    Chapter 970


    Shawn tried to persuade her, but Bart stepped in, stemnly saying. “Look at her. She’s gone through hell


    and back and never once said a bad word about you. How much more do you want her to bear?”


    Shawn was lost for words.


    Bart said calmly, “I’ll hire the bestwyer to fight for her. We’ve decided to fight for custody of Jacques


    and Angel. You’d better get yourwyer ready


    At this, Shawn started to sweat bullets


    Bant’s situation was nowpletely different from before. Joining the Fletcher family was definitely a


    game–changer if he and Helen got divorced, he didn’t really fancy his chances of keeping their past


    secrets under wmps.


    That was a seriously big problem


    With that in mind, he didn’t give a hoot about anything else. He humed up to Helen and said softly, “I


    know I messed up Don’t be mad I was just acting on impulse. my mind was all over the ce”


    “You’ve been with me since you were seventeen, silently supporting me all these years. I didn’t even


    give you a proper wedding, and now I’ve put you through all this I really owe you”


    Helen’s eyes welled up with tears. Enough with the sweet talk. I know I’m old and cantpete with


    those young chicks in their twenties. This is my karma for wrecking someone’s family. I ept it. Let’s


    just end this mamage with some dignity, okay?


    Shawn sounded mournful “What are you talking about? I won’t divorce you. Angel, Jacques, you and


    the baby, no one is going anywhem. Just focus on your pregnancy and stop thinking about giving up


    this baby This babying into our lives is fate Whether it’s a boy or a girl, I’ll love it. As for Luci, I’ll


    give her some money for the operation and I won’t see her again


    Helen asked softly. You’re not just feeding me a line, are you?”


    Shawn said “Tligo to her now and arrange for the operation.”


    Helen snorted inwardly but on the outside she yed as a fragile woman. Just make sure you clear


    things up with her and don’t create a scène. It’ll tamish your image at the office. She’s just a fresh grad


    looking to climb the socialdder. Just give her what she wants


    Shawn nodded, holding her hand gently “You rest. I’ll sort this out.”


    Helen said. Try to handle it peacefully”


    As soon as Shawn left. Helen’s face turned cold. She said sterly, “Go and see if he’s trying to y me


    for a fool.”


    Bart nodded and followed Shawn out.


    Just as Shawn walked out of the room, he saw Luci on the phone in the corridor


    Seeing him, she froze, then tumed and walked away.


    Shawn quickly caught up and grabbed her arm. “Didn’t the doctor say you have to stay for more tests?


    Where are you off to?”


    Luci dodged his hand, her lips quivering it took her a moment to say, “Did she ask me to have an


    abortion?”

    Shawn was taken aback and couldn’t find words to respond


    Seeing his reaction, Luci’s expression turned sorrowful. After a few seconds, she whispered, “Can


    you wait a couple of days before I do it?”


    Shawn felt a pang of sympathy but thinking of Helen, he hardened his heart. The sooner, the better.”
