That face, favored by women, also had the potential to make them fall in love with someone else.
Now, he couldn’t be sure if Joanna Lawrence still liked him.
He wasn’t as confident as he was initially.
If, Joanna really liked a man named Ashton Heath, what should he do?
Because he found out that he still liked her.
As for Annie Lawrence, it was just a moment of novelty, plus she was pregnant with his child, so he had to take responsibility.
Apart from this, he didn’t find himself really liking Annie.
He was silent for quite a while.
Mrs. Benington could already sense his answer just by looking at him.
Could she not understand her own child?
"David, you didn’t actually want to break up with Joanna at that time, did you?" Mrs. Benington sighed with a tone of sigh, full of pity and sadness, "Do you regret it now? But what’s the use of regret now? I understand that girl; she won’t forgive you after you betrayed her for her stepsister."
"Mom." David scratched his hair irritably, "If you know that Joanna and I can’t be together, why are you asking these questions? Is there any point?"
He knew Joanna Lawrence’s character all too well.
Mrs. Benington stared at him, her heart filled with anger when she thought of how her beloved daughter-in-law had been ruined by her worthless son, "If it weren’t for you not being able to control yourself, and getting mixed up with that shameless woman, would I have lost my lovely daughter-in-law?"
"Mom, can you stop being so harsh with your words?" David, who was quite respected outside, and was used to being praised, couldn’t take Mrs. Benington’s scolding seriously, as he felt it was a blow to his pride.
Mrs. Benington still showed him no mercy: "You think I sound mean? When you were doing it, did you ever think about how disgraceful it was? Even a rabbit doesn’t eat the grass by its nest. What were you thinking when you did those things? Did you ever think about Joanna?"
Mrs. Benington scolded him mercilessly, not at all willing to tolerate his temper.
Even knowing that her son and Joanna could never be together, every time she thought about this, she felt her stomach churning with anger.
In her heart, she despised Annie Lawrence even more.
If it weren’t for that shameless woman seducing her son, David and Joanna would still be together.
Maybe they could have gotten married this year.
Once they were married, she might even have a grandchild in another year if things went smoothly.
David complained: "What’s the point of talking about this now? No matter how much you resent Annie, the child in her belly is innocent. Anyway, whether you agree with me marrying her or not, I have to take responsibility for her and the child."
Mrs. Benington sneered and suddenly changed her tone: "I won’t stop you if you want to take responsibility."
"Mom, you..." David looked at her in surprise, "You agree to me marrying Annie?"
Mrs. Benington coldly laughed: "You’re not a child, can I control you? If you want to marry her, I can’t stop you, and I don’t want to. But if you’re marrying her just to take responsibility for her child, you should at least investigate this matter."
"Don’t be deceived by others, thinking they’ve sacrificed so much for you."
David immediately detected the hidden meaning in Mrs. Benington’s words. He hesitated for a few seconds, his eyes deep in thought, "Mom, do you think Annie is lying to me? But I took her to the hospital yesterday, I..."
