Everyone was silent.
Only Tammy harrumphed and said, "You men are all jerks!"
Ben was provoked by that. "How can you say that?"
"I heard that you got Lilith pregnant, yet you don't want to bear the responsibility. Is that right?" Tammy shut Ben up. "I pity Lilith for meeting a huge jerk like you."
Jun nudged her with his elbows, asking her to stop talking.
"He is a jerk, yet you don’t let me call him out on it? Even if Elliot was here, I would scold him right in his face!" Tammy joined them that day so that she could take her anger out on Ben.
"I never said that I wouldn't care for Lilith! I went to look for her, she said that she had already found another guy to take her in! What else can I say? Was I going to fight it out with the other guy? How ridiculous!" Ben raised his glass and downed it in one go.
Chad immediately poured him more wine.
"Then you should properly reflect on why Lilith would rather spend time with the other guy than with you. It's because you're a jerk!" Tammy hit the nail right on the head.
Ben's eyes reddened. He was baffled by the scolding.
"Although I have never seen Lilith before, Avery told me that Lilith is a pitiful girl. No one has cared for her since she was young. Now, as long as you treat her a little better, she would be very obedient," Tammy said," You must have treated her badly!"
Ben could not explain himself. "So, what should I do to treat her well? Marry her? I can't do it! She and I are from two different worlds..."
"Then, why are you wallowing in misery? Let Lilith be with the other guy! You don’t have to bear any responsibilities. When the child is born, it will have nothing to do with you." Tammy blinked. "Or is it that you don’t want Lilith, but you want the child?"
