From the start, Timothy had made it crystal clear that he didn’t want kids. If he found out about Mia’s


    pregnancy, he would insist on her getting an abortion.


    Mia quickly made up her mind. “Yes! You thought right!”


    “Wow! Were you so eager to divorce me because you got knocked up by another guy? I knew


    something was off about your sudden change in attitude, bringing up divorce out of nowhere. So you’ve


    not only found someone new, but you’re also carrying his child!” Timothy’s expression grew unpleasant,


    and he red at Mia.


    In a matter of seconds, Mia was drenched in cold sweat, fearing Timothy would see through her lies.

    Now that the baby wasing to term, Mia heard they could get a paternity test while she was still


    pregnant. She couldn’t risk it!


    Mia clenched her hands tightly under the nket. But she maintained a cool facade. “I only got


    pregnant after we signed the divorce papers. Legally, I haven’t done anything wrong.”


    Mia was relieved that Timothy always had a bad impression of her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to


    come up with an excuse for the child.


    “But we haven’t finalized the divorce. You’re still my wife!” argued Timothy.


    “But aren’t you engaged to Maya? What’s the difference? You’re a pot calling the kettle ck!” Mia met


    his gaze squarely. “Timothy, we’ve been keeping up the act for Grandma Laura’s sake, and we’ve


    agreed not to meddle in each other’s personal lives. I haven’t broken our deal.”


    Right after Mia said that, she felt an overwhelming pressure emanating from Timothy. It was silent yet


    threatening.


    But she couldn’t back down. If he sensed anything was amiss, the child would be at risk.


    Timothy cleared his throat. “But our agreement didn’t include you getting pregnant!”


    “And does it include you being engaged to Maya?” Mia retorted. At that moment, she was filled with


    courage, like a lioness protecting her cub.


    Timothy bent down to her eye level with a dark gaze. He hissed, “No man can tolerate being cheated


    on. Mia, I’ll give you a choice.”


    As he inched closer, Mia instinctively backed away. But her back was already against the headboard


    with nowhere to go.

    She widened her eyes as Timothy approached. At this proximity, she could see Timothy’s handsome


    features, how smooth his skin was, and even his pores.


    Timothy’s skin was much smoother than hers.


    They were so close they could feel each other’s breath.


    Mia pursed her lips. “And what’s that?”


    “Abort the baby!” growled Timothy.


    “No!” Mia’s refusal was instant and resolute.


    At the same time, her heart sank. He wouldn’t keep the child, after all.


    Timothy’s gaze hardened. “Do you think I’m giving you a choice? Since you don’t want to take the


    easy way out, fine. I’ll arrange for a doctor to perform the abortion.”


    “No!” Mia grabbed his arm and gave him a pleading look. “Please!”


    He grasped her chin firmly. “What makes you think begging would work? Until we’ve finalized the


    divorce, you’re still my wife. How dare you carry another man’s child? Do you think I run a charity?”


    Despair washed over Mia. She cried out, “Timothy Barrett, you have no right to take away my child!


    “Well, it’s not my child.” Timothy huffed cruelly.


    “Who says it’s not?” shrieked Mia.
