“I’ve had two abortions, and my womb is damaged. I can understand if you want your ring back.”Coco’s gaze lowered after she finished speaking those words, unable to hold Lake’s gaze. The man was indeed stunned and asked,“Were the two abortions all for the scumbag?”Coco lifted her gaze, her teary eyes meeting his, as she caught him gulp down the wine in one go. It was clear that the man was hurting.“I’m afraid so. He was the only man in my life, and sadly, I can’t give you children.”There was a thick silence in the atmosphere, and the sound of the LED screen became annoying.Lake gulped down another glass of wine before he spoke. “Honestly, I love kids, so if I can’t have them with you, would it be okay for us to adopt?”Coco froze. She expected him to break up with her since he seemed like a man who loved children.Lake sure had a lot of love to give, and was he giving it all up just for her? Coco was now in doubt if his feelings were genuine or if he had ulterior motives.“Are y

It was obvious that Michelle was sending the gift to embarrass him. That way, he would not send her any gifts in the future.“Flowers? Which woman gives a man flowers?” Madison asked under her breath, understanding Michelle’s intention.Somehow, she wished that Michelle would soften a little, but she had never lost a child before, so how could she convince a person who had to be calm?Madison suddenly smiled, to both Ezrah and the delivery girl’s amazement. “That is the David Austin Juliet Rose.”It was one of the most expensive roses in the world, but Ezrah did not see the reason for the sudden amusement in her tone because of flowers when he was a man.“Of course, I know what kind of roses they are, but am I a woman?”Bitterness flung his heart as he realized that every time he took a step ahead, Michelle would do something to bring him two steps behind.“Should she send it back to the sender?” Madison asked as Ezrah stared at the flowers once more.He might not be a woman, but this

Coco stared helplessly into Michelle’s worried eyes, tempted to tell her everything that happened within the short time she left her office, but that would be more like shooting herself in the foot. As much as it pained her, she had to do this.“Michelle, I know you care, but please don’t. I have a lot of work to do.” Coco suddenly pushed Michelle away. Shock settled in Michelle’s eyes. Coco was never aloof to her in their decades of friendship.“Coco, what has come over you?”Coco could not hold her gaze as she spoke.“Nothing. I don’t want Lake, and I don’t like you being here because of him. Please go to your office. I will see you when I’m through with this proposal.”Michelle felt something amiss. This was not her best friend. Was someone blackmailing her? Michelle was determined to find out and decided not to persist.If someone was indeed blackmailing Coco, then Michelle forcing her to spill it would only endanger her life.Getting back to her office, Lake seriously asked, “D

Coco found his words ridiculous, completely unmoved by them. She clearly stated, “I will never be yours.”Her response infuriated River, and he raged, “Then you go down or you come with me.”Her heart shattered. Never in her life would she want to go anywhere with River. “To where?”“Wherever no one can find you again. You like sex, and so do I. That Lake guy can never be better than me in bed.”That was his only strength, but Coco knew better at this moment. She hadn’t been intimate with Lake, but even if she had, she decided not to make a comparison or dwell on the past with River.Lake gave her the chance for a fresh start, and she was going to roll with it.“Sex is nothing, River. There is more to a man than just pleasure.”River’s brows raised, thrown off by her comeback.“I see someone has been giving you advice. Tell me, has he been intimate with you?” Jealousy bubbled in his voice, shining in his eyes.“If he has, then the deal is off, and I’m sending this viral. Has he?” His

“What are you talking about? How did he get in here?” Lake asked seriously, wiping her tears with the thumb of his hand, but Coco choked on more tears.Michelle came around and comforted her. Seeing her torn dress, she was enraged. “I sent him to prison, and the case was still in court,” Michelle added her voice. “Are you alright? He hit you again, didn’t he? And he wanted to force himself on you?”Pain registered in Michelle’s eyes, and she was about to call the cops when Coco spoke through tears.“He videoed our intimate moments and wants to send it viral.”Lake ground his teeth so hard, it almost cracked. No wonder Coco was behaving strangely.However, his concern at the moment was in saving her dignity. It would be unwise for him to allow something like that to trend. Lake did not even want to see the video and remembered that his hacker sent another hacker’s number to Ezrah and called his hacker, but the number did not go through, so he called Ezrah. “Can you send me the conta
