No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

At that moment, Haley violently shook her head, "I don't care, I want an answer from Conrad today. Are you going to marry me or not?" Conrad's jaw clenched tight. At this juncture, he could have just nodded to placate her.

But he didn't. Instead, he was brutally honest, "Haley, I said I'd compensate you, but don't expect anything more."

Even the firefighter staring at him was taken aback by his words.

Despair flickered in Haley's eyes as she yelled at him, "The compensation I want is you."

"Haley, you set me up, caused Aiden's death. I'm overlooking it only for the sake of the child," Conrad's voice was icy cold.

He was never one to be pushed around, always stubborn, a trait Jacqueline often scolded him for being a hardhead.

"The child? Always the child," Haley's hand moved to her belly, "So what am I to you all, just a means to have a child?"

"Conrad, you care about this child, don't you? If you don't agree with me now, I'll end this pregnancy myself," she said, starting to hit her belly.

My heart shuddered. Not even a beast would harm its offspring, this woman was ruthless.

Otherwise, she wouldn't repeatedly use the child as leverage.
