"Yes. She's over a month along."
"Alright, I understand. Doctor, could you please keep this a secret for now?"
"Of course. My lips are sealed." The doctor nodded and left the room.
Mr. Avery turned to Lorna, his face tight with stress. "Lorna, how could you let this happen? Whose child is this? Have you been seeing someone?"
Mr. Avery had been completely in the dark about her relationship with Charles.
Lorna was just as stunned.
She had never expected to get pregnant so quickly.
When she and Charles first moved in together, she had insisted on protection.
But Charles had spun a romantic tale about wanting to start a huge family with her, and eventually, they threw caution to the wind.
Looking back, Charles had clearly been desperate to knock her up as quickly as possible.
It was his twisted way of securing a permanent ticket into the Ellington family.
"Lorna, say something! Whose is it?"
"It's Charles's," Lorna finally confessed.
"Who is Charles?"
Mr. Avery frowned in confusion before a sudden realization hit him. "Don't tell me it's that guy who crashed his car into our flowerbeds the other day?"
Lorna gave a miserable nod.
Just hearing Charles's name made Mr. Avery's blood boil.
He had absolutely despised that man. He was arrogant, rude, and entirely devoid of manners.
And now, this piece of trash was the father of his grandchild.
He was furious enough to explode.
"Lorna, you fool! You could tell with one look that the man was a manipulative scumbag. How could you get involved with someone like him? Now you're carrying his child... what are we going to do?"
"If he doesn't want it, I'll just get rid of it."
