Chapter 891

Jessica was aware that the baby she was carrying wasn't Steven's, and it didn't sit right with her to let him take on that responsibility.

Still, she couldn't shake the yearning for the time she had shared with Casper. After all, it was Casper who had been by her side during her first childbirth.

"Couldn't you take care of me?" Jessica asked.

"Things are a bit hectic right now. And to be honest, I don't have a clue about babies. I'd probably just fumble through it and make things harder for you and the baby," Steven answered.

A sharp pang of disappointment struck Jessica. "What about when Annalise had her baby? Who was there for her then?"

"She ended up arranging for a doula herself. When she realized I wasn't showing up, she had the doula step in and handle everything."

Jessica couldn't shake the feeling that Casper had been the better man. No matter how busy he was, when it came time for her to need him, he always dropped everything and stayed with her.

"Fine, handle your stuff then. I'll take care of it myself," she replied.
