Chapter 1039: Chapter 1031: Facing the Truth 3

Although she was very angry and emotionally charged, at this moment, her mind was exceptionally clear.

A child cannot be without a father...

This sentence hit her heart like a heavy punch. She looked blankly at everyone in the room, seeing a hint of sympathy in their eyes.

Why would they feel sympathy?

She was already going to marry the man she loved and give birth to twins. This was something that made many people envious...

Jay Caldwell took another step toward her, "Shirley."

Rochelle Lee screamed in rage like a madwoman, "Don’t come over!"

Jay Caldwell dared not move. He genuinely liked this girl, both in the past and now; nothing had changed.

He never intended to hurt her; it’s just that at the time, he couldn’t control his emotions.

Even this time, he hadn’t expected things to develop this way.

"Shirley, listen to my explanation."

Rochelle Lee glared at him, "Are you trying to destroy my happiness, ruin my life, and only stop when I’m dead?"

Jay Caldwell quickly shook his head and comforted her, "I didn’t, don’t be upset. I absolutely didn’t mean that. Shirley, can you calm down? Just for the sake of our child."

Upon hearing this, the color almost completely drained from Rochelle Lee’s face.

If she misheard the first sentence, then what about this one?

She mumbled with confusion, "Our child?"

Tiana Thorne suddenly felt sympathy seeing her like this. Jay Caldwell truly was her disaster.

"That night at The Crestmont Hotel, the person you were supposed to meet was actually me."

After hearing this, Rochelle Lee didn’t speak, only felt her mind buzzing, looking at him incredulously.

After a while, she asked again for confirmation, "What did you say?"

"I was the one who, using Aiden Shaw’s name, asked you to come to the hotel. I just wanted to see you, talk to you, and apologize face to face for what happened back then. Shirley... I’m sorry, it’s just that at the time, I really didn’t know how to face you."

Hearing these words, Rochelle Lee only felt her temples pounding incessantly, as if experiencing a nightmare from which she desperately wanted to awaken.

She closed her eyes and opened them again to find the same people in the room, Jay Caldwell still looking at her with apology and tension in his eyes.

She staggered several steps backward, muttering to herself, "Impossible, impossible..."

"If I had asked you directly, you definitely wouldn’t come out. I had no choice. But I also didn’t expect things to turn out this way. Shirley, back then... I couldn’t refuse you. Now I know I was wrong. Give me a chance to make amends for you, okay?"

Rochelle Lee recalled everything from that night, tears welling up.

She closed the curtains and turned off the lights in the room, wearing only a thin layer of nightwear.

She thought he was expressing his feelings to her, showing through actions that he would be with her.

All night long, she was reluctant to sleep; he was too.

In silence until dawn, he was gone, and she felt panicked but didn’t want to cling too tightly to him, fearing it might repel him.

She cautiously protected this hard-won affection, only to find that it was merely her own wishful fantasy and mistaken identity.
