Out of Ashes Into His Heart novel Chapter 78

Mandy instantly frowned. "Mr. White, what do you mean? Gavin and I are completely innocent—"

"Innocent?" I interrupted her with a cold sneer. "Then where did the child in your belly come from?"

Mandy instinctively placed her hands over her stomach as her expression changed slightly. "I... We were drunk that day..."

Her voice faltered momentarily as if something suddenly clicked in her mind. "If you hadn't threatened to throw Gavin out onto the street that night, none of this would've happened. When you get down to it, this is all your fault!"

"So, you're saying I made the two of you sleep together?" I replied with a mocking smile.

"You—"

"Enough!" Gavin snapped, his expression darkening as he scolded Mandy. "Stop embarrassing yourself here. Let's go!"

But Mandy wasn't having it. "Gavin, what's that supposed to mean? She's accusing us of something outrageous, and you're taking her side? Whose side are you on?"

Gavin's expression turned grim, and he pressed his lips tightly together as he remained silent, his gaze somber.

At that moment, Tom chuckled softly. His voice was calm and laced with subtle mockery as he said, "Mandy, don't worry about whose side he's on. You might want to figure out first whose child you're carrying."

Mandy's face paled. "What are you implying?"

"It means exactly what it sounds like. Think it through yourself."

Tom took my hand and led me toward the private room right as he finished speaking, ignoring Mandy's shouts behind us.
