Chapter 7

"Ethan, you want me to continue with our marriage and have her abort the child?"

"Or should I give up my place as the bride to her?"

Ethan grew more anxious, grabbing my hand and pleading, "Darling, can we just finish the wedding first? I'll explain everything to you properly after the ceremony, okay?"

"As for the baby Cadence is carrying, I..."

Before he could finish, Mr. and Mrs. Winters quickly chimed in.

"It's a little life after all. We can't just talk about abortion so casually."

"Scarlett, you've always been so understanding. Don't be so petty about an unborn child!"

"After this child is born, we'll raise it. We absolutely won't let this child interfere with your life with Ethan. That should be fine, right?"

It was clear that Mr. and Mrs. Winters intended to raise the child in Cadence's womb as the legitimate grandchild of the Winters family.

They didn't care about my feelings at all.
