Coolest Girl in Town

Elise rummaged through Heather's belongings and found the tocolytic drugs in the bag.

"You're pregnant." Elise raised her head in Heather's direction and asked, "Is Matthew the father?"

"Why do you care? Why should I tell you?"

To Heather, Elise was only Alexander's plaything to pass the time. She's nothing to be afraid of.

"You're right. It has nothing to do with me." Putting the medications aside, Elise sat upright. "Let's talk about something to do with me. For example, where's Danny?"

"Why do you ask me?" Heather turned her head aside, not even deigning to answer the question.

"If you ever hope to see Matthew again, you'll have to be a bit more cooperative." Elise tried to convince her.

Heather sneered. "I don't care. If the price to see him is his freedom, I would rather not see him for the rest of my life."

Elise had a first-hand experience of Heather's stubbornness many years ago. It seems persuasion or reason doesn't work for her.

After studying Heather's for a while, Elise landed her gaze on the hands Heather placed around her belly.

A woman's child was her weakness.

Elise adjusted her expression before changing the topic. "You've been on the run with Matthew over the last few years. I bet you feel insecure about it."

Elise began the topic by putting herself in Heather's shoes. For the first time, Heather felt that somebody could understand her.

But she refused to give in. "What makes you think so? I'm quite happy to stay by my lover's side."

"You're right. I agree with you on that." Instead of refuting the words, Elise simply continued, "Just like me and Alexander. I used to look up at him, and I never once dreamt about becoming his lover. Well, look at me now. I always wonder what I have done to deserve him. I'll give up on everything just to be with him, and I won't regret it one bit."

At that, Raymond's eyes widened in surprise. He secretly took out his phone to record the conversation.
