Chapter 62
“Thank you, Joseph”
After he left, Gavin finally curled his lips into a mocking smile. “Seems like you have quite a few protectors…”
I couldn’t be bothered to listen to his sarcasm. “What do you want?”
He pursed his lips and, after a long pase, spoke in a deep voice. “You moved? Is this how badly you want to get rid of me?”
I interrupted him impatiently. “Is that all you wanted to say?”
A complicated expression crossed his face as if struggling with some inner pain. “Grace, have you become so impatient even just talking to me?”
He seemed unable to understand how the person who once made one so happy with just a few words had become so cold toward him now. “Just tell me what you want.”
no
Gavin took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions. He moved his lips as if about to speak but then seemed to change his mind. “Grace, is there n chance for us to retum to how we were?”
He clearly didn’t believe me. “Grace, I really will make up for everything I’ve wronged you for. Please give me one last chance, okay? Even if your mother is watching from above, she surely wouldn’t want to see us get divorced…”
“Gavin, you don’t deserve to mention my y mother!”
Without warning, he grabbed my shoulders. “Grace, don’t you want a child? We can do IVF. I promise I’ll make you the happiest

“Gavin…”
Before I could stop him, the car door not far from us suddenly opened, and Mandy, wearing sunglasses, walked over.
1 let out a cold laugh, immediately swatting his hand away, my lips curling into a mocking smile. “Gavin, you disgust me.”
He begged me to get back together while another woman sat in his car…
“Why are you taking so long?” Mandy frowned, seeming displeased. “Is it because Grace refuses to divorce you?”
Gavin didn’t respond; his expression was one of inner struggle.
Her brows furrowed as she looked at me. “Grace, I really overestimated you. I thought you were serious about divorcing Gavin, but it looks like you’re just playing hard to get?”
I instinctively looked at him, my eyes wide in disbelief. “You agreed to get a divorce?”
Gavin opened his mouth but couldn’t find the words. “Grace, I…”
“Gavin, what did you say before you came here?” Seeing him hesitate, she looked at him in disbelief. “Don’t you want to take responsibility for the child in my belly?”
At her words, I turned to stare at her, unable to believe
my
Take responsibility for the child in her belly? What did she mean by that?
Wasn’t the child Andrew’s? But how? Had Gavin already.
Gavin clearly hadn’t expected Mandy to blurt out the truth so easily. He hurriedly turned to me. “Grace, listen to me. I was drunk that day. I went to find you, but you handed me over to Mandy. I…”
I stared at him in shock. That day?

day when he was drunk and she took him away?
At that time, wasn’t Mandy already pregnant?
“Gavin, you’re not backing out, are you?” Mandy, furious at his explanation, flushed with anger. “Fine, if that’s the case, I’ll just get rid of the child now…
“Mandy!” He would never abandon this child.

He suffered from low sperm motility, and even with IVF, the chances of success were minimal. Now that Mandy was finally pregnant, this cl his only chance at becoming a father in his lifetime. He could never give up on it.
