However, she wondered if she should keep this child. A child related to Sean who would most probably bring trouble to the Lawson family, Robert, and even her biological mother.
Perhaps because she had lost her loved ones recently, Angeline had developed a different feeling toward the baby in her womb. Deep down, she wanted to keep the child.
She wouldn't have hesitated to keep the baby if it wasn't Sean's child. But now, she was concerned about many things.
"If Mr. Lawson Senior finds out, he'll never allow this child to be born. You should know that."
She lowered her eyes, avoiding Sean's gaze. She feared seeing the intense and fierce emotions in the eyes of the man who had always been composed. She wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Angie, I wasn't asking for his opinion," he said before adjusting his posture and pinching her chin with his icy fingers, forcing her to look up at him. "I'm asking… you."
As their eyes met, Angeline's heartbeat began to speed up. Without the barrier of his lenses, she could clearly see the hurricane of emotions in his narrowed, cold eyes.
As if ants were crawling slowly up her spine, she could feel her breathing becoming irregular. Even her fingers couldn't help but tremble.
She gripped his strong and buff wrist, but under his passionate gaze, she couldn't find the strength to pull his hand away.
Her pinky finger touched the metal dial of his watch, and the soft ticking sound seemed to hit her heart, leaving her in a daze.
"Let's put everything aside and only talk about the child now. Angie… do you want to keep this baby?" Sean's rich voice was compelling.
