Chapter 50 Pregnant
Chandler barely glanced at her, his eyes indifferent. “Stand up
for you? I’m just preserving the Aniston family’s reputation.”
With that, his gaze shifted to Dalton. “So, when are your planning to set the wedding date?”
Dalton seemed to be in another world, not even
acknowledging the question.
His mind felt empty; he was supposed to be the groom, yet there was no joy in his heart.
Instead, he was wrapped in a thick blanket of exhaustion.
Lydia gently tugged at his sleeve. “Dalton, Uncle Chandler is asking you. He wants to know when we should set the date so he can start making arrangements…”
A wave of irritation washed over him. He grabbed a cigarette from his assistant Elias and bit down on it.
“You decide. I need to step outside for some air.”
Before Lydia could respond, he was already striding away.

If this had been any other day, Lydia would have overthought his attitude, feeling hurt and confused.
But today, with the prospect of marrying into the Aniston.
family, she was floating on cloud nine, too excited to dwell on
Dalton’s behavior.
After all, men typically didn’t care much for the details of wedding planning, so she understood that.
Worried that time might slip away, Lydia quickly flipped through her phone calendar.
“Uncle Chandler, how about the eighth of next month? It’s a good day.”
For a family like the Aniston family, with their wealth and
influence, a month should be more than enough time to pull off a wedding.
The hospital was bustling with activity as Meryl accompanied Anne to the gynecologist.
When they stepped out, Anne’s face was pale.
“What’s wrong? What did the doctor say?” Meryl asked.
Anne frowned, her expression serious. “The doctor said I’m pregnant–less than a month along.”

Meryl was taken aback.

Anne’s frustration bubbled over as she crouched in the
hallway, cradling her head in her hands. “I’m about to divorce. Dante, and now I find out I’m pregnant? This is a joke, right?”
In two years of marriage, Dante had barely slept with her.
Now, just as she was ready to sever ties, she discovered she was carrying his child.
Meryl said softly, “I think this baby could be a turning point. Maybe it could help mend things between you and Dante.”
Anne’s eyes glistened with unshed tears. “But he has someone else in his heart. Can a child born into such a situation really be happy. Using a child to tie a man down–can that kind of relationship last?”
Meryl fell silent, weighing Anne’s words carefully.
After a long pause, she said, “So, what about the baby…”
Anne replied, rising to her feet, “I’m not keeping it. I’m going to
book an appointment for the procedure. I want it done ASAP!”
Meryl’s eyes widened in shock. “You’re not even going to tell
Dante?”

Anne hesitated, her resolve wavering.

“Come on, he’s still the father. Don’t you think he deserves to
know?”
Meryl understood Anne still had feelings for Dante and didn’t want her to make a rash decision she might regret later.
“Even if you decide to terminate the pregnancy, you shouldn’t
bear this burden alone while he acts like it’s none of his
business.
“Are you really okay with this? You’re getting rid of the child to
make way for them, and he doesn’t even know about the kid’s
existence? How can things be this unfair?
“In the end, you’ll be the one hurting–physically and emotionally. Anne, are you really going to do this?
“What about the two years you wasted on him?
“And he has someone else but still sleeps with you? That
doesn’t mean he’s truly committed to her.”
Anne blinked rapidly, her thoughts swirling. Meryl’s words had
only made her more confused.
“What should I do now?” Anne asked.

Meryl replied, “First, go back today. Find a chance to tell Dante about the pregnancy.

“If he’s on board with you terminating the pregnancy, then he needs to handle everything: the examination, the procedure,
and the recovery. That’s his responsibility as a man.
“Otherwise, is he just going to have his fun and walk away
without a care? Who does he think he is?
“You have to make sure he never forgets that he once had a
child, and that it’s gone because of him. He should live with
that guilt for the rest of his life, always regretting his actions!”
