Joyce instantly understood that she and Luther had never been divorced.
Charlotte couldn't take the pressure anymore.
As Joyce saw how she was kneeling and also kowtowing, Joyce felt so embarrassed.
"Charlotte, get up and we can talk. You shouldn't think about it. It's not good for the baby in your belly." Joyce advised, "I know what you mean. Too many accidents happened some time ago, I was not able to divorce Luther in time, I know it has caused you trouble, and I am sorry. But you don't have to get down on your knees to me, it was my responsibility."
"Hurry up and get up, it's not nice to be seen. Let's sit down and talk, shall we?"
"No, I can feel that his attitude towards me has changed, and I worry every day that he will change his mind. I can't sleep every day. He said..." she cried, "He swore to me, said he loved me, swore he would marry me, and I gave him everything. We also … had this child. But now, I am so worried that he will change his mind. I am afraid he will abandon me and not want me and the child in my womb."
Charlotte couldn't stop crying and her eyes were swollen like walnuts.
Joyce took out a tissue to wipe her tears, but the more she wiped, the more she cried.
"Joyce, I can't live without this baby." Charlotte moved forward on her knees, hugging Joyce's legs as if she was afraid, and refusing to let go.
"The doctor said that my uterus was in a bad condition when I had the child and if I don’t give birth to this baby, perhaps I won’t have another chance. I want this baby. I want this child, and I can't live without this child. I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have asked you for something like this, everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness, but I'm really scared. Ugh." Charlotte cried and cried, and in the end she could barely breathe.
Joyce squatted down and sighed as she subconsciously stroked the small of her back.
Who would have known that she was actually pregnant as well?
Charlotte worried that her child would be born without a father.
But her child was the one destined to be born without a father.
