The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) novel Chapter 440

The Manipulation 

MARY’S POV: 

Alistair’s face remained ghostly pale, his strong jaw clamped shut tight. He looked exactly like a cornered man who had completely run out of good options to protect his public image.

However, the cold calculation never once left his eyes. He was always thinking ahead, always planning his next move, and constantly finding a way to twist every bad situation to his own advantage.

Even now, with his own mother standing face–to–face with him in total confrontation, his mind was actively searching for a new angle to exploit. 

“Mom, I know you are extremely angry with me right now,” he spoke up, his voice dropping into a smooth, entirely reasonable tone.

“But you have to remember that there is an innocent unborn child involved in this situation who will be severely hurt by the public scandal. I am simply trying my best to find the only logical solution to protect everyone involved. All I am asking is for Mary to step forward and acknowledge the open marriage agreement publicly.” 

My heart sank instantly into a deep, dark pit. 

I felt it drop right into the bottom of my stomach like a heavy piece of ice, cold and agonizingly heavy.
