Chapter 1211 I Saved You Before
In response to Colton's inquiry, Evelyn said, "We were together for quite a while, Collie. I only just realized that I'm pregnant today. I'm pregnant with your child."
At those words, a sudden gloom settled over his eyes. Despite losing his memories from the past two years, he was still confident that he was not a cheater. Nicole is my wife, and I'm still self-aware enough to know that the only reason anyone would do that is out of love. Hence, I can't possibly have gotten involved with other women once I've committed to my wife. At this thought, his expression turned grim as he declared emphatically, "That's impossible."
After hearing this, she made herself sound even more pitiful, so she sniffled and said weakly, "Collie, I know you don't want me because you have Nicole now. I can deal with the baby myself. I will give birth to it and take care of it by myself. I just thought that as the father, you have the right to know about the baby too."
When Colton heard Evelyn's pitiful tone, he could not help but frown. "There's no way the baby's mine," he said harshly.
Instead of insisting that the baby was his, she kept up her pity act and said, "Okay. Since you don't admit it, Collie, I won't force you. I just called to tell you this."
Nonetheless, he felt a great deal of unease after hearing this. He didn't think he would do something like that, but after hearing what she had said, he couldn't be so sure. Did I become a cheater after losing my memories? At this thought, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Meanwhile, she noticed the silence on the other end of the line and had a flash of insight as she continued to say, "Collie, I never thought about wanting anything. I know Nicole's your wife, so I never thought about trying to take her place. I just wanted to tell you about this. It's fine if you don't want to accept the baby. I won't tell anyone else about this."
Evelyn made herself appear considerate and empathetic, as everything she said or did made her appear pitiful and like the kindest person in the world. Alas, her true colors were far more vicious and terrifying.
On the other hand, Colton was at a loss for words after hearing this. The most terrifying aspect for a person who had lost their memories was that they could not recall what they had done before and had to rely on the word of others. While he was still struggling to believe her words, she started making herself out to be the innocent victim again.
However, he pursed his lips and sneered, "You wouldn't have called me if that's what you genuinely thought."
She stiffened when she heard his cold voice, and her eyes widened briefly in shock and confusion. Did he regain his memories already? Why else would he be this cold toward me?! Her entire body shivered at the thought, and her limbs went numb. Then, her voice trembled, but she did not dare to inquire out of fear that he would perceive something through her words. If he finds out I've been lying, it's game over for me.
Hence, Evelyn sniffled to mask her trembling voice and repeated her pitiful act. "I-I didn't think about that, Collie. I just felt a little lost after finding out about this. I'm worried and scared. I wanted to talk to someone, so I called and told you about this." She sniffled again and choked. "If you don't like it, I'll never say it again. Please don't hate me."
In the meantime, Colton was left feeling aggravated and repulsed due to her words. Still, he said nothing.
After realizing she wasn't getting any response, she played her ace in the hole and added pitifully, "Collie, I know you treat me so well because I saved you before when we were young."
