CHAPTER 2018

Freyja knew that from the beginning.

She had let her feelings take over during that drunken night. Maybe it was just as her mother had said, and she didn‘t deserve to be happy. She couldn‘t leave Deedee, which became an obstacle between them. This might just be the best ending. She closed her eyes and swallo wed the pain. “Colton, I‘ll have the child.” Colton looked sullen. “What do you mean by that?” Freyja loo ked like she was drained of blood, and her smile was hollow and weak, as if she had fallen into a black hole. “You‘ll be a good father. The child will be happy if they are with you.” “Freyja Pruitt!” Colton grabbe d her tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands popped up. “If this was what you wanted, did you find it amusing to play with my feelings for the past three years?” Freyja lay on the edge of the bed while his expression was unreadable. “You would give up your own child for Deedee.

Colton placed a bag that contained her belongings next to his feet, which included her phone.” I‘m sure
