“I know the child is mine… You chose to keep it a secret only because you didn’t want to cause me any trouble…” Josh Batton said.Regardless of what Annabeth Cates said, he still believed in his assumptions.Based on the timeline, his inference wasn’t wrong at all.However, Annabeth still tried to change Josh’s mind. “Honestly, the child isn’t yours… Josh, stop overthinking, will you?”“Alright… If you say this child isn’t mine, would you dare do a test with me right now? With how advanced medical technology is now, we can already carry out a DNA test on the baby after twenty-five days of pregnancy, such as in your case…” Josh said.When Annabeth heard this, she panicked…To the best of her knowledge, this test couldn’t be done within twenty-five days.It would have to wait until the baby was much larger…Or did she remember wrongly?From Josh’s facial expression, it didn’t look like he was lying.Annabeth felt frantic…She subconsciously took in a breath of cold air. “This

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.

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

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

That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasn’t he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless.

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Stammering, she asked, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think? Do you honestly think I’d fall for your lies again and again?” Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didn’t leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Gray… Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain.

A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired

Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation. He’s fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance.
