Chapter 74 It Wasn't My Intention For Not Saving You

"Everleigh, don't get me wrong. I don't mean anything else." William retreated his hand and explained, "I know it's rude, but please give me a chance. I apologize to you and your children on Erica's behalf. I have so many things to say to you, Everleigh! Had you not left the country so suddenly, I'd have..."

"I'm sorry, William. I have nothing to say to you."

Everleigh interrupted William, her face sullen. She walked past William and was about to leave.

"You went abroad because you were pregnant, am I right?"

William's voice came from behind Everleigh, stopping her footsteps. She clenched her fists before turning and fixing her astonished eyes at William.

William took two steps forward and continued, "You are Dr. Harrison's prized student and you were going to pursue a doctorate under him. Anyone would have thought it sounded fishy when you suddenly applied to study abroad. However, I understood everything when I saw your kids today. You left the country back then because you were pregnant, correct?"

Everleigh clenched her fists tighter, but she did not deny William's claim. She blurted, "How is that any of your concern?"

Knowing both Adrienne and Alastair' ages and with a little investigation, anyone could discover that she had left the country because of her pregnancy. In fact, she had decided not to hide the truth from anyone ever since she had decided to return home.

"My guess is that it has nothing to do with Stainley, right?" William started taunting Everleigh.

Everleigh's face darkened and she uttered, "As I said, this has nothing to do with you. Now, I still have matters..."

"You don't know who the father is, right?"

Everleigh stared at William in surprise, and her intuition told her that something was wrong.

William seemed to be deep in his thoughts before he finally said, "I saw it that night." "What do you mean?"

"That rainy night."

Every single word from William's remark beat heavily on Everleigh's eardrums before they exploded in her mind.
