Tanner put on his clothes and walked out of the room. Someone was making breakfast in the kitchen,
and a pleasant scent wafted out into the living area.
He walked over in a hurry, but what he saw was not the person that he had in mind, and his expression
stiffened slightly.
Sandy placed the fried egg on the plate, turned around to look at him, and smiled.” Have you woken
up?”
Tanner frowned. “Sandy… It’s you… Why are you here?”
Sandy brought the breakfast to the table without any trace of emotion on her face.” Have you forgotten
what happened last night?” ‘What happened last night…
‘Of course, I haven’t forgotten about that, but I clearly remember that the woman I came back with was
Pearl. So how did she become Sandy after last night?’
“Tan,” Sandy called his name and turned to look at him. “I waited for you all the time. I waited for you
for one whole day, and you didn’t even come back to me.”
Tanner’s lips were pursed into a single line.
“I know. You can’t touch me now because I’m pregnant, but you have your needs, so I really won’t mind
you doing what you did, but…” Sandy’s eyes turned bloodshot, but she still had a gentle smile on her
face as her eyes feared up. “But why her?”
The moment she saw Pearl in the morning, she was on the verge of having a mental breakdown. The
marks on Pearl’s neck did not only hurt her but also mocked her.
‘Tanner is mine! So how can he accept such a woman?
‘It must be because I’m pregnant.’
Tanner remained silent. Sandy walked up to him, stopped in front of him, stretched out her arms, and
hugged him. “If you don’t want this child, I can have an abortion. I don’t want to make you unhappy
because I’m pregnant, and that’s why you regret your decision and want to go back to her.
“Even though she’s not chaste or perfect, her family background is better than mine. Your family wants
you to choose the right woman because such a wife won’t embarrass you. That’s why she’s a suitable
candidate. However, you said you’re not one of those people who would listen to his family’s
arrangements blindly. You said you have your own will! You’ll choose the woman you like and won’t
admit defeat to fate!”
Sandy’s shoulders shuddered as she sobbed softly. “But you changed after I got pregnant. You’ve
become indifferent and impatient with me. I have nothing else apart from you, and I’ve given everything
to you. That’s why I’ve chosen to compromise.”
“Sandy”
“Tan, if you don’t want children, I can always abort it. Even if you can’t give me a proper identity and
status, I’ll still be willing to stay by your side and be your shady mistress.” A trace of gloom and
ruthlessness flashed across Sandy’s eyes. She refused to believe that her sugar-coated words could
not soften his heart.
Sure enough, Tanner melted with pity.
He supported her by her shoulders, glanced at the woman in front of him who was desperately in love
with him, and felt extremely guilty. “I’m sorry, Sandy. It’s not because of the child…”
There was a drop of tear hanging on Sandy’s lower lashes, which would invoke anyone’s sympathy.
“So, do you want the child?” Tanner stared at her, but the image that flashed across his mind was
Pearl’s misted and enamored expression from last night.’ Since it’s my child, then you should of course
give birth to it.” Sandy plunged into his arms. “Then will your father like this child?”
He answered absent-mindedly, “He might like it.”
At the hospital… Tanner sat on a bench in the corridor and leaned forward with his elbows propping
against his thighs as if he was thinking about something.
“Tan.” Mrs. Hannigan came out of the ward. “Your father is asking for you.”
Tanner got up and walked into the ward.
want to marry Pearl, I’ll never let that woman get married into the Hannigans as long as I’m still alive.”
