“Pregnancy test pack? What does this mean, Lea?”

“As you can see.”

“Since when?”

“It’s been almost six weeks.”

Arthur was even more shocked, he stared at Kalea speechless. This news was completely unexpected. He grabbed the digital test pack, tried to neutralize his emotions and gave it back to Kalea. Kalea on the other hand had resigned herself to telling Arthur about her pregnancy, who knows what her sugar daddy would do after this.

“Why did you just tell me?” Arthur asked.

“...I also need time to accept this situation,” Kalea replied, turning her gaze in another direction.

Arthur sighed heavily and massaged the bridge of his nose. A sudden dizziness attacked him. “Alright, I’ll take responsibility,” Arthur broke off successfully making Kalea turn to him with a dumbfounded expression.

“What?”

.....

“That baby, I’ll take responsibility,” Arthur said once again, his eyes flicking to Kalea’s still-flat stomach.

“What do you mean by-”

“But not by marriage.”

Kalea’s initial happiness was shattered by Arthur’s statement. Kalea looked at his questioningly. “What do you mean without marriage? What kind of responsibility do you mean?”

“If you do get pregnant, I will take care of the baby until it is born and grows up,” Arthur explained. “But I can’t marry you. I won’t run away and escape responsibility especially since it’s both of our faults. But at least the baby is safe because I guarantee a life.”

Kalea stared at Arthur in disbelief, what nonsense had she just heard? Arthur was really stubborn and very obedient to his principle of not wanting to get married. Even though it was clear that Arthur had gotten her pregnant.

“But take it easy, Lea. Not only the baby, I’ll also guarantee your life,” Arthur continued with a smile. Innocently, without feeling the slightest guilt, not feeling that his words, which he might have considered a good decision, had actually made Kalea hurt.

She also knew that the responsibility Arthur was referring to was better than not considering Kalea or telling her to abort. But that was not all Kalea wanted. In Kalea’s little heart, she wanted Arthur to have the slightest feeling of love for her and then ask her to marry him.

Nope, there was no such scenario at all.

She thought that Arthur would soften a bit when he found out that she was pregnant with his child. Kalea was amazed that the man could play with people’s feelings without having the slightest feelings for the opposite sex.

Kalea was disappointed. The feelings of annoyance, disappointment, sadness, that she had been holding back were overflowing. Kalea looked down deeply, clenching her fists tightly until she finally said, “Are you going to continue like this? Playing around with so many women? Do you know that we’ve always had safe sex, but we still got caught? I’m still pregnant, can’t you learn from this mistake?” Kalea ranted at length as she looked at Arthur angrily, though her eyes were already starting to glaze over.

“That’s not it, I-”

“I’m not saying it was a mistake to have this baby, but why don’t you realize after you know you’ve impregnated a woman?!” Kalea continued, her tone even higher. All the emotions she had been holding back exploded that night.

Arthur could not contain himself anymore, he was also upset. “I’ve always obeyed the rules I made for myself. What has become my routine is not that easy to change. I realize what I’m doing, I’m sorry, Lea,” Arthur replied as he stepped closer to his sugar baby and luckily Kalea did not stop him or take a few steps back. “At least I still want to be responsible for both of your lives, I didn’t throw you away,” he continued.

“Oh, really? So you’re going to keep spreading your seed to women until your children are in every corner of the city or even abroad?” Kalea asked quite sarcastically. “Don’t you think about the future repercussions? Rules are rules, that’s your principle, and I can’t change it. But my words aren’t wrong either, right? I’m just your sugar baby, I have no right to control your life, Arthur. You don’t even listen to your family. But from the evidence that’s already there, the results that can’t be denied anymore, why can you still be this casual?”

The tears that Kalea had been holding back could no longer be contained, dripping down her cheeks. “I just don’t want this child to be without a father’s love like I feel!”

“So you want me to marry you? Just say it straight, no need to say this and that off topic,” Arthur asked matter-of-factly. “You like me, right? That’s why you’re acting like this.”

Kalea’s breath caught in her throat, tongue-tied by Arthur’s words, which were one hundred percent true. However, it did not last long.

“Yes, I like you.”

“I like you too, Lea.”

“I love you! I know our likes are not the same. I love you, more than the feeling of liking. Damn, why do I love you in the end, anyway? You’re so annoying, you have a weird attitude, you’re nice to all the women, I should hate you more!” Kalea ranted, letting her heart out in front of the person she loved. Kalea covered her face, tears streaming down her face as her heart ached from Arthur’s recent treatment.

“But seeing you not caring about me, you trying to avoid me, keeping the boundaries between us, it already makes me sure that you don’t have the same feelings as me,” Kalea continued in between her heart-wrenching sobs.

Arthur was silent, letting Kalea continue to express her feelings despite the man’s insults. It seemed to confirm Kalea’s words that he did not have any feelings for Kalea.

Heartache. Kalea’s heart was torn apart by a pack of savage wolves. Kalea resigned herself, she wiped her tears trying to find the strength to look at Arthur again.

That only made Kalea want to cry even harder because she saw the expression Arthur made. A look of guilt and as if he could do nothing but remain silent.

“Alright, I’ll follow your wishes. If you really want the responsibility of supporting me and this baby, I appreciate it,” Kalea broke off as she walked to the bed and turned off the bed lamp. “I’ll take care of this baby myself, you just need to keep the funds flowing to the two of us.”

“It doesn’t have to be that way, I can have a hand in it too since it’s both of our babies,” Arthur sulked, because it was not Arthur’s intention to make Kalea take care of the baby alone. He followed her, sitting next to Kalea who was ready to fall asleep.

“How many times have I told you not to come near! You’re really making me want to puke, Arthur,” Kalea snapped, glaring at Arthur hatefully.
