Chapter 89
“So…, Shela asked, “Can’t we just come clean to the Ramirez family now and tell them I’m pregnant? You and Letitia can get a divorce ahead of schedule!
“Not now.”
“Why not?”
Elgin answered, “There are still some things that need to be sorted out.”
Like, for instance, the baby Letitia’s carrying. That one was definitely not a keeper.
If she actually gave birth, what would that make him? A man who got cheated!
Shela wanted to ask more, but was afraid of upsetting Elgin, so she just nodded, “Okay, I’ll wait for you with the baby.”
“Mhm.”
“Actually, waiting isn’t what scares me. Shela tentatively said. “I’m afraid you might fall for Letitia.” As saying so, she eyed Elgin’s expression closely
That was Shela’s biggest worry. Because that night, the person who had really been with Elgin was Letitia. The one truly carrying the Ramirez family bloodline was also Letitia.
She feared that Elgin and Letitia might develop some uncontrollable feelings as they spent time together.
“I could never fall for her. Elgin said curtly. “It’s absolutely impossible.”
But was that statement for Shela’s benefit, or a reassurance for his own heart?
After spending half an hour with Shela, Elgin finally left. He knew exactly what he had to do next.
His marriage with Letitia had just over a month left… Once the divorce agreement took effect, they wouldn’t live under the same roof or share a bed anymore.
Nor would there be anyone who could so easily ignite his raging temper.
Elgin stepped out of the hospital just as Phedra was getting out of her car
She was there to pick up some test results, but she hadn’t expected to run into Elgin! That’s perfect!
“Elgin?” Phedra put on a surprised face. What a coincidence, I’ve got something to talk to you about.”
Elgin kept walking, Talk.”
*Remember | brought Letitia in for a prenatal checkup last time? The results are all in now, Phedra said, all smiles. “As the father, you should take an interest”
He flatly refused, “I’m busy”
“That won’t do, you know Your grandpa would be heartbroken if he knew about your attitude.”
Phedra deliberately brought up Hawley to pressure him.
She was sure that the results would be a spectacle-she was 100% certain of it
Otherwise, Letitia wouldn’t have sent someone to steal the test tubes in the middle of the night to tamper with the authenticity of the results!
So, she wanted to invite Elgin to witness the reveal with her, to see the look on his face when he finds out the kid isn’t his! Before Elgin could respond, Phedra was already dragging him into the hospital, “Come on, when the doctor gives some advice, you should hear it-you’re going to be a dad after all
Once they reached the doctor’s office, Phedra’s smile stretched from ear to ear
The show was about to start!
‘I’m here for the results,” Phedra said. “Doctor, you’ve been working so hard these past few days, staying late and all.”
She had been so eager to know the results, constantly urging the doctor to speed things up, and today it was finally happening
“Don’t mention it, Phedra. Just a moment, I’ll get the folder”
“Supe
Elgin temained indifferent, hands in his trouser pockets.
Chapter 89
He was curious to see what Phedra was up to
She had previously made a big fuss about getting Letitia to the hospital for a checkup, and now she was dragging him here to get the results.
Phedra couldn’t sit still, her eyes following the doctor
Just then, Elgin’s phone rang.
