Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 215

“Pregnant? Hahaha, how is that possible? I’ve been popping birth control pills all along!” Daphne looked at Lionel a bit guiltily, “I was just curious about your private life as a fan, that’s all.”

She was taken aback. TV dramas were so misleading. In dramas, women always tried to test their men in various clever ways, but the men never understood their true intentions. In reality, before she could even attempt to test him, Lionel had already seen through her.

She quickly asked Lionel, “Have any of your past girlfriends ever had an unexpected pregnancy?”

“Yeah.” He nodded.

It felt like a needle had pierced Daphne’s heart. She muttered under her breath, “Really?”

“Not only that, there were quite a few!” Lionel said, with a hint of regret.

Hearing this, Daphne didn’t even have the nerve to ask further…

He took the initiative to say, “Among my ex-girlfriends, one had a child after getting pregnant. Another one had an abortion after an unexpected pregnancy. Yet another one got pregnant and married my friend.”

Daphne was utterly shocked.

“So… you’re…. a father of two now?” Daphne’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. She had long heard that Lionel was a playboy, but she didn’t expect his love history to be so rich! She was curious about how Lionel had managed to keep this secret under the tight scrutiny of the media.

After hearing Lionel’s words, Daphne decided that she could never let him know about her pregnancy. After all, the weak can’t fight against the strong. Once Lionel found out about her pregnancy, whether she could keep her baby may not be her decision anymore.

Lionel had only intended to joke, but he didn’t expect her to take it so seriously.

He decided to tease her some more, “Of course. If you want to be with me, you have to accept the fact that I already have two children.”

“Hahaha…” Daphne’s laughter was strained.

Lionel asked, “What’s your decision? Do you want to be my girlfriend?”

“No!” Daphne was very firm, “I don’t like men who are good in bed, but I like even less those who leave children all over.

“So you’ve concluded that I wouldn’t be responsible for you?” He raised an eyebrow, his tone a bit dangerous.

But Daphne still pressed on, “Since you didn’t take responsibility for the ex-girlfriends who got pregnant, why should I believe you would take responsibility for me? Lionel, are you doing this on purpose? Did you pursue me just to seek revenge after catching me off guard that night…”

“You have such a wild imagination, why don’t you become a scriptwriter?” Lionel responded to Daphne, “I can play the male lead for free, how about it?”

Daphne stopped talking.

Lionel lightly poked Daphne’s head, “The plot you described is quite common, but in most cases, the male lead ends up genuinely falling in love with the female lead in the process of carrying out his revenge plan.”

He explained, “I do have two children, but they are my godchildren. I mentioned earlier that one of my ex-girlfriends got pregnant unexpectedly. That ex-girlfriend was Albertine. She did get pregnant unexpectedly, but the child’s father wasn’t me. Another ex-girlfriend who got pregnant unexpectedly was Daisy, a full-time model for Chanel. You should know her.”
