Chapter 199 Persuading Charlotte

Rowan's sudden appearance made Charlotte jump, who hid behind Olivia. "Mom, what are you talking about! The child is innocent!"

"The child will call you grandma in the future!"

"But if she finds out how heartless her grandma was, what will she think of you!"

Rowan snorted coldly. She didn't care at all. "It's just an unformed embryo. Go get rid of the child right now!"

As she finished speaking, she had the bodyguard beside her grab Charlotte.

But Charlotte hid behind Olivia.

Olivia had to speak up. "Mrs. York, Ms. York is your daughter, yes, but only she can make decisions about her own body."

"Right now she's very certain, and her attitude is firm - she doesn't want to abort this child."

"If you insist on using force, then we can call the police."

Reluctantly, Rowan had to stop the bodyguard. She glared at Olivia, thinking she was being too nosy. "Mrs. Hayes, this isn't something you should interfere with."

She looked at Charlotte. "Get over here right now!"

"Don't forget your last name is York."

Charlotte had been hoping for this child for so long - there was no way she would listen to Rowan. She was determined, standing behind Olivia. "Either way, I'm not getting rid of this child."

She continued, turning to walk outside. "I have somewhere to go anyway, so let's just leave it at that."

"Wait!" Justin hurried after her.

Olivia didn't interfere too much. After all, this was Justin and Charlotte's matter - they had to solve it themselves.

Outside in the yard, Charlotte stood with a stern face, waiting for Justin's answer.

"If you have anything to say, say it now."

"You're pregnant? How many months?" Justin had calmed down a lot. He never imagined he would become a father.

This was something he had never thought about until now.

He was a bit anxious. "Then we need to get married right away."

Charlotte shook her head. After confirming that Justin wouldn't abandon the child, her mood improved considerably. "My mom knows I'm pregnant too, but she doesn't agree."

Justin also knew that Rowan was the biggest obstacle between him and Charlotte.

His heart sank.

No man wants the woman he loves to fall out with her family because of him.

"Justin, it's okay. It's just a legal formality. Having it or not doesn't really matter." Charlotte grabbed Justin's hand. "I think as long as the three of us live happily together as a family, nothing else matters, right?"

Hearing Charlotte's words, Justin felt for the first time that Charlotte was incredibly naive.

How naive exactly?

She seemed to believe the world was all sunshine and rainbows, that rules and regulations didn't exist.

She didn't realize that happiness and joy come with conditions.

Seeing Justin still not speaking, Charlotte didn't understand. She looked sulky as she sat down on a nearby bench. "That's just how it is. I don't think these things are important."

"Charlotte, how can these things not be important?" Justin went over. He needed to carefully explain the pros and cons to Charlotte. "For example, when the child is born and needs to go to school, I don't want you to be gossiped about because of having a child out of wedlock. What's more, your father is the mayor. If he finds out about this, he'll definitely be very angry and think I'm a man without responsibility or accountability."

He held Charlotte's hand, earnestly persuading her. "Charlotte, just let me go over tomorrow and apologize. I'll ask your parents to give me a chance to prove to them that your choice wasn't wrong."

Charlotte felt it was impossible, so she didn't want to face it and chose to avoid it.

But after hearing Justin's words, she gradually calmed down.

Yes, her father was the mayor. If word got out that his daughter was pregnant out of wedlock, the impact on her father would be huge.

She hesitated, remembering what Rowan had said at the hospital, and shivered at the memory.

"Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I'll be there for you." Justin pulled Charlotte into his arms. "I'm a man. Whatever difficulties, whatever problems there are, just leave them all to me."

Charlotte nestled against Justin.

"But my mom, she really..."

"It's normal for her to care about social status. It's normal for her not to want you to suffer. The problem is with me, but I'll prove to them that I can give you and the child a happy future." Justin held Charlotte's hand and gently kissed it. "Charlotte, let me meet your parents first. Everything can be discussed."

Under Justin's persuasion, Charlotte finally softened.

"Okay then, I'll call my dad in a bit."

"Alright, come inside with me first. I'll make you some chicken soup to nourish your body." Justin breathed a slight sigh of relief. For him, there were really so many difficulties ahead.

But there's always a way!

After Justin went inside, he asked Olivia to help look after Charlotte. "Olivia, I'm going out to buy two chickens to make chicken soup for you and Charlotte to nourish your bodies."

He left right after speaking.

Charlotte couldn't help but glance at Olivia.

She didn't ask anything, thinking it was normal for Justin to care about his only sister.

Olivia felt slightly guilty and looked away. "Charlotte, don't stand there. Come sit on the sofa."

"How did your talk with Justin go?"

Charlotte told Olivia everything Justin had said, word for word. "Olivia, do you think this will work? You don't know my mom - even my dad has to listen to her at home."

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this."

"My dad became mayor entirely thanks to my grandfather's help."

Olivia now had a general understanding of Charlotte's family situation. If that was really the case, she felt that if Justin went to the York family, he would only be made difficult for.

But she had no solution either. Who told Rowan to just not like him and not give him a chance?

Especially under these circumstances, Justin had gotten Charlotte pregnant.

"Alright, Olivia, let's not think about all that."

"Even if my mom is really that unreasonable, I don't believe she would really disown me as her daughter. I'm her only daughter."

Olivia didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Sophie came back at that moment.

Sophie looked completely worn out.

Olivia quickly went forward. "What have you been doing? You look like you haven't slept in days. Quick, go to your room, wash up and sleep."

"I'll wake you when it's time to eat."

Sophie didn't have the energy to explain right now. She nodded. "Okay, I'll go sleep for a bit. I really pulled an all-nighter last night. I'm so tired and sleepy."
