Xenia continued in a hoarse voice, "I know.I'm not trying to get anything from you using the baby, but I just want to bid a proper farewell to it.Even though I got very scared when I first found out about my baby, its existence made me somewhat greedy...for someone who doesn't belong to me."
She started sobbing as she spoke.
"Mr.Jewell, I don't want anything from you.I can have an abortion like you wanted, but can we not do it today? The doctor just let me listen to my baby's heartbeat, and my baby is probably conscious now.I want to have a proper conversation with my baby and tell the baby that I'm not giving up on it because I don't love it.Albert saw Xenia crying, and his heart immediately softened.She looked so much like Rainee when she was crying.
Besides, he even started to feel like their voice sounded very similar too even though it might just be an illusion.
When she cried and said those words, he could almost see Rainee in her twenties standing in front of him with her eyes reddened because she was injured from playing sports.
Albert was taken aback, and he turned hesitant.
He just could not forgive Rainee for betraying him.
He had always believed that his relationship with Rainee became so disastrous because of how assertive and domineering Rainee was to him.
Yet, deep down, he was very proud that he got to marry a woman like Rainee, who was beautiful, capable, and admired by many boys in their class back then.
The fact that this girl chose him and not the other boys who looked down on him greatly satisfied his inferior sense of pride.
However, Rainee had always been a very controlling person.She did not allow him to smoke or drink if it was not for business purposes, and she even had a curfew for him to obey.She would call him nonstop if he was not home after ten o'clock.
He felt as though Rainee chose him only because he was an easy person to contain, and he could easily satisfy her desire for control.
She would never seek his opinion when it came to making important decisions at work and always acted based on her own judgment.
That made Albert, who graduated from the same school as her, feel very unfair.
As time passed, he began to forget a lot of things that had happened when he was still dating Rainee.
However, after Rainee had passed away, he would always see Rainee's face when she was younger in his dream.
Sometimes she would look coquettish, and sometimes sad.
But, it all reminded him of the times when she depended on him for everything.
Xenia looked exactly like the Rainee in his dream right now.
Their similar voice and looks struck Albert right in his heart.
Suddenly, he completely forgot about the promise he had just made to Hylda as he gently wiped away the tears on Xenia's face.
"Don't cry.You don't have to get an abortion if you don't want you.It's just a child anyway.I have plenty of money to raise him."
Xenia asked in a hoarse voice, "But, what are you going to tell your wife? I don't want to put you in a difficult position."
Albert frowned, and his head hurt when he heard that.
Then, he said in a low voice, "Let that be my concern.I'll take care of it."
Hylda was just called out, and she heard exactly what Albert said as anger flooded her veins.
‘What an asshole.He can never change who he truly is!’ Hylda was about to explode with rage, but she heard Stella's voice coming from a distance.
"Mr.and Mrs.Jewell, what a coincidence."
Albert and Hylda were both shocked.
They turned around and saw Stella's nonchalant face from not far away with Keegan, why they had not seen for a long time, standing beside her.
They stood about two or three feet apart from each other, looking neither too intimate nor distant.But, the looks on their faces were very indifferent.
