Chapter 555

She was also nervous.

But she owed her daughter a lot because she was weak before. She could no longer afford to be a coward. She had to stand in

front of her daughter in the wind and rain to protect her.

“Mom,” said Camila with red eyes.

She sniffed hard and said, “Don’t be impulsive.”

Killing people was against the law. Rowena would go to jail if she killed Jaylen. Camila feared her mom would end up in prison

because of this.

Then, Jaylen said, “I promise the child will not be harmed. | like your daughter. Once we are married, | will treat her with respect

and kindness. | promise to treat her better than Isaac did.”

Rowena was sober.

“Don't Lie to me. If you really like Mila, you will not force her, and you will not use her child to threaten her. You are selfish and

only want to get what you want. How could you say that you like her?”

Jaylen was speechless. What Rowena said was true, and he had nothing to say to rebut her.

He was not eager to elaborate and replied, “If you kill me, you will never see your grandchild again. If you kill me, you will end up

in prison, and your daughter will lose both her mother and her child. Do you think she will be too depressed and crazy?”

Rowena was in shock. What if something happened to her and Joe at the same time? What about Mila?

“We will find a way to fix this. Do not act hastily,” Camila said as she held Rowena’s hand.

Tears welled up in Rowena’s eyes as she stared at her daughter.

“I'm sorry. | couldn’t protect you and Joe well.”

“It's not your fault.” Camila carefully took the knife from Rowena’s hand and said, “I want both of you to be well.”

“Jaylen.” When Camila turned to Look at him, she said, “Since you have to do this, | will agree, but you have to promise that my

child is safe. Or | will kill you!”

“| do not want you to hate me. So do not worry. | will take good care of him. If you marry me, | will return the child to you after the

wedding.” Jaylen tidied up his messy clothes.

“| will have the date checked tomorrow. Just let me know what you need. | promise | can make you happy.”

“| do not need anything. | agree to the marriage not because | like you but because | did not want my child to get hurt. So it does

not matter to me what kind of marriage it is.” She stared at Jaylen and spoke with a cold and harsh voice.

But Jaylen did not care. He was the one who threatened her, to begin with.

“It does not matter. As long as | get you.”

Then he walked out of the house.

Rowena reached out and grasped Camila’s hand and said, “You don’t Like him. So you won't be happy with him. Besides, you

haven't divorced Isaac, right?”

“We've divorced.”
