Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 823 Signing The Divorce Agreement

Seething with anger, Kate looked at Derrick and said, “Say something, Derrick. Crystal is pregnant with your child. You can’t be an irresponsible coward.”

He turned to Tiffany, but she lowered her head and refused to spare him even a glance. It was as though an invisible wall now stood between them, and Derrick sank into despair. Crystal and the baby she’s carrying are destined to form an insurmountable gulf between Tiffany and me.

“Mom, I love Tiff. She and I will have children together,” he declared. In other words, he would not acknowledge any child by any other woman as his unless Tiffany was the one who gave birth to the child.

Crystal subconsciously covered her stomach. All of a sudden, I feel as though I’m an utter fool. I went through great pains to conceive Derrick’s baby. However, no one from his family accepts the child apart from his mother, who gave me her word. Since I’m a Halliwell, I thought they’d surely be thrilled about the pregnancy and begin preparing for a wedding. Yet, I’m only a hot potato in their eyes. What’s so great about Tiffany that Derrick’s grandfather would choose to side with her at the last minute?

Resentment bubbled within her. Despite everything she had done, a few words from Terrence were all it took to send her back to square one.

No, I refuse to take this lying down. I did everything to get this far, by fair means or foul. I’m only one step away from being part of the Hisson family and regaining my rightful place. No matter what, there’s no way I’m giving up.

“Derrick, that’s not what you said when you slept with me the other day. You said I’m the one who understands you best, while Tiffany only knows how to ask you for this and that. I know one shouldn’t believe what men say in bed, but I did. I never expected you’d refuse to acknowledge this child as your own. Forget it. If you don’t want to accept the baby as yours, so be it. However, I’m still going to go through with this pregnancy. This baby is the fruit of our union. If I can’t have you, at least I can have this child to remember you by,” Crystal said in an aggrieved tone.

I doubt they won’t find the child’s presence annoying. As long as I have the baby, it’ll create an unbreakable bond with Derrick, and he and I will be bound to remain in contact. My goal is to make sure Tiffany never feels at ease. The three of us will remain entangled with each other for the rest of our lives unless someone bows out voluntarily. Regardless, I know that person won’t be me. Ultimately, Derrick and I will be fated to be a couple because we’ll have a child tying us together.

After figuring that out in her head, Crystal became calm and composed.

With this child, the Hissons will have to acknowledge the child and me sooner or later.

Derrick clenched his fists, but his gaze fell upon Tiffany.

That time, it seemed as though she finally had some response. She raised her head, but it was only to look toward Alex and say, “Mr. Feltham, did you bring the divorce agreement? Would you mind handing it to Mr. Hisson? We can leave after he has signed them. There’s too much tension in the air here.”
