Chapter Forty-Six: Hardly Insane 

Thane’s POV

‘What if I'm pregnant?’

Lily’s words reverberate in my head like a thunderbolt.

This has to be a joke, right? An expensive one.

The news of her surprise pregnancy leaves us in shock till this very moment. I stare at her, trying to make sense of her words.

Like a con artist, she doesn't bat a lid, playing her role perfectly. This can't be true. It has to be another prank of hers, I am made to believe.

“You can't be pregnant.”

I say in a matter-of-fact tone, speaking up for the first time since she dropped the news several minutes ago.

By nature, I have the liberty to do however and whatever the heck I want, and not have any consequences, and that includes fathering a child.

“Really?” She laughs, finding my words impossible. “You think so, huh?”

“Well, young lady, I know so,” I tell her bluntly. “If you've got any plan on pinning a bastard on me, you'd better have a rethink.”

“How callous of you to refer to a child with such unworthy names!”
