CHAPTER 23 This is her child, her life's work

• 'You want me to leave?" After a moment of recall, Stephanie got surprised by Jack's words. She couldn't believe that Jack, who acted so tough at the airport, would let her go this easily.
• 'You are the one who wanted to leave. I can't stop you." Jack smiled mockingly, his pupils dark and mysterious. 'We agreed that once you have given birth to this child, there will no longer be relations between us. I have no right to stop you right now."
• Stephanie fell silent. Indeed, she had no reason to stay. She looked back the baby, who then suddenly broke into tears as if their feelings are shared. His cry disturbed her.
