David Benington withdrew his hand, his eyes filled with mockery and anger. He slapped a cup off the desk to the floor, stood up, and glared at Annie Lawrence with rage-filled eyes. Between clenched teeth, he spat out, "Is your concern for me just a trick with a fake pregnancy?"
"What fake..." Initially, Annie didn't understand and tried to defend herself. But after a few seconds, her face suddenly changed, and her eyes widened in shock.
"David, you..."
She was too surprised to think straight.
She was rendered speechless for a moment.
David's feelings for her had initially started in bed, mostly physical.
The reason he broke up with Joanna Lawrence and chose to be with her, even planning to marry her, was all because of the child in her womb.
Now, the child was gone.
Fury at being deceived made him feel nothing but disgust and hatred for Annie at this moment.
