Yuna's heart fluttered, her face a mix of tear-stained joy and worry.
"Freddie, can I trust you? A month ago, you swore you'd marry me. But then... never mind. Freddie, I don't mind if you don't marry me. My only concern now is for the baby inside me."
"I won't let our child be born without a father. For its sake, I will marry you."
Frederick made himself perfectly clear.
He was willing to marry her solely because she was carrying his child, and that was it.
There was no other reason, and he could never love her.
But for Yuna, the prospect of becoming a member of the Winston family was enough!
Yuna flung herself into Frederick's arms, her tears soaking his shirt. "Thank you, Freddie. Thank you for giving me and our child a chance."
Mr. and Mrs. Ablett, who had been arguing with Frederick, fell silent at his words.
Frederick, looking a little annoyed, gave Yuna's shoulder a reassuring squeeze. "Take it easy for the next few days. I'll have someone look after you."
Yuna sniffled, looked up at Frederick with teary eyes. "Freddie, can I move back to Seaside Manor?"
Frederick stiffened. "Yes, but you must behave. No more trouble with Marguerite."
Yuna nodded enthusiastically. "Don't worry, Freddie. I won't bother her, and I trust you to handle your relationship with her."
Frederick lifted Yuna off the ground, placed her gently on the sofa, and gave her some advice on prenatal care before leaving.
As soon as Frederick was gone, Yuna's gloomy expression was replaced by one of triumph.
