"It's all your fault for not helping me cover up the lie."
"..." Charles White's worried gaze gradually cooled down, replaced by shock.
What did she just say?
Cover up the lie...
She wasn't really pregnant, it was just a lie?
Charles White's mind instantly went blank, turning from surprise to shock, leaving him a bit dazed.
They had never used protection when they were together.
He thought she should know that his last suggestion to get Chester Yale to agree to their marriage was to have a child.
So when he heard her say she was pregnant, he was genuinely thrilled and excited.
For the first time, he was so nervous he didn't know what to do.
He felt as if his heartbeat was out of control, even worried that holding her might squeeze the little baby in her belly.
She was so petite and not in good health, could she handle the hardships of pregnancy?
In just a few minutes, he had thought through everything.
But he couldn't have imagined that the pregnancy was fake.
