Chapter 229 Daisy's Decision
"Are you sure it is cute? Not scary?"
"Are you looking for a fight?"
"Daphne, look at Lydia's reaction. I can't even tell the truth."
"Daphne! Kevin is bullying me!"
Watching the two of them bicker, Daphne ruffled Lydia's hair and said with a smile, "Anything Lydia makes is the cutest thing in the world."
"Did you hear that? you tasteless guy." Lydia always bantered with Kevin.
Kevin snorted.
In the lively atmosphere, they headed to the dinner spot.
It was an outdoor venue, and a sumptuous dinner was already laid out on the table. In the center of the table was a cake.
More precisely, it was a cake that looked exactly like Daphne's pillow, just in a smaller size.
That night.
Daphne was very happy.
After dinner, they sat together and chatted.
Looking at the six people around her, Daphne, in a great mood, said, "Tell me your wishes, and I'll make them come true."
"We hope you are happy," they all said this.
Daphne's lips curved into a smile, her eyes showing a beautiful arc. She smiled more that night than she had in the past month.
She emphasized. "I am already happy. Tell me your wishes."
"I hope I never have to manage the company," Lydia said proactively.
Daphne looked at her with doting eyes and said, "Okay."
Gavin said, "I hope I don't have to manage the company after this year."
Daphne said, "Denied."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Daphne turned her gaze to the quiet Jesse and asked, "Jesse, what about you?"
"I hope I can always be your assistant," Jesse said in a calm voice, "to solve all your troubles and worries."
Daphne said, "I meant your wish."
Jesse replied, "That is my wish."
This simple sentence made the atmosphere turn gossipy.
Kevin, the gossip king, asked, "You don't have any inappropriate thoughts about Daphne, do you?"
"Ms. Murphy pays well, offers great benefits. She is a good person," Jesse said seriously, "If I miss this, there won't be another chance."
Kevin stared at him.
But Jesseremained cool and emotionless.
"I promise you, those things won't change," Daphne responded, then turned to Alexander. "Dad, what about you?"
She had made up her mind.
If he said he wanted to marry Sophia, she would agree.
Even if Sophia had bad intentions, as long as she showed her true colors, Daphne could help Alexander deal with it.
He had been controlled by Jason all his life and worried about her and Lydia.
He deserved to have his own life.
I simply wish for you and Lydia to be happy and safe." Alexander understood Daphne's implication, although that wasn't his most heartfelt wish.
What he cared about most was Daphne and Lydia.
As long as they were well, everything was fine.
Daphne understood his look and smiled. "Okay."
That night, no one went back. The resort had plenty of rooms, and Daphne and Lydia shared a room.
After that night.
Everyone noticed that Daphne smiled more than usual.
The following day, after everyone had departed, Daphne returned to their home to live with Alexander and Lydia.
They had several days off.
Daphne didn't have to work, and Lydia didn't have to go to school. The family spent rare, warm moments together at home.
In the blink of an eye three days passed.
On the afternoon of the third, Daphne was basking in the sun on the swing in the yard when she received a call from Daisy.
Daphne, with her eyes closed, enjoying the comfortable sun, answered, "Hello, Daisy."
"Daphne, I've made a decision."
"What?"
"I'm not going to keep this baby." Daisy's words shocked Daphne.
She opened her eyes and sat up straight. "Why?"
Daisy cared so much about this baby, as her previous actions had shown.
Why did she suddenly not want it?
"Kaitlyn called me and played a recording," Daisy said, as if suddenly awakened. "The recording was of her informing Austin's parents about my pregnancy.."
Daphne paused.
She immediately thought of what Austin had said that day.
"Shortly after, Austin's mother also contacted me." Daisy didn't disclose the details of the conversation but expressed her concerns. "I don't want my child to be a subject of contention after birth, or grow up in a world of manipulation and deceit.."
She didn't trust the Hill family.
There were too many uncertainties in the future, and she feared her child would blame her for bringing him into the world.
"Do you like this child?" Daphne asked her.
Daisy remained silent.
How could she not like it? This was her first child.
"I can help you deal with the Hill family." Daphne promised, hoping Daisy would choose carefully. "but the rest you need to think through yourself. No matter what you decide, I will respect your choice."
As a woman, she couldn't bear the thought of aborting the child; after all, it was a life.
From a logical standpoint, once Daisy had this child, she would never be able to completely cut ties with Austin.
Austin was, after all, the child's biological father.
But no matter what, as long as Daisy made a decision, she would support it.
"Take more time to think about it." Daphne comforted her. "Don't think about it for a few days. Your current decision is influenced by that call."
"Daphne."
"Don't be afraid. Put aside external factors and listen to your heart."
Daisy didn't know what to choose.
She selfishly wanted to keep the child but was really afraid the child would blame her in the future.
Josh and May's comments continued to echo in her thoughts. They had suggested that her child might perceive it as unjust to be an ordinary person with her when they could have been a wealthy child.
"I'm afraid he'll blame me for bringing him into this world," Daisy finally voiced her biggest fear.
During pregnancy, people tend to think more than usual.
Daisy was very anxious now.
She was really scared.
"If he chose to appear in your belly, it was his decision to enter this world," Daphne assessed the situation with clarity. "If he truly didn't want to come, he had over nine months to depart."
Hearing these words, Daisy's heart seemed to open up.
She cautiously asked, "Really?"
"Really." Daphne assured her, adding another point she might be worried about. "Children are raised from a young age. As long as you teach him well from the start, he will be a sensible and good child."
Children were purer than adults.
She believed Daisy could raise a good child.
