Chapter 408: The 387th is not marrying her, it’s marrying you!

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

In her imagination, the man’s familiar voice didn’t immediately follow, and all his movements on top of her stopped. A pair of profound peach blossom eyes stared at her intently, shining brightly under the vast night sky.

Half a moment later, the man chuckled.

"If I were to give you a check and ask you to abort the baby, what would you do?"

The casual, carefree voice in the quiet night sky sounded especially magnetic, with a hint of laughter and warm feelings that seeped straight into Ivy Aretha’s heart.

Ivy’s heart tightened, her body stiffening in the man’s embrace. Although she had thought about this possibility several times before—after all, the unexpected accident had happened between two people without any feelings for each other—no man would let a woman who had only spent one night with him have his child!

She kept telling herself not to care about his thoughts at that time. She had even told herself that no matter what his answer was, she would remain calm, and then let it go. But now that the moment had arrived, Ivy found that she couldn’t stay calm at all!

All reason was scattered by the inexplicable anger in her mind. In the next moment, before she could even react, her actions were already one step ahead of her thoughts!

Her habitual slap went straight towards Michael Gordon’s face without a sound...

The crisp sound of a slap she imagined didn’t happen, and as Ivy tried to apply more force, she found her wrist restrained, unable to move. Looking up, she saw her wrist being held by the man, his dark eyes staring at her with a teasing smile.

"Wife, do you really think your husband is that kind of person?" Michael Gordon looked at her with a smile, squinting his eyes, "Or is it that you trust your husband too much, that you believe whatever he says?"

"Even so, you should listen carefully and figure out whether it’s a question or a statement!"

"Michael Gordon, don’t play word games with me. With that statement about giving me a check to have an abortion, I should slap you on behalf of our precious daughter!"

After some thought, this was the only reason Ivy Aretha could come up with for slapping him: for this matter, her slap was on behalf of their daughter!

She had no right to blame him, but his daughter did!

"But wife, don’t you think that’s a very affectionate and doubtful question?" Michael Gordon brought Ivy’s captured hand to his lips and gently kissed it, "At least I’m a man who loves you more than I love our child, and it just so happens that it proves I married you because I love you, not because Bianca is my daughter!"

As soon as the words fell, Ivy’s heart was twisted, her mind suddenly empty. His words... solved the one question that she cared about the most!

All along, she had thought that the reason he married her was firstly because Bianca was his daughter. It was to fulfill his fatherly duties and to make up for the wrongs he had done to her!

And now he was telling her that he married her because he loved her, not because she had given him a daughter!

This answer still shocked her!

However, in the next moment, after Michael Gordon spoke seriously, this answer was overturned: "Wife, rest assured, the man you married is responsible and trustworthy. If I hadn’t lost my memory back then and knew you were pregnant, I wouldn’t have let you suffer so much with a child!"

"Michael Gordon can sleep with a woman, and naturally, he can marry her as well. Until now, I still don’t believe that the previous me was a man who casually slept around with women!"

Michael Gordon embraced the woman in his arms, burying her head deep in his chest, letting her stay quietly against his heart, listening to the sound of his heartbeat. "Rest assured, I won’t let a woman have an abortion for my own sake and hurt my own life. I, Michael Gordon, can’t do that!"

How much damage an abortion can do to a woman is something everyone, whether a man or a woman, knows. The reason Michael Gordon can look down on others and walk with ease on the road of life is because he has the ability to face the sky and the ground with confidence and responsibility!

"You mean, if you hadn’t lost your memory, you would still have married the woman who spent the night with you and had your child?"

Ivy Aretha widened her eyes incredulously, as this result was something she had never expected.

"Wife, no, not marry her, marry you!" Michael Gordon casually corrected, not feeling the least bit that Ivy’s words were that incredible, but rather, it was a very normal thing.

"Oh, marry me!" Ivy Aretha muttered a little dazedly, following his words for a moment, then frowned and asked him, "So that means if you hadn’t lost your memory, you would have married me six years ago because of a one-night stand and a child?"

In other words, if she hadn’t smashed his head with a wine bottle that year, they might have become husband and wife six years ago because of Bianca!

But that’s not it either. If it weren’t for her having knocked him out six years ago, he would have definitely forced her to take a morning-after pill after sleeping with her. It’s very normal for him to know a little about contraception. She suddenly wanted to know what happened next in this hypothetical scenario.

But before she could think about how to ask, the man’s low, resolute voice settled in her ears: "Wife, what I want to say is, if I hadn’t lost my memory, I would have fallen in love with you six years ago and made you mine!"

Recently, under Lucas Sandy’s new treatment plan, many of her scattered memories from the past have returned. However, they were often about insignificant people or events. However, her intuition told her that this woman named Ivy Aretha must have been important in his life, otherwise, she wouldn’t be so special!

Interest was sparked with just one meeting, and he couldn’t let go with just one touch!

Six years ago?

A distant memory so far away that it had almost expelled the most important person in her life from her existence.

"Perhaps!"

Had it been her former self, Ivy Aretha would never have believed Michael Gordon’s sweet talk. But now that she had experienced so much, she began to somewhat believe his words, "However, it doesn’t matter anymore. I won’t bring up the past ever again, knowing that you love me now and treat me well is enough!"

The more you focus on, the more you want, and the less you can get. One needs to learn to be content in life.

"But, wife, after saying all this, are you going to satisfy my wish today or not?" Mr. Gordon felt wronged as the conversation had been steered away from his request by his wife.
