Chapter 525

For a moment, Shelmaine was speechless. She truly was forcing herself, acting out of spite. She didn't really want to have another child—she only said it in a moment of impulsiveness after being provoked by Eliana. Samuel saw through her thoughts. "Shelly, don't act impulsively. Don't let others influence you, either. No one can control you. What I want is you." Shelmaine's eyes reddened. "Samuel, I really hate you. Why did you have to show up? All my pain comes from you!" "I'm a bastard, it's my fault. I won't let you suffer anymore. I'll treat you well." Shelmaine leaned against him, tears streaming down her face. Her emotions had been stretched taut for far too long and desperately needed release. Samuel sighed inwardly, holding her gently to comfort her. Suddenly, Tammy's cries broke through the moment. She snapped out of her daze, wiping away her tears and hurrying to check on Tammy. "I'll take care of Tammy," he said. Shelmaine nodded and went to wash her hands and face.
