Chapter 360: I WILL HANDLE THEM ALL
Chapter 360: I WILL HANDLE THEM ALL
"So you\'re going to abort it?" Even before Dillon could stop himself, the sentence was blurted out just like that.
Right now, Dillon\'s facial expression was completely unreadable while he waited for her reply. There was a desperation in the way he phrased his words, as if he could guess what Giana\'s answer would be.
Although the woman would not answer directly, but of course Dillon knew Giana too well, even in her silence, he knew what she was thinking and what reasons she would come up with just to justify her actions.
"The current situation won\'t allow us to do this," Giana said with a choked voice. She turned her face away because she didn\'t want to gaze at Dillon too long. She couldn\'t bear to look into those eyes. "This situation is too complicated."
"So you\'re going to abort it?" Dillon repeated the same question because he didn\'t get a definite answer from Giana.
"I already told you, didn\'t I? That the current situation is too complicated, for us to do this." Giana couldn\'t even bring herself to say that she was pregnant and they couldn\'t raise a child now.
It seemed, the words \'pregnant\' and \'child\' sounded foreign to her ears and her tongue felt numb when she tried to say them.
"So, you\'re going to abort it?" This was the third time Dillon had asked this question, as Giana still refused to answer him directly.
Every second that passed, Dillon felt like he was slicing his own wrist and letting the blood drip drop by drop. Killing himself slowly.
He knew that Giana would avoid answering him because she wouldn\'t be able to say it directly, but that way, Dillon would know what Giana was really thinking or what she really wanted if her morals let her.
"I didn\'t say I would abort it!" Giana exclaimed in annoyance. She clenched her jaw hard and balled her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
Giana turned her body and faced Dillon with her stern eyes.
"You said you wouldn\'t abort it, but you didn\'t say you would keep it either," Dillon said the main point in Giana\'s sentence.
"I don\'t know what to do, okay!?" Giana became hysterical and her breathing got heavier. She felt like someone was strangling her neck now. Why didn\'t the problem she had to deal with go away? Why was the problem only getting bigger and more complicated?
In fact, if only Giana had been willing to back down and let go of her obsession, things would have been much better for her.
Too bad… Giana held onto the obsession as if it was her life itself. It was as if her life depended on it and she couldn\'t let go if she wanted to live.
Like someone who was feeling thirsty and instead drank sea water, that was how Giana felt now… she was also slowly killing herself by holding onto this endless obsession.
"Tell me what you want. What makes you not want the child… I will do everything in my power and make things a lot better for you." Dillon was still trying to keep his tone calm, even though a storm was raging inside him.
Dillon then approached Giana and kissed her forehead, holding her hand.
"We can go away from here until we wait for our child to be born. You choose where we\'re going and I\'ll take care of everything. You just need to focus on our child and I will take care of everything." Dillon reiterated every sentence, hoping Giana would take up the offer.
"It\'s not that easy," said Giana, trying not to flinch when Dillon touched her.
"This matter is very simple if you only think about it simply." Dillon tightened his grip on Giana\'s hand. "Please."
Dillon pleaded with the woman in front of him who was carrying his child, hoping that Giana would understand him a little.
"I\'m still Aidan\'s wife, the divorce isn\'t over yet. The decision over our divorce was still being processed." Giana felt a little relieved because she found a more plausible and strong reason to support her claims.
"You and Aidan\'s divorce won\'t be a problem. It was only a matter of time." Dillon then placed his index finger under Giana\'s chin, making her look up at him. "That\'s not a problem. In the end, you and he will get a divorce and after that, we can go to a place no one else knows about the two of us."
Giana gritted her teeth. "What about the company?"
"I\'ll take care of it." Dillon had always had an answer to Giana\'s every problem, but the real issue was not with the problem, but with Giana herself. "You just need to focus on our baby and I\'ll take care of everything for you."
"Why will you be in charge of the company? It\'s my company," Giana said in a cold voice. She looked too fierce when she answered Dillon, but that was only because she didn\'t know how to dodge his probing anymore.
And Dillon could see the reluctance in Giana\'s eyes. She didn\'t want the baby or himself.
"Giana, be honest with me now." Dillon then distanced himself from the woman in front of him, he took a step back and studied Giana. "Have you ever thought about starting a family with me?"
Silence.
Giana couldn\'t answer that, because she had never thought about it, nor had the thought crossed her mind, but she didn\'t have the courage to lie either.
Because, the way Dillon looked at her made her feel flustered. It was as if he was looking straight into the depths of her soul.
"Is everything you said so far about our relationship true?" asked Dillon again, his words sounding very calm, but also cold and stiff.
"Of course." Giana answered like that because she was used to answering him that way.
"Then follow my words this time."
================
Just as Lexus promised Hailee last night over the phone, he appeared in front of his brother\'s house this morning to hear the full story about what happened to Aileen yesterday and how she ended up in that sorry state. Or what actually Hailee had been doing.
There were so many questions that Lexus wanted to ask his sister-in-law, but unfortunately, before he could even enter the house, Ramon was already standing at his doorstep while Hailee was about to escort him out.
"Where are you going? Why are you leaving so early?" Lexus asked as he got out of the car, while Ramon was about to get in his car, preparing to leave.
"I have business in M city," said Ramon.
"Oh, be careful on the road then," Lexus said innocently as he waved his hand at his brother, but Ramon caught his hand and pulled him to go with him.
"Hey, what\'s this?" Lexus protested. He pulled himself free and ran behind Hailee to avoid his abusive brother.
"You\'re going to the office too, aren\'t you? I\'ll give you a ride." Ramon opened his car door, pointed inside, indicating Lexus to get in first.
However, the gesture reminded Hailee of a trainer who was telling the animal he was training to enter the cage.
"It\'s still too early to go to the office," he grumbled. "After all, I have my own car. My car is also very good. There\'s no need to hitch a ride in your car."
"Isn\'t the car still in my name?" Ramon narrowed his eyes at the sports car Lexus was driving, which was still in his name because Lexus was too lazy to take care of the name change.
After all, for Lexus, what belonged to Ramon belonged to him, and vice versa.
"You already gave it to me, you can\'t possibly take it back, can you?" Lexus scowled, he then went for Hailee\'s hand to pull her into the house, impatient to gossip.
Only, Ramon moved faster, he grabbed Lexus\'s hand first and dragged him into the car instead.
"No, no, no," Lexus protested again when his brother pulled him by force. "I still haven\'t heard the story," he said.
However, Ramon wouldn\'t let Lexus just go and his grip on his brother\'s arm only got stronger, like the tentacles of an octopus. No matter what Lexus did, he couldn\'t free himself from his older brother.
He grumbled, but didn\'t dare curse right in front of Ramon.
"I haven\'t even had breakfast yet!" Lexus exclaimed.
And those were the last words Hailee heard before Ramon closed the car door, muffling his brother\'s voice.
"I\'ll leave first," Ramon said softly to Hailee. He kissed her forehead and lips.
"Be careful on the road," Hailee replied in between their kisses.
However, the sweet moment was interrupted again when Lexus got out of the car through the door on the other side. "I don\'t want to go to the office right now."
Hailee then distanced herself from Ramon and laughed. "You have to take care of him first."
Ramon sighed in annoyance when his moment with Hailee was interrupted, he then kissed Hailee\'s lips briefly and immediately turned to look at Lexus.
"Come in," he said curtly, but it was very effective at getting his brother to obey him.
"Huhuhuhu… my brother is so mean," Lexus whined as he felt he was being treated unfairly, but didn\'t dare to go against Ramon, especially when he was being stared at like that. "I\'ll be back later tonight."
Lexus still hadn\'t given up.
