Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Her own situation was still bleak. But her child deserved the best once it was born.

Unfortunately, her financial status wasn't ready to give birth at the moment. She wasn't mentally prepared to bear a child either.

Aside from this, she couldn't accept who the biological father of the baby was. It was obvious that she clearly despised him.

"I didn't force you with anything. You said it out of your own accord." Thompson made a gesture with his hands on the air, but deep inside his heart was filled with glee.

Alice had made the right decision of giving up the baby. He didn't love Alice and had no plans of being a father yet. He was just fooling around after all. Why would he be taking her seriously?

"By the way, I have a friend who wants to meet you," he said. The way the corner of his mouth curled up to form a smirk gave Alice the impression that the man was up to something.

She raised an eyebrow at him. Did he honestly see her as a slut? Judging from Thompson's expression, she definitely knew that something was fishy.

"What do you mean?" she asked nervously.

"There's no need to be nervous. I think you are acquainted with him as well. You might have already met each other before, and he wants to see you again now. Actually, he wants to get to know you better."

Looking at the man's scheming expression, Alice felt as if the hairs on the back of her neck stood up.

She silently took in a deep breath, careful not to let Thompson notice that she was trying to calm her nerves. Although his statement was clear, she couldn't help but doubt how simple it was to make an acquaintance.

He was clearly trying to build a bridge between her and his friend. It was a good thing that Alice didn't have the urge to give birth to the baby. She would have definitely been filled with regret when the time came.

Especially now, she was clearly aware of the vile nature of the man in front of her. He was a hopeless case, and she didn't bother relying on him anymore. However, she didn't expect him to be so shameless to the point of acting like a total scum.

"No, thanks. I'm not interested," she snapped. There was a tiny bit of horror in her eyes as she slightly shifted her position backwards from where she sat on the sofa.

Thompson's eyes twinkled with interest. It seemed like Alice wasn't entirely what he had thought she would be.
