If Sydney hadn't found out at the beginning, or if she had found out, but she hadn't encouraged Sean, Sean would possibly have had no courage to tell Luke how she felt about him.
As long as Sean didn't confess her love and still treated Luke the same way as before, the result might be different.
Looking at Sydney's face full of self-blame, Sean waved her hand and smiled, "Ms. Raines, don't be like that. You've done nothing wrong. You just wanted to help me, and even if you had not suggested that I take the initiative to chase Mr. Chase, I would have done it."
"Oh?" Sydney sat up a little straighter.
Sean lowered her eyes and smiled, "For a long time, Mr. Chase had not declared his feelings for you, so you were kept in the dark. I, as a bystander, was not clear whether you would agree to be with Mr. Chase, so I had always hidden my affection very well until Mr. Chase told you how he felt about you and you clearly refused him. I realized Mr. Chase and you would never get together, so I could pursue Mr. Chase with no worries."
"So, you didn't confess your feelings for Luke because you weren't sure if I would be with Luke after I knew he liked me, right?" Sydney looked at her.
Sean nodded. "Yes. Knowing that you wouldn't be with Mr. Chase, I wanted to confess my feelings for Mr. Chase, so even if you had not supported me or persuaded me, I would have pursued Mr. Chase. It was just that you expressed your support before I could figure out how to pursue him."
"I see." Sydney finally understood.
Sean looked at her. "So, you don't have to blame yourself. Although I did feel pain because of Mr. Chase's disgust before, now I have completely come around. I can't force him to love me just because I love him. I was wrong when I slept with him that night. He and I are both responsible, so I will not ask him to be with me. I will take care of all this behind his back as if nothing happened after that night. Even if he still treats me like this in the future, I won't care. I will try to forget him, find a man who loves me, and start a new relationship."
Looking at Sean, whose face was full of seriousness and expectation of the future, Sydney was relieved and also a bit touched.
"It's good that you think so. I hope you will find someone who loves you very much and treats you very well," Sydney said sincerely.
Sean nodded her head and smiled, "Thank you. I will."
"Definitely!" Sydney looked at her with a smile. "But is it true that you've decided to abort the child?"
"Yes," Sean replied. "Since I'm starting a new relationship, I have to give up this child. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to my future husband. If I gave birth to it, what if my future husband wouldn't accept it? Even if I chose to abandon marriage for this child, I couldn't give him fatherly love. If the child asked me why he didn't have a father, how should I answer? So it's better to abort it before it's too late. Although it's cruel, it's better for everyone, isn't it?"
There was something she didn't say.
If the child was born and brought up, Luke would definitely take the child away after knowing that the child was his.
After all, even if Luke did not accept the child's mother, the child was his, so he would certainly not let his child live outside with others. He would bring the child back to the Chase family.
At that time, she could not compete with Luke.
In other words, if Luke found out about the existence of the child, she would be separated from her child.
At that time, could she accept it if Luke took the child away?
She thought she couldn't accept it. If she gave birth to the child and raised it, she would love the child very much.
Once the child was snatched away, and she was not able to get it back, what waited for her would be agony and despair.
She could not accept the consequences.
So it was better to abort the child while her motherly love was not that strong.
Thinking about it, Sean looked down and touched her belly, her eyes bleak.
