Chapter: 1039

In her heart, Aimee didn't hold Nikolas in complete contempt; her disgust ebbed slightly.

She chose not to speak harshly after their breakup.

His admission today showed his confusion back then. Even if he considered hiding it, he ultimately chose transparency.

Thus, she didn't blame him, accepting that he had only just Learned of the child.

But...

Her own child might never be known by Nikolas.

Aimee wouldn't act like Siena. She had Bethany's example to guide her!

Furthermore, Bethany's courage to have two children with Jonathan stemmed from her certainty in loving only him, with no room for another. Aimee, however, was different.

She didn't love Nikolas so deeply that she had to give birth to the baby for him.

Cutting their losses was the best outcome for both of them.

Nikolas began, but Aimee cut him off, "You can go now. I don't blame you. We're adults; we must accept the consequences of our choices. Since I agreed to be with you, I can't fault anyone else for the outcome. You sought pleasure with Siena, so now you need to take responsibility for her and your daughter."

“Aimee, I'm moving away from Odonset. You won't have to worry about me anymore."

"Okay." Aimee nodded, her expression unreadable.

This reaction was even more disheartening.

“Don't you... have anything else to say to me?" Nikolas pleaded.

Every time he saw her, he feared it might be the last, so he cherished every moment.

"No."

"Then tell me the truth... Were you considering getting back together with me just now?" Nikolas finally asked.

Aimee lowered her eyes and pursed her Lips.

"Does it matter?"

"Yes! I need to know."

Aimee paused, then spoke candidly. "Maybe yes, maybe no. I hadn't decided yet."

But now, her mind was made up.

“You still don't want to leave me, do you?"
