Chapter 531 Don't Ever Contact Me Again (1)
He finished speaking, and Rose was completely stunned.
She asked in disbelief, "What do you mean we won't see each other anymore? Our child is about to be born. As a father, aren't you going to watch him be born and grow up with him?"
But James's next words made her heart sink completely.
"Jessica is also pregnant. The child in her womb is the one Grandpa acknowledged and accepted as part of The Kelly Family before he passed away."
As soon as James finished speaking, Rose looked at him in disbelief, "What did you say?"
How could this be possible?
They were already divorced. How could Jessica be pregnant?
She trembled all over and said to James, "You two are divorced. You don't know who she interacts with at work every day or who she gets close to. How can you be sure this child is yours? You were married for so long, and she never got pregnant with your child. It doesn't make sense that she's pregnant now that you're divorced!"
"Rose!"
James sternly rebuked, "Watch your words. I won't allow you to slander her like that. I know exactly what kind of woman Jessica is. Her child is definitely mine."
Rose felt like the world was ending.
She had imagined that with Jessica leaving James, she could rise to the top with the child in her womb.
But she never expected that Jessica would also have James's child.
"James, you acknowledge her child, but what about me?"
Rose cried, touching her belly, and said, "I'm carrying your child. I've been through so much hardship. Are you just going to abandon us with one sentence? Jessica's child is your child, and my child is also your child! Even if it's a matter of who came first, you can't be so cruel to us!"
James tightly closed his eyes, unable to bear looking at her sorrowful appearance.
After a long time, his eyes turned cold and resolute.
He spoke in a deep voice, "I'm not here to discuss this with you; I'm here to inform you. I will give you enough compensation to ensure you and the child live without worries for the rest of your lives. But from now on, I won't see you or this child again. Of course, if you find a new love in the future, you can seek happiness anytime, and I will bless you."
Rose was stunned by his words.
She rushed over, tightly grabbing his hand, and shouted irrationally, "It must be Jessica forcing you to do this, right? You said before that you would be responsible for me and the child. I believe you're not such a heartless person! Someone must be forcing you to do this!"
James harshly pulled his hand away and said coldly, "No one is forcing me! It was wrong for me to be with you after marrying Jessica! This is my punishment from above. Rose, we can't go back. Now, I just want to live a good life with Jessica and stay with her until the child is born. If I keep you by my side, it would be too unfair to you!"
"All excuses!"
Rose cried and shouted, "You're just trying to get rid of me! James, how can you be so heartless and cruel? How am I supposed to live in this society with a child as a single woman?"
James sighed and said, "The compensation I'm giving you is enough for you to live comfortably. Just consider me dead, as if I don't exist. If you ever face any insurmountable difficulties, find Sean; he will help you."
