"Not only have I been hurt by Monte, but by you too. Anyway, I've had my fair share of bad guys. It’s nice to be alone."
Charity took a bite of the pancake and chewed on it.
Chester looked at her dejectedly. "I can get you a psychologist."
“What's the point of getting a psychologist?” Charity mocked, "To have me treated for your enjoyment?"
"Well... We can all have fun, right?” Chester asked, "Don't you want to have a child?"
"Why must I have a child? Being pregnant for nine months isn't easy, and the child can be annoying. Isn't it better to live my life alone?" With that, Charity suddenly looked down. "What's more, what’s good about having a child? I'm a public figure. Given that our affair has caused such an uproar, the child will become the topic of discussion. However, the child is innocent."
"If you give birth to my child, no one will discuss it.”
"With you?" Charity nearly rolled her eyes." Am I crazy?"
Chester returned to the topic again.
He said, "I'll get you a psychologist. I’ll pay and hire the best one. In any case, your illness has to do with me, and I need to be responsible for it."
Charity slammed the milk glass on the table. By then, her patience had reached its limit. "Didn't I make myself very clear? I don't like being in a relationship. Even if you do, why must you force me? And now you're saying my illness has to do with you? In fact, all you want is for me to sleep with you. Chester, don’t I even have the right to reject you?"
The woman's eyes were filled with rage.
Chester was starting to get irritated too. " Eliza, don't be ungrateful. I’m a doctor, and avoiding treatment is bad."
"What's so bad about it? There are so many women in this world who stay single forever. Is it a must for us to get a man?" Charity took a deep breath. "Chester, I'm telling you to give up because I'll never be with you. It’s impossible.”
He had put her in no mood for breakfast. "If you insist on staying here, there's nothing I can do. However, I need to go to work. You can take your time and have breakfast here alone."
With that, she went upstairs to get changed.
Chester stared at her silhouette.
