Chapter 2
“What are you implying? You don’t trust me?”
Being exposed, Harlan glared at me.
“Bonnie is pitiful enough. Can’t you be more understanding? Stop making a fuss over trivial things like this.”
Trivial things?”
I looked up at him and said word by word, “Your sister–in–law is pregnant with your baby. Is that one of those trivial things?”
“W–When did you know?”
He parted his lips but did This book had been added on your bookshelfter a moment of silence, he squatted and held my hand.
“You know my parents have always wanted us to have a baby, can’t get pregnant.
and you
“I don’t wanna be with those women I’m not familiar with. Bonnic is the
safe choice.
“The baby will distract her from Hunter’s death and take the burden off our shoulders. It’s killing two birds with one stone, right?”
My stomach churned, and I shoved his hand away. Trying not to puke, I continued to ask, “Have you ever asked whether it’s what I want?”
“You were on board when everyone suggested I take care of Bonnie by pretending to be Hunter, right?”

He seemed confused, still thinking I was being unreasonable.
I looked at him with a half–smile.
“So, you ended up sleeping with her? When you were in bed with her, have you ever thought of Hunter, who’s dead already, and me, who’s waiting for you alone at home?”
Harlan pursed his lips.

“Cut it out. Where could you possibly go if you divorced me?”
Suddenly, his phone rang, shattering the tension in the air..
My gaze fell on the caller ID-“My Princess“.
He stole a glance at me and then immediately answered.

I wiped my tears away haphazardly and checked the confirmation for the abortion appointment on my phone again.
It was scheduled within three days.
In the next second, my phone dinged. It was a text from Harlan.
“Let’s take some time to calm down. We’ll talk about Bonnie after that.”
Then he transferred me 15,000 dollars.
Unlike in the past, I accepted the money right away.
He owed me more than 15,000 dollars.
I met him at a startup competition.
We decided on the research topic together and finally won first prize.
Since we kind of hit it off, we then worked together in other competitions.
Though neither of us ever said it out loud, we knew we both had feelings. for each other.
Someone noticed our frequent interaction.
One day, I was kidnapped when I was out.
Only then did I know he was the younger son of the Trivett family, the top–tier family.
