Even though it was already four in the morning, it was still brightly lit everywhere in River City.
After a sleepless night, Charlotte Emerson gazed out of the window with a blank look.
All she could think about was what the gynecological doctor had said to her during the daytime.
She was pregnant.
Charlotte gritted her teeth and silently shed tears.
She had no idea about the one-night stand a month ago. She couldn't even remember the man's face and voice.
She could only remember him thrusting his hip into her over and over again.
"Charlotte, open the door!"
While she was in a daze, she heard a loud noise outside the door. Charlotte opened her eyes. Outside of the window, the sun was already hanging high.
"You disgraceful child, how dare you do such a thing!"
Before Charlotte could react, her father had kicked the door open.
Timothy Emerson stood by the door with anger in his eyes. The report in his hand rustled as he tightened his clench on it.
Charlotte, who had just woken up, felt aggrieved. She wondered how she had provoked her 'good father'.
"Timothy, Lottie is still young. If you have anything to say, say it nicely. Don't get so angry. Look, Lottie is terrified," Elaine Emerson comforted Timothy softly.
As she looked at the two people she hated the most in her life, who appeared before her at the same time, Charlotte furrowed her eyebrows.
"Please leave!" she said.
"You still have the nerve to ask me to leave?" Timothy was so furious that his face flushed red like pork liver.
Looking at her father, who seemed to have become an entirely different person, Charlotte retorted coldly, "What about you? My mother died less than a month ago, but you married my best friend and made her my stepmother. Haha, I have a stepmom who is twenty years old. Who knows how many people would be laughing at us if they know about this!"
