Nathan froze for a moment and then sneered. “So, you’re the father of the baby, huh?”
The man looked surprised. Before he could say anything, Nathan threw a punch. The man did not hold back and hit him right back.
Nathan covered his face and shouted, “Alright, I see how it is! Everyone, come look at this pair of cheaters! This piece of trash got my girlfriend pregnant, and now, he dares to hit me!”

Beatrice saw Nathan looking distraught. Her face lit up with excitement. “Nathan! You’re back! Perfect timing! Harriet’s about to give birth, and now, you can meet the baby!”
Nathan looked at Beatrice in disbelief. “Mom? You know about the baby in her belly?”
“Of course, I know! I’ve been taking care of her since she got pregnant!” Beatrice said proudly. “Why are you crying on such a joyous occasion?
“The fortune teller told me I’m going to get a grandson!

Beatrice grew more excited with every word. She was completely unaware of how devastated Nathan looked.

Beatrice got even happier, but Nathan slapped her across the face.
“You ungrateful jerk! How dare you hit me? I’m your mother!” Beatrice reacted quickly and yelled at him.
