"Well... I really wanted to do well. When would I ever meet a man as good as you again?"

At the same time, Ethan's insides slowly crumbled. Ellie Yeo wasn't selfish enough to ask for complete understanding in this situation. Nor was she weak enough to hide everything and get married.

It felt like a dream that just a few days ago, he had been thrilled at the thought of becoming a family with Ellie.
"You can keep it. Use me selfishly. It's okay, really."
"How can I do that? Ethan, I-"
"I'll raise it."
"Ethan!"
"If that bastard had stepped up to take responsibility in the first place, you wouldn't be here alone like this."
