Hailey pulled back her hand, looking calmly at Yeager.
"What I care about isn't that you've had past lovers, but that you weren't honest with me."
Just like her ex-husband, he was good at putting on a facade. Only this time, the man she met was even more cunning than Austin. If it wasn't for the anonymous phone number that sent her those photos and voice recordings, she would still believe Yeager was innocent.
She also saw herself clearly. She was not only easily fooled by men, but also acted without thinking. Fortunately, once she saw the true face of the other party, she would decisively leave.
"Yeager, you have a child with your ex-girlfriend. No matter what, you have to be responsible for her. Your mother doesn't like me, and you only care about me because you couldn't have me when you were young. It's not that you really like me. It's better for both of us to break up."
Hailey was giving Yeager face, not saying anything too definitive, nor losing her temper like when she was suing Austin. She simply stood up, picked up her phone from the table, turned around, and left after calmly stating her piece.
As she reached the elevator, about to press the button, Yeager suddenly rushed over and held her tightly from behind.
"Hailey, don't break up with me. I'll give Bernice a large amount of child support and cut her off completely. I won't let my parents interfere in our affairs anymore. After we get married, we'll settle down in our home country. I won't make you go abroad with me. I'll solve all the problems you're worried about, as long as you don't leave me..."
To be honest, Yeager's solution was somewhat attractive. If it was a woman who was easily moved, she might be swayed by him.
But Hailey saw through everything. She thought Yeager was very cruel. A woman who had silently given birth to his child, and he could say he would cut her off and even just give her a sum of child support, and then never contact her again. How is this father different from the parents who abandoned her?
Once, Hailey believed that Yeager merely had a few flaws. Now, however, she realized that their values were fundamentally at odds. If she forgave him again, believed him again, it would only suggest that she hadn't been hurt enough.
