He thought she wouldn’t be so cruel.
But in the end, she was ruthless enough.
Cecilia’s face turned pale, pain shooting through her jaw as if it were about to be crushed.
Tears welled in her eyes as she clung to his wrist, trying to exin.
“I just went for a checkup.”
He could easily find out.
She hadn’t scheduled any surgery.
“But you never wanted him from the start,” Wesley’s eyes were tinged with red.
He had saved Noah.
But she had changed her mind and wanted to get rid of the child.
Cecilia stopped struggling. She met Wesley’s anger head–on, neither dodging nor avoiding.
Her eyes gradually regained their calm.
She made no effort to hide her sarcasm.
“If I give birth, is it just so you can keep threatening me?”
Wesley was stung by the distrust in her eyes.

He let go in defeat.
“That’s our child. How could I…”
“How could you not?” Cecilia sneered. “Grandma, Noah–aren’t they all the same?”
“Wesley, ever since you gave the Holiday Series perfume to Larissa, there has been no future for us.”
This was her truest thought.
She wanted to draw a clear line between them.
She wanted to leave.
Wesley raised his hand to cover his eyes.
His pain was deeply hidden within.
In the suffocating air, neither of them felt any better.
Until he lowered his hand, his eyes now cold and indifferent.
“You know me, Cecilia. I’m the kind of person who likes to force others.”
Cecilia pressed her lips together. Things hade to this point.
He still refused to let go.
“You…”
Wesley instructed the driver to start the car.
He rubbed the ring on the ring finger of his left hand.
Even after the divorce, he still wore that ring.

But the ring on Cecilia’s hand had long since disappeared.
“I told you, a life for a life.” His tone was steady, devoid of any warmth. “Give birth to the child and I’ll let you go.”
“Otherwise, do you really think Madam Wilkinson can protect Noah?”
“Wesley.” Cecilia’s chest heaved violently.
She clenched her palms, her eyes bright with anger.
“He’s just a child.”
Wesley pressed his lips together and said mockingly, “So is the one in your belly.”
“If you don’t treat him well, why should I treat Noah well?”
Cecilia gazed out the window, emotions surging in her eyes.
Wesley looked the other way, his expression indifferent, tinged with
anger.
This time, neither of them was willing to back down.
It wasn’t until the car stopped at a red light.
Cecilia turned back, her voice hoarse as she issued a warning.
“Wesley, if you dare touch Noah, don’t even think about the child in my belly,”
She was ready to risk everything.
She didn’t want to live that suffocating life anymore.
Wesley’s eyes were icy cold. As expected, her heart was only with Noah, which was why she would use the child in her belly to threaten

him.
Now, they both had found each other’s weakness.
“Cecilia, do you really not have even a shred of feeling for him?” Wesley’s chest ached terribly.
He had never known she could be so cold.
Without the identity of Prisci to hide behind, she was gradually revealing another side of herself.
Cecilia dug her nails into her palm, her expression especially cold and calm.
“I’ve already said, I don’t want your child.”
She wanted to be a mother, but the child’s father shouldn’t be Wesley.
He wasn’t worthy.
Wesley lowered his eyes, darkness surging within them.
He spoke slowly and deliberately: “Cecilia, I’ve told you before, I like forcing people to do what they/don’t want, so you’d better behave and give birth to the child.”
Cecilia sneered, meeting him head–on. “Then please, Mr. Carlton, stay away from me, or I can’t guarantee what I might do.”
“If anything happens to him, then let Noah be buried with him.”
“Fine, I’ll be buried with him.”
The mes of anger burned high.
The temperature inside the car dropped to freezing.

No one spoke again.
After the car dropped Cecilia off at Chaston Vi, Wesley didn’t even get out, he drove away straight away.
A whileter, a servant came to say that Wesley wouldn’t be back for dinner, and asked Cecilia what she wanted to eat.
Cecilia had a terrible headache and told the kitchen to make something simple.
After eating, she went back to her bedroom to rest.
For a week, Wesley didn’te back, but he didn’t restrict Cecilia’s freedom either, still allowing her to visit Noah at the hospital.
Gracelyn had already assigned someone to take care of Noah.
Noah was still in the sterile room, with only limited periods of wakefulness each day.
Gracelyn would asionallye to visit as well.
