Chapter 172

"Who allowed you to make such suggestions to my mother?" Blake stopped in his tracks to peer down at Giselle.

Startled, Giselle's eyes immediately welled up with tears. "I didn't say anything, Blake. Anna brought it up herself."

"Of course she did. She thinks your baby is mine."

Giselle froze before whispering, "Keep it down." She didn't want Annalise to find out.

But Blake seemed indifferent. "You know what our agreement was."

Giselle tearfully pleaded, "You promised you'd fulfill my wish no matter what. And right now, my biggest wish is to marry you."

"So, what if I marry you? You know I don't love you." Blake's expression remained stoic.

"I know that, but I still love you." Giselle's voice was soft. "I don't want you to be sad, so I did my best to take care of Anna. I just wanted to cheer her up."

Blake nearly scoffed. "I appreciate you taking care of my mother. But you only did it for yourself. You buttered her up because you wanted her to like you, not to make me happy.
