After My Boyfriend Dumped Me, He Ended Up Begging on the Streets novel Chapter 7

"I'm your…"

He wanted to say something, but the words just wouldn't come out.

I smirked at him, my tone dripping with sarcasm.

"What? Say it."

"Who are you to question me?"

"Nora's boyfriend? Or my boss?"

"Zoe, do you have to be this aggressive?"

"You weren't like this before."

His expression was complicated, and after a pause, that's all he could say.

"Caleb, get it straight—you don't get to define who I am!"

I let out a cold laugh and turned back toward the clinic. He followed after me.

"Zoe, if you keep the baby, I'll marry you."

He grabbed my wrist, his face unreadable, as if he were making some huge sacrifice.

"Don't bother."

"I'm not keeping the baby, and I sure as hell am not marrying you."

"And remember what you said—the baby's not yours."

"You wouldn't want to be raising someone else's kid, would you?"

I slapped his hand away and walked out of the hospital.

I knew something had gone wrong.

It had to be the card.

Otherwise, Nora wouldn't have found out I spent money, and Caleb wouldn't have known I was at the hospital.

Back home, I booked another appointment at a different clinic and paid with my own card.

This time, everything went smoothly.

A month passed, and I had fully recovered.

On the day I was discharged, Lila called me.

"Zoe! Let's go out! There are hot guys here!"

She sounded way too excited.

I was about to turn her down when I spotted Caleb standing outside my apartment.

"I'll be there."

I hung up, turned around, and headed straight for a cab.

I didn't notice the pair of eyes tracking my every move.

When I got to the bar, I felt a little awkward.

Sure, there were hot guys, but why was Ryan here?
