However, if it had been Billy who said those words first, it would have been totally different. He might think she was pestering him.
It was a wrong choice to keep a man with a child. The man may love the child, but he would loathe a woman.
If she could get Billy's guilty conscience and love, she could abandon the child. She had thought of everything in a short time.
Billy took a sip of red wine, rubbed his forehead, and said, "It isn't time to have a child now, Natalie." 1
This child came too suddenly, and he had no intention to have a child now.
"I got it." Natalie's heart trembled. Then she said," When you come back from the company tomorrow evening, remember to go to the pharmacy to buy abortion pills for me, and then stay with me. It's the first time for me to do it. I'm a little scared."
"Sorry, I'll stay with you." Billy said.
She was very active to say those words without pestering him or crying, which made Billy feel guilty. He knew how important children were to women.
"That's great." She smiled. She was as delicate as a lotus in a storm. She said pitifully, "Let's have dinner.
These are your favorite dishes."
Billy embraced her in his arms and asked her what she wanted to eat and what else she needed gently. His expression and tone were very gentle.
This was what Natalie wanted... 1
She didn't want to leave Billy, nor did she want to let him be unsatisfied with her.
So she couldn't keep the baby. But she had to get something. Maybe he would feel guilty for her, or maybe he would marry her in the future.
