The Bound Between Us

Chapter 1022

Autumn's words made Mr. Walker's jaw drop. He let out a humorless laugh. "You expect me to believe you were just looking after Devin? Alone, the two of you, in a hotel room? Autumn, do you take me for a complete idiot?"

His anger was boiling over-this was his wife, the woman he'd always protected, standing here spouting some righteous nonsense and acting in ways he could hardly even grasp.

Tears welled up in Autumn's eyes. She looked at Mr. Walker, hurt and wronged, but there was a stubborn spark in her gaze. "If that's really what you think if you honestly can't trust me-then I've got nothing left to say. Just let our child come into this world without a father."

That hit Mr. Walker like a punch to the gut.

Autumn refused to back down, wouldn't admit a thing, and instead tossed all the blame back onto him. "If you insist on thinking that way, I have nothing to say"—it was the ultimate line, and she delivered it like a pro.

When she brought up their unborn child, Mr. Walker's temper snapped again. He pointed at Autumn's belly, his voice icy. "And how do I even know if that baby's mine?"

The second he said it, Autumn exploded. She snatched the glass off the table and hurled it, rage flashing in her eyes-she was even angrier than he was. "Mr. Walker, insult me all you want, don't believe me if you must, but don't you dare question this child! Am I really that worthless to you? You want to humiliate me like this? This is the Walker family's own blood! If I've lied about any of this, may I never know peace!"
