---- 14 After being thrown out, Kieran stood outside the Winters Pack estate all night, just like when we were in college. No amount of persuasion could move him. Back then, I would blush and hurry past him with lowered eyes when I left for morning study sessions. Now, I never appeared before him at all. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he drove away at high speed. When Scarlett saw Kieran appearing at her door early in the morning, she felt both excited and terrified, only daring to speak tentatively. "Kieran, did you come to see me and the baby?" Kieran nodded. Scarlett excitedly welcomed him inside and immediately began pulling down her straps. She remembered how much Kieran loved when ---- she took the initiative. Kieran sneered coldly, picking up a water glass from the table and producing a pill. "Swallow this! " Scarlett stared at Kieran in horror, shaking her head frantically. "Kieran, what kind of pill is this? I don't want to take medicine." Kieran gripped her jaw, forcing the pill into her mouth without explanation. "T told you-you're not worthy of bearing my children!" Scarlett tried to use his grandfather as protection. "But Grandfather already acknowledged this child. Aren't you afraid he'll blame you?" Kieran looked up, the coldness in his eyes making Scarlett tremble all over. "Don't try to pressure me with my grandfather! In my heart, no one is more important than Aria." "T gave you chances. You should never- ---- absolutely never-have provoked Aria. This is the price you pay." "As long as the child in your belly exists, Aria will never forgive me." "you caused Aria to leave me. I'm making your child leave you. It's perfectly fair." He ruthlessly pried open Scarlett's mouth and roughly forced the medicine down. Scarlett's face turned deathly pale as she desperately begged him. She pleaded for him to spare their child, but Kieran remained unmoved until he watched her swallow every bit of the pill. Only then did he release his grip. Scarlett collapsed to the floor in despair. Even the child in her belly couldn't win him back-her carefully plotted bargaining chip was useless. Scarlett closed her eyes in despair, then suddenly laughed coldly.
