She also longed for a warm embrace to lean on.
But at the time she needed care the most, he had vanished without a
trace.
“Forget it, I should deal with the company matters first!”
Charlotte composed herself, endured the discomfort, and continued to handle the company’s issues.
Just in case.
She had to prepare an exit strategy first.

If the company really couldn’t keep running, she would have to sell it at a huge loss.

In the days that followed.
Charlotte made preparations on two fronts.
At the same time, she braced herself for the worst.
If Timothy insisted on dragging them both down, she would choose to go down with him. She wouldn’t let him hurt her father, nor let his schemes succeed.
Of course, for now, her priority was to keep him calm.

A week later.
“Beep, beep, betp…”
“Hello, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable…”
Charlotte made one last call to Gregory.
Unfortunately.
There was still no answer.
By now, he had been in Belvaria for twenty days.
“Ha, I really am hopelessly in love, falling so easily.”
“I already suffered once in my past life, and still haven’t learned my lesson. He just sweet–talked me a little, and I fell head over heels, even willing to have his child.”
“If he really cared about you, how could he go over twenty days without returning a single call?”
Charlotte couldn’t help but sigh, and tears slid down her cheeks uncontrollably.
If he really cared about her!
How could he go so long without even calling her back?
Kathy was even more anxious and angry than she was, asking about the situation almost every day.
“Lottie, how many days has it been? That middle–aged man still hasn’t come back?”

“Charlotte stared blankly in silence, the joy she once had now gone.
Kathy sighed. “See, didn’t Mom tell you? He’s just deceiving you. Those middle–aged men love to trick young girls like you who are inexperienced.”
Charlotte was extremely downcast, and Timothy’s issues made her even more upset. “Mom, please stop…”
Kathy looked at her with disappointment. “I’m just worried about you. You’re almost two months pregnant now. Your belly will start to show soon. If he really doesn’t come back, are you really planning to be a single mother?”
“Yes, our family can afford to raise a child, that’s not a problem. But the key is, you’re only twenty! You still have so much youth and so many opportunities ahead of you. Are you sure you want to tie yourself down for life with a child?”
Charlotte’s nose stung, and tears fell:
“Mom, please stop. I’ll go to the hospital for an abortion tomorrow.”
Kathy’s pupils contracted in shock when she heard this.
She actually wanted her daughter to have the baby.
But the key was, her daughter was still so young. She really didn’t want her daughter’s whole life to be ruined like this.
“Lottie, are you serious? Don’t change your mind again. This is a big decision, you have to think it through.”
“If you insist on having the baby, I won’t force you otherwise. In any case, I just don’t want you to regret it.”

Charlotte wiped her tears and said in a dead voice, “I’ve already thought it through these past few days. I won’t have the baby. Since the child’s father doesn’t care at all, why should I insist on giving birth to this child?”
With that, she stood up and went back to her room.
It had been more than twenty days.
She had sent Gregory so many messages and made so many calls.
But he hadn’t replied even once, let alone shown any concern for her or the baby.
She had made up her mind to terminate the pregnancy.
Back in her room.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
The phone rang..
