Chapter 446: Chapter 446 Met The Bad Guy

Thea’s lips shivered. She used to be a confident and tough woman in front of Harley.

However, it felt as though she had lost all her confidence ever since she had this child. Because of her own mistake, she had now become inferior to others.

Now, she had a child in her belly, and she didn’t even know who the father of the baby was.

The more she thought about it, the more tongue-tied she became.

She finally answered nonchalantly after a long while, “He is very busy. He isn’t as good as you are, Officer Louis.”

Thea soon hailed a taxi. She got into the car and left promptly.

Harley watched as the taxi slowly drove away. His mind was filled with her words. Why did she still choose that b*stard over him when she clearly knew that he was the better choice?

She used to be so arrogant, yet she had become like this because of that b*stard.

He was so furious when he saw how yielding and soft-spoken she had become.

Harley couldn’t help but kick the trash can on the side of the road. Irritated, he scratched his hair and got into his car.

…

Finley was already there when Thea arrived.

They had met each other before at their family gathering. It was very dark then, hence, Thea did not have a good look at him.

Now that the place was brightly lit, she realized that he looked at least 40 years old. Even though he groomed himself well, the wrinkles at the corner of his eyes still could not be hidden.

Finley was overjoyed the moment he saw Thea.

“Miss Stewart, it’s great to see you again. I had taken a fancy at you when I saw you at the gathering the other time. You look even better now without makeup.”

Thea smiled lightly and took a seat across him.

“If you don’t mind, may I know how old are you?”

Finley was stunned, “Age is not a problem. There’s nothing to hide. I’m almost 40 years old, and you’re approaching 30 years old too, right? It’s more or less the same. Besides, our families match well. Isn’t that good?

Thea almost rolled her eyes. Almost 40 years old? He could well be 39, couldn’t he? Also, how was she almost 30 years old? She was only 26 for goodness’ sake!

However, after thinking about the situation that she was in currently, Thea realized that she did not have the right or privilege to mind his flaws at the moment. If he could accept her child, she couldn’t care less about anything else.

After all, the ability to give the child a father and a home seemed to be more important than anything else for her at the moment.

Thea nodded. “You are right.”

Finley laughed instantly and praised, “You’re a smart lady. I like smart people. Excuse me, please get her a cup of coffee.”

Thea frowned. This person was too self-centered. He had ordered something for her without even asking for her opinion.

“No, just plain water please!” Thea replied.

Finley was even more pleased with Thea. “That’s a saying that women are made of water. It seems that you like drinking plain water, Miss Steward. You must be a very pure girl,” As he said this, he stretched his arm out towards Thea.

Thea avoided his touch subconsciously, replying, “By the way, I have something very important to tell you.”

Finley was stunned and he said, “Go ahead.”

Thea let out a deep breath. She already knew what the outcome would be. Finley probably would make a big fuss over it, but there was no going back at this moment.

“Well, I had gotten pregnant accidentally. However, I plan to keep the child. Would you be able to accept me and my child?”

Finley was dumbfounded. He finally laughed after a long while.

“Miss Stewart, are you kidding me? I didn’t expect you to be humorous.”

Thea shook her head and said, “No, I’m not kidding. I know that it’s shameless for me to tell you these. However, I think that I should be honest now that things have come to this point. I won’t blame you if you refuse to accept me, because I am the one who made the mistake. I…”

Finley had already grabbed her wrist even before she could finish her sentence. The smile on his face had turned into rage.

“D*mn it, I didn’t think that the Stewart family would actually dare to fool me by giving me a loose woman like you. Do I look like someone who would take this kind of sh*t?”

He was quite strong. Thea was already very skinny. She felt as though her wrist was going to break with his strop grip.

She cried in a panic, “Sir, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I apologize. Our relationship hasn’t been confirmed and we’re not formally engaged yet. If you couldn’t accept it, I’ll leave immediately and I won’t tell anyone else about this as well. Could you please let me go first?”

Finley was not willing to listen to her. He had always been proud of his upper-class status, and he thought that getting married to a Stewart would boost his status. However, he felt that he had been fooled, and he didn’t expect that the Stewart family would arrange for a pregnant woman to marry him. It was unacceptable!

“What could your apology do? You’ve wasted my time here!”

Thea frowned. “What should I do to compensate you then? Just tell me…”

“Compensate? Could you afford it? I must spread your scandal. Let’s go back to your home right now. I’m going to ask your father if this is how the Stewart family educate their daughter!”

Thea was terrified. She knew that her father would ask her to terminate her pregnancy if he got to know about this matter.

After all, that was how he had treated her mother in the past.

“I won’t go. Sir, please don’t do this. I’ve said that this is a personal matter between us. I will compensate you! Give me your terms!”

Finley turned his face to her slender body instantly and asked, “Terms? How long has it been since you got pregnant?”

Thea was stunned. She answered, “Two months…”

“Two months? I don’t think that there’s any problem then. Since you like sleeping with men, why don’t you sleep with me too then? Didn’t you ask me if I could accept your child? I can! As long as you serve me well, I am willing to accept anything!”

Thea frowned. She asked, “What do you mean? Do you want me to be your mistress?”

“Why not? You’re already in this state anyway. Do you still expect to be my wife? Impossible! Anyway, I don’t think that anyone would want to marry you anymore. You would be better off just being my mistress.”

With this, he stretched out his head toward Thea, saying, “Come on, give me a kiss.”

Thea was indignant. Being someone’s mistress had always been a big no for her. Her mother had ended up in such a miserable situation because she was someone’s mistress. Therefore, she couldn’t possibly agree to such an arrangement.

“I refuse! Let me go,” Thea warned. However, she couldn’t seem to break free from his grip. Before she knew it, she had already slapped him hard in the face.

Finley became frustrated, “B*tch, how dare you slap me? I’m going to kill you!”

After that, he aimed his leg at Thea’s stomach.
