Noticing how serious she was, Jonathan and Caitlin exchanged glances before letting out helpless sighs in response.
"You can go a head keep the baby since you've made up your mind on the matter.I just hope you'll live up to those words and not end up regretting it in the future,, " Jonathan said.
Joyce nodded confidently.
"I won't regret it!"
I'm an adult now! I know what I'm doing! I didn't just make this decision on a whim.I have thought long and hard before deciding to keep this baby! Caitlin shot her a glance and said, "All right, then.You may keep the child.Just make sure you take good care of him”
"I will! Thanks, Mom! Thanks, Dad!" Joyce replied with tears of joy in her eyes.
Natalie gave her a pat on the head.
"Congratulations, Joyce.You're going to be a mother soon!"
Joyce flashed her a smile.
"Thanks, Nat!"
Natalie then kept her company until it was dark out before Shane came over with the kids to pick her up.On the way back to the hotel, Natalie tugged at Shane's sleeve and said, "Joyce has decided to keep the baby.."
"Just as I had expected"
Shane replied while continuing to swipe at his tablet.Natalie arched an eyebrow at him.
"You anticipated that all along?"
"Kind of.Joyce has loved Stanley for over ten years now, and she never stopped loving him even after he hurt her countless times.Her feelings for him has gone far beyond love.If anything, it's more like an obsession and feelings of indignance.Her unrequited love and efforts are preventing her from moving on, but this baby is the key that will set her free,, " Shane said calmly.
Natalie tilted her head in confusion.
"Huh? What do you mean by that?"
"Like I said, Joyce has become hopelessly obsessed with Stanley because he didn't reciprocate her love.Now that Stanley has provided her with a child, Joyce is able to let go of her obsession toward him.."
Shane then put his tablet down as he continued, "This child has allowed her to understand that her efforts over the past ten years weren't in vain.Her love for Stanley may not have blossomed like she wanted, but it did bear fruit.."
