‘You and I aren’t fated to be together. We shouldn’t force ourselves together for the sake of a child.
‘If you’re forced to be with me despite not loving me, how would you be happy?’ Josh Batton thought.
He slowly nodded and let out another long, helpless sigh. “Alright… As you wish,” he said as he looked at Annabeth Cates’ face gently.
Since Annabeth didn’t want this, he wouldn’t force her…
He chose to respect her decision.
“Annabeth, I’ll compensate you… I’m sorry for making you go through this,” Josh added.
However, Annabeth immediately shook her head. “I don’t want any compensation… You don’t have to feel sorry for me either. Just pretend nothing happened…”
“I’ve already found out. So how can I just pretend as if nothing has happened? I’ll take care of all the check-ups and surgical fees… From today on, you can go on a break… Just do as I say,” Josh said.
“I can take care of everything myself… You’re a top-notch celebrity. If word gets out, we’re both finished…” Annabeth said.
“Don’t worry. I’ll look for a doctor I’m familiar with… Everything will be done secretly. Annabeth, if you don’t stop nagging, I’ll change my mind…” Josh said.
How could she let Annabeth handle this kind of stuff all on her own?
The child was a product of both their actions.
Hence, this was a matter between the two of them.
How could he not play any part in this at all?
“Alright…” Annabeth nodded helplessly.
The most important thing right for Annabeth now was to get an abortion…
When she thought of the child, she subconsciously rubbed her lower abdomen. Her heart ached…
Beep, beep, beep—
“A lot of people are guessing you might be the child’s father. On top of that, everyone said you’re far too concerned about your assistant…
“Your fans are heartbroken…” Sharon added.
These things were all within Josh’s expectations. He didn’t feel anything in his heart at all.
“Hmm.” Josh pinched his forehead helplessly.
“Tell me the truth. Is that kid really yours?” Sharon sounded a little excited.
At the same time, Sharon was looking at the League of Legends client screen on her phone in a luxurious study as she held her phone…
There was a look of indescribable excitement and hopefulness on her face.
“No…” Josh said.
