Chapter 78
Mandy Instantly frowned. “Mr. White, what do you mean? Gavin and I are completely innocent
“Innocent?” internupted her with a cold sneer. “Then where did the child in your belly come from?”
I
Mandy instinctively placed her hands over her stomach as her expression changed slightly. “… We were drunk that day
Her voice faltered momentarily as if something suddenly clicked in her mind. “If you hadn’t threatened to throw Gavin out onto the street that night, none of this would’ve happened When you get down to it, this is all your fault!”
“So, you’re saying I made the two of you sleep together?” I replied with a mocking smile.
“You-
“Enough!” Gavin snapped, his expression darkening as he scolded Mandy. “Stop embarrassing yourself here. Let’s go!”
But Mandy wasn’t having it. “Gavin, what’s that supposed to mean? She’s accusing us of something outrageous, and you’re taking her side? Whose side are you on?”
Gavin’s expression turned grim, and he pressed his lips tightly together as he remained silent, his gaze somber.
At that moment, Tom chuckled softly. His voice was calm and laced with subtle mockery as he said, “Mandy, don’t worry about whose side he’s on. You might want to figure out first whose child you’re carrying.”
Mandy’s face paled. “What are you implying?”
“It means exactly what it sounds like. Think it through yourself.”
Tom took my hand and led me toward the private room right as he finished speaking, ignoring Mandy’s shouts behind us.
As we entered the private room, I could still faintly hear Mandy questioning Gavin in the hallway. She sounded furious and was practically throwing a
“Gavin, are you even a man? They were accusing me of carrying someone else’s child…
“Enough. Stop making a scene here. What if someone takes photos?” Gavin said, his tone laced with frustration.

“What did Tom mean just now? Is the child in your belly really mine?”
“Gavin, are you insane? Do you believe his nonsense? Fine, fine! Since you refuse to acknowledge this child, I have no reason to keep them. I’ll go to the hospital right now and have the baby aborted! End of story!”
“Enough. I was just asking. I didn’t mean to doubt you.”
Their conversation faded as the two moved farther away.
“What’s wrong?” Tom asked, a faint smirk playing on his lips. “Why the long face? Didn’t you just win the argument?”
“It’s not about the argument….” I pulled out a chair and sat down. “I’m just worried. If Gavin finds out Mandy’s child isn’t his, he might change his mind.
about the divorce…”
After all, there was still a month left in the divorce cooling–off period. He could withdraw the filing at any time.
Tom curled his lips slightly and poured me a glass of water. “Don’t worry. Do you really think Mandy can’t handle something this small?”
I paused for a moment, then realized he was right.
Considering Mandy’s cunning nature and the fact that she had manipulated Gavin so thoroughly for years, how could she fail to cover up something like
this?
