“I want you all to understand, from this moment forward, that Rose didn’t trap

me by getting pregnant to marry me. It was I who deliberately gave her that

opportunity.

“Even if she initially didn’t plan to keep our baby, I wouldn’t have agreed to let

her go. If she hadn’t been carrying my baby, I’d have found another reason to
