The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1963

Sellers looked at Aurora's stubborn expression and suddenly asked, "Do you still want to keep fighting this battle?"

She offered a half-smile. "Sellers, they did this to you. Are you just going to let it go? Are you just going to accept your fate after what happened?"

A strange smile touched his lips. "Even now, can't you see that Stella's power is growing while ours is shrinking? What can you possibly do against her and Joshua right now? Even if this baby is McCoy's, do you think you can control him with a child? Aurora, I always thought you were smart and knew how to read the room. But looking at you now, you're still too naive. Even when you had the power, you couldn't do anything to them. Do you really think relying on someone else will give you the upper hand?"

"Whether I can win or not, I shouldn't give up so easily," she retorted. "You were the head of the family once. You should understand certain truths better than I do."

Aurora gently placed a hand over her stomach. "I don't know what Joshua and Stella said to make you so afraid of them. But no matter what happens, I won't just get rid of this baby. It's fine if you don't want revenge. But as long as I'm still breathing, I will never back down."

With a long, hard look at him, she turned and left.

Stepping out of the hospital room, she ran into Sherman Burton, who had been eavesdropping by the door.

Sherman opened his mouth to speak, but Aurora simply gave him a curt nod and walked away without looking back.

He watched her leave, glanced at the hospital room, and finally walked inside.

He looked inexplicably anxious. "Why... why would you tell her to get rid of the baby?"

Sellers remained expressionless. "Whether that child is McCoy's or mine, Joshua will use it against us. He might even use it to spark a war between the Burton and Chapman families. That's why the baby has to go, regardless of whose it is."
