If Annabeth Cates had known this day would come, she would’ve found someone to act as her boyfriend in advance.“My boyfriend must be asleep now. Let’s do it tomorrow,” Annabeth said.“You’ve been coming up with all sorts of reasons to stall me. This only proves that you’re lying… Annabeth, you can’t hide the truth from me…” Josh Batton said.The way Annabeth tried to deny Josh’s claims multiple times made him feel even more certain about his assumptions…Meanwhile, Annabeth also knew that there was no way she could hide the truth any longer.Josh was way too smart.He was the kind of man who could see through everything once he’d found a single loophole.Annabeth immediately let out a long, helpless sigh. “Fine, this child is indeed yours. I was planning on getting an abortion behind your back… That’s because I want to be with my boyfriend…“If my boyfriend discovers that I’m pregnant with someone else’s child, it’s over for us… I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t want
‘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 sa
Since they had already decided on an abortion, there was no reason for Josh Batton to tell his mother the truth.If Josh told the truth, Sharon Lindt would certainly feel sad about losing the child.“It isn’t? D*mn. I was all excited for nothing…” Sharon said.“Why aren’t you asleep yet? It’s already very late. Are you staying up to play games again?” Josh changed the topic immediately. He looked down at his classy watch…It was already one o’clock in the morning…“Yeah. My rank kept falling today. I’m not in the mood to sleep at all,” Sharon said.“I can’t believe it… Are you still a child? How could you be losing sleep over your rankings in a game?” Josh’s tone sounded helpless yet affectionate.“Sigh… I don’t want to either, but I can’t help it. Do you have any idea how many dumb people I met tonight? What’s wrong with the system? It keeps pairing me with stupid teammates,” Sharon lamented.“I’ve got to give it to you. Hurry up and go to bed. Xyla and I will help you get you
Josh Batton was very close to Annabeth Cates…Right then, she could see everything on his phone.When Annabeth saw those comments, she immediately began to worry. “Josh… Clarify things immediately. Otherwise, there will be all sorts of rumors… Letting things get out of hand won’t do your career any good.”Josh frowned deeply and looked earnestly at Annabeth’s face. “Are you sure about not wanting the child and being with me?” he asked.Annabeth’s heart felt numb again after hearing this…She silently tucked her hands under the duvet before clenching them tightly. “Yes, I’m very certain…”“Alright…”Only then did Josh frown and started writing a Weibo post. “Don’t make guesses… It’s nothing like that.”Josh felt troubled.He was just about to publish it, but his hand slipped. So he exited from Weibo.When Josh saw this, he logged into Weibo again.As soon as he got in, he saw that X Entertainment’s official Weibo account had already made an announcement in response to the rum
After eating the nutritious breakfast Josh Batton had prepared for her, Annabeth Cates walked down the stairs while rubbing her lower abdomen…She decided to go on a stroll somewhere…Without realizing it, she ended up in the hospital’s garden.After entering the garden, Annabeth saw a woman in her early thirties pushing a small boy, who seemed to be around three or four, on the swing from afar…The woman had her head lowered while she pushed the child, and the child kept laughing loudly.The heart-warming scene immediately made Annabeth’s heart ache.Annabeth thought about how this might have been a moment shared between her and her child if he or she survived.Unfortunately…This child couldn’t be brought into this world.Annabeth’s eyes immediately turned red when she thought of this.“I’m sorry…” Annabeth looked down and murmured as she gently rubbed her lower abdomen.The heart-warming moment between the mother and son, who were not far away, continued…The happier the
“Ms. Cates, there’s a ninety-nine percent rate of excessive bleeding if you choose to proceed with the abortion…“And there’s only one percent of you getting through it safely…“Besides, there’s no other way. God would tell you the same thing.“Do you get what I’m saying?” Jason Collins enunciated each word carefully.“I’ve been the head of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department for a very long time. To be honest, I’ve encountered countless pregnant women. However… This is the first time I’ve met someone like you whose baby is in such a unique position…“If you don’t believe me, you can go to other hospitals and get it checked… But, if you believe me, you have to carry on with the pregnancy and give birth to this child…” Jason added.His words immediately made Annabeth Cates feel hopeless.Jason was the head of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, and he was also a famous gynecologist in the country.His words were certainly believable.Now, Annabeth was left with a sin
“Hey… It’s already very late. Why are you still calling me? Did you only get home after you were out drinking again?” Annabeth Cates asked.“Annabeth, I’m telling you. I bumped into my true love at the club tonight… He’s a gift from heaven… So handsome…” Paula Whittaker sounded extremely excited…Despite being some distance away, Josh Batton could still overhear the conversation clearly.“We’re in love… Are you envious? Say, you’ve been here in Atlantis for so long… Why haven’t you met anyone? Aren’t you embarrassed?” Paula asked.Annabeth’s heart clenched tightly when she heard this. She seemed dumbfounded.Annabeth didn’t expect Paula to bring this up suddenly…She also didn’t think her lie would be exposed so soon.Josh now paid attention to the phone conversation.He immediately frowned a little as he looked thoughtfully at Annabeth’s face.There was a curious look in his eyes…Annabeth clearly said she had a boyfriend.Why did her friend say that she didn’t have a boyf
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 cont
