"My mom told you to get pregnant! It was my mom who told you to poke a hole in the condom! My mom made you do this..." Wesley's expression darkened, and he turned to walk toward the door.
He needed to find his mother. If it was indeed his mother who had pressured Shea into getting pregnant, he would risk alienating his family if it meant stopping Shea from making a mistake.
"Wesley!" Shea hurried toward him and stood in his path. "Don't go to your mom... She has nothing to do with this. I want to have your baby... I want to repay—"
"I don't need repayment!" Wesley finally lost his temper. "If you married me to repay me, we are going to get a divorce right now!" "No... I don't want a divorce..." Shea threw herself at him and wailed. "Wesley, you have your wishes and dreams, and so do I! My dream is to give you a baby, and if I can't fulfill it, I will regret it for the rest of my life..."
Avery and Elliot exited the Brooks' mansion and got into the car.
Avery stared at Elliot's face. Her heart ached when she noticed the tears in his
eyes.
"Elliot, don’t be upset. I will talk to Shea." She desperately wanted to give him a hug.
"She won't listen. She is more stubborn than anyone I know when she wants to be," Elliot said in a hoarse voice. He started the engine and drove out of the compound. "I will send you home." "What about you?" "I still have work, so I might get home late tonight." Today was a busy day for Elliot, and he had had to leave his work unfinished when Wesley had called him.
"Stop the car, then. I will drive home myself. I want to spend some more time with Shea."
He gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, before stopping the car.
Avery got out and watched as the car disappeared into the distance, before turning back toward the mansion.
