Soon, Josh Batton got into the car…
When he suddenly entered the car, Annabeth Cates could smell his faint Bleu De Chanel cologne.
It made her feel extremely comfortable…
Annabeth liked it best when he used this cologne. It had a sweet and fresh note, with a tinge of creaminess that made her feel safe.
Josh closed the car door before slowly looking at her face.
The moment their eyes met, she blushed.
Her heart was beating extremely fast…
It felt as if her heart would soon leap out of her chest.
Annabeth subconsciously clenched her fists. Although she looked at Josh, she couldn’t say a single word.
“Idiot…” Josh gently reached out and carefully ruffled her hair. There was a helpless look in his eyes.
Countless women admired Josh, but he was so gentle to her right now…
For a moment, Annabeth fell for him again.
“Sorry…” Annabeth said.
At this point, there was no use in trying to deny it…
She could only admit to it.
Annabeth knew that everything was bound to get out of control tonight.
Fate would continue to pull them apart…
“You practically glow from head to toe. What about me? I’m such an ordinary girl. Why should I get to be with someone like you?
“Besides, you don’t love me. Back when you said you would take up responsibility, it was only because we slept together…
“Recently, you’ve also said you would take up responsibility because I’ve gotten pregnant,” Annabeth explained carefully…
She started speaking after a long sigh. “I know you won’t be happy if you’re forced to be with someone you don’t love…
“Josh, you’re such an amazing, perfect, splendid human being. You deserve to have the happiest life possible… The woman you marry must be someone you genuinely love…
“A marriage between two people who genuinely love each other is the only one worth having…” Annabeth added.
“Is that why you tried to take it all on yourself? Is that why you lied to me about having a boyfriend?
“Annabeth, all you think about is my happiness. Have you ever thought about your happiness?” Josh asked.
