Chapter 3
Knowing the truth after everything I had discovered yesterday, hearing lincoln’s words only made my heart ache even more.
How can you swear such a cruel sath? Aren’t you afraid it might come true?” I asked, my voice lated with hitterness.||
Lincoln het nut a low lough, his eyes full of what seemed to be genuine affection as he looked at me.]
“No, because no one knows her than I do how much I love your Lincoln said with conviction.
If you don’t beliver me, Laura, I’m willing to give you my entire life.]]
He claimed he could give me his whole life, yet he couldn’t control his desires
His body still carried the lingering stent of another woman, but his lips continued to weave the sweetest lies for me
I lowered my head and chuckled softly, not responding further. “Alright“||
Lincoln let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief before quickly changing the subject ||
“This afternoon, my mom wants an
visit the temple to pray and fun a vow.“]
This
“And tonight, at my unde Jasper’s engagement banquet, I have a surprise for your []
How coincidental, Lincoln–I have a surprise for you tonight as well
Two years ago, when Limenin was in a coma after the car accident, La non–believer, dragged my barely recovered body up ninety–nine steps, kneeling one by one, to pray for his safe recovery at the temple |
Today, returning to the same temple to fulfill that you, I was surprised to find Rosemary there as well
While drawing lots, vering that
no one was around, the batted her innocent eyes at me and smiled coyly
“Laura, I came to pray for the baby in my belly. Did you come for the same reason?|||
she looked so confident, as if she had already won, ready to take my place in Lincoln’s life]]|
Turning my head away. I tried to distance myself from her, but she suddenly stood up and grabbed my arm, lowering her voice to speak.]
“Oh, I’m sorry, Laura. I forgot you can’t have children. I shouldn’t have brought it up.“||
Watching her self–serving performance, I couldn’t help but find it a bit funny. But deep down, in ominous feeling stirred within me ||
Sure enough, during the vegetarian meal, Lancia’s mother brought up the topic of child again
“Laura when do you no plan to have kids after getting married?“||
Ever since learning about my infertility, Lincoln’s mother had disliked me. Though she couldn’t openly oppose her son’s choice, she often hinted that I should consider IVT.
I didn’t expect that, just last night, Lincoln had already agreed to bring his illegitimate child into our lives, and today his mother was eagerly pushing for it tu happen
Lincoln immediately put down his chopsticks and retorted, “Mom, I’ve already said were not planning to have kids!–]]
If you keep pressuring us, we won’t come back here anymore.“[]
Heating this, his mother looked ready to scold him for being unfitis, but I suddenly spoke up ||
“Alright let’s have one then,” I said. ||
But I’m afraid of the pain of IVT. How about we adopt a child instead, Lincolnt||
As soon as those words left any mouth, everyone’s faces it up with unconcealed delight
Liis mother nodded repeatedly in agreem
That’s exactly what I was thinking You two can go and adopt together when the time comes. “||

Although this was the outcome he had been hoping for, sering how sensible and understanding Laura was being made him feel slightly uneasy, as if her understanding demeanor was somehow off
On the way down the mountain, the weather took a turn for
arm for the worse
Coupled with Lincoln’s distracted state, we had gone far before the ear soddenly made a loud “hang” as it rear–ended another vehide]]
In an instant, the car span in place before nipping over
The hamtlag memories of the car accident two years ago flooded my mind
The airbag’s impact left me feeling dizzy, my body trembling uncontrollably
