"David, what kind of attitude is this? Are you blaming me now? What does Annie’s miscarriage have to do with me? Did I cause it?"
"Even if you’re in a bad mood, you shouldn’t make unjust accusations. I admit I don’t like her, nor do I agree with you two being together. But you listen, her miscarriage has nothing to do with me."
"Since you were with her for the baby before, now that there’s no baby, you don’t need to marry her to take responsibility. In my opinion, this miscarriage may not be such a bad thing. Although the baby is innocent, it was not even two months in her belly, don’t tell me you had deep feelings for it."
Mrs. Benington was blunt, completely disregarding David Benington’s feelings, "You’re my son, don’t I know you? That woman is restless, not at all good. When you and Joanna were still together, she did everything she could to seduce you, completely disregarding her sisterhood with Joanna, she was shameless to the extreme. I think she planned this pregnancy long ago, wanting to take advantage of the baby to rise in status. In fact, she has indeed succeeded."
"David, listen to your mother, this manipulative woman is not suitable for you. You can take this opportunity to break up with her. Regina, the younger daughter of your Uncle Newman, is back from overseas, I’ve seen that girl once, she’s not only beautiful but also has a great temperament, and she’s a painter. She’s much better than the woman at your side."
"You should handle that woman quickly, come home at the weekend, I’ll ask Mr. Newman to bring his daughter to our house for dinner."
David Benington was furious, "Mom, I’m not in the mood to meet other women now."
"It’s not a setup, just a meal, just a meeting. Your mother tells you, that girl is really beautiful, she’s not as exquisite as Joanna, but she’s great. You’ll definitely like her."
Hearing Mrs. Benington bring up Joanna Lawrence, David Benington’s expression slightly changed.
Mrs. Benington was still chattering, "In short, you must come home this weekend. Your dad and I..."
David Benington hung up.
He had called to confront Mrs. Benington.
Because he believed that the fake information Garret Twain had found at the hospital was all arranged by Mrs. Benington.
Mrs. Benington did this only to make him and Annie break up.
When David Benington figured this out, he was furious.
Even if he didn’t have much feelings for Annie, the baby in her belly was, after all, his flesh and blood.
His child was just gone, and he couldn’t possibly feel nothing.
But Mrs. Benington did understand him.
The pregnant person was Annie, and the baby in her belly was not yet two months old, and David Benington, the so-called father, in fact, didn’t have much affection for the unborn child.
If it had been Joanna who was pregnant with their child, he would surely be very happy, looking forward to the birth of the baby.
Both he and Joanna were attractive, so regardless of who the baby would resemble, it would definitely be good-looking.
If it was like Joanna, it would be even better, certainly a particularly beautiful baby.
But the pregnant person was Annie.
He didn’t feel much of the joy of becoming a father, there was more a sense of responsibility in his heart.
Now, Annie’s baby was gone, that sense of responsibility became much weaker.
What was left was more guilt and self-blame.
If he hadn’t pushed her, Annie wouldn’t have fallen to the ground, and wouldn’t have miscarried.
