Paige's gaze locked onto his eyes, and what she saw there chilled her to the bone. There was an unmistakable intent to kill, a fervor that was both intense and clear.
He hadn't considered her feelings, not for a second, and the plight of their child didn't seem to cross his mind either.
Feeling as if her brain was suffocating, the instinct to survive kicked in, and she began to struggle with all her might. "Jeffrey!"
It wasn't until her face turned an alarming shade of white that Jeffrey finally loosened his grip, his teeth clenched tightly.
"Don't think that by having a kid, you can get a hold on me. There's no way in hell I'd marry you. Dream on. If you know what's good for you, name your price and then get the heck out of Eldorria City. And don't you ever come back."
"Cough, cough, cough."
Air rushed back into Paige's lungs, and she coughed violently, unaccustomed to the sudden influx. Her legs gave way, and she began to slide to the ground.
"Think it over and text me," Jeffrey said curtly as he walked back to his car.
Paige called out to him in desperation, "Jeffrey! Where are you going?"
"To have dinner with my wife."
Paige could never have imagined that he would actually leave her stranded on the roadside.
They were far from downtown, in the outskirts where not even a taxi could be hailed.
"Jeffrey, I underestimated just how cold-hearted you could be."
When Karen called Jeffrey for the second time, he finally picked up. His voice was hoarse, as if he had been shouting.
"Mom and Dad are asking if you're coming home for dinner?"
"Of course. I'm already on my way," Jeffrey replied, his voice lightening with a chuckle. "Wait for me."
"Yeah. Did you send her packing?" Karen couldn't help but ask.
He knew exactly who 'her' referred to. "Yeah, don't get mad, I—"
"I'm not mad, really." Karen laughed. "I've gotten over your past. Don't worry, I won't make a fuss over your ex. But let's not let my parents find out. They're just starting to see you in a new light."

I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
