His ears were red, but he still pretended to be calm.

Curtis froze in place, his ears buzzing.

Five months?!
He clearly went to the Zaford to find her three months ago.
This child was not his!!
Unable to hear what the doctor said, Curtis turned and rushed to the ward.
“Kate!” He roared, “Why did you lie to me?!“>
The woman on the bed looked up in panic, with tears still on her pale face.
“Curtis, I don’t know what you are talking about?”
He suddenly felt sick.
Three months ago, she used this pitiful appearance to trick him into bed.
Curtis took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling violently.

“You said you were with that man just because he had a terminal illness and you accompanied him to the end. You didn’t have sex!”
Kate’s eyelashes trembled violently and tears fell in a string.
“Curtis, he forced me to do it and I didn’t want to.”
Curtis sneered, “He was so sick that he couldn’t even get out of bed. How could he force you?! Kate, do mouth?!”

He pointed to her belly with a trembling hand, his voice hoarse.
“Do you know? Even if there is no child, I will take care of you for the rest of your life! I said, you are my ex–wife, it is my responsibility! But why did you lie to me?! Let me be a cheap father, let me… lose Sacha!}
Kate looked at him blankly.
“Lose Sacha? You dislike her. What does it matter?”
“Who said I don’t like her?!” He clenched his fists and almost shouted.
After Curtis shouted, he was stunned first.
He panicked and softened his tone. “People’s feelings will change.”
Maybe they hadn’t changed at all.
At first, he said I was the love of his life just to perfunctorily.
After all, I could be happy all day with just a casual remark.
Later, he gradually began to be sincere and spoke sincerely every time.
I was so good, of course I deserved his love.
Kate’s eyes were full of sadness.
“Curtis, three years ago, we knew each other for less than a month and you begged me to get married, saying that you were determined to be me. Is it my illusion? You always say that you have a responsibility to me. Putting aside the responsibility, I just want to ask one question, have you ever loved me?”
This question asked Curtis and he began to recall.
Three years ago, Kate was a poor international student who received a full scholarship with her own strength.
She was optimistic and cheerful, had her own pursuits and was never bound by anyone or rules.
Unlike me, even if I was forced by her parents to marry someone I didn’t like, I didn’t even complain.
I had no temper, no edges and was so obedient that it made people angry.
He didn’t want to be like me and be submissive and be a tool for grandfather to repay his kindness.
So, the first time he rebelled in his life was to marry Kate, whom he had known for less than a month in the Zaford.
“Curtis!” Kate suddenly raised her voice and choked, “Is it so difficult to answer this question?”
Her fingertips pinched deeply into her palm and she already had the answer in her heart.
He was silent for a full five minutes on such a simple question as love or not. “Maybe, I loved you for a short time.” Curtis finally spoke, his voice was terribly calm. Three days after the marriage, he regretted it.
