Chapter 44 I Won’t Have Your Baby (Part One)

The next morning, Fiona got up early though she felt sore all over. She hurried as fast as she could to school, even skipping a return to the dorm room and instead going directly to the playground. Spencer was left behind, still fast asleep.

By the time she managed to rush over, some girls had already arrived. She looked around and saw Sophia waving to her. "Over here!"

Fiona ran once more, and finally, as she stood next Sophia, she struggled to catch her breath.

"Where did you go yesterday?" Sophia asked in a low voice.

"I went home." She gulped and took a huge breath. "Thank God I’m not late."

"Yeah, you’re lucky today!" Sophia smiled. "Mr. Cheng hasn’t arrived yet. This is actually the first time I got here before he did."

Fiona replied with a wordless, awkward smile.

Just then, they heard a car zooming over

"Mr. Cheng is here!"

"That’s definitely him, I recognize how the engine of his car sounds!"

"Only he drives to the playground."

Everyone started to speak. It was only until they saw Spencer pull up that all the whispering abruptly stopped.

The car screeched to a halt. He got out, greeting everybody with a scowl. Every girl turned to look at him. The band aid on his left cheek made him look a little softer and funnier, and yet he still seemed as handsome as always.

"He doesn’t seem to be in a good mood today..."

"What’s wrong with the his face?"

Fiona’s face flushed. She immediately thought back and tried to remember if she’d scratched him.

"Silence!" Spencer bellowed. "Everyone, stand upright! Count off from the first row! Now!"

"One."

"Two."

"Three."

"Four."

"Five."

"Six..."

Spencer walked around everyone with his hands clasped firmly behind his back. "I’m in a bad mood today. Be careful during training..." Anxiety made every minute feel like an hour

and an hour feel like a whole day.

Nobody knew when the practice was going to end until Spencer final

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

Looking at all the photos, Fiona felt her eyes sting as she tried to hold back tears. "Thank you, Aunt Anna. I’ll take a look at each of them carefully."

"Of course." Anna nodded. "I understand. Whichever you choose, you will be the most beautiful bride."

As he quietly listened in, there was a hint of disappointment in Spencer's eyes.

Fiona and Spencer were later invited to stay overnight. The day of planning tired them out that even the former had no qualms as they were offered only one bed to both sleep in.

After showering, she walked out of the bathroom to find Spencer sitting leisurely on the bed.

The dim light under which he read a book accentuated his strong face.

He raised his head slightly at the door creaking, and after only a cursory glance at Fiona, he continued reading his book.

Fiona breathed a little sigh of relief. She walked slowly to the other side of the bed and grabbed the pillow. "I’m going to sleep on the sofa."

Without raising his head, Spencer responded, "Sure, I don’t mind huddling with you there."

She stuttered. "You..."

"I’ll be wherever you are." He then finally looked up at her. The fresh smell of shower gel pervaded across the room. As he stared at her, he felt himself getting turned on. Perhaps it was because of the lack of sex.
