Chapter 1545
Jeremy couldnât tolerate anyone speaking ill of his wife. His voice suddenly turned stern. âSteven!â
Steven replied, âMarc, I was complimenting your wifeâs intelligence, nothing more.â
Jeremy said, âTheyâve ended their video call. Weâll chat another day.â
Then, Steven heard the busy tone of the call. Marc was deliberately provoking him, wasnât he? But he had no way of dealing with him.
Steven put away his phone and quietly looked up at the sky. His mind kept revolving around the phrase that Jeremy had just mentioned â âGet rid of the father and keep the child.â
âGet rid of the father and keep the child!â
Just the idea of Hannah wanting a child but not him, the childâs father, made his heart ache like it was being roasted on fire.e2
However, upon further thought/if Hannah could have his child, and would allow him to be her childâs father, that would actually be better than having no relationship with her at all. After this thought, Steven felt that the phrase was not so hard to accept.
At the same time, Hannah, who had ended her video call, was still wide awake. She also kept thinking about the words that Cornelia had just said â âGet rid of the father and keep the child.â
If Steven had not had a vasectomy, this method would indeed be feasible. After all, Steven was handsome, and she wasnât bad-looking either. If both parents were good-looking, then most likely, the child would be too.
But this wasnât up to her Steven would definitely not agree to such an unreasonable request.
Hannah shook her head, not wanting to think about it anymore, and closed her eyes, trying hard to sleep. Once asleep, all worries would be gone.
After a while, she finally fell asleep, but Cornelia, who had ended the video call, was not so lucky. She was taking a shower when Jeremy, who was supposed to be putting Hope to bed, suddenly barged into the bathroom.
Cornelia looked up at him, thinking he just needed to wash his hands or grab something, but then his hot body pressed against hers. She gently pushed him away. âJeremy, Hope is outside, what are you doing?â
âI asked Patricia to look after Hopeâ Jeremy held Cornelia, whispering in her ear, âHoneyâ¦â
Jeremyâs health wasnât great, and Cornelia was less than a year postpartum. The two of them were very restrained, seldom having sex. Now, his sudden approach ignited the flame inside Cornelia. She held him back. âIâm ready.â
But Jeremy wasnât hinting at that. Instead, he asked her solemnly, âHoney, who is more important to you, me or our son?â
Cornelia didnât know what was wrong with this man. Instead of continuing making out, he was asking such a childish question. âDid you come in here just to ask me that?â
Jeremy nibbled her ear. âTell me.â
This man was particularly mischievous, especially his hands. He tickled Cornelia until she had no strength left. âBoth you and our son are important to me.â
Jeremy pressed, âYou have to choose one.â
Cornelia replied, âWhy do I have to choose? Both of you are the most important people in my life. Of course, youâre equally important.â
âHoney, you must choose one, or I wonât forgive you tonightâ¦â Before, when Cornelia answered like this, Jeremy would let her off. But tonight, after hearing her say keeping the kid instead of the father, Jeremy felt that he might not have been as important as Hope was in Corneliaâs heart. This thought made him jealous, and he insisted on hearing the answer he wanted from her.
âMmmâ¦â Cornelia moaned softly, unprepared for him to invade her like this. âHow can I answer when youâre like this?
