Remorse After Breaking Up novel Chapter 19

Sebastian swiftly wrapped his arms around her from behind.

"Let go of me," Lillian pleaded. Her attempts to break free were in vain as Sebastian pressed her down onto the couch.

"No, please, I beg you," she implored.

"I can compromise on anything, but not this," Sebastian said firmly.

Women could be indulged, but not spoiled. Not allowing physical contact was simply unacceptable to him.

"I'm pregnant." Lillian resorted to her trump card in desperation.

Sebastian paused before his anger flared. "Lillian, now I understand why you rushed into marriage. You're just trying to shift responsibility onto me!"

"Don't be ridiculous! You're the only one I've been with. The child is yours," Lillian retorted, pushing Sebastian away in frustration.

"Are you really pregnant? Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?" Sebastian inquired.

"I didn't go to the hospital. I bought a pregnancy test from the pharmacy," Lillian replied coldly.

"Come, let me check your pulse," Sebastian offered.

Lillian didn't refuse. She knew Sebastian's medical skills were remarkable.

After checking her pulse, Sebastian showed a look of realization.

Lillian wasn't pregnant. She was experiencing some symptoms of anemia and hormonal imbalance, which could have led to a false positive on the test.

"Okay. For now, steer clear of spicy and oily foods," Sebastian advised, then quickly turned away, struggling to suppress his amusement.

Just as they were about to leave for the pharmacy, Lillian's phone rang. She glanced at it and rejected the call.

"Who was that? Why didn't you answer?" Sebastian asked curiously.

Lillian hesitated before replying honestly, "It was my mom. I think I need to tell you the truth. Steven's family is at my house. He came to propose to me. My grandfather and parents have agreed to it."

Sebastian pretended to have a sudden realization. "Ah, so you're just using me to avoid marrying him? That's why you rushed into marrying me."

"If you regret it, we can get a divorce," Lillian suggested.
