Chapter 446
Thea''s lips shivered. She used to be a confident and tough woman in front of Harley.
However, it felt as though she had lost all her confidence ever since she had this child. Because of her
own mistake, she had now be inferior to others.
Now, she had a child in her belly, and she didn''t even who the father of the baby was.
The more she thought about it, the more tongue.tied she became.
She finally answered nonchntly after a long while, "He is very busy. He isn''t as good as you are,
Officer
Louis."
Thea soon hailed a taxi. She got into the car and left promptly.
Harley watched as the taxi slowly drove away. His mind was filled with her words. Why did she still
choose that b*stard over him when she clearly knew that he was the better choice?
She used to be so arrogant, yet she had be like this because of that b*stard.
He was so furious when he saw how yielding and soft-spoken she had be.
Harley couldn''t help but kick the trash can on the side of the road. Irritated, he scratched his hair and
got into his car. Finley was already there when Thea arrived.
They had met each other before at their family gathering. It was very dark then, hence, Thea did not
have a good look at him.
Now that the ce was brightly lit, she realized that he looked at least 40 years old. Even though he
groomed himself well, the wrinkles at the corner of his eyes still could not be hidden.
Finley was overjoyed the moment he saw Thea.
"Miss Stewart, it''s great to see you again. I had taken a fancy at you when I saw you at the gathering
the other time. You look even better now without makeup."
Thea smiled lightly and took a seat across him.
"If you don''t mind, may I know how old are you?"
Finley was stunned, 11Age is not a problem. There''s nothing to hide. I''m almost 40 years old, and
you''re approaching 30 years old too, right? It''s more or less the same. Besides, our families match well.
Isn''t that good?
Thea almost rolled her eyes. Almost 40 years old? He could well be 39, couldn''t he? Also, how was
she almost 30 years old? She was only 26 for goodness'' sake!
However, after thinking about the situation that she was in currently, Thea realized that she did not
have the right or privilege to mind his ws at the moment. If he could ept her child, she couldn''t
care less about anything else.
After all, the ability to give the child a father and a home seemed to be more important than anything
else for her at the moment.
Thea nodded. "You are right."
Finleyughed instantly and praised, "You''re a smartdy. I like smart people. Excuse me, please get
her a cup of coffee."
Thea frowned. This person was too self-centered. He had ordered something for her without even
asking for her opinion.
"No, just in water please!" Thea replied.
Finley was even more pleased with Thea. "That''s a saying that women are made of water. It seems
that you like drinking in water, Miss Steward. You must be a very pure girl," As he said this, he
stretched his arm out towards Thea.
Thea avoided his touch subconsciously,
replying, "By the way, I have something very
important to tell you."
Finley was stunned and he said, "Go ahead."
Thea let out a deep breath. She already knew what the oue would be. Finley probably would make
a big fuss over it, but there was no going back at this moment.
"Well, I had gotten pregnant identally. However, I n to keep the child. Would you be able to
ept me and my child?"
Finley was dumbfounded. He finallyughed after a long while.
"Miss Stewart, are you kidding me? I didn''t expect you to be humorous."
Thea shook her head and said, "No, I''m not kidding. I know that it''s shameless for me to tell you these.
However, I think that I should be honest now that things havee to this point. I won''t me you if
you refuse to ept me, because I am the one who made the mistake. I... "
Finley had already grabbed her wrist even before she could finish her sentence. The smile on his face
had turned into rage.
"D*mn it, I didn''t think that the Stewart family would actually dare to fool me by giving me a loose
woman like you. Do I look like someone who would take this kind of sh*t?"
He was quite strong. Thea was already very skinny. She felt as though her wrist was going to break
with his strop grip.
She cried in a panic, "Sir, I''m sorry. It''s my fault. I apologize. Our rtionship hasn''t been confirmed
and we''re not formally engaged yet. If you couldn''t ept it, I''ll leave immediately and I won''t tell
anyone else about this as well. Could you please let me go first?"
Finley was not willing to listen to her. He had always been proud of his upper-ss status, and he
thought that getting married to a Stewart would boost his status. However, he felt that he had been
fooled, and he didn''t expect that the Stewart family would arrange for a pregnant woman to marry him.
It was uneptable!
"What could your apology do? You''ve wasted my time here!"
Thea frowned. "What should I do topensate you then? Just tell me... " "Compensate? Could you
afford it? I must spread your scandal. Let''s go back to your home right now. I''m going to ask your father
if this is how the Stewart family educate their daughter!"
Thea was terrified. She knew that her father would ask her to terminate her pregnancy if he got to know

about this matter.
After all, that was how he had treated her mother in the past.
"I won''t go. Sir, please don''t do this. I''ve said that this is a personal matter between us. I will
Finley turned his face to her slender body instantly and asked, "Terms? How long has it been since you
got pregnant?"
Thea was stunned. She answered, "Two months ... "
"Two months? I don''t think that there''s any problem then. Since you like sleeping with men, why don''t
you sleep with me too then? Didn''t you ask me if I could ept your child? I can! As long as you serve
me well, I am willing to ept anything!"
Thea frowned. She asked, "What do you mean? Do you want me to be your mistress?"
"Why not? You''re already in this state anyway. Do you still expect to be my wife? Impossible! Anyway, I
don''t think that anyone would want to marry you anymore. You would be better off just being my
mistress."
With this, he stretched out his head toward Thea, saying, "Come on, give me a kiss."
Thea was indignant. Being someone''s mistress had always been a big no for her. Her mother had
ended up in such a miserable situation because she was someone''s mistress. Therefore, she couldn''t
possibly agree to such an arrangement.
"I refuse! Let me go," Thea warned. However, she couldn''t seem to break free from his grip. Before she
knew it, she had already pped him hard in the face.
Finley became frustrated, "B*tch, how dare you p me? I''m going to kill you!"
After that, he aimed his leg at Thea''s stomach.
