Chapter 34
Dad snorted coldly. “What else could it be? You and Eric already have a baby together. We must lurry up and have the wedding. Otherwise, once your belly starts to show, we’ll have to postpone it.
“You make your mother and me worry all the time. Look at the trouble you’ve caused. Did you even consider whether we could handle it?”
I had assumed that they called me home to interrogate me about my situation with Eric. I had no idea they were planning a wedding for me

was momentarily stunned as well. He leaned in close and whispered in my ear, “Your parents are more open–minded than I initially thought.”

I subtly glared at him. “Mom, Dad, it’s a misunderstanding. I’m not pregnant,” I helplessly explained.
“If you’re not pregnant, why were you using a pregnancy test kit?” Jack collly sneered, cutting me off.

Eric tightened his grip around my hand. “Mrs. Brown, don’t worry. I definitely won’t let Jane down,” he reassured her with genuine sincerity.
