Chapter 148 Stop Deceiving Yourself

Zachary was staring straight at her.

He seemed so pitiful, so wronged, much like an abandoned dog.

A slight shiver ran through Lenora's heart. She was almost beguiled by his demeanor.

Ironically, it was he who had first suggested divorce.

The person he loves isn't me at all

The person he's fond of is Susanna.

She didn't want to continue this entanglement with him just because of their child.

Lenora lowered her gaze. "This has nothing to do with whether or not you're the CEO of Fuller Group."

"All I have now is you and our child." Suddenly. Zachary embraced her, resting his head on her abdomen, his expression was tender and affectionate like never before. This scene was something she had yearned for countless times in the past. The person she used to be would have given anything for this moment.

But now, her heart was as still as a tranquil lake.

Zachary wouldn't be fond of her, and she wouldn't make the same mistake again.

"Once the child is born, you're welcome to visit them often."

Zachary abruptly stiffened, suddenly lifting his gaze to Lenora. "What are you implying? Are you saying you still want to divorce me after the child is born?"

Before Lenora could respond, Zachary abruptly stood up. "You expect my child to call Jonas "Dad?"

"What does this have to do with Jonas? I can take care of the child myself."

A pang

of pain struck Lenora's heart, causing her complexion to turn slightly pale.

"Or are you planning to find the child a stepfather? Zachary stared intently at her, his gaze burning. "How much genuine affection can he have for a child that's not his own?"

Lenora held a knot of frustration in her heart, yet she managed to respond, "So, you don't want to divorce me because of the child I'm carrying? If that's the case, once the child is older, you can take over their upbringing

Zachary's expression shifted, and his gaze darkened. "You'd rather give up our child than stay married to me? Do you despise me that much?"

her gaze and nodded. "I despise you, and you don't like me either.
