Chapter 1797

[ 697 words ]

“It’s exactly because I know that I don’t dare take the gamble.”

“I’m sorry, Lincoln, but I refuse to spend the rest of my life suffocated by a mortgage.”

“And I refuse to bring a child into this world just to watch them suffer the same financial struggles I did.”

Bianca unconsciously placed a hand over her stomach.

Lincoln’s face went completely dead. “Are you pregnant with his child?”

“No.” Bianca instinctively took a step back, putting distance between herself and Lincoln.

She looked at him as if she expected him to physically attack her.

The sight of her cowering felt like a knife to Lincoln’s eyes.

“Just go. From now on, we are nothing to each other.”

They had been together for years, and Lincoln really didn’t want to drag this out with vicious insults.

Besides, a heartless woman like Bianca wouldn’t care anyway.

“You promised, so you better not say anything to Mr. Green…”

Before Bianca could finish her sentence, Lincoln cut her off. “Don’t worry. I will never mention our past to your new boyfriend.”

Whether Yanni found out through other channels, however, was entirely out of his control.

Just like Claire and Dane, Lincoln highly doubted Yanni genuinely cared about her. “Thank you, Lincoln.”

A sudden, intense wave of regret washed over Bianca.

Lincoln was still exactly the same always looking out for her!

If he hadn’t caught her red-handed, she truly wouldn’t have had the heart to dump him.

Bianca took a few steps forward, reaching out to hug him one last time, just like she used to.

But Lincoln’s freezing glare stopped her dead in her tracks.

“I… I just wanted one last hug.”

“I’ll pass. Have some self-respect.”

The sheer ice in Lincoln’s voice forced Bianca to finally accept reality: she had completely lost this man.

Lincoln was a man of strict principles; once a line was crossed, he was merciless.

She had already weighed her options and made her choice. Now, she had to wake up and face the brutal truth that he would never be hers again.

“I really am sorry.”

Bianca wanted to say more, but Lincoln had completely turned his back to her.

She gave up.

She grabbed her bags and suitcases, preparing to walk out the door.

However, she had far too much stuff to carry by herself.

Plus, she was secretly terrified that she might actually be pregnant, and if she strained herself…

She turned back to Lincoln. “Could you help me carry these downstairs?”

“They’re too heavy. I can’t manage them alone.”

Lincoln didn’t say yes, but he did stand up.

Carrying her bags to the edge of the apartment complex was the absolute limit of his goodwill.

Staring at the pile of luggage on the sidewalk, Bianca immediately regretted not just begging him to drive her back to her dorm.

“Lincoln, could you please just drive me back to campus?”

“Are you absolutely sure you want show up at your dorm like this?” Lincoln didn’t

Bianca’s face went pale. If she dragged all these bags back to her dorm right now,

the vicious rumors that would spread were unimaginable.

Bianca fell silent. Lincoln didn’t care what scheme she came up with next; he simply

turned around and walked back to his apartment.

The very first thing Lincoln did upon

He eradicated every single trace that Bianca had ever existed in his life.

That afternoon, Lincoln still went into the office.

As for Bianca, after agonizing over her options, she decided to call Yanni to come pick her up.

She wanted to move into his place, planning to lie and say her landlord had suddenly kicked her out.

Claiming the landlord broke the lease, she’d say she desperately needed a place to crash.

But Yanni didn’t take her back to his place; he just rented a tiny apartment for her instead.

Though deeply disappointed, Bianca had no choice but to settle in for the time being.

She figured she would wait until she was absolutely certain she was pregnant before making any real demands.

Demands like a wedding ring, or a house fully in her name.
