Female Novel
Chapter 101
However, she wondered if she should keep this child. A child related to Sean who would mostprobably bring trouble to the Lawson family, Robert, and even her biological mother.
Perhaps because she had lost her loved ones recently, Angeline had developed a different feelingtoward the baby in her womb. Deep down, she wanted to keep the child.
She wouldn't have hesitated to keep the baby if it wasn't Sean's child. But now, she was concernedabout many things.
"If Mr. Lawson Senior finds out, he'll never allow this child to be born. You should know that."
She lowered her eyes, avoiding Sean's gaze. She feared seeing the intense and fierce emotions inthe eyes of the man who had always been composed. She wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Angie, I wasn't asking for his opinion," he said before adjusting his posture and pinching her chinwith his icy fingers, forcing her to look up at him. "I'm asking… you."
As their eyes met, Angeline's heartbeat began to speed up. Without the barrier of his lenses, shecould clearly see the hurricane of emotions in his narrowed, cold eyes.
As if ants were crawling slowly up her spine, she could feel her breathing becoming irregular. Evenher fingers couldn't help but tremble.
She gripped his strong and buff wrist, but under his passionate gaze, she couldn't find the strengthto pull his hand away.
Her pinky finger touched the metal dial of his watch, and the soft ticking sound seemed to hit herheart, leaving her in a daze.
"Let's put everything aside and only talk about the child now. Angie… do you want to keep thisbaby?" Sean's rich voice was compelling.
"We could have a secret marriage, and I promise not to let Mr. Lawson Senior know about theexistence of this child. I also promise to protect your and the child's privacy, unless… you'd like tomake our marriage public."
"If, and I mean if…" Angeline said carefully, grabbing tightly his hand that was holding her chin."What if we get a divorce after the child is born? If I let you have the child or I don't allow you to getin contact with the child."
She didn't want her child to become an illegitimate child, so the most ideal way was to get marriedto Sean and then get a divorce.
Sean's pupils contracted. After a moment, he asked, "Don't you want the child to grow up in anormal family?"
"With our relationship, it's impossible for the child to grow up in a normal family from the moment it'sborn," said Angeline, exhaustion evident between her brows.
"In private, you're my grandfather's adopted son, which makes you my uncle. The public sees us asblood-related kin."
Apart from the fear of her birth mother's identity being exposed, this was the most conflicting aspectfor her.
"I'll respect all your decisions," said Sean as he gently touched her delicate cheek with one hand.novelbin
Without hesitation, he continued, "After the child is born, whether you choose to keep this going ordivorce, and whoever gets custody, I'll respect your wishes and cooperate to the fullest extent toprotect our child."
He sounded calm, rational, and mature. It was undeniable that his words had further broken downthe defenses in Angeline's heart.
She could sense his readiness to resolve all her worries as long as she was willing to have thischild, but she didn't know that Sean was actually lying.
"I'll think about it," she replied, lowering her head and delicate eyes. With her long eyelashescasting shadows on her overly fair cheek, she looked extremely obedient.
