The child in Katie's belly was innocent. Despite the darkness in its parents’ hearts, Mitchel didn't want the child to be tainted by their scandals. He was offering them one last opportunity.

Only Katie and Abel were left behind.

Katie grew weary of her destructive outburst and slumped against the sofa.

Blood smeared Abel's face, yet he knelt with resolute strength.

"Abel, I won't have the child of someone as vile as you!" The repulsion was clear in Katie's eyes as she thought about having been intimate with Abel.

Katie kicked Abel forcefully and spat out, “You despicable bastard! How dare you touch me?"

Abel kept silent, enduring her physical outbursts.

It was only after Katie had exhausted herself from hitting Abel that Abel finally said, "Miss, I want this child."

Katie froze, her voice shaky. "What did you just say?"

Abel wiped the blood off his face, being careful not to scare Katie, and said with firm resolve, "I want this child."

"You bastard! How dare you say that? Do you think you're worthy?" As Katie raised her hand to strike again, Abel caught it.

Abel's eyes were intense, filled with a darkness and determination that took Katie back to the moment they first met.

Back then, Jayceon took Katie to the arena to choose a bodyguard where she spotted Abel.

Battling barehanded against five hyenas, Abel had just defeated the last one, his eyes blazing with determination.

Impressed by his resilience, Katie chose him on the spot.

Now, with the same old intense look Abel gave out, Katie's instincts sharpened instantly. She stood tall, her voice tinged with arrogance.

"If you want this child, there's only one way."

Abel let go of her hand and looked up at her, his voice soft. "Miss, I'll do anything for you."

Katie caressed her belly and smirked. "The child must be born as a member of Dixon family."

Abel tensed up for a moment and then murmured, “Okay.”
