Chapter 114

When I opened the door, Stella was looking at me, Is your stomach bothering you?

Yeah. Probably ate too much last nightI replied in my pajamas, Tim going to go to my room and sleep

Then I hurried back to my room, stripped off my pajamas, and crawled under the covers.

I didn’t turn off the lights, just stared blankly at the window.

What should I do next?

If I told Neil that I was pregnant, our relationship might descend into chaos again. Especially his parents. They’re so eager for a grandchild, they’d definitely come looking for me once they found out.

But if I didn’t tell Neil, what was I supposed to do with this baby? Should I give birth alone, be a single mother, or should I go to the hospital….

1 never knew maternal love could come so swiftly. The moment I knew I had a baby in my belly, I almost immediately felt like a mother.

The thought of getting an abortion in the hospital made my heart ache.

After working for a bit, I got a message from Barbara: Rena, we’re heading back. Make sure you come back for Stella’s wedding once the date’s set!

I immediately replied. Absolutely! Have a safe trip.

With Stella and Barbara gone, I felt a pang of sadness I couldn’t explain. Even with Harold’s family around, I couldn’t shake off the melancholy, I even felt like crying.

The emotion suddenly became uncontrollable. I had to go to the bathroom and cry. As I was letting out my emotions in the bathroom, Neil called.
