"Get rid of the child and we will divorce." Franklin, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth.
Lucille was surprised to hear the words that came out of his mouth. She even suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.
She wanted to divorce him before, but Franklin did not agree to it.
After that, their relationship became better. He even asked her to call him 'hubby' the day before, and he also called her 'my good wife'.
Franklin was not aware that the words 'my good wife' made her heart skip a beat, even though they were said casually.
At that moment, she had made up her mind that she would be good to him. She would be a good wife and take good care of him.
However, everything changed in a flash.
"No..." Lucille shook her head. "I don't want to get rid of it, and I don't want to get a divorce from you. There must be something wrong with this examination."
Upon hearing Lucille's words, Bianca laughed and added, "Do you not believe in science? Do you want me to tell you about the theory of vasectomy? Do you think that you did not cheat on President Moore just because you don't want to admit to it?"
"There really isn't any other man. I only have you. I gave my first time to you. Why don't you believe me?" When Lucille spoke, she tried her best to hold back her tears. She did not want others to say that she was using her tears to gain his sympathy.
However, she had never experienced such despair.
"Lucille, I thought you were simple, kind, and good at cooking. Thus, I wanted to have a good time with you. I did not expect that you are the best liar I've ever seen. You pretended to be genuine and had me confused."
"I did not lie to you..."
"Did not lie to me?" Franklin looked at her and asked, "Do you know why I did this operation? It's because I knew that your family borrowed money using your identity behind my back. I actually thought that this matter had nothing to do with you. Now that I think about it, it was actually me who is naTve."
"I can't believe that I believed you were a pure-hearted woman," he spat.
Franklin had completely lost trust in Lucille.
"Then... How about this. Let me give birth to the child. If the child is not yours, you can do whatever you want. You can divorce me or sue me. Is that okay?"
It really was hers and Franklin's child.
Since he did not believe it, she would prove it to him!
"What did you say? You want to give birth to this illegitimate child?" Franklin suddenly laughed and his thin lips curved into a strange smile. "You think I have a good temper, don't you?"
He took a few steps forward and looked down at Lucille. The day before, he felt that her face was pleasing to the eye, but now it was disgusting no matter how he looked at her!
"It's really your child. You have to believe me."
"Believe that you cheated on me?"
"No! What can I do to make you believe me? After the child is born, it will prove everything." Lucille was anxious. "If this child was not yours, I would be eager to get rid of it, but since I dare to give birth, it's because I have a clear conscience!"
Lucille looked at Franklin and did not have any intention to retreat.
She must hold on to this child!
Franklin nodded as soon as he heard that. "Okay, you can give birth to him, but we will get a divorce first."
"Okay!"
Lucille agreed without hesitation.
It did not matter if Franklin did not want to remarry then. At least she would still have this child.
Franklin was a little surprised when faced with Lucille's seemingly unhesitating consent. He said, "Let's go. Since the Civil Affairs Bureau has not closed yet, we will sign the agreement today."
"Okay."
Lucille followed behind him, and her mood was complicated.
Her mood fluctuated between joy and sadness.
She was scared. For a playboy like Franklin, he might fall in love with another woman while she was pregnant...
