The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 266

Joe stood in front of Yvonne, smiling grimly. "Do you think I haven't changed? Do you still regard me as a worthless man? That's where you're wrong, " he said with a hint of arrogance.

"I'm not the man who I used to be. You, on the other hand, has become a woman of loose morals! You are a woman with no virtue!"

Instead of being carried away by her emotions, Yvonne suppressed her anger as she tried to sound stern. "You know what? I don't have any problem with other people talking to me like that except you. You don't have any right to talk to me that way, "

She exclaimed, trying to keep her composure.

The girl beside Joe came into view, interrupting their conversation.

"Stop trying to make a scene. I am Joe's girlfriend now, so whatever relationship you've had with him before doesn't matter anymore. Do you honestly think he'll regard you with pity if you just continue looking miserable? You wish, " she scoffed.

Yvonne couldn't help but laugh upon hearing her words. She stared at Joe, finding herself at a loss. Ignoring what the girl said, she debated whether or not she should tell him the truth. She felt incredibly hurt for receiving such a hostile treatment, so deciding what to do was incredibly hard. After a few moments of hesitation, she finally said, "Do you want to know who's the father of my baby?"

With her head lowered, she continued what she had to say. "You don't need to look any further, because the person I'm referring to is right before your very eyes."

She was desperate to know his reaction after her revelation, curious to see if he would behave differently upon knowing that he's the father of her child. She wanted him to console her so bad. She wanted him to feel guilty for what he had done, even expecting him to give her an apology.

"Are you saying that I'm the father of your baby? That's ridiculous!" Joe said, not believing anything that he just heard. "Do you really think I'll believe you after everything you've done? Who knows how many men you've slept with?" he exclaimed further.

"You really have no shame, don't you? Stop dragging my name into this!"

Filled with anger and envy, the girl standing beside Joe echoed the same sentiment. "Wow, she's really out of her mind. Is there anything special about this girl? I can't believe you've dated her before!"

Paralyzed by their insulting stares, Yvonne found it hard to find a place to hide. She just wanted to know how he'd react once she told him the truth, not expecting that he'd respond in such a way. Mortified by what happened, she berated herself for even hoping that he'd show her any mercy.

"Joe, before we broke up, I had been with you for many years. You should know that I don't have to lie about such things. The baby has died because of a miscarriage. How can you think that I made up such a story?" Joe sneered in response, feeling dismissive. Noticing Yvonne's sorrowful expression, he started to consider if there was any truth behind her words. As he recalled the days they spent together, he remembered that they didn't use any contraceptive every time they had sex, which led him to think that it might be possible that she really got pregnant.

However, now that he knew that Yvonne had an abortion accidentally, he refused to be taken advantage of.

"How do I know if you're saying the truth?" Joe asked, pausing for a while to carefully think about what he's going to say.

"You can say anything you want since the baby is gone. But how am I gonna be able to confirm this? Do you have any evidence?" he insisted, demanding proof.

"You..." Yvonne found it hard to finish her sentence, too angry to utter a single word.

The girl beside Joe looked at her unpleasantly. But she decided that she still wanted to give it a try. "You're right. I might not have any evidence because the baby is gone. You don't need to worry because you don't have to be responsible for it now. But I still want to know, what would you do if I didn't have any miscarriage?" she asked, face bathed in sweat.

"Why do you keep on insisting that Joe is the baby's father? You shouldn't be saying such a thing if you don't have any evidence.

Stop talking about such nonsense!" the girl said, her words filled with caution.

She gazed at Yvonne, looking at her impatiently as if she was afraid that she would steal Joe away from her.

Aside from being beautiful, Yvonne also came from a notable family. This diminished the girl's confidence, giving her little sense of security.

"Shut up. I wasn't talking to you. Get yourself out of here, " Yvonne said furiously.

She waited impatiently, anticipating what the girl will say in return.
