In fact, Carlos had always felt responsible for what happened. If he hadn't been so focused on completing the mission, the subsequent events would not have occurred.
After all, a girl's first time was incredibly precious.
So, for a long time, Carlos was particularly indulgent with Deidre. When she ran to him excitedly, saying she was pregnant with their child, he didn't deny it.
In Deidre's mind, she hadn't been close with any other man except during that mission, when they shared a room due to circumstances. Although she slept on the bed and he was on the floor, a lot could happen in one night. For instance, Carlos might have secretly climbed into her bed.
With Carlos' ambiguous silence, Deidre assumed that he was just shy about being caught.
And just like that, Deidre became even more attached to Carlos.
Several times, the usually wise Carlos asked Kashton and Elvis if he should take responsibility for his mistake and be with Deidre.
But then, when Carlos accompanied Deidre for a prenatal checkup, the doctor informed him that the baby's heartbeat could no longer be detected.
So, Carlos made a decision and had the doctor perform an abortion on Deidre.
He later told Deidre that he was in a crucial period of his career, making it inappropriate for him to marry or have children.
Deidre willingly went along with the abortion, believing they would have more children in the future.
Hence, Deidre always thought her first time was with Carlos and believed the child was theirs.
In reality, she didn't know who had taken her virginity or who the father of that child was.
"So, the child wasn't Carlos'! And this time, you've truly got on Carlos' last nerve," Kashton said, hands in his pockets.
If she didn't get on Carlos' last nerve, there was no way Carlos would disregard their past and treat Deidre so cruelly.
"This can't be true! It can't be true..." Deidre clutched her head and squatted in a corner, refusing to believe Kashton's words.
How could it be?
How could the baby not be Carlos'?
The belief that had sustained her for so long was now utterly shattered by reality.
At this time, Kashton's phone rang. After glancing at the name, he left one last remark and walked out. "There are still three hours left for the flight to Druobridge. Calm down first, and I'll come back later."
Once outside, Kashton answered the phone, his beautiful eyes lighting up as he heard the sweet voice on the other end, causing him to melt into a smitten state. "Tomorrow, sweetheart! Tomorrow, get yourself clean and wait for me in bed!" After pausing for a moment, he then said, "I miss you too. Come on, give me a kiss..."
Kashton kissed the phone, and Elvis happened to pass by. His cold eyes witnessed Kashton's disgusting display.
Carlos had two oddball friends. One of them was a promiscuous person who messed around frequently, and the other wouldn't interact with women. They were two extremes.
"Haha... Elvis, do you want me to introduce this girl to you? She's a real stunner! I haven't touched her yet..." Kashton put away his phone and grinned lewdly at Elvis.
Elvis looked indifferent and walked past Kashton.
Kashton threw an arm around Elvis' shoulder. "Elvis, you see, even Carlos has Mikayla now! If you don't find someone soon, aren't you afraid you'll harm yourself from holding it in for 31 years?"
Elvis' face remained icy. Kashton added, "Honestly, you overthink things. If both parties are willing, have some fun. You don't have to take responsibility for her! After it's over, just meet her needs, and she won't cling to you! Or are you impotent?"
Elvis glanced sideways at a certain part of Kashton's body, ignoring the horny man and striding away.
It was better to stay away from beasts, so it was better to stay away from Kashton.
