We Want Mommy Not You Daddy (Cedar) novel Chapter 160

Being held like this made me feel ridiculously small and vulnerable.

“Aren’t your keys right there in your hand?” He mercilessly exposed

my pathetic lie.

I couldn’t think of a response. After taking a deep breath, I tried

again. “Mr. Sterling, if you have something to say, we can talk

properly. Just… please let go of my collar.”

“Are you going to run again?”

“No, I won’t,” I promised, defeated.

He released me, his intense gaze studying me from head to toe. I noticed his eyes lingering on the clothes I wore–the ones he’d

provided.

His scrutiny made my scalp tingle with anxiety. I took a small step backward, but my heel twisted awkwardly. Though I caught my balance, the pharmacy bag slipped from my grasp and fell to the

ground.

The small box tumbled out on the ground.

Chapter 160

Under the harsh street light, the words “Emergency Contraceptive”

were perfectly, unmistakably visible.

I bent down quickly to retrieve it from the floor, awkwardly tucking it

behind my back as if he hadn’t already seen it. The emergency

contraceptive felt like it was burning through my palm.

Ridley’s expression darkened, his perfectly sculpted eyebrows drawing

together as his lips thinned with displeasure.

“What’s that? Afraid you might get pregnant?” His cool voice cut

through the air between us, making my heart skip nervously.

I bit my lip, trying to maintain some dignity. “Taking emergency

contraception after unprotected sex is just basic responsibility, Mr.

Sterling. Or did you want me to potentially have your child?”

Ridley’s mouth curved into that infuriating smirk of his. “I’ve never

met a woman so eager to avoid having her own child while

simultaneously playing mommy to someone else’s kids.”

His meaning couldn’t have been clearer. This was about Oliver. The

little boy had secretly stayed at my apartment for more than a month,

even calling me “Mommy,” Clearly, Ridley had strong feelings about

that arrangement.

Chapter 160

I wanted to explain everything, but when I met his cold gaze, the

words died in my throat. Oliver had deceived both of us, but how

could I throw a child under the bus? At the end of the day, he was just

a little boy desperate for maternal affection.

“Mr. Sterling, I need you to know – I have zero interest in becoming

the next Mrs. Sterling. Last night was just… a mistake. We’re both

adults, we can pretend it never happened. I’m not expecting anything

from you, and I won’t come knocking on your door with

complications. And I’m definitely not having your baby.”

I took a shaky breath. “If this makes things awkward, I can hand in my

resignation tomorrow.”

With each sentence, Ridley’s expression grew darker. Before I could

react, he stepped forward and snatched the pill box from my hand,

tossing it with perfect aim into a garbage can two yards away.

“What are you doing?!” I nearly shrieked, feeling my blood pressure

spike.

“You don’t need it,” he stated coldly, his mouth twisting into a

mocking smile.

I stared at him in fury. “What exactly are you saying? If I don’t take that pill, I could get pregnant. I’m not married–you think I want an
