Molly didn’t expect that even now, he still planned to take her away.

There were so many people outside. If she were to be carried out naked like this, it would make the headlines immediately.

Since it had come to this, it was better to appease this person first.

She held onto Michael Gallagher’s arm and whispered, “Let me down first.”

Her voice was gentle, like a clear stream flowing through his heart, and his gaze deepened.

Molly quickly took the opportunity to stand up.

Meeting his deep gaze, Molly touched her stomach and said softly, “The baby is indeed yours.”

“But we are divorced, so the baby has nothing to do with you anymore.”

The word “divorce” pierced Michael Gallagher’s ears deeply.

For countless nights, he had tried to console himself with the idea of divorce, but the more he thought about it, the more sober he became. Later, he tried to get closer to her, but she pushed him away again and again, until now, when she admitted to being pregnant with his child.

Michael suppressed the sadness and frustration in his heart and stared at her: “Yes, we are divorced, but we can remarry.”

Hearing this, Molly’s heart leaped nervously, thumping non-stop.

What she feared and worried about most had come true.

“I can’t accept a man who has cheated.”

When she had married Michael, he was a clean man, but now he had been tainted by other women, and she had an obsession with cleanliness.

“I didn’t cheat,” his dark pupils were like the abyss of the night, covered with a thin layer of mist, “Isabelle Richardson is just my responsibility.”

Molly lowered her eyes and let out a bitter smile, her eyes filled with a clear understanding.

“She is your responsibility, so you have to protect her, even if it costs grandmother’s life…”

Her voice was filled with a light bitterness, and the light in her eyes gradually faded.

“She is your responsibility, but I am your wife! Don’t you have any responsibility to me? Michael, I will never forget how you protected her after grandmother died. No matter the reason, the moment you stood by her side, you became my enemy.”

“Do you remember what I said before?” Molly looked at him intently, “I said that if I were pregnant with your baby, I would have an abortion.”

Michael Gallagher’s heart jolted, his fingers clenching into a fist, his face turning pale uncontrollably.

He glanced at her belly, and his breath suddenly caught.

She wanted to abort the baby?!

Michael’s pupils shrank suddenly, his hand trembling slightly, and cold sweat broke out in his palm.

With the thought of her aborting the baby, his heart felt like it was being squeezed tight, unable to breathe.

“I won’t allow it!” his voice was tense and hoarse.

This was the result of their union, even if it was an accident, it was enough to make him happy.

He was a person with few relatives, and even if it was an accident, he wanted to keep this little life.

He didn’t want to hurt the baby, nor did he want to hurt her.

She must have despised him so much that she didn’t want to give birth to his child.

“You can do whatever you want.” He paused, his eyes reddening, “You don’t have to forgive me, but don’t hurt an innocent life.”

His voice carried a mournful plea.

He was wrong!

He regretted it!

He had thought that by being ruthless, he could sever his attachment to her, and by being ruthless, she could be happier with the man outside.

He was wrong; he underestimated his feelings for her and her determination to take revenge.

He hadn’t expected her to be pregnant and even wanted to abort the innocent little life.

Molly lowered her eyelashes, hiding her dark pupils, and the corner of her lips curled up with a sarcastic smile.

She never thought that the once high and mighty, proud man would lower his head to beg her.

Thinking of their past, Molly’s eyes grew warm.

Actually, a long time ago, Michael had treated her well. When she had just graduated and entered the Gallagher Group Internship, she was bullied by her colleagues. He had come forward to scold them and encouraged her.

During college, he was one of her sponsors. With his casual decision to sponsor her, she had finished college relying on the Gallagher family’s support.

After getting married, he treated her well and courteously. Although their marriage was hidden, he had never deprived her of anything. She had become the richest person among her classmates soon after graduation.

She was touched and grateful.

She forced herself to look away and suppress the softness in her heart.

The end of their three-year marriage marked the end of their relationship.

“Molly!”

Jeremy Norman’s sudden voice interrupted their thoughts.

He had been standing outside the door for a long time, hearing Molly’s words, and his heart ached as if stabbed with a knife.

It was because he came too late. If he hadn’t gone abroad to study and had come to find her earlier, he wouldn’t have let Michael Gallagher hurt her for three years.

“Jeremy…” Seeing him, Molly smiled gently, “Why are you here? Has the banquet started yet?”

Jeremy had told her that his grandmother wanted to meet her.

Ever since her own grandmother had passed away, she felt a sense of tolerance toward elderly people of the same age.

“Yes, my grandmother is waiting for you downstairs.” Jeremy briefly explained, his gaze coldly sweeping over Michael Gallagher, “Mr. Gallagher, what are you doing here?”

Molly thought he was worried that she would back out of the competition and quickly said, “Don’t worry, I won’t change my mind about what I promised you.”

Jeremy’s eyes softened, “I know. Let’s go downstairs first; my grandmother might get anxious.”

Molly nodded and hurriedly walked towards the door.

Jeremy took a few steps and turned back to look at Michael Gallagher, “Mr. Gallagher, being meddlesome can be annoying.”

Meddlesome?

Michael stood up straight with his hands in his pockets, “Isn’t that what you’re doing?”

He walked up to Jeremy and looked at him sideways, his face calm, “I didn’t expect you to like playing daddy.”

Jeremy’s face stiffened.

When Michael didn’t know about the pregnancy, he could still mock him, but now that he knew everything, it was as if Jeremy had offered his face to be slapped by him.

Nothing could change the fact that Molly was pregnant with Michael’s child.

Jeremy’s full lips wore a shallow smile, his eyes clear and bright.

“There’s nothing wrong with being a father. I love her as a person.”

He wasn’t a pedantic person, and even if he had to raise someone else’s child, it wasn’t something shameful.

He smiled, exuding an aura of trustworthiness.

“I don’t mind raising someone else’s child. What I’m afraid of is that my own child can only call me uncle.”

The hint of sarcasm could not be mistaken, making it clear to everyone what was meant.

Michael laughed lightly, the coldness in his voice sending a chill down people’s spines. The eyes beneath his lashes revealed a hint of malice.

Uncle?

Very well.

Molly went downstairs without looking back and didn’t know about the confrontation between the two men behind her.

Amanda was downstairs, and when she saw Molly coming down, she approached her with a grave expression, hesitating to speak.

Seeing her like this, Molly also had a bad feeling.

“What’s wrong?”
