Chapter 35 I Can Never Be Pregnant Again

 Angel had already walked to my side. Her eyes were fixed on the wrist that Matteo had just held.

"Oh, you're still here," When Matteo saw Angel, he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with his behaviour. Instead, he asked her to "Go back and rest early."

He was trying to get rid of her.

Angel wore a faint smile and nodded. "See you, then. I won't disturb the both of you."

Just as she was about to turn around, Matteo added, "Grace is my junior from college. Please take care of her."

Angel stopped and looked at me. She continued slowly, "Sure, no problem."

I had a feeling this wouldn't end well.

I agreed initially. When I got into the car, I stopped him from turning on the engine. "Mr. Adkins, we need to talk."

Matteo seemed to know what I wanted to say and wanted to respond. I raised my voice and proceeded, "I was in prison and had an abortion."
