Connor's glare was chilling. Bill forced a dry laugh. 'Well, Gwyneth, looks like I underestimated you. You're quite the player yourself. No wonder you kept turning me down. First you snag Hawthorne, now you've got Connor on the hook. You're really something else.' He gave Gwyneth a sarcastic thumbs-up. 'You and I have nothing to do with each other,' Gwyneth said calmly. 'Who I'm with is none of your business.'
Connor had brought several men with him, who were waiting downstairs. He'd just been passing by when, by a stroke of luck, he spotted Gwyneth sitting alone by the window and felt an inexplicable pull to go up. He hadn't expected to find her being harassed. Seeing that his posturing was useless, Bill slunk away like a dog with its tail between its legs.
Unluckily for Gwyneth, Connor had overheard everything. He sat down in the seat Bill had just vacated. 'You're pregnant with Hawthorne's child?' he asked directly. Gwyneth looked at Connor, her expression awkward. But this was Max. Could she trust him? 'Yes,' she nodded softly. 'Two sacs. It might be twins.'
Connor stared at her, his expression freezing for a moment. Pregnant. And Hawthorne had cheated on her. A wave of irritation washed over him. He picked up the cup of tea in front of him and downed it in one gulp. Finally, he spoke. 'What are your plans?'
Gwyneth hesitated, unsure if she should tell Max about the doctor’s warning—that if she terminated this pregnancy, she might never be able to have children again. 'Have the baby, Gwyn,' Connor said suddenly, his tone decisive, as if he'd just made up his mind. '...?' 'If you're really going to divorce Hawthorne and you're afraid the baby won't have a father... marry me. My offer still stands.'
Connor didn't remember much, but he remembered being raised by his uncle. He had no memory of his own mother's face. His family had been broken, and he couldn't stand to see others suffer the same fate, especially not the woman who had captured his heart.

If Gwyn gets an abortion I am going to stop reading this story, I believe in pro-choice but come on. Why can't he just tell her what he is really doing with Patti instead of letting her think she is a mistress....
