Calvin turned around, drawing Judy into a tight embrace. Amidst the comfort of their closeness, flashes of Elvira's stunning look flickered in his mind. With a hint of frustration, he murmured, "Who else but Elvira? I discovered today that she had been following me around. I don't know what she wants from me. I've made my stance crystal clear."

"Elvira? It appears she's still unable to move on, Judy remarked softly. "Calvin, maybe it's time we reconsider our relationship. You should go back to her. I don't want Elvira to suffer any longer." She nibbled on her lip, a sigh escaping her.

"What are you saying, my dear?" Calvin retorted. "Love isn't something you can just toss around. You are the one I love, carrying our child. I won't entertain the thought of going back to Elvira, no matter how persistent she may be," he affirmed, his tone resolute as he held Judy close.

"Calvin, I love you so much. I'm willing to give up everything to my sister except you." Judy whispered, embracing Calvin tightly.

"I'll do my best to make things right with Elvira, Calvin affirmed. "John seems interested in her, and he's a much better catch than the poor waiter she married. Did you know he even splurged on renting a luxury car just to show off? How could Elvira find true happiness with someone like that?" he said, a sense of responsibility tugging at his heartstrings. Despite their breakup, Calvin still felt a deep connection to Elvira, rooted in their shared history as childhood sweethearts.

"John Smith? He does seem like a suitable match. Handsome and from a well-off family," Judy remarked with forced cheerfulness, masking her inner turmoil. "Bringing them together would certainly ease my guilt," she added, though her heart felt heavy with dissatisfaction. As she entertained the idea, a bitter thought crossed her mind, "John might be a playboy, but he's handsome and wealthy. Elvira, you hit the jackpot."

"Well, it's settled then. If I catch her following me again, I'll confront her," Calvin agreed, a sense of relief washing over him at the thought of potentially finding a suitable partner for Elvira.

"Calvin," Judy murmured, leaning in to kiss the man before her. Her hand slowly moved down his body, gently caressing

"Judy, you're pregnant. We can't do this." Calvin insisted as he tried to stop her before it was too late.
