Chapter 140
Chapter 140 I Will Never Marry You
In the end, hecked the courage to tell Pierre anything. Just recently, he read from a book that ryed
the hardships women went through during pregnancy. Not only did they have to go through a lot of pain
during pregnancy, but going intobor would put them in a life-and-death situation.
No matter the circumstances, Meredith was the one who gave life to him and his brother after going
through all the hardships. Therefore, he decided that as her son, he should at least try to defend her
even though she might have done something bad.
While humans had a choice in everything, they didn’t have a say in who their parents were. Although it
was frustrating, he knew to ept the cards that fate dealt him. With that, he steeled his resolve.
In the meantime, Meredith forced a smile as she approached Pierre. “How are your injuries, Pierre? I
was worried sick.”
“They’re alright.”
Silence descended after that. Such was their interaction all along. Although four years could be a long
time, they merely met each other a few times, and only ever exchanged a few lines.
“Let me take a look, please? I’m worried. Pierre, the wedding isn’t that important, but it’s more
important that you’re doing well.” Meredith wore a sorrowful expression. In effect, she was also a victim
in the sense that her wedding was no more despite the fact that she had been happily nning it.
Having failed when she was just one step away from reaching her goals didn’t feel good at all.
“We can hold the weddingter on after you’ve made a full recovery and when you have time.” Adding
that, she was in fact trying to secure from him a promise, as she did need to know his thoughts
regarding the failed wedding. She needed to know if they would hold the wedding on another date, or if
he had other ns.
Parting his lips, Pierre replied, “I will never marry you.”
What Pierre said came as a profound shock to her, so much so that she nearly toppled over while
backing away from him. Casting her a nce, he was aware that it was cruel of him to tell her that, but
that was just how he handled things.
“Y-You’re saying…” Stuttering, she failed to form a coherent sentence.
“I said I will never marry you.”
Meredith thought her ears were ying tricks on her as soon as she heard what he said. However, him
repeating himself served to shatter all delusions she had. Thrown off by the revtion, she remained
rooted to her spot, unable to recover from the shock. Dispirited, her head hung low as she attempted to
digest the truth.
Then, Pierre said, “I never thought of marrying you. Although we had children together, it was an
entirely different matter.”
Seemingly suddenly aware of her circumstances, she pounced on him to hold his arm, only to have him
put on a frown before sweeping a nce across her. His reaction made her heart tremble in fear. While
she knew him well enough to understand that he didn’t like physical contact with anybody, she didn’t let
go as she hadn’t the emotional capacity to care.

“Are you ming me for giving birth to the children without your consent? As I told you before, I only
came to realize that I was pregnant after a long time, so abortion was no longer an option. Pierre, I
didn’t do it on purpose! I was only eighteen then!” Meredith was wailing, tears streaming down her face.
He had to admit that she was a beauty through and through, as she looked beautiful even with a
sorrowful expression.
“I was ignorant, which was why… I know no amount of exnation will solve this, but you have to trust
that I didn’t do it on purpose! I really love you. I have always been in love with you. I fell for you hard
after our first meeting. I was a young girl back then, so it was love at first sight. I gathered all sorts of
info on you, I never allowed anybody to badmouth you, and my family told me I was crazy with love,
which I won’t deny. Because I am, in fact, crazily in love with you!”
