"I know why you did what you did that night. I know about your illness and I know that you are pregnant with my child. That is why I am not letting you out of my sight, ever again." Lorcan stated firmly.
And for a moment there, Lydia became speechless until a tear dropped from her eyes. That's when she found a word to say, "You...you are pitying me..." Lydia stuttered but still managed to say the words making Lorcan antsier.
"Of course, I'm not! I'm in love with you Lydia for heaven's sake, don't you get it?! I'm in love with you and always have been!" Lorcan could not believe that Lydia thought that he wanted her back because he just pities her. Did he sound like he pities her?
Lydia shook her head and avoided his gaze. "I don't understand. You are saying that you love me, then why did you push me away?" She asked, her grip on her sketchpad tightened.
