The Apple of My Eye

"Why are you asking such a question, Dad?" she asked, a frown visible on her face. Yvonne and Wendy stared at each other, both of them feeling embarrassed.

"It's just a hunch. I may have been abroad with your mother during this time but I know that you've been living together with Charles. You two might have a close relationship but if he's proven to be the father of the child, we have to seek justice for you, " Simon said. He was not willing to let Yvonne escape from the marriage. But he couldn't seem to think of other ways to make a difference. As Yvonne was his only daughter, he wanted what's best for her. He hoped she'd end up having a happy married life. And he believed that Charles was undoubtedly the ideal partner for Yvonne.

"I initially didn't want to let Autumn get married but now that it's all said and done, we can't do anything about it. It's not like we can change what already happened. But if you are able to prove that Charles is the biological father of your child, I will do everything to make sure that you will get all of the support you need, "

Simon said, facing Yvonne.

Hearing this made Yvonne and Wendy extremely happy. They badly wanted Simon to get involved. Though Charles has nothing to do with the baby, getting Simon's favor would definitely make it easier to get what they want.

Clearly anxious about the current situation, Wendy started to continue talking despite her hesitation. "Simon, just like what I've talked about earlier- Let's talk about it later." Wendy said.

"But why?! I know that Autumn is now married to Charles and you may be delighted to accept it. But don't forget that you have two daughters. You need to treat them equally, " he said. "Yvonne had to abort the baby because of Charles! How can she get married to someone after what happened!?"

"Dad, it's not true…"

"Of course I felt upset when she told me about it. Who wouldn't? Can you imagine how much suffering she must have gone through?!" Wendy exclaimed.

"Yvonne didn't want to tell Charles about it for fear of getting shamed! He didn't know the baby at all. Yvonne was just overwhelmed by guilt!" she continued.

"I think we should stop talking about this until she gets fully recovered. All this talk must be quite annoying to Yvonne. Right, dear?" she said, smiling naughtily as she turned to embrace Yvonne.
