Grant froze, then lay back down, telling them everything. Hearing the IVF thing and the so–called alpha duty, Grant’s parents shook their heads in disappointment.
“Grant, you’re a smart kid. Why would you do that?”
He didn’t answer but cried silently. He didn’t why, either. He had thought that Rosie would never leave him.
His mother felt sorry for him and started complaining.“You may have done something wrong, but you’re suffering all this because of her! She’s to blame!”
Grant wanted to protest, but he didn’t know hat to say. The truth was, Rosie didn’t even come to visit him.
Wanda clutched the arm of Grant’s mother, looking terrified.
“Baby… Auntie, my pup!”
That stunned everyone. Grant asked, “What baby?”
He never slept with her. How could she be pregnant?
“Two weeks ago, I asked the doctor to take out the sperm you left in the hospital and then had IVF. Grant, I just want a baby with you…”
Wanda’s pale face reminded Grant’s parents how Grant just pushed her. They took her to the doctor, leaving Grant alone with confusion.
The baby was his? If she had the baby, would Rosie ever forgive him? He decided to ask Wanda to have an abortion.
But he failed. He couldn’t get rid of the baby or Wanda.
“Mom, Dad, I’m not marrying her. I can’t get hard for her. I had no feelings.”
Grant refused. His parents felt helpless.
Grant knew they were doing this for him, but he wasn’t ready to give up on Rosie. He was so close to marrying me. Why would things turn out like this?
How could he accept this?
