FakeNovelChapter 358 Shawn was having a tough go of it lately. Things at Reynolds Group were a mess, with major projects hitting one snag after another. The investment his friend had talked him into was tanking too, with partners jumping ship left and right. Shawn was swamped, buried under a mountain of meetings and obligations.
That afternoon, Kate strolled into his office. She was looking different-no makeup, no perfume, just her natural self.

But Shawn wasn't in the mood for surprises. Buried in paperwork, he barely glanced up. "Make it quick, Kate. I'm swamped." With a sly grin, Kate hopped onto the edge of his desk. "This is gonna make your day," she said, pulling out a medical report and handing it over. "You're going to be a dad, Shawn." Shawn's head snapped up, eyes fixed on the paper as he snatched it away. "What did you just say?" Kate was practically glowing, her voice trembling with excitement. "I'm pregnant, Shawn. You're going to be a father!" Shawn's face turned stone-cold in an instant. His eyes bored into the paper, and his voice was sharp. "Get rid of it. We can't have this baby." Kate's smile dropped, replaced by shock. "You can't be serious! That's our child! Why would you say something like that?" With a bitter laugh, Shawn replied, "I just don't want it, simple as that." "Shawn!" Kate slid off the desk, her finger jabbing at him angrily. "You're such a jerk!" "Don't makerepeat myself," he said, his eyes like ice. "End it." "I won't!" Kate shot back, her voice fierce. "This is my child too, and if I want to have it, I will. I can be a single mom if I have to!" "How much do you want?" Shawn asked, his tone cool and detached.
"Money?" Kate was furious. "This is your child! And you think you can just buy your way out? What kind of person are you? Even animals have more heart!" "Easy for you to say. Once it's born, you'll wantto handle it," Shawn said, his gaze hard as steel. "I don't have the bandwidth for a kid right now." Kate stood her ground, her eyes blazing with anger. "You didn't care about protection, and you promised if this happened, we'd deal with it Now you want to back out? Shawn shrugged, his eyes mocking. "You tookseriously when I was drunk?" "You're the worst kind of man!" Kate grabbed her bag and stormed out, her anger palpable.
Later that afternoon, Owens Legal Services had an unexpected guest. The young receptionist, unaware of any draing welcomed Kate politel , and showed her to the waiting room with a cup of coffee.
"Allison's in court this afternoon," the receptionist said, checking her watch. "It should be wrapping up now, so she'll be back soon. Please have a seat." Kate nodded, "Thanks." Once alone, Kate sent the pregnancy report to Shawn's mom, Helen.

Helen called back quickly. Kate let it ring a few times before picking up, taking her time. "Kate, are you really pregnant?" Helen's voice was brimming with joy and hope.
Kate tossed her hair back, a silent
smile on her lips. Then, with a feigned sob she said Yes Helen, I've ve e beem craving sour stuff, so they say it's a bby. But... Shawn doesn't want this baby... sob... sob..."
