Chapter 241
“Finn, are you saying over a month ago p>
“Yes,” Finnian replied flatly, nodding. “Do you remember p>
Liliana bit her lip hard. Of course, she remembered.
Just over a month ago, she’d walked up to Finnian with a pregnancy test in hand, telling him she was expecting.
Back then, Finnian had told her his grandmother had passed away, that he and Amara would be getting a divorce soon, but he wouldn’t marry again, nor even
date anyone.
Then he pulled out a card from his desk and handed it to her, suggesting she terminate the pregnancy.
She had burst into tears right there, reminding him how she’d saved his life on the construction site years ago. She poured her heart out, saying she regretted breaking up with him and had been waiting for him all these years. She confessed she’d gone through so much and still had strong feelings for him.
Playing the emotional card and shedding a river of tears, she eventually got Finnian to agree to let her keep the baby. But that was it just the baby. No promises beyond that.
Liliana clenched her fists, feeling a huge wave of panic wash over her.
Finnian looked at her belly in silence. His reasoning back then was straightforward. First, Liliana was desperate to keep the baby, constantly reminding him of how she saved his life and the complications that followed.
Second, he figured since he wasn’t planning to marry, having a child might not be so bad-a bit of emotional solace. So, he agreed. But he hadn’t foreseen things turning out like this.
Liliana reached for his hand, her usual confident demeanor now replaced with vulnerability.
“Finn, can’t we be together p>
Finnian remained composed. “Liliana, we’ve discussed this before p>
He slowly withdrew his hand from hers. Liliana was struggling inside. Finnian had made it clear many times that he didn’t want to marry, which was the reason for their breakup in the first place.
After they reconnected and the baby news came, Finnian’s stance didn’t change he wouldn’t marry.
However, she once asked if they could live together to raise the child in a good environment. At that time Finnian had agreed. But that was all-just living together to care for the child. No other promises were made.
Liliana felt both hurt and anxious, but she knew acting up wouldn’t help. It would only displease him. She tugged a smile. “Finn, I was just curious, didn’t mean
anything else. Are you staying here tonight p>
“I’ll stay here. You can head back with Hogan p>
Finnian pulled out his phone to call Hogan, who had been waiting downstairs all along, and told Liliana to go down.
The room fell silent, and Finnian gazed out the window, lost in thought. He understood Liliana’s predicament and was grateful for her saving his life back then.
Given he wasn’t going to marry again, he didn’t mind much when Liliana occasionally called him her husband in public. He didn’t object. But when it came to Amara.
Her bright eyes, the emotion
flickering in them, and every little of her gesture would often flash
through his mind, overwhelming net
him. For the first time in
twenty-seven years, towards a woman, he felt something he’d never felt before.
He had even gone to a club that night, attempting to see if he could feel anything for another woman, but realized he couldn’t bring himself to do it He only had feelings for Amara. What on earth was happening to him?
