Chapter 296: 276. You are not suitable to be the child’s father!

"No father, that’s fine, he has me as his mother, I will treat him well!"

Upon hearing this, Lina instinctively thought that he was trying to convince her not to have the baby again, as she was in demand and Jensen Corporation still needed her. However, she had no intention of giving up. "Fabian, you don’t need to persuade me anymore, I will definitely give birth to him!"

When he heard her response, Mario felt the urge to bang his head against a wall. How did she perceive his words as persuading her not to have the child?

Do women’s brains change when they’re pregnant?

Mario took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. The woman’s weak voice came through again: "Moreover, it’s already more than three months now. Surgery would have a huge impact on my body, so..."

"Lina, do you see me as a beast?" This time, Mario couldn’t stay calm, and his anger burst out. "Haven’t I treated you well these years?"

Lina was puzzled by his sudden rage, then shook her head blankly and said, "You’ve been good to me!"

"I must not have been good enough!" Mario chuckled sarcastically. "Otherwise, how could you think that I would not let you have a child and force you to harm your own body?"

Everyone knows the harm an abortion can cause to a woman’s body. How could she see him as such a beast?

Mario realized that his emotions were fluctuating wildly with each of her casual remarks. It seemed like her words were growing heavier on him.

Even if Lina was slow to react, she should know his true meaning by now. She quickly apologized: "Fabian, I’m sorry, I was just too nervous, please forgive me?!"

Her words became lighter and lighter, almost losing their conviction.

She was ultimately afraid of him, as she had been for years!

"Fine!" Mario’s unusually straightforward response left Lina momentarily stupefied. "Haven’t you ever thought about finding a father for the child?"

Without waiting for her answer, Mario quickly added, afraid of revealing his thoughts: "If the child doesn’t have a father, it would be bad for their growth!"

Ever since he gathered the courage to confess his love to Ivy Aretha only to be rejected on the spot, he had lost even the courage to confess. He had made his intentions quite clear, and from the moment he met her, they should have been obvious.

But to his surprise...

"There’s nothing I can do about it, I can’t possibly marry the child’s father!" Lina’s eyebrows flashed a hint of loss. "I believe that when the baby grows up, they will understand my predicament. I will do my best to give them the best life!"

Given her current worth, having a child would not harm her career!

Furthermore, she had always relied on her acting skills rather than her looks, so she firmly believed that as long as she was willing, a comeback after childbirth would not be difficult. She also believed that Mario would help her!

He didn’t listen to what she said afterward, as all his focus remained on her words: I can’t possibly marry the child’s father!

Why couldn’t she marry him?

Did she already have someone in her heart?

Or did she not forgive him for what he had done to her in the past?

He wanted to say that he was sorry, but looking at her slightly raised abdomen, he didn’t have the courage to even apologize!

"Since you can’t possibly marry the child’s father, then marry me!" Mario didn’t know why he blurted out the words he had been wanting to say for a long time, and then quickly added, "The child can’t be without a father, and besides, you can’t even get a birth certificate without getting married!"

Upon hearing this, Lina looked into his focused eyes, and the color of her eyes gradually dimmed. He really didn’t remember anything, didn’t know anything!

She had always known, but when hearing it from his mouth, her heart still ached...

"No need, as a father for the child, you’re not suitable! I love him, and I don’t want to see him struggling in a loveless marriage. I love him, and even if it hurts, having a child of his is enough for me."

She always remembered her father’s words - not to be too greedy, otherwise, she might lose everything she had now. "As for the birth certificate, I will find a way. If I really can’t, I’ll go abroad to give birth!"

There were many unmarried mothers, so a birth certificate wasn’t particularly important.

If it really came down to it, she would ask Ivy Aretha for help. In Andras City, Michael Gordon should be capable. However, she didn’t say it out loud, fearing it would hurt the man’s pride. After all, asking someone else to handle something that he couldn’t do would be a denial and mockery for him!

"Ding Dong Ding Dong!"

The consecutive sounds of WhatsApp messages pulled Mario back from the edge of his emotional breakdown. Opening the app, he saw that Ivy Aretha had sent three messages in a row: "Did you marry her yet?"

"No!"

Mario replied dully with two words and then heard the other side ask if they needed help.

He was about to say that he had been directly rejected for his marriage proposal and nobody could help when he suddenly thought of something and changed the half-typed sentence, replacing it with a simple word: "Yes!"

On the other end of the line, Ivy stared at her phone for two seconds before exclaiming to the man beside her: "Michael, the sun is rising in the west! Our senior actually wants my help!"

Michael Gordon paused while peeling an apple, leaned over to take a glance at her phone, and then casually said, "Wife, you need to rest more, stop chatting with other men’s husbands!"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

Other men’s husbands?

"Michael, our senior hasn’t married Lina yet! It’s not ethical to gloat!" Ivy Aretha said, her clear, water-like eyes flashing with mischief. "Husband, to reduce the number of your love rivals, help him out, will you?"

Ivy showed Michael a sweet smile, one so sweet it seemed to make him shudder.

"How can I help?" Michael glanced at her and fed her a piece of apple. "He’s already slept with her and got her pregnant. The raw rice has been cooked. If he still can’t marry her, Mario Jensen is destined to be a bachelor for life. He’s an incompetent man!"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

This man was clearly pouring salt on the wound, and it took her a while to realize that he was boasting!

After all, he had married her in a matter of minutes after sleeping with her and getting her pregnant.
