Chapter 1619


    If Annabeth Cates had known this day woulde, 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 beening 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 ims 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 nning 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 to cause you any trouble...


    "Since I''m capable of sorting this mess out on my own, there''s no reason for me to drag you down with me, too..." Annabeth exined carefully. Now that his assumptions were verified, Josh began feeling mixed emotions.


    He looked earnestly at Annabeth. "I thought about this long and hard earlier... I''ve decided. Annabeth, if you''re reluctant to get an abortion, I''m willing to take up responsibility for the both of you...


    "We can get married right away... As for your boyfriend, I canpensate him," Josh added.


    Although this wasn''t fair for Annabeth''s boyfriend, and Josh felt sorry for that man, this was their only way if Annabeth decided to keep the child... Now, everything had changed drastically, all because of the blunder on that evening...


    When Annabeth heard this, she felt extremely touched...


    For an instant, she nearly felt persuaded.


    However, Annabeth quickly recollected herself and shook her head. "No... I love my boyfriend. I''ve told you about this before..."


    When Josh heard this, his frown deepened.


    After taking a deep breath, he slowly shifted his gaze to Annabeth''s lower abdomen...


    The child belonged to Josh.


    If the delivery were sessful, this child would be able to stumble toward Josh and call him Daddy in a few years...


    Soon, Josh imagined a plump little


    girl learning how to walk as she stumbled toward him. In his mind, she hugged his leg tightly and

    soulful eyes while she called him ''daddy''...


    After thinking about that scene and realizing that a newborn''s life was about to be taken away, his heart ached painfully.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

    Despite how reluctant he felt...


    The decision to give birth and be a mother was always a woman''s decision.


    After all, women were the ones who would have to go through pregnancy and birth-giving.


    This had always been the way Josh thought.


    It was also something that his parents had taught him since he was a child.


    Blood ties and familial rtionships were truly mysterious.


    Although Josh hadn''t even met his child, his emotions were already easily stirred by the unborn child. "Have you made up your mind?" Josh asked.


    Annabeth nodded. "Yes. I want to be
