“shelmaine, you don’t need to be so aggressive.” Samuel’s eyelids twitched a few times as he turned to look at Shelmaine
She turned to look at him as well. Their gazes met, unyielding. With a stiff expression, he said coldly, “I know you’re upset, but it isn’t necessary.”
Not necessary?

“Do you expect me to go back to how things were? Should I pretend we never divorced, that Natasha never came to me, and you never lied to me? Do you expect me to just get along with you like nothing happened?” she retorted.
All the things Shelmaine didn’t say during their divorce suddenly came pouring out. But saying them now was meaningless. She wasn’t looking for an explanation from Samuel. It was too late for that. She was just angry that he was still dragging her into this mess.
Samuel’s expression was heavy. “It’s all in the past now. None of that matters to you anymore. Shelmaine, you’re pregnant. No matter what, I’m still the father of the child. I can’t Just walk away.”
“You are the father, but you didn’t want this. You never planned on having a child. This child was an accident. I never wanted you to take responsibility,” shelmaine said
Her emotions, which had been building up for days, finally broke through. Her eyes stung as her vision was blurred with tears. “Why can’t you just leave me alone? Why can’t you let go of me?”
She wasn’t someone who cried easily, but the buildup of emotions had pushed her to the edge. She clenched the hem of her dress tightly. Before she knew it, tears started rolling down her cheeks.
Although she felt embarrassed, she couldn’t stop it. So, she turned away to hide her tears. Once she started crying, she could no longer control her emotions. The car was filled with the sound of her sobs. Even her crying was subdued.
h. As he felt irritated, he tugged at his collar and rolled up his sleeves.
Samuel remained silent. Listening to her cry felt like a knife slicing through his heart, inch by inch. As
The urge to smoke hit him hard, but he held back because of her.
When Samuel decided to divorce Shelmaine, he had thought it through. Once divorced, they would draw a clear line and never cross paths again. But he didn’t expect her pregnancy or decision to keep the child.
He had suggested to her not keep the child, but he couldn’t persuade her.
She had her own thoughts, so he decided to respect her choice.
When Samuel found out Julien was interested in Shelmaine, he pretended not to care at first. However, it didn’t take long before he said things he himself found excessive A while later, his phone rang again. He saw that it was a a call from Julien. He rejected the call immediately.
Meanwhile, Shelmaine was still crying. Her sobs were soft and restrained. He handed her a tissue. With a gentle voice, he said, “Stop crying. Crying too much isn’t good for you.” shelmaine ignored him and continued to cry. Her face was wet with tears, which soaked into her collar. She didn’t care, though. She was just overwhelmed with sadness as her heart ached painfully
Samuel had no choice but to drive her to a nearby hotel, hoping that a change of environment would help her calm down. He couldn’t stand seeing her cry. When she cried, it drove him Insane.
When he was registering for a room, she tried to walk may, but he held her by the waist and told the receptionist, “Please hurry. She isn’t feeling well and needs to rest.
The receptionist thought that they were just a married couple, who were in an argument. Besides, she noticed that the woman was pregnant, so she sped up the check–in process and handed them the room card.
As Samuel led Shelmaine to the elevator, the receptionist’s gaze remained fixated on them. Then, she said to her colleague, “Look. All the good–looking ones marry young,”
Once they were inside the room, Samuel closed the door and pulled Shelmaine to the bed, making her sit down. He crouched in front of her and wiped away her tears with a tissue. She lowered her head, trying to avoid his touch. “Don’t touch me”
“If you continue to cry, I won’t mind doing anything to you” As long as he could make her stop crying, he was willing to do anything.
He deliberately spoke in a harsh tone, “You’re five months along. It wouldn’t be a problem to have something happen.”
Sheimaine was taken aback. She didn’t expect him to say such a thing. Drops of tears fell onto her knees, soaking into the fabric.
In the next second, she bit her lip and gripped the hem of her dress tightly, staying silent.
Seeing that she was still crying, Samuel cupped her face in his hands and kissed her. Her lips tasted bitter and salty from her tears.
He didn’t know why, but the more he kissed her, the more stuffy he felt. It was as if her emotions were seeping into hum
The kiss pulled Shelmaine back to reality. When she realized Samuel was serious, she immediately tried to break free from him. Nonetheless, he grabbed her wrists and refused to let go of her. As she wasn’t strong enough to fight him off, he easily held her in place.
Sherleached her teeth and refined to let him in.
Meanwhile, he was patient as he traced the outline of her lips. After al
