"......" Jessie's mouth opened, unable to say anything.
Because that was really what she was planning to do.
If she had known she was pregnant early on, she would have kept it to herself and not told anyone.
Because first of all, she didn't know if her parents would be irritated if she told them.
The second thing WAS that the baby came so suddenly that she wasn't prepared for it herself, so how could she tell anyone?
Seeing that Jessie didn't say anything, Jessie's mother knew she had hit the nail on the head, and hit her shoulder twice in anger, "You ...... You're really pissing me off!"
"Alright, alright." Jessie’s father was afraid that Jessie's mother would get angry, so he hurriedly pulled her back and told her not to get angry.
Jessie's mother gasped, her chest heaving violently, "Robinson, look at your daughter, she even tried to hide such a big thing from me and you, does she treat us as parents or not?"
"Mom, don't say that." Jessie pursed her lips and said unhappily.
What did she mean she didn't think of them as parents? They were her parents, how could she not think of them as parents?
Although, it was true that when she killed herself, she didn't think about what would happen to them after her death, she knew now that she was wrong.
"Alright, don't bother with her, what's the use of bothering with her now that things are like this? The most important thing now is to ask her what her plan is about the baby." Jessie’s father said with a sigh.
Violet nodded in agreement, "Yes, ask Jessie what she plans to do with the baby."
At those words, all three of them looked at Jessie.
Jessie's hand on her belly slowly tightened up.
Jessie’s father asked in a deep voice, "Jessie, tell us honestly, what are you going to do, are you going to abort it, or keep it?"
Jessie's eyes snapped open and her body immediately straightened up, shaking her head violently and subconsciously saying, "No, it can't be aborted."
"What?" Jessie’s father frowned, "So what you're saying is that you want to keep it?"
"I ......" Jessie looked stunned.
To be honest, she hadn't thought about it either.
She simply didn't want to get rid of the baby, but if she kept it, she didn't know if it was the right thing to do or not.
After all, George didn't love her, much less knew that she was carrying his child, and even if he did, what would George do?
Given his character, given how disgusted he was with her, she was afraid he would demand that she remove the child, there was no way he would let her have his child.
So from that point on, the most desirable option for her was to get rid of the baby.
Yet the thought of taking it away made her heart ache.
Although this baby came suddenly and not the way she wanted it to come in the first place, but now that it came into her belly, it was her child, and the father was the one she loved the most, she really couldn't be ruthless and remove this child.
Seeing that Jessie was caught in a tangle and did not reply for a long time, Violet thought about it and suddenly spoke, "Jessie, in fact, in your heart, you want to keep this child more than you want to get rid of it, right?"
Jessie raised his eyes to her, his mouth opened, and she gave a small, mosquito-like yes.
Jessie's mother sighed, "Jessie, is it because this child is George's that you don't want to take it out?"
