All Chapters of I Saw the Comments and Ran Away Pregnant: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Landon Pierce stood in the doorway, drenched from head to toe, looking painfully like a golden retriever that had been left out in the rain.The scrolling comments still lingered in my mind."Spoiled brat.""Billionaire heiress.""Liar.""Pregnant.""Kill her.""The child gets abused."My knees felt weak.Under normal circumstances, I would've snatched the cherries from his hands, called him a useless idiot a few more times, eaten the entire box myself, and told him to sleep on the couch.But today, I didn't dare.I took a deep breath, my voice coming out a little strained."Go change out of those wet clothes first."Landon visibly froze. He probably expected another round of insults.He held out the box of cherries awkwardly."I wasn't trying to ignore you earlier. I just wanted to finish a few more deliveries so I could earn enough to buy these for you..."My gaze dropped to his hands, pale and wrinkled from hours in the rain.My heart sank.For the past year, I'd yelled at him and p

No.I couldn't just sit around and wait for my fate.The comments said I'd use the baby to make a scene and cling to him desperately. Then I simply wouldn't.I needed to find a way to survive.And I needed to protect this child.However, once Landon regained his memories, would he still be kind to the woman who had lied to him?I sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought, and suddenly remembered the things I'd said to him before."You're useless.""I must've been blind to end up with you.""You'll never be able to afford a house in your life."Back then, he'd only fallen silent.Then he'd worked even harder—taking on more construction jobs and making delivery runs whenever he could.I pressed a hand against my chest.It hurt.That afternoon, I forced myself out to buy groceries and tried learning how to cook.Landon had always been the one who cooked when he got home from work.I'd barely set foot in the kitchen.After two hours of trial and error, I ended up with a tray of burnt ro

I bit my lip and said nothing.Selena glanced around the apartment again before letting out a mocking laugh."You've been letting him live in a place like this? Supporting you with construction jobs?"She looked at me with open disdain."Miss Stone, not only are you not good enough for him, you've made him suffer all this time. If you had even a shred of decency, you'd disappear on your own."She held out a check."Buy yourself a flight ticket. Go wherever you want. Just don't come back."I didn't take it.Selena set the check on the table."You took care of Landon for six months. On behalf of the Pierce family, thank you."Her gaze hardened."But some fantasies need to end."She stepped closer and lowered her voice."Don't fool yourself. The first thing he'll investigate after recovering his memories is that lie about the fifty thousand dollars. You know exactly what you did."My entire body stiffened."Leave, and I'll give you another one hundred thousand dollars. That should keep yo

"Still treated you so well?"A bitter smile crossed his face."Carol, you've got a terrible temper. You yell, you complain, and every other day you're telling me to get lost."His gaze softened."But you never actually left. I worked construction jobs, delivered food, and lived in a tiny apartment. You complained about all of it, but you stayed. And..."He paused."You changed, didn't you? You canceled the cherries. You tried to learn how to cook. You kept saying you hated seeing me work so hard."His eyes met mine."That wasn't an act, was it?"Tears poured down my face."But I used to hit you...""You never hit me." He brushed a hand through my hair. "You threw pillows at me and yanked my ear once in a while."A faint smile tugged at his lips."It hurt, but I survived."[AHHHH! He knew the whole time!][This is what a real billionaire daddy looks like!][I'm crying! They're perfect together!][Carol, just tell him the truth already! Stop lying to him!]I cried so hard I couldn't spea

Every night, Landon came to check on me.Whenever he found me asleep at my desk, he'd carry me to bed.One night, I woke up and found him still sitting beside me, quietly watching."Why aren't you asleep?" I mumbled, still half-dreaming."I'm watching you."His voice was soft."Did you ever watch me like this back in the apartment?"I thought about it.Back then, I'd often wake up in the middle of the night and find him curled up at the edge of the bed, afraid of taking up too much space.At the time, I'd always thought the same thing.How could someone be so foolish?Only now did I realize the fool had been me."Landon."I reached for his hand."When I used to yell at you and treat you badly... did you ever think about leaving me?"He considered the question."No.""Why not?""Because you only had me."He looked at me steadily."You told me your mother passed away when you were young. You said your father remarried and stopped caring about you."His grip tightened slightly around mine
