His Last Mistake Was Letting Me Go Chapter 04

“Evelyn, this is better for everyone. Just take the pills.”

Bianca took the abortion pills from Sienna and walked over to me. “I’ve already called in a private doctor. It’s just a medication abortion. It won’t do any lasting damage.”

For the past six years, I had done everything I could to get pregnant.

No matter how bitter the herbal tonics were, I had forced it down without complaint. Bianca knew that, and so did Adrian.

Now they were telling me to get rid of this child.

“Adrian Hale, this isn’t just my baby. It’s yours too.”

Adrian glanced at me, and the disgust in his eyes was too real to fake.

For one moment, I almost wondered if all his affection over the past six years had been nothing but an act.

Then he spoke, and I could barely believe what I was hearing.

“Only Sienna has the right to carry my child.”

He sounded so unfamiliar, as if he were not the same man who had spent countless nights praying to God for a child that belonged to both of us.

“I can sign an agreement,” I said. “I won’t let this child make any claim on your family’s assets.”

“Do you have any shame at all?” Sienna looked at me with open mockery. “Adrian doesn’t even want you anymore, and you’re still trying to have his baby?”

“That is beyond shameless.”

Bianca held the pills out to me. “Take them yourself. At least then everyone can walk away with some dignity.”

As soon as she said that, the bodyguards in the house moved closer.

The meaning was obvious. If I refused to take the pills myself, they would force me.

I had given in again and again, but they only kept pushing further.

The anger in my chest was almost impossible to suppress. I stared at Adrian, determined to get a clear answer from him.

“Adrian, I’m curious. What exactly makes Sienna so much better than me that you’d be this cruel?”

“What makes her better?” Adrian’s mother laughed. “You actually have the nerve to ask that? Do you even know who Sienna is?”

“She’s the daughter of the city’s wealthiest man. She’s the kind of woman who can take Adrian farther than you ever could.”

“What do you have that could ever compare to her? What have you done for Adrian in the past six years?”

“You’re young, yet all you know how to do is take care of your health like some delicate rich girl. You’re nothing but a country nobody from the middle of nowhere, yet anyone who didn’t know better would think you were some heiress.”

Her contempt was undisguised. “Other than spending Adrian’s money, what are you even good for?”

Bianca followed at once. “My mom may be blunt, but she’s telling the truth. You and Sienna aren’t even in the same league.”

I snapped, “Adrian Hale, who do you think got you where you are today?”

I was the one who helped him secure his first investment. I was the one who introduced him to his first client.

I helped close his company’s first major project.

Many of the major proposals that came afterward had been written by me personally.

Yes, I had spent more time taking care of my body, but I had done that because I wanted a child. It was something I had to do.

But Adrian’s success today was built on more than the road I had quietly paved for him. Even the work I had done openly had been critical to the company’s growth.

I had only avoided taking a visible role in management and development to protect his pride.

His mother glared at me. “Of course Adrian got here through his own hard work. Are you saying he relied on you?”

“Evelyn, you’re saying all this because you want to keep the baby.” Adrian finally spoke again, taking the pills from Bianca before holding them out to me.

“I will never agree to that. Take them.”

Today, I had confirmed my pregnancy, and I had been so happy. I had not wanted to fight over the divorce.

But they had trampled on my dignity step by step, and now they wanted to force me to give up my child.

They had gone too far.

I walked to the table, picked up my phone, opened the Ashford family group chat, and sent one message.
