How would he face the woman who is carrying his child?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You are engaged. Take good care of your fianc\u00e9e.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I say coldly and walk out.<\/p>\n<p>However, I can&#8217;t help but sigh in my heart.<\/p>\n<p>Is this the man I once liked? It&#8217;s different from my memory.<\/p>\n<p>Long-term affection is good, but he fails to move on in spite of getting engaged. And that&#8217;s fake romance.<\/p>\n<p>My arm is suddenly grabbed by someone.<\/p>\n<p>I hear Noah&#8217;s questioning voice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t want to get back with me. Is it because of Frances, or are you still a mistress?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mistress?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an offensive word. Noah is being judgmental as he looks at me. Frances and I are married now, but I still feel ashamed when I hear what Noah says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let go. It has nothing to do with you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I say coldly, losing my patience.<\/p>\n<p>If Noah is not my old lover, I would have been angry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You are his lover. Why don&#8217;t you be my lover too? I&#8217;m rich now, and I can give you whatever you want!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Noah looks at me and says expectantly.<\/p>\n<p>I feel like cutting open his head and see if his brain is working.<\/p>\n<p>How could he say that?<\/p>\n<p>Just as I am about to lose my temper, I hear a familiar deep voice from behind.<\/p>\n<p>He lowers his head and looks at me fondly. He smiles complacently at Noah and says leisurely, &#8220;You are destined to be disappointed. What she wants is me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>My heart misses a beat when I hear that.<\/p>\n<p>Frances is right, what I want is him. I don&#8217;t care about other things at all.<\/p>\n<p>I flush as he guesses my thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>Noah is astounded. His eyes are filled with despair, but he continues to ask.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jane, is it true?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes.&#8221; I nod firmly. I look at Frances with a bright smile.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love him. All I want is him. Besides, Noah, I&#8217;m already married to Frances. You should move on. Don&#8217;t let down the woman.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t love her at all. My mother forces me to marry her!
