Chapter 238

Norah’s face froze in shock.

Steven calmly hung up the phone, his expression unshaken. He had made this decision long ago, knowing he needed to take a chance. If he didn’t, he might never have the opportunity again.

“Steven, what are you doing?” Norah exclaimed, her voice laced with disbelief. “The baby isn’t yours! Why would you claim that?”

Steven looked her straight in the eye, his tone firm yet gentle. “I’m sorry, Norah. I made this decision on my own. But I believe this is the only way to put an end to everything.”

Her brows furrowed as she stared at him, worry evident in her expression. “But what about you? The baby isn’t yours, and yet you’re claiming to be the father. That’s not fair to you!”

Steven shook his head, smiling faintly. “Fairness? Norah, life isn’t always fair. You do what feels right. I don’t care what people say about me. If I lived my life worrying about others’ opinions, how could I ever be happy? Please, don’t concern yourself with me. Besides…” He paused, his voice softening, “…I see it as a privilege.”
