Chapter 694: Chapter 694



“I’ve always thought choosing you was the right decision. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed to be with you. So, no. I don’t regret anything, Jett.”

“If I ever made a mistake, would you forgive me?”

Jett’s questions were a little out of the ordinary, but Fannie chose not to read too much into them.

“As long as you don’t hurt me, I suppose I could forgive you.”

He fell silent for a moment before pulling her into his arms.

“Fifi, believe me, if I ever hurt you, know that it was never my intention.”

He seemed a bit off tonight, but she just assumed he was tired. She patted his shoulder.

“I know. Now, go home.”

He released her.

“I’ll leave after you get inside.”

Fannie got out of the car and headed upstairs. It wasn’t until the lights in her apartment flickered on that Jett finally looked away.

He picked up his phone from the dashboard, checked the recent call log, and dialed the number back.

“I’ve told you not to call me when she’s with me.”

“Did Fannie find out?”

“No.”

“Are you still with her now? If not, can you come see me? I miss you.”

Jett glanced at Fannie’s window, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

“This is the last time.”

One of Fannie’s acquaintances, a producer, had collapsed during a recording session, prompting Fannie to purchase a bouquet of flowers for her visit. To her surprise, it was also the day Katherine was scheduled to give birth.

As the elevator hummed to a stop on the obstetrics floor, the doors slid open. There, cradling her swollen belly, Katherine sat in a wheelchair, wheeled in by Shawn. Bobby, right behind them, juggled an unwieldy stack of medical forms.

“Oh, what an unexpected twist!” Katherine managed to say, but her words were abruptly interrupted by a sharp contraction.

“Shawn!” she gasped.

Shawn was by her side in an instant, kneeling down to offer his hand, his voice full of encouragement. “Hold on, honey. You’re incredible!”

“It’s all on you! You’ve dragged me into this chaos!” Katherine’s outcry pierced the air, her face slick with perspiration and her lips ghostly white from the pain.

“I’m truly sorry.” Shawn’s voice was filled with regret as he admitted to every mistake he had made. “Once we’re through this, I’ll pamper you endlessly. An office building, wasn’t it? Well, it’s already yours.”

“Really?” Katherine’s discomfort seemed to ease slightly at the news.

“Absolutely. You’re the most resilient woman out there! You can handle this pain, can’t you?”

Clutching her lower back, Katherine mustered a burst of resolve. “Yes, I can!”
