Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 617

Laney lowered her head, shrinking under his intense gaze.

Smiling gently, Garrett straightened up and sat down next to her. He stroked her back and murmured, "Haven't you made up your mind? Take your time. If you can't figure it out on your own, you can share the burden with me. It'll be easier for two people to solve a problem than one."

Laney wondered how he could still be so calm.

She looked at him and voiced her thoughts. "You don't seem to be bothered at all."

"That's because I already know what I have to do," Garrett answered simply. "Obviously, you haven't made up your mind. But I know that you're too soft to abort the baby."

Laney glared at him. "What do you 'have to do'? Do you want me to have an abortion?"

Garrett looked at her quietly and suddenly broke into a wide grin.

He hadn't told Laney that on the way here, he had already decided on the names of the children. Yes, children. He hoped that Laney was carrying twins, even though there were never any twins in his family tree.

"Don't say that, Laney. I've never considered you or our unborn child a burden. I would never ask you to have an abortion. What I meant was that we can face this together." Garrett spoke sincerely. He seemed to want to say something more but stopped on a second thought. After thinking about it for a while, he eventually decided to say it.
