Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1090

After a pause, Goldie said to Old Master Shaw and his wife, "Now that things have already come to this, I have nowhere to go. I beg you, please marry me. I don't wish for you to love me, I don’t want anything, I just want to live."

She held herself like a lowly servant.

A crowd gathered around them. Old Master Shaw was conflicted. Finally, succumbing to pressure, he divorced his wife, then signed a marriage certificate with Goldie. After Goldie obtained the Certificate of Permitted Birth, he immediately divorced her and remarried his first wife.

Since then, Goldie lived in a house near the Shaw family mansion in South City. He had promised to pay for her living expenses every month. The amount was small but it was enough for her to live off of. She could earn a living for herself, teaching piano and drawing lessons. Maybe it was because of her desperate desire t o live, or perhaps because she was pregnant and her bodily functions had improved, or perhaps because she no longer lived like a nomad, wandering from city to city. Anyway, in the year that she was pregnant, her health improved.

To improve her labor conditions, in her fifth or sixth month of pregnancy, she would take a walk alone every day. Right till the day she gave birth, no one

stayed by her side to accompany her.

She finally gave birth. It was a girl. Since she now had a child, her desire to live grew stronger than before. She did not wish for much, she merely hoped to live for 18 more years, to raise her child.

Goldie valued her child’s life more than her own. At the same time on the other side, maybe it was because she was angered or from a myriad of reasons, the baby girl Old Master Shaw's wife gave birth to passed away not long after she was born. The baby girl had been in a poor condition since birth and was kept in the hospital for treatment purposes. But in the end, she still passed away.

Because she lost her daughter, his wife's hatred for Goldie grew.

Every month, when Goldie went to the Shaw family to ask for her living expenses, she would be cruelly insulted by his wife. From time to time, she would see Old Master Shaw, but they were like strangers.

Before her child turned one, the only time she spoke t o him was when she asked, "Can my daughter carry the Shaw family name?"

"Whatever, it's up to you!" he answered coldly.

Goldie did not care either, merely replying flatly, "I named her Gloria Shaw. From my name Goldie. What d o you think?"

"Whatever!”

Tears swam in her eyes. "You, she’s your daughter too. Don’t you...don't you want to see her? Not even a single glance?"

He laughed coldly. Then raised his hand and tightened it around her neck. "Woman! Listen! I'm not you! The child was in your body so I couldn’t force you to abort it. You insist on giving birth to her, aren’t you trying to imprison me for life?"

Gloria gasped for breath. Her face was flushed from the rush of blood, but because of his tight hands held o n her throat, she could not speak. He nearly strangled her for a minute before finally letting go.

Her complexion switched from purple to red, then to a ghostly pale, bloodless yellow. She shrank into a corner, not daring to speak any further.

Old Master Shaw continued, "You’re the one who decided to give birth to the child, so then, you have to bear all the consequences. The child did not volunteer to be born and neither did I ask you to give birth to her, yet now you want me to pity her? I have always been a man of my word! I’m not an irresponsible man, but neither am I a soft-hearted wuss! I have always been fair and just! Since I have already divorced you, I have nothing to do with you anymore!"
