Cedron frowned imperceptibly, “When did I ever say I hated you?”
“Do you even need to say it,” Anna asked rhetorically, “The things you’ve done to me have physically proven to me that you just hate me.
Why else would you torture me like that, Cedron, you’re not trying to tell me that you’re treating me like that because you like me.”
Cedron was momentarily speechless.
Was it love?
It was!
But he didn’t know it at that time, and was too slow to do those things.
“I don’t accept that kind of love,” Anna’s eyes were ancient, “to me those are unforgivable.”
She hated Cedron, through and through!
“So,” Cedron lifted his thin lips bitterly, “if you hate me so much, why did you keep the baby?”
“Don’t worry, I’m not keeping this child because I want to use it as a tool or pawn for whatever I’m blackmailing you with after I give birth to it, it’s just because this child has half of my blood and genes in its bones as well.”
The child was Cedron’s and Anna’s.
Speaking of which, Anna shrugged again, her tone bland, “But there’s no use talking about it, now that the child is gone isn’t it, and it’s futile for us to discuss this anymore.”
“Useful!” Cedron’s tone steepened a few points, “Although this child is gone, we can still have another child.”
Hearing this, Anna’s face abruptly changed, “Cedron, what do you mean, you clearly said that after today, no matter what decision I make you will agree, are you trying to back out?”
After all the nice things he said before, he was really still trying to keep her captive and make her a tool for procreation!
“I’ll do what I say,” Cedron’s eyes looked even more pained, “but I’m betting, Anna, what if you’ll stay, so that we can have a new child.”
“There are many ways in the world to make me miserable, and the last one I want to choose is the one you’re talking about.” Anna replied.
Staying with Cedron was all she needed to be miserable!
Saying that, Anna picked up the bowl once again, “Hurry up and drink it, after you’re done take me to the suburbs, after I see what you’re going to show me, I’m leaving.”
Looking at Anna who took a big gulp of soup, Cedron’s eyes grew deeper and deeper, and his voice lowered to the extreme.
“Anna, I’m sorry, for that child, and for you.”
Anna’s hand on the bowl paused for a moment, then resumed gulping down the soup.
Eventually, Anna finished the bowl of soup, while Cedron didn’t move a single bite.
When he got up, his face went a few shades of white from the pain of the intense stomach pain that was religiously pulling on his nerves.
Still, he straightened his back immediately the instant Anna looked over.
“You wait lad,” the old woman called to Cedron, mysteriously pulling him aside, “come here, there’s something for you.”
Anna wasn’t interested and went ahead back to the car.
Five minutes later, Cedron got into the car as well, his face, which had been a bit pale, flushed a bit.
“Drive.” Cedron ordered.
“Mr. Navarro, why don’t I go pack that bowl of soup, you haven’t eaten anything, your body really can’t carry it.” Alexis persuaded.
Cedron’s face didn’t change, “I told you to drive, where’s the bullshit.”
“Miss Newman, help me persuade Mr. Navarro, this is definitely not going to work, you don’t know, in fact Mr. Navarro hasn’t eaten anything for a day and a night.” Alexis could only pin her gaze on Anna.
Anna sank her eyebrows, “Really, that’s great, there must be a lot of people in this world who want him dead, I’m the most desperate one.”
