Chapter 22 Retelling The Past

• Harold raised Emily’s chin with a hand and looked into her eyes. “My dear, don’t be afraid. If you don’t know the father of your baby, I can be one.”
• Gaping, Emily gazed at Harold. The stranger stared back at her without blinking. He seemed serious. But how could he do that? They were practically strangers! Why did he offer her to be the father of her baby?
• As if he could read her mind, Harold said further, “I’ll marry you, so your baby will be mine. None will dare to ask you anything. As my wife, everyone will think it’s normal for you to get pregnant and give birth to my children.” He even grinned. “Jimmy, my personal doctor, even thought I was the father of the baby.”
