t need your dirty love, so come home with me now.” Elliot firmly said, “If you don‘t return with me, you will never see your father again, I‘ll have the baby aborted, and your family will suffer a life worse than death.”
“Elliot, you can‘t treat my family that way; they‘re the Presgraves.” Lorelai was worried since she still had a younger brother, who was just eighteen and with a great future ahead of him.
“It‘s not about whether or not I lay my hand on them, but more about your cooperation today. If you cooperate, I will do what needs to be done.” Ass Elliot said in a low voice, the murderous purpose that could be seen in his eyes intensified at this very instant.
Lorelai took a deep breath.Was Elliot going to kill her here?
And what made her think that he would do something like that? Why did he have such a deep love for Anastasia?
“All right, I’ll come back with you.” Lorelai had given up hope since she was convinced that Elliot would abandon their children despite her efforts to give birth to them. Why should her children be condemned from the moment they were born?
She used to delude herself into thinking that Elliot had affection for her. Still, it appeared he was only interested in Anastasia and has no room in his heart for other women.
