Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1981

Georgie Clementine couldn’t resist smiling. “Henry, thank you for being so good to me.”

Henry Armstrong hugged her tightly in his arms. “I’ve worked so hard to make you mine. If I don't take care of you, then who should? Besides, you’ll soon be the mother of my child, and we’ll be together for the rest of our lives.”

“Like what Stanley said, if a woman has bet her entire life on a man, he shouldn’t let her down,” he added.

Georgie felt greatly touched by what she heard, but she remained silent and allowed him to continue holding her close.

“Honestly, I wasn't planning on having a child so soon. I still need to focus on my career,” she said after a while.

Alarmed, he shuddered and quickly pulled her away. “What do you mean? Don’t you want the baby?”

The baby was his, too.

His heart started to ache when he thought about how an innocent life could be taken away.

He wasn’t willing to let that happen.

Before Georgie could say more, he let out a long and helpless sigh. “Although I really want the baby, I will respect your decision. No matter what you choose to do, I'll support it, so don't worry about me.”

Henry felt his heart bleeding when he said this.

“Are you sure?” Georgie seemed shocked.

Henry had always indulged her, though she didn’t expect him to let her have her way on this matter too.

“Yeah, it’s your body. You have the right to choose if and when you want to have a child,” he explained.

That had always been his take on the matter.
