Chapter 34 coming my love

Maxwell's face reddened as he felt the heat of the moment. He knew that what he had done was wrong, but he had only wanted to save her life. He was adamant that his intentions had been pure and that there was no need for her to compare him to her ex-husband, Zick. He was far better than Zick, and that was why he wanted to marry her and raise their child together.

"Melissa," Maxwell said firmly, "I understand that what I did was wrong and that I should have told the truth sooner, but the doctor warned me that telling you the news might upset you and put your life in danger. That is why I chose to keep it from you." He spoke with conviction, intensifying that his intentions had been good and that she should not doubt him.
