How could this happen? Why did it happen? "Zayn, we shouldn't be together anymore. I can't change your parents' mindset. Besides, you already have a fiancée, and our child is gone..." Mia wiped away her tears, looking utterly shattered. Anyone who saw her would pity her.
Zayn's face turned pale in an instant. He abruptly stood up and grasped Mia's hand. "Don't say that. Please don't. I won't marry anyone else, and I won't be engaged to anyone else.

Closing her tablet, Angela turned to Mia. "Do you feel better now?" Mia gave her a faint smile. "Whether I feel better or not doesn't really matter. I can't break up with him just yet. If I do, his mother will go all out against me, and I won't be able to handle it.

Angela nodded approvingly. "Not bad. As long as you know what to do." Mia suddenly asked, "What about you?" Angela was caught off guard. "What about me? I'm doing just fine."

"I'm talking about you and Dexter. What exactly is going or between you two? Even as an outsider, I can tell he's deeply in love with you.

Angela was speechless.
