If she had pushed him away that day, Charles wouldn't have hated her even if he refused to accept her feelings.
However, it was too late for regrets since the incident had happened so long ago.
Moreover, she was also pregnant!
Daphne clenched her fists, barely able to control her emotions.
Logically speaking, she should have removed the child as soon as she confirmed that she was pregnant. Simply put, Daphne had to remove any repercussions from the incident that day.
After all, Charles would never allow her to give birth to the child, much less accept them.
But since she was still in love with Charles, she couldn't bear to remove the child.
Her sense of reason told her that she should have the child aborted, or the child would be born fatherless. After all, it wouldn't be fair for them. It would also be a very selfish decision to make, for she would be giving Charles an illegitimate child before he even got married.
However, she couldn't bring herself to do it since her feelings and emotions were in the way.
It had been two months since then, but she still hadn't made a decision.
As things dragged on, she no longer knew what to do.
"Daphne?" Sonia waved a hand in front of Daphne's eyes.
Daphne blinked and came to her senses, her lips quivering as she asked, "What's the matter, Chairman?"
"I should be the one asking you that. You're in a daze, and you also look very pale. Is it because of me—"
"No, that's not it." Daphne hastily waved her hands to deny. "Chairman, it's not because of you. There's just something on my mind right now, so I was a little disheartened. Um...
Chairman, may I have a few days off?"
Sonia looked at her. "A few days off?"
"Yes." Daphne lowered her gaze. "I have to make a decision about something important, so I want to rest and calm down before I do that."
"May I know what it is?" Sonia asked.
Daphne pursed her lips and did not answer.
Upon seeing that, Sonia sighed helplessly. "Alright, I won't force you if you don't want to talk. Sure, you can have a few days off. Rest well, and it's okay to come back to work after everything is settled."
"Thank you, Chairman." Daphne sighed in relief. Then, she bowed toward Sonia and bid her goodbye.
Sonia gazed at her figure and said, "Daphne, about just now..."
Daphne paused in her tracks and turned around while smiling at Sonia. "Chairman, I don't mind what happened just now, so you should let it go as well. I'm really okay."
"No matter what, I should still apologize to you." Sonia pursed her lips.
Even though she had done it out of kindness, she still did the wrong thing and hurt Daphne.
She couldn't blame anyone else for that, so she should apologize for her actions.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to sleep in peace.
Daphne also understood the guilt
Sonia was feeling, so she smiled and nodded. "Fine, apology accepted. Don’t be too hard on yourself, Chairman."
"Okay," Sonia responded.
Daphne waved and continued walking toward the entrance. She soon left the office, disappearing out of sight.
At that moment, Sonia leaned against her chair and gently rubbed her temples as she sighed inwardly.
I should really stop trying to matchmake people so carelessly.
If she failed and upset one of the parties like what happened this time, she would also be found guilty.
She stopped thinking too much about it as she put down her hands and sat upright before burying herself in her work.
In the afternoon, Sonia received a message from Grace right before the work day ended.
Grace had invited Sonia and Toby to have dinner at the Lane Residence three days later. What was more, the woman even emphasized that Sonia had to bring Toby along with her.
