Responsible? What exactly am I responsible for? Mallia Mamet really disliked such an answer. Was her charm only worthy of George Flack treating her so casually?
"What do you mean? George, do you think I am a beggar now? Do you think I can't live without you?"
George Flack stopped. Wasn't she a beggar? If she wasn't, why keep pressing him about the issue with the child? George wasn't guilt-tripping Mallia to bear it all alone in silence, but he really felt that it was a choice she made on her own.
So George Flack pulled the car over and then squeezed out his words one by one.
"If you don't think it counts, then it doesn't, but haven't you realized the irreversible harm you've done to my life?"
When Mallia Mamet heard that, she was genuinely stunned. She used to think that this was just the way George Flack did things and that there was no need to overreact. But now, she realized that George simply had no heart for her.
