Morrison raised his head and finally spoke up. “If you don't want to tell us, you don't have to. Laura, you can leave."

Turning around, Laura said, “Morrison, give me some time—"

“It's pointless. You know how stubborn he is. You can't force him to speak."

Aldrin's gaze went from Morrison, then back to Laura.

As if puzzle pieces were falling in place, his eyes widened and he asked sharply, "You and him..."

"We're married," Morrison answered.

Aldrin was stunned.

The fire in his eyes was slowly fading, leaving behind shock and disbelief.

Laura's voice was gentle as she spoke. "It's true. We are married. He is... He is the father of my baby."

"Ha ha..." Aldrin laughed ironically.

"As long as it's not Forrest."

He wouldn't be able to accept it if Laura and Forrest were still together, not after everything Forrest and his family had done to hurt her.

If Laura had still forgiven Forrest... Aldrin would never be able to stomach that.

He looked at Morrison.

E} his uniform, he looked dependable and righteous.

He exuded a sense of security.

As Aldrin looked at him, he slowly understood why Laura chose him.

In the end, it was not him.

ALL that he wanted and all that he desired...

None of them became his.
