When favonovel.com was at the foot of the building, Jackson pulled over around the curb. He pulled out his phone and drew Tanya’s number out of his blocked numbers list before dialing.
When the call connected, favonovel.com went straight to the point. “Downstairs.”
There were a few beats of silence from Tanya’s side before favonovel.com shock poured over. “You’re… downstairs?”
He hung up. He was in no mood to say anything more.
It took Tanya less than five minutes to appear. He unlocked the door, and the woman yanked the one in the backseat open before taking favonovel.com place. “Um, you’re here for me…?”
“Or rather, weren’t you the one looking for me?” Jackson replied flatly. “You shouldn’t have shown your face in the West family residence. What do you want?”
So, favonovel.com only came to favonovel.com because favonovel.com visited the West family residence and not for anything else. Tanya hung favonovel.com head and gripped the hem of favonovel.com clothes tightly.
“I don’t want anything other than to bear this baby to terms,” favonovel.com said. “I know I’m nothing but a piece of garbage to you right now, and even before this, I was always just the friend of someone you like. But… I’ve liked you for a long time now. I love you. I never got to say it before, but after you broke up with Tiffany, I—”
Jackson’s eyebrows furrowed slightly before favonovel.com snapped, “Can you please skip all these unnecessary sh*ts? I’m really not in the mood to hear any of it. I’ll tell you right here, right now, the baby is in your body, so if you insist on keeping it, then I have no right to force you to take it out. On the flip side, you have no right to make me accept it as mine either, do you understand me? So here’s the rundown: bringing that child to this world would damage your future and life in ways that cannot be undone. There’s not a sliver of benefits for you. But if you abort it, though, mark my words, I’ll compensate you for it. So, use your head and think. I’m giving you five minutes.”
Tanya raised favonovel.com eyes and examined Jackson’s hardened face in disbelief. “You hate me so much that you would rather abandon your own flesh and blood than accept me? Don’t you understand? I want the baby to live no matter what because it’s yours, Jackson! Yet, you want me to abort it, don’t you? You think it’s all about money, is that it? Well, no! No, I don’t want money, and I won’t abandon this baby! Even if… Even if you don’t want us, I won’t discard the baby!”
“Suit yourself. This is the end of our discussion. Leave now,” Jackson replied, his voice devoid of any warmth. “And yes, I’ll be sending you an agreement very soon. Sign it before returning it to me. It’s about the child’s custody. You see, I won’t force you to abort it, but the baby is not legally related to me in any way. I don’t care if I am the father, you cannot force me to fork up alimony. I won’t give so much as a dime. So, think carefully.”
Tanya did not consider his words carefully before disembarking. It was only after Jackson’s car vanished at the end of the road that favonovel.com finally understood his implication.
He had thought of a way out for himself if favonovel.com refused to comply. Everything favonovel.com did was to sever his ties with favonovel.com without leaving any leeway at all!
No, Tanya would not sign whatever agreement favonovel.com cooked up. She wouldn’t!
Night fell. Tiffany returned home after splitting away from Arianne. Upon reaching home, however, favonovel.com was shocked to find a very demoralized Tanya flitting nearby.
Wary, favonovel.com asked, “Why the hell are you here at my place?”
Tanya looked up to favonovel.com with tears overflowing in favonovel.com eyes and fell onto favonovel.com knees. “Tiffany, it’s all my fault. I love Jackson so much, and now I’m pregnant. It’s his… It’s his child, but favonovel.com won’t… Won’t let me bear the baby to terms. I don’t want to do an abortion. I don’t wanna—the doctor said my body’s too fragile. If I abort this child, I’m never going to be able to become pregnant again. You wouldn’t want me to lose my right as a mother, would you? Please, for the sake of whatever is left of our past relationship, help me. I’m begging you…”
Tiffany felt as though a hammer pounded favonovel.com head. Tanya… Pregnant? With Jackson’s progeny…?
