She could clearly feel that the man was no longer as easily fooled as before.

�You�re pregnant with my brother�s child. That�s his only descendant. For the sake of his bloodline, Renee could only compromise unconditionally.�

Stefan�s eyes were sharp and piercing. �You use this to usurp Renee from the position that rightfully belonged to her. You think this is fair?�

�� ��

Briar lowered her head and had no reply.

�If you had simply kept to yourself, I wouldn�t have said anything, and you could get everything that you want. Unfortunately� you�re too greedy, too malicious. I won�t let you do as you please anymore!�

Stefan was utterly disappointed with Briar.

He could not figure out how his excellent and upright elder brother could have fallen for a woman like her and even had a child with her. Even before he died, his last words to Stefan were to take care of Briar and their child�

�Enough talking. Just go!�

Stefan finished speaking and got up to leave.

Briar cried and blocked his path. �You misunderstood me, Stefan! I�m not greedy! I just want to give birth to Tristan�s baby safely and give him a legitimate identity! It was your idea to divorce Miss Renee and marry me! How come in the end, it�s all my

Briar�s words made Stefan fall silent.

He suddenly wondered, if there was no Briar and no baby, would he have divorced Renee?

He probably would have. After all, the marriage between him and Renee was only a contractual marriage. There was no love between them. A divorce was probably only a matter of time.

�Stefan, I know I�ve made a mistake. I promise you I�ll behave myself from now on. I�ll stay far away from Miss Renee. All I want is to be with you and raise Tristan�s only child well. Please, give me another chance.�

Briar grabbed Stefan�s arm and begged hard.

�The baby will be born in a few months. Do you really want him to come into this world in hiding as an illegitimate child? Do you want him to have no father, no legal identity?�

Briar�s round of questioning made Stefan frown.

His looked coldly at Briar�s slightly bulging stomach. In the end, he relented. �We�ll talk again after the baby is born!�

�Okay. I trust you, Stefan. I�ll do whatever you ask of me!� JrNovels.com
