Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us!

Selena gawked at Pierre. So he wasn’t the one who planned the wedding.

Meanwhile, he shrugged. “Basically, that was my only option.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“But why must you do this? You’re thirty years old! Joaquin and Jameson are both four years old already! You’re bound to get married to Meredith anyway, so what difference does the timing make? Why do you need to go to such lengths?” By having his subordinates pretend to be his enemy in order to stir up a ruckus, he had wasted all the money spent on the wedding preparations. Furthermore, it wouldn’t have been worth the risk if anybody got hurt during the operation.

“I never thought of marrying her.”

His confession made her jaw drop. Why would he impregnate her if he never wanted to marry her? Glowering at him, she spat, “You douchebag!”

Although she didn’t like Meredith, she pitied her for having gone through the same experience as her. “Instead of impregnating her, you should have reined your sex-drive in if you didn’t want to get married! You’re utterly scum for not wanting her after you’ve slept with her, and you even have two sons now!” She made sure to emphasize on calling him out as scum, as she figured that he was nothing else if not that.

However, Pierre seemed unfazed about it. “I was also a victim.”

“How is that possible?” Rolling her eyes, she figured that the word scum wouldn’t even come close to describing him now.

“I was also drugged during the night when we had sex. I wasn’t conscious of my actions, so I never got to know the state which she was in; I don’t know whether she did it willingly or not. In the end, she chose to give birth to both children without my knowledge.”

Upon hearing that, she shut her mouth. Although she didn’t know whether Meredith had given her consent, or was she forced to have sex with Pierre, she knew Meredith loved him. Despite being a generally obedient girl, she drew the line when it came to Pierre. She would never allow anybody to badmouth him. Back when they were younger, nobody took her love toward him seriously, nor did the Yards ever think of forging marital ties with the Fowlers.

Selena figured that perhaps Meredith realized belatedly that she had slept with Pierre, as well as knowing that he might have wanted to shrug the responsibility altogether. Therefore, after she was confirmed to be pregnant, she gave birth to the child without his knowledge in order to force him to take responsibility. That should be how things had gone down, she thought to herself.

“She chose to keep her pregnancy and give birth to the children, so she should be responsible for her own actions since she’s a grown up. Of course, I am the children’s father, so in exchange for the pain she suffered, she got the rewards she deserved. It is only fair that she got to where she is now in the entertainment industry, as well as obtaining that amount of wealth. After all, it’s an equivalent exchange. The only thing that ties us together is the fact that she gave birth to my children. Other than that, we have nothing to do with each other.”

Selena saw no logical flaw in his narration. Theoretically speaking, he was in the right, as it was Meredith who chose to give birth to the children, which in turn provided her with what she wished for in exchange. However, she couldn’t help but feel that the concept was rather cruel. Does he see everything as mere transactions?

Seeing that she was hesitating, he pulled her into his arms while sitting down beside her. On the other hand, she held her shirt together in reflex. “What do you think about becoming my woman?”

His eyes were as deep as a bottomless well that was mesmerizing to look at, so she couldn’t help but stare in silence. Right after he told me about his relationship with Meredith, as well as his resolve to never marry her, he asked me if I would like to marry him. What does he mean by that?
