By admin Let Our Love Stay Buried Novel Ch 8
Collin not only received the court summons, but he also got a copy of my abortion records.
He called me like a madman.
However, I blocked him.
After that, the messages kept pouring in.
“Jane, pick up the phone!
“I was drunk that night. I didn’t know what I was doing!
“Please, let’s talk. Give me a chance.
“Ronan keeps asking for you. Can you really bear that?”
Reading those messages, I felt oddly calm.

“Jean and I… It was only that one time.
“She left me for her career before. This time she came back for money, and I finally saw her for what she is.

“Please.” Collin’s voice trembled, and then he actually dropped to one knee.
I had never seen him like this.
Was I moved? Maybe for a second. However, the moment passed quickly because with the loss of that child, all my old patience and softness had gone too.
I looked at him and said quietly, “Mr. Whelan, have you ever heard that late affection is worthless.
“Also, our babysitting contract? It’s expired.”
