    Chapter 57 I Never Thought of Having This Child


    Iughed, avoiding his gaze, and casually said, “I’m not exactly in a hurry. Compared to you, I’m not


    nearly as brazen. Besides, I’m not the only one carrying your child. Moreover, I never intended to have


    this child in the first ce.”


    The temperature in the car suddenly dropped sharply, causing me to shiver involuntarily. I met Walter’s


    gloomy gaze and it took me a moment to realize how excessive my previous statement had been,


    causing my heart to skip a beat.


    He looked at me, his dark eyes filled with uncontroble gloom and anger. But he was well-mannered,


    even if he was angry, he would noty a hand on me, let alone hurt me.


    After a long silence, he finally spoke, “You never intended to have this child from the beginning?”


    Looking into his eyes, my heart suddenly skipped a beat. Meeting his gaze, I saw disappointment and


    an unclear gloom. For a moment, I even saw the pain in his eyes.


    Pain?


    For the child in my belly? Or…


    A sudden, uncontroble pang of pain shot through my heart. I knew that if I denied it, he would surely


    take me out for a good meal with a steady mood, even apany me to check whether this non-


    existent child was healthy, and even look forward to the arrival of this child with me.


    But I also knew that once it happened, the prospect of divorce between


    him and me would be indefinitely postponed. He would not give up his feelings for Ashley, nor would he


    abandon his responsibilities towards me and this child. The entanglement of the three of us would


    continue like a curse, indefinitely.


    I didn’t allow it, and Carley wouldn’t either.


    Looking at him, I took a deep breath and said, “Well, I never wanted to have this child for you, Walter. I


    told you, you could only choose one between me and Ashley’s child. Once the matter with the Conner


    Group is over, I will make an appointment at the hospital to have an abortion. You don’t need to worry


    about grandma. If you still cherish the two years we spent as husband and wife, then respect my


    choice. I know you have the ability to interfere in any of my affairs, but when ites to terminating a


    pregnancy, I have a million ways, and you should know that better than I do.”


    He probably didn’t expect me to speak so harshly, so he just stared at me, motionless, his eyes filled


    with a gloomy darkness. After a long while, he finally spoke, “Just because of one Ashley?”


    I pursed my lips, my gaze somewhat cold, “Isn’t one Ashley enough? Walter, do you think I should be


    magnanimous enough to


    amodate your lover and child, watching you three live happily? You’re overestimating me.”


    He fell silent, his thick brows revealing a cold and heavy demeanor, “My rtionship with her is merely


    one of gratitude. If you are bothered by Ashley’s presence, I can send her away.”


    I originally thought that, given his feelings for Ashley, he would definitely get angry and kick me out of


    the car. Between me and Ashley, he would never make a choice, after all, Ashley was thepulsory


    question.


    But his words left me momentarily speechless.

    Sent Ashley away?


    Though surprised, it was only for a moment. I quickly calmed down and said indifferently, “Whether you


    send her away or not, it’s your business, it has nothing to do with me.”


    He nced at me sideways, his dark eyes deep and seemingly helpless yet angry. After a long while,

    he started the car and said, “Tabatha, if you dare to hurt our child, I will make you wish you were dead.


    I mean what I say.”


    I pursed my lips and remained silent, unable to describe the feeling in my heart. This child was nothing


    but a figment of imagination, so what was there to be hurt about? Besides, Carley only gave me two


    months. Whether he truly cared about this child, or it was just an overflow of so-called paternal love, to


    me, it was all just a fleeting moment in the end.


    All the way, we were silent, the car stopped under the Conner Group building.


    Alexander was waiting downstairs. Seeing me get out of the car, he came up to greet me, his brows


    furrowed, “The person has escaped, the police came up empty-handed. I just got the news that


    Thomas also borrowed fifty million from the bank under the pretext of expanding new business with


    Bright Media. This money, he also took away.”


    On the way to find Abagail with Walter, I had already guessed that Thomas had run away. I wasn’t


    surprised about it, but I couldn’t help but frown at the thought of the fifty million he had taken.


    Thomas was really greedy, wasn’t he afraid of being choked to death by so much money?


    Looking at Alexander, I nodded slightly, took a breath and said, “I guessed it, what happened to the


    finance department of the Conner


    59.18%


    ww


    Group?”


    He pursed his lips, his brows still furrowed, “I just thought of Ryan’s issue too. Aftering back from


    Bright Media, I went to the finance department. Ryan took away all the funds he could. The situation in


    the Conner Group’s ount is not optimistic.”


    I couldn’t help but pinch the bridge of my nose due to the headache. The original thirty million dors


    was already difficult enough, but now with the money these two greedy individuals took away, I’m afraid


    the Conner Group’s funds might run out.
