This question was very straightforward, and she asked without even pause for a moment. However, Kate's hands were tightly clenched, and felt nervous.
She knew that the answer she wanted might ruin her life, but she just asked so stubbornly.
Wisdom looked at Kate in front of him. Seeing her pretending to be strong but as fragile as a lily in the rain, he suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart.
Subconsciously, he opened his mouth.
"No, I don't have any relationship with her. I don't even have any relationship with any woman."
Hearing this, Kate's tense nerves suddenly relaxed. She couldn't stand up anymore and fell straight back.
Wisdom quickly held her and looked at Kate worriedly.
She was too nervous!
In fact, Wisdom was also nervous.
His palm was already full of sweat.
Lying in his warm arms, Kate was still in a trance, but she couldn't care less. She directly grabbed Wisdom's hand and asked nervously, "You didn't have any relationship with any woman, so the baby in Megan's belly is not yours, right?"
"It's not mine."
Wisdom looked into Kate's anxious eyes and somehow told the truth.
Kate's tensed heart finally relaxed a little, but she was confused and asked, "Since she is not your child, why do you want to marry her? You know that I like you, so I want to marry you!"
Wisdom was stunned by Kate's words.
What did she mean by saying that she liked him?
She wanted to marry him?
Why didn't he know it before?
The smart brain seemed to suddenly break down. Wisdom looked at Kate in a daze, and his mind was filled with the last sentence of Kate.
Seeing Wisdom like this, Kate couldn't help but shed tears.
"Wisdom, you are an idiot!"
She pushed Wisdom away and turned to run.
"Kate!"
Wisdom wanted to chase after her, but he found that his legs were so heavy that he couldn't lift them.
After running for a while, Kate suddenly felt depressed.
What was she running for?
What was she doing here?
Kate suddenly stopped and turned around with a sudden brake. She came to Wisdom in a hurry again. She stood on tiptoe and grabbed Wisdom's collar. She asked angrily, "Do you still want to marry her?"
"Yes!"
Wisdom answered subconsciously, but the answer angered Kate.
She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "You are not allowed to marry her! You are mine! You can only marry me!"
Seeing Kate's overbearing look, Wisdom suddenly felt warm in his heart.
He caressed her head dotingly and said, "I have no choice but to marry her."
Kate was like a deflated balloon. Her bright eyes instantly dimmed, as if the whole world had lost its color.
Wisdom suddenly felt a great pain in his heart.
He grabbed Kate's hand and whispered, "The baby in Megan's belly belongs to my friend. But a few days ago, my brother went out for an archaeological examination and died. He is the only son of his family. His parents were shocked by the bad news and couldn't bear it. His mother had a heart attack, and she immediately passed away. His father had a stroke and was still in the ICU. It's okay if Megan is not pregnant, but the baby in her belly may be the only child in my friend's family, so..."
Kate immediately understood.
"So you plan to give the child a formal identity so that Megan can give birth to the child and leave a son for your brother?"
