Chapter 207 - Give Me One Reason Why Eleanor Has To Forgive You (2/2)

”That thing led into a huge argument. Finally, Deborah was given a choice. That she has to raise the money and pay it back in six months or she has to marry the middle-aged man. Before that, she shouldn't run or marry someone else.

”Your mother didn't tell me the troubles she was facing. I thought she was neglecting me. She knew everything about me but I don't about her. I felt useless, stupid, and unworthy to be with her.

”You know she dealt everything by herself. She managed to get six months to clear the debt. She stopped contacting me and we had less time. And the time just got lesser and lesser. And to the point, she doesn't have any time for me. We didn't contact each other in the last month of her deadline. That's when I grew suspicious and got her investigated. Only then did I get to know, she was working three jobs a day along with her regular job. Also, she did a freelancing job to make money.

”Finally fifteen days prior she made enough money to pay off the debt. She collected money from the back and was about to pay it back. But… a thief stole her money. She was trying to take loans from wherever she can. But no one is helping her.

”That was then I went to her and helped her. Even though she took it she wrote an IOU for me. I was like… I don't know but I felt hurt. Rifts… were the only things we had at that time.

”No one explained anything. I couldn't hold it anymore. I drank like a madman and talked with her. I don't remember what I said to her. But your mother came back to me and explained everything.

”She said she doesn't want to burden me or trouble me. How could helping her would be trouble or a burden? She would be my wife. How could I say anything to her? From then we made a promise whatever happens good or bad… we shall talk to each other.

”That's when we started our life. A happy life. My times with her were only the worthy times of my life.

”What I want to say is… communication is important in a relationship. We almost missed each other because of a lack of communication. And you are doing the same thing. Women are beautiful creatures. They want the person in their life to be with them all the time. And when they love someone they feel like that person belongs only to them. And their happiness and sadness everything they want to know it and be part of it.

”You did one of the biggest mistakes in your relationship by not talking things with her, by cheating on her, insulting her, asking her to get an abortion. How dare you!? Which woman would like to share the news of her pregnancy with her husband when he said the child doesn't deserve to be born just because you hate the woman? And what did you say to her… slut… a whore… and a bed warmer. You didn't even give her enough respect.

”She is right. There is love but only from her side. Not from you.

”Cedric, Now… tell me… give me one reason why Eleanor has to forgive you. She did a great job in trying to hold her emotions. A woman would never like a rape. Rape is a big insult to them and a scar that cannot be removed from their life. And you raped her. But she said nothing. She tried to not hurt you or didn't ask for an explanation. And till now… you never explained that but apologized without explaining. And even now… you said nothing and wanted her to understand you. She did once but she got hurt. Now… again, if she understands you and comes to you she is afraid that she and her child might get hurt.

”Now… if you got the answer, then rectify it rather than having your way with the things you do,” Regan said as he poured another glass of alcohol in his glass. He downed it in a go and placed the glass on the counter.

”I am leaving. I left everything there without any announcement. So, I need to clean the stuff. You stay here and think about what you should do and the reason why Eleanor has to understand you. Just tell me one reason other than saying she has your child in her womb. You are just a sperm donor. Nothing much. As the mother… she has all the rights to her child. Don't you dare involve them in this,” Regan said and got up from his seat before leaving.

He motioned Stephen with his hand. Stephen understood and was about to get the watch but he stopped in his tracks when he heard a female voice.

”Mr. Emerson, I need to talk to you.. I heard that you and your son did something that violates the law,” A woman's voice sounded in the hall.
