Karen stared into his eyes, and it was clear this was no joke.
"I can't possibly marry you!"
"And who do you want to marry?" Jeffrey's face darkened with a sudden and terrifying shift. "Karen, I don't want to lay a finger on Levi."
"Don't you dare touch him!" she blurted out, instantly seeing the flames of rage in his eyes intensify, so she quickly added, "This whole situation has nothing to do with him! Don't drag innocent people into this! I never liked him, okay? You've already beaten him up, so just leave him alone."
Never liked him.
Jeffrey clung to those words.
He let his harsh gaze soften, now looking at her with a mix of adoration and warmth. "Alright, I'll listen to you! How about I carry you to breakfast, huh?"
"No," Karen shook her head vehemently, "Jeffrey, I want to go back to my parents' house. Can you take me there, please?"
"No."
Jeffrey's response was immediate and unwavering, "I'll go back with you after our baby is six months old. Today, we'll just head to the city hall to get our marriage license, and then I'll give you back your phone."
He was so frightening, as if he had turned into someone else entirely!
"Jeffrey, can't you just stop this, please?"
Karen collapsed onto the bed, eyes welling up with fear.
Jeffrey reached out to wipe away the tears that threatened to escape and said, "Darling, as long as you're obedient and stay with me, I'll do anything you want."
"I don't want to go to city hall, and I don't want to keep this baby!"
"I know you're scared of the pain, so whether it's a boy or a girl, we'll just have this one," Jeffrey kissed the corner of her eye. "Don't reject me. I don't want to lose my mind with you."
Just like he had the night before.
He didn't want that.
