Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 1385

Caitlin's chest was heaving as she pointed at Joyce and said, "Look at your daughter, Jon! She was actually planning on keeping something this big a secret from us! I question if she even sees us as her parents!"

Joyce pursed her lips and exclaimed in displeasure, "Don't say that, Mom!"

What the heck is Mom saying? Of course I see them as my parents! It's true that I neglected the consequences of my actions when I tried to commit suicide, but I've already realized my mistake!

"That's enough, Honey.What's done has already been done, so there's no point in scolding her for it now.Right now, we should focus on what she plans to do with the baby!" Jonathan said with a sigh.

Natalie nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Mrs.Rivers.Let's ask Joyce what she plans on doing with the baby."

The three of them then shifted their gaze toward Joyce, causing her to instinctively clench her fists above her tummy.

"Tell us the truth, Joyce.What do you plan on doing? Are you going to keep the baby or have an abortion?"

Joyce's eyes went wide the moment she heard the word "abortion".

She instinctively sat bolt upright and shook her head as she said, "No, I can't abort the baby!"

Jonathan frowned.

"You can't abort the baby? So...Are you saying you will keep the baby, then?"

"I..."

Joyce froze.

Keep the baby? Honestly, I haven't actually thought that far ahead...

While I don't want to get an abortion, I'm not sure if keeping this baby is the right thing to do either. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Stanley doesn't love me, nor does he know that I am pregnant with his child.

And even if he does know, what would he do? Knowing his personality and how much he hates me, I bet he'd just ask me to get an abortion! There's no way he'd let me give birth to this child, so getting an abortion would be the most appropriate option for me.

But...

For some reason, the mere thought of getting an abortion makes me feel really horrible.

Although I didn't wish for this sudden pregnancy, the fact remains that this baby belongs to me and the man I love! I just can't bring myself to get an abortion! Seeing as Joyce was conflicted on the matter, Natalie gave it some thought and asked, "Joyce, your desire to keep the baby outweighs your desire to get an abortion, right?"

Joyce looked up at her and mumbled softly, "Yeah..."

Caitlin let out a sigh.

"It's because this baby belongs to Stanley, isn't it? That's why you don't want to get an abortion, right?"

She firmly believed that Stanley being the father was definitely the reason Joyce wanted to keep the baby.

Had it been someone else instead, Joyce would surely have agreed to get an abortion.

Joyce made no attempt to hide it and nodded as she knew it was no secret between them.

Caitlin jabbed a finger at her and asked angrily, "You...Do you really love Stanley that much?"

"Joyce, it will be nearly impossible for you to start a new relationship later on if you choose to keep this baby.Very few men out there are able to accept a woman who is with a child.On top of that, getting pregnant before marriage will ruin your reputation.Are you not afraid of others pointing fingers at you and your child everywhere you go?"

Jonathan asked with a gloomy look on his face.

"I..."

Joyce tensed up instantly and fell silent after hearing that.

"Also, keep in mind that Stanley doesn't love you, so there's no way he'll love this child.Even if you decide to keep the baby, your child will grow up without the love of a father.Are you sure you still want to go through with this? What will you say if your child asks about his or her father in the future? Will you tell the truth or keep it a secret?"

Jonathan continued.

"I don't know..."

Joyce shook her head helplessly.She didn't want to abort the baby, but she wasn't sure how she would deal with the consequences of that decision.
