I sneered, “So you really want to go through with this?”
He nodded seriously. “Yes.
“I want you to give me a chance. Even if you don’t divorce Phelps, I still want to be with you forever.”
I gently toyed with the lock

pulled the lock back to inspect it, disbelief spreading across his face.
He had forgotten. He hadn’t engraved my name on it back then.
I didn’t tell him that on the day he and Leonore decided to get married, I had walked the same path we once took together.
It was then that I discovered the secret of this lock.
At that time, I felt both sad and absurd, and my resolve to find new groom became even stronger.

With that, I turned and walked away.

Behind me, Kendrick’s cries became uncontrollable. His voice was hoarse and desperate.
But I didn’t care about his tears. I was only thinking about what Phelps would make me for dinner tonight.
He’d probably make me fish.
A few days ago, I mentioned I was craving it, and knowing his prideful nature, I figured he would secretly prepare it for me.
But in the end, I didn’t get to eat it. I threw up.
After the hospital checkup, I found out I was pregnant.
Phelps hugged me tightly, his face lighting up like a child, his smile wide with joy.
The doctor confirmed that the baby was healthy. Phelps and I held hands, ready to go home. However, we ran into some acquaintances in the
hallway.
There, Leonore was lying on the floor, begging Kendrick not to make her abort the baby.
But Kendrick remained cold and indifferent as he signed the abortion papers.
He looked at Leonore, his voice chilling. “Unwanted things should be gotten rid of as soon as possible. I don’t want this filthy bloodline in the
world.
“Leonore, you should have thought of this consequence when you told Alisha about us. I warned you before that I can give you everything, but I won’t marry you.
“This is your punishment. I’ll never forgive you.”
I coughed lightly.
Kendrick snapped his head around, his gaze falling on us. He froze for a moment.
When he saw the pregnancy test slip in my hands, his lips twitched, and he muttered a few words.

When he saw the pregnancy test slip in my hands, his lips twitched, and he muttered a few words.
“Congratulations. I really do.”
His eyes were devoid of emotion, neither sad nor happy. But they slowly began to redden.
Leonore finally broke down, sobbing uncontrollably.
Not long after, Leonore’s mother arrived. Even though she slammed her head into a wall in desperation, she still couldn’t stop Kendrick from forcing Leonore to terminate the pregnancy.
- go.
I didn’t know if Kendrick ever found peace with it. He hated Jeanne and Leonore so much, and I guessed he must have had a hard time letting
As for me, I had already let go.
No matter what had happened in the past, I only wanted to live in the present and cherish the person beside me.
Right now, all I wanted was to spend each day with Phelps, looking forward to the arrival of our baby,
