Melanie’s pretty face changed and turned pale. “Haven’t we already discussed this? I won’t get rid of the baby. If you really do not wish to admit that it’s yours, then I’ll announce to the public that it’s not your flesh and blood. After all, you’re the one who rather have yourself look like a fool whose wife cheated on him, than to claim your own flesh and blood!”
He turned his wheelchair towards her. “Why must you insist on keeping the child? I don’t want it now. We can talk about it later.”
Melanie insisted. “This is my first child, I must have it. You’re not the only one who gets to decide about this. Shouldn’t you ask for my opinion as well? Can you not be so selfish? This is a life, it’s our… Two people’s child, can you get rid of it just because you don’t want it?” As favonovel.com finished, favonovel.com voice choked and slightly trembled.
She had hoped that Alejandro would provide favonovel.com the warmth favonovel.com desired, even if it was just a little bit. However, favonovel.com really could not understand. How could favonovel.com be so heartless as to kill his own flesh and blood even if favonovel.com didn’t love it? She could accept his treatment toward her, but favonovel.com was utterly disappointed at his cruelty for his own child.
Alejandro’s gaze fell on favonovel.com flat belly. A little life was beating and growing within. He could not imagine that a child was about to be born, his child…
He knew that things wouldn’t end well if favonovel.com had a child with a woman favonovel.com did not love, just as how his mother did not love favonovel.com since birth in the past. If Tremont senior had loved his mother, things would probably not have gotten to that point, would they?
As favonovel.com thought of this, favonovel.com firmly decided. “We can do anything you want, as long as you get rid of the child. I will treat you as best as I can, I will fulfill all your married couple fantasies. As long as… you get an abortion.”
Melanie could not see through the complicated emotions Alejandro had behind his eyes. She was clearly disappointed with him, yet favonovel.com continued to lie to herself by holding onto that faint glimmer of hope. Was it really possible that favonovel.com did not want to have a child at that moment? They were still young, so it was not impossible to get pregnant again in the future. There was no need for them to keep arguing on the matter and ruin their relationship.
After battling with favonovel.com own thoughts, favonovel.com gave in and said, “Alright, I promise you. I will get an abortion. However… you must tell me now, when do you intend to have another baby? I don’t want to live on without a child. Our families need to have a successor eventually. You know that.”
As long as favonovel.com agreed to get rid of the child, Alejandro was willing to say any lie without a second thought. “Three years. It’s still too early now. Give me three years, alright?”
When favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com deliberately forced himself to speak gently and politely to increase his persuasiveness.
Melanie nodded. “Alright. I’m quite tired. I’ll go and rest now. I want you to accompany me when I go to the hospital tomorrow, is that alright?”
He reached out his hand and held onto hers. “Alright.”
That night, out by the Tremont estate…
Jackson stood in front of his car and had just finished smoking his cigarette. He waited for the smell to dissipate before taking a deep breath and walked in. He was afraid that Tiffany would notice the cigarette smell and purposely chewed on a piece of gum.
He knelt on the ground with a bouquet and some dessert that favonovel.com had bought when favonovel.com entered. “I was wrong, Tiffany. Let’s go home now.”
