Chapter 1452
Wasn't that just classic scumbag behavior? Even though it was an unexpected pregnancy, the woman clearly stated that she was willing to have an abortion and treat it like nothing had happened. Logically speaking, shouldn't that be the best outcome for Charles? Yet, he not only prevented her from doing so but also made her carry the child to term. And to make matters worse, he didn't even give the woman or his child a proper identity. Did Charles not realize how harmful this would be to the child? The public would only continue to ridicule the child. This was truly scumbag behavior.
"Have you tried talking to Charles about it?" Zane asked Sonia.
Sonia took a sip of water and replied, "Of course I have. Daphne is my friend, and I couldn't just stand by and watch Charles treat her this way. So, during the New Year celebrations, I had a frank talk with Charles, hoping he would understand that what he's doing is wrong. But Charles..."
"He didn't agree to it, did he?"
Sonia nodded. "No, he didn't. I also know I can't push him too hard, or it won't be good for Daphne. So, I was hoping he'll think it over properly. But now, it has been so long, and he still doesn't seem to have figured it out. Daphne is now more than five months pregnant, and in another four months, the baby will be born."
"So, what are you going to do now?" Zane asked. "With your personality, you probably won't just sit back and do nothing, right?"
Sonia put down her glass and smiled. "You know me pretty well. You're right, I plan on doing something, but before that, I have to wait a little longer. I'll give Charles another two or three months, and hopefully, he'll come to his senses. If he still doesn't come around, I'll tell his mother. With her help,
everything will be alright."
While they didn't want to trouble their elders, it was necessary to involve them sometimes. Zane didn't think Sonia's plan was a bad one since it was a serious matter.
"Do what you think is best." Zane supported her. "But I never expected Charles to be this kind of person."
"Charles isn't a bad person; he's just handling this situation wrong," Sonia replied.
"Handling it the wrong way is a problem in itself. After all, it's an innocent child and a woman that he's hurting," Zane said. Although he used to be a playboy, he never did anything to hurt a woman. Before entering into a relationship, he would make it clear that he wouldn't develop real feelings and hoped that the other person wouldn't either. They would just play around, and after three months, they would break up. After the breakup, he would also compensate the woman in some way. When he was in a relationship, he wouldn't cheat on his partner and wouldn't accidentally conceive a child. If he did, he would either directly say he didn't want it and let the woman get an abortion, or he would give the child a proper identity and let the woman get a divorce later. Either way, he wouldn't do what Charles was doing. Therefore, he looked down on Charles for this matter.
Sonia remained silent, knowing that Zane was right. In the end, all she could do was sigh and hope that Charles would come to his senses. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
After that, Zane had to leave because he had other things to do.
The hospital room suddenly became quiet with the departure of the two talkative men. When Mary
brought out the chicken soup, she jokingly commented, "Mr. Lane and Mr. Coleman left, and it feels a bit empty now."
Sonia chuckled without lifting her head from the book she was reading. "It's okay. Tyler should be here this afternoon. His talkativeness will outdo Zane and Charles combined."
After hearing this, Mary burst into laughter and said, "You're right. Young Master Tyler has a lively personality and is quite talkative. With him around, there's no need to worry about things being dull or boring."
As if on cue, there was a knock on the door. Mary went to answer it and found the bodyguard outside. "Mary, Julia is here again," he informed her.
Mary immediately turned to look at Sonia. She knew that Sonia had heard this. However, Sonia didn't look up or make any indication of a response. Mary sighed and turned back to the door. "Let her in."
It had been this way over the past few days. When Julia came, Sonia wouldn't say anything, so Mary would let Julia in instead. Indeed, Sonia remained silent, and it was evident that she had approved of what Mary said.
So, the bodyguard nodded and went to get Julia. Soon, Julia appeared at the door carrying a large bag. Mary exclaimed, "Julia, what have you brought in such a big bag?"
Hearing this, Sonia perked up and lowered the book in her hand to look. Obviously, she was also curious. Mary helped Julia bring the bag into the room, and Julia explained with a smile, "It's just some clothes."
"Clothes?" Mary was puzzled.
"Yes." Julia turned to Sonia. "They're all maternity clothes. When I was pregnant with Sonny, her grandmother made a lot of maternity clothes for me, and they're all retro styles. They're embroidered with delicate needlework. Her grandmother made a lot, but I had a difficult pregnancy and spent most of my time in bed, so I never had a chance to wear them. I remembered them yesterday and went home to look for them. These clothes are all brand new, and I thought I could give them to Sonny."
"I see." Mary was pleasantly surprised. "Old Mrs. Gray was a top embroidery master and a wealthy young lady born in the last century. She loved to wear traditional dresses, and she didn't change even as she grew older. The clothes she made are undoubtedly very beautiful."
"Yes, but I couldn't wear them at the time, so I kept them. After Sonny's grandmother passed away, I forgot about them. Now, it's the perfect time to give them to Sonny. They're all new."
Julia quickly unzipped the bag with Mary's help, and they took out the clothes one by one, laying them out on the bed. As Mary had said, the clothes were all traditional dresses, in the style of the Victorian era. They were exquisitely crafted and beautiful. Despite their age, they remained timeless, with intricate designs and embroidery that made them valuable.
It was evident that Pauline had been very satisfied with Julia as her daughter-in-law when she was alive, or else she wouldn't have made so many clothes for Julia.
"Oh my, they're so beautiful!" Mary picked up a white dress and showed it to Sonia. "Young Mistress Sonia, look at this. The embroidery is so realistic, and there probably aren't many people who can embroider to this level nowadays. A handmade dress with good embroidery can cost seven figures, let
alone this one. You'll look stunning in it."
"Yes." Julia nodded with a smile while looking at Sonia with affection. She had brought these clothes because she thought her daughter would look beautiful in them. Women liked beautiful clothes, and Sonia was no exception. The sight of these clothes held her attention for an extended period as she gazed at their exquisite beauty, unable to look away.
"Do you want to try it on, Young Mistress Sonia?" Mary encouraged her. "This dress has a flattering waistline, making it suitable not only for pregnant women but for anyone who wants to accentuate their waist."
