Chapter: 1037

"Siena never told me about her. I only found out recently! The baby has a congenital heart disease, and Siena asked me to stay overnight at the hospital. I... I couldn't say no, but I was terrified of facing you, so I turned off my phone."

Nikolas spoke with his eyes closed, ready to accept whatever happened next.

He knew he had to face the truth, out of respect for his relationship with Aimee. He couldn't keep it from her any longer.

Either way, it felt Like the end of their relationship was coming, and... he was going to leave too.

Aimee stood there, motionless for several minutes, barely remembering to breathe.

She never expected Nikolas to hit her with this kind of news!

He and Siena had a child!

They actually had a child!

No wonder Siena said that Aimee couldn't marry Nikolas at the restaurant that day. Now it was clear why she was so confident.

"Aimee?"

Nikolas kept his eyes closed until he noticed the deafening silence that followed his words.

Aimee was like a statue in front of him, completely still and quiet.

Nikolas’ heart sank. "I'm sorry... I really didn't know!"

Aimee finally spoke, her voice steady. "Didn't you say you used protection? How could she end up pregnant?"

"I was drunk at the time. I thought I used protection, but..."

"So you're not even sure you used a condom every time you slept with someone? Siena's child was a mistake, but who's to say it won't happen again?"

In a panic, Nikolas waved his hands desperately. "I swear, it was just this once! There won't be another!"

“Stop swearing," Aimee said as she exhaled deeply and took a step back. "I'm done with your promises."

Nikolas found himself at a loss for words.

"Thank you for being honest today. Now I can walk away knowing everything." Aimee felt a strange relief that she hadn't married him.

“Anything else? Because I'm leaving."

She took a few steps back, then turned and started to walk away.

Nikolas instinctively followed her.

"Aimee! I'm sorry..."
