Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again

Chapter 908 No Regrets

If I didn’t realize Daphne’s feelings, or if I did but didn’t encourage her, she wouldn’t have had the courage to confess to Charles. As long as she didn’t express her feelings and treated him like before, things could have been different now.

Nevertheless, Daphne waved her off and smiled when she saw the guilty look on Sonia’s face. “It’s fine, President Reed. You didn’t do anything wrong, and you were just trying to help me out. Even if you hadn’t encouraged me to pursue President Lane, I’d still do it on my own.”

“Really?” Sonia straightened her posture a little while Daphne lowered her gaze and chuckled. “In the past, you never knew that President Lane had feelings toward you, so you couldn’t reject him. Since I’m not sure whether the two of you would get together or not as a bystander, I had always hid my feelings so that no one would know about it. However, I realized that I could go after him without any worries or consequences once he confessed, and you rejected him.”

“So, the reason why you never confessed in the past was that you’re not sure if I will get into a relationship with him once I know about his feelings?” Sonia glanced at her.

Daphne nodded. “Yes. I started having the urge to confess after knowing that you won’t get together with President Lane, so even if you discourage me, I will still pursue him. Nevertheless, you gave me encouragement before I could properly plan how I wanted to pursue him.”

“I see.” In that instance, the sudden realization hit Sonia.

Meanwhile, Daphne stared at her and explained, “That’s why you shouldn’t feel guilty, President Reed. Although I was suffering because of President Lane’s disgust toward me, I’ve already thought things through. Feelings can’t be forced, and I can’t expect him to love me back just because I love him. What happened between us that night was a mistake, and we are both responsible for it. I won’t make him take responsibility for it, and I’ll settle things on my own without his knowledge. I’ll act like nothing ever happened that night, and I don’t care if his attitude toward me remains the same in the future. I’ll try to move on and forget about him. From now on, I’ll look for a man who loves me and get into a new relationship.”

Seeing how serious Daphne sounded as well as how she looked forward to starting a new chapter, Sonia was relieved.

“It’s good if that’s what you think. I hope that you’ll replace someone who truly loves you and treats you well,” she said genuinely.

Daphne nodded with a smile. “Thank you for your kind words, President Reed. I believe that I will.”

“Of course you will!” Sonia smiled as well. “Still, are you really planning to abort the baby?”

“Of course.” Daphne hummed in acknowledgment. “Since I’m planning to start a new chapter in my life, I’d naturally have to take care of the matter with the baby, or it will be unfair to my future husband. Besides, what if my future husband refuses to take care of the baby once I give birth to it? Even if I refuse to get married because of the baby, I still can’t provide the baby with fatherly love. What should I tell my baby when they ask me about their father? It would be best for me to abort it now. Although it sounds cruel, it’s for the best.”

As she said that, there were still sentences she decided not to speak out loud.

If I keep and raise the baby, President Charles would surely take the child away from me once he knows that the child has his blood. Even if he won’t accept me as the child’s mother, the child still belongs to him, and he definitely won’t let the child stray outside and will take the child back to the Lanes. By then, I definitely can’t fight against him. This means that I will have to be separated from my child once he replaces out about the child’s existence. Can I really watch and do nothing as he takes my child away from me? I don’t think I can do that. I will definitely have emotional connections with my child after giving birth to them and raising them up. Knowing the fact that my child might get taken away from me without me being able to do anything pains me. Since I can’t accept something like that happening, it is better for me to abort the baby while I still don’t feel so emotionally attached yet.

At the thought of that, Daphne caressed her stomach with a dim look in her gaze.

It was obvious that she didn’t really want to abort the baby and felt bad about doing so.

“I guess it’s for the best.” Sonia sighed. “It’s better for you, too. When are you going for the abortion?”

Initially, Daphne had already planned to get an abortion before she requested a break from work and had already set an appointment to do so.

However, a call from Sonia stopped her because Sonia experienced the same thing as she did.

Back when Sonia found out that she was pregnant, she was devastated because she never expected herself to get pregnant just because of a drunk night.

Most importantly, she didn’t even know who the father of the child was.

Sonia didn’t have any feelings or emotional attachment toward the baby and never thought of keeping the baby. Although she was adamant about getting an abortion, she didn’t rush to get it due to her being too busy with work and everything else that was happening, which sent Carl into a frenzy and poisoned her, causing her to have to abort the baby.

While she felt lost after getting an abortion, she was more than relieved at the same time as it meant that the consequence of that drunken night was finally gone.

However, Sonia regretted her action after that when she realized that she was starting to fall in love with Toby again.

That was how hypocritical women were. When they weren’t in love in a person, being pregnant with that person’s child would make them feel devastated, and they’d want to get an abortion, but it would be different once they fell in love with that person.

Therefore, Sonia didn’t want Daphne to take the same path as she did and regretted aborting the baby.

Because of that, she gave Daphne a call that night after Daphne took leave and advised her to not act rashly by aborting the baby. Sonia suggested Daphne rest for a few days and reconsider the abortion. She didn’t want Daphne to do something that she might regret due to her impulsivity because Sonia figured that Daphne would regret doing so.

After all, Daphne was in a different situation. While Sonia didn’t know whose child she was pregnant with, Daphne knew that she was pregnant with Charles’ baby.

Thus, Daphne must have been extremely courageous to make the decision to abort the baby considering how much she loved Charles.

Of course, it could also have been an impulsive act, so Sonia wanted her to calm down and reconsider her decision as Sonia didn’t want her to regret getting an abortion when she thought about Charles again.

Still, she didn’t expect Daphne to be so adamant with her decision to get an abortion even after two days,

Looks like Daphne has really made up her mind. If that’s the case, I don’t have to worry about her regretting doing so.

“Tomorrow,” Daphne adjusted her glasses before answering. “I’ve already made an appointment at the hospital, and the operation is scheduled for tomorrow at noon.”

Sonia nodded. “I see. Since tomorrow is the weekend, you should take a break for about a month after the operation for your postpartum recovery.”
