She was startled for a mont. After the initial surprise, his gaze didn’t show the kind of joy she expected. On the contrary, it seed even colder, which made her heart even more anxious and tense.
"I... I wanted to tell you about this... and then... also wanted to tell you that what happened between us was a misunderstanding. I thought I couldn’t conceive, so... I avoided you..." she stamred, his gaze seemingly carrying an invisible pressure that made her take quite a while to finish her sentence.
He listened to her words and suddenly started to laugh, but the laughter was so cold, "Alice Conley, do you take for a three-year-old? A misunderstanding? You thought you couldn’t conceive? Then why did you find another boyfriend after breaking up with ? One is that Archibald guy, and the other is the one I saw in the restaurant before. You avoided , but sought them out, what does that an?"
Alice Conley’s face turned pale as she suddenly realized that he actually didn’t believe her. Back then, she dated Archibald because during a mixer, they talked about DINK families, and Archibald expressed his dislike for children, hoping to have a DINK family in the future. Since Archibald pursued her later, she thought about giving it a try. As for Daxton, there was nothing between them, and Daxton himself loved soone else.
"Archibald and I are..." She had just started her sentence when he interrupted her.
"I have no interest in knowing what exactly is going on between you and Archibald!" Dorian Howards said coldly, "Are you coming back to because you found out you’re pregnant? What do you want, do you want to accompany you for an abortion, or do you want to keep the baby and marry ?"
His words drained all the color from her face. "You... don’t believe it was a misunderstanding between us?" she asked with difficulty.
He sneered, "How do you expect to believe you? Back when Kyle and Mabel Quinn broke up, I told you that we should never have any misunderstandings between us. How did you agree back then? You said ’Alright.’ But now, you’re telling that our breakup was a misunderstanding? Alice Conley, which of your words is true? Which one is false?"
Her body swayed as if she was about to collapse. His heart softened involuntarily, and he wanted to get up and support her.
But imdiately, he reminded himself not to soften his heart again and not to let her lead him by the nose anymore.
"If I tell you now that everything I’m saying is true, would you be willing to believe it?" she took a deep breath, trying hard to stand firm and not to fear his cold gaze.
Because she hurt him too deeply before, he was now so cold towards her; as long as she explained everything clearly, as long as there were no more misunderstandings between them, everything would be over.
"Then let ask you, if you weren’t pregnant, would you still stand in front of like this today?" Dorian Howards asked in return.
Alice Conley was at a loss for words. If she weren’t pregnant, then she would surely still foolishly believe what the doctor told her three years ago and would certainly insist on cutting off all ties between him and her.
