Chapter150.

Leland’s eyes flooded with tears, his voice thick with anguish.”No, Kay, don’t be so cruel. You know I love you. I can’t live without you!”

“Then die if you can’t live.” The words struck him, his expression one of utter disbelief.

“Kay, after fifteen years of facing everything together, I made just one mistake. Why are you being so cruel and ruthless? Even if you hate me, why go this far?”

A cold, humorless laugh escaped me.

Allen moved efficiently, beginning to usher the onlookers out of the hotel.

I turned my gaze back to Leland, my voice slow and deliberate.”Who was truly ruthless-me or you? You knew how deeply we loved each other, yet you still went behind my back with another woman, hurting me deeply.”

Leland drew a deep, pained breath, his face contorted.”I… I just wanted Caitlyn to have the baby and then give it to you to raise. I didn’t want you to have to go through the pain of childbirth. I love you… I only saw Caitlyn as a plaything. I didn’t want you to…”

“Humph!” I scoffed.”Leland, what gave you the right to assume I’d happily raise another woman’s child? How could you be so sure I wouldn’t want our

child?

Leland shook his head, his face a mask of utter exhaustion. He reached out, weakly trying to grasp my hand, but I snatched it back, churning with disgust.

“Kay!” The name was torn from his throat, choked with emotion.”I’m sorry… I just wanted to give you the best. I never thought it would hurt you like this. It’s all my fault. Please give me another chance. Okay?”
