The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 743

He stammered, “Laney…you…”

Laney’s emotions were running high as she stared resolutely at Garrett and hoarsely shouted, “My baby and I will never go back to the Harding family! You’d better give up!”

Garrett tensed up instantly at the sight of Laney’s devastation.

He hurried over to her and tried to comfort her in a soft voice, “Honey, I lied to Mom just now. We can live in our own house with our child and not go back to the Harding family. Don’t worry.”

“Don’t come any closer!”

Laney clutched her chest, screaming frantically, “I don’t believe you! I can’t trust you anymore. You want to take my child from me! You’re all trying to take my child from me!”

Her tear-streaked face mirrored her suspicion and wariness toward Garrett. Despair and sadness hung around her like a palpable fog.

Garrett halted, not daring to approach her again.

This was the first time he had witnessed Laney in such agony. For once, the usually eloquent man found himself at a loss for words. He knew that no sweet nothings could console her for her pain was both physical and emotional.

Pressing his lips together, Garrett felt powerless. All he could do was reiterate his previous promise. “Honey, please believe me, okay? I won’t lie to you. Go back to your room and rest. I’ll handle everything.”

Laney, gazing at the helplessness in Garrett’s eyes, felt her heart sink.

A wave of pessimism washed over her. Reconciliation with Garrett would mean returning to the Harding family and a life without freedom.
