Gavin''s brows were tightly furrowed as if he was experiencing some kind of painful struggle.


    Finally, he let out a deep breath and fixed his gaze on me. "Grace Summers, I''ll ask you onest time. Do you really want a divorce?"


    I was still lost in the shock of Gavin''s sudden announcement that he was the father of an unborn child, so I hesitated for a moment before reacting.


    Once I came to my senses, I nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes."


    "Alright." Gavin let out a heavy sigh of relief, then continued, "Tomorrow morning, I''ll wait for you at the courthouse."


    After that, gave me a deep look before grabbing Mandy''s hand and striding toward the car.


    "Are you still hung up on Grace?" Before they even walked far, Mandy pinched Gavin''s waist openly. "You''re the one who wronged me. Still, did you make it sound like I''m the one taking advantage of you?"


    "Enough, stop talking." Gavin grabbed her hand and opened the car door for her. "Get in."


    Watching the car speed away, I stood frozen in ce as if I couldn''t believe Gavin had actually agreed to the divorce just like that!


    I didn''t know how much time passed before I startedughing, but once I started, I couldn''t stopughing uncontrobly for a long while before I managed to calm down.


    I immediately called Dawn to share the good news! After hearing what I said, it took her several seconds to process it before she could fully process the information I just shared with her.


    "Mandy used her ex-husband''s sperm and imed it was Gavin''s?" Dawn''s tone was full of incredulity. "And Gavin... He actually believed it?"


    "Yeah," I answered.


    Dawn clicked her tongue in amazement. "Doesn''t Gavin know he has low sperm motility? He actually believed he was lucky enough to get her pregnant in just one try?"


    I chuckled lightly. "It doesn''t matter if he believes it or not. I just want him to agree to the divorce.''


    "You''re right," Dawn agreed with a nod, grinning brightly.


    However, as if something suddenly urred to her, she added, "By the way, didn''t it also take you just one time to get pregnant? It seems even with low sperm motility, it''s quite possible to conceive..."


    Her words inevitably reminded me of the absurd encounter with Gavinst month. At the banquet, someone had slipped something into my drink. Fortunately, Gavin arrived just in time... Thinking about it, I lowered my gaze, my hand instinctively resting on my lower abdomen.


    "Dawn, after we finish the divorce procedures at the courthouse tomorrow,e with me to the hospital for an abortion."


    The doctor had told me during myst visit that my body wasn''t in a condition for the procedure at the time. Now that a week had passed, it was time to end this once and for all.


    "Are you sure?" she asked out of concern.


    "Yes."


    "Alright, I''ll go with you to the hospital tomorrow."


    ...


    Perhaps because a long-awaited wish was about toe true, I was in such a good mood that my work efficiency skyrocketed. That day, my voice-over job ended half an hour earlier than expected.


    Since I got off work early, I made a special trip to the supermarket, nning to cook a nice meal to celebrate.


    But just as I was waiting for the elevator with bags of groceries, someone suddenly took the items from my hands.


    Startled, I thought I was being robbed and instinctively tried to snatch them back.


    "It''s me," said a low, seductive voice.


    "Tom?" I let out a long sigh of relief, lightly patting my chest. "You almost gave me a heart attack."
