I winced. “What, you want me to pop out an heir for the Jordan family?”
His entire face burned with fury. “You had the nerve to do this, but you’re afraid of having a kid?”
“You’re hurting me!” I tried to pry his fingers off, but he was too pissed to notice. So, I made something up and said, “Of course,
I’d love to give birth to a Jordan heir. But I took antibiotics for a cold a few days ago.”
I gave him a pointed look and continued, “What, you think I’d get pregnant just to blackmail you?”
His gaze turned icy. “You wish, you greedy woman.”
I rolled my eyes. “Oh, please. If you didn’t want it, I couldn’t have forced you.‘

He looked furious, and I thought he would storm out. Instead, he slammed the guest room door shut.
Hah. I guessed he did keep his promises.
And suddenly, I felt kind of guilty.

Back in high school, Yannick was the kind of guy everyone liked–warm, easygoing, and always ready with a joke.
His family moved into the villa next door right when my world fell apart. My parents were in the middle of a messy divorce, and one day, they just… left. No goodbye, no explanations–they were just gone.
I sat on the doorstep, crying quietly. I was too proud to sob out loud. That was when he walked over, handed me a tissue, and, for
some reason, a piece of candy. That was just how he was.
Later, he transferred to my school. We were in the same grade but in different classes. And from the moment he showed up, he became the top student and never let go of this spot.
At the time, I was struggling. I had been left behind, so I was angry and depressed.
But Yannick? He showed up every day–bringing me lunch, helping me with homework, and keeping me company.
Eventually, he introduced me to his parents. Jordan and Louisa were wonderful, kind, and welcoming. They were a real family.
Especially Louisa. Whenever she went shopping, she would pick out clothes for me like it was the most normal thing in the world.
Then, she would make Yannick drop them off at my place.
I felt awkward about it at first, but she would just smile and pat my shoulder. “Yulia, don’t overthink it. I’ve always wanted a
daughter, and I feel a special bond with you. If I see something that suits you, of course, I’m going to buy it.”
One time, when Yannick was walking me home, he laughed while ruffling my hair. “My mom just likes you, so take the gifts and
stop overanalyzing everything.”
And that was that.
