Chapter 408 - 434 Fulfill Me
Charlotte suddenly looked up at him, her pale face inexplicably showing a hint of anger because of his words.
She stared fiercely at Robert, until she seemed to recall something, slowly withdrawing her gaze, biting her lips so hard she almost drew blood from them.
Robert stared at her, as her gaze shifted away, an indescribable sense of loss welled up inside him—how ridiculous, what was he losing? Could it be that he still had some expectations of her? This despicable and shameless woman has deceived him time and again...
He pressed his lips tightly together.
Lady Stephens was stunned, she gently pushed Charlotte, unable to resist asking, "Charlotte, is this child not Robert’s?"
Charlotte’s face was pale, her head lowered as she softly called out to her, "Madam, I..."
Lady Stephens held her hand, seeing her tense expression, she comforted her gently, "Don’t be afraid, Charlotte, you’ve been part of our family for years. I’ve already considered you one of us. Just tell auntie, which young man are you with? If you like him, auntie will go to his family to propose marriage for you!"
Although she had long regarded Charlotte and Robert as a pair in her heart, the feelings of the younger generation were not something the elders could control. After all these years, Charlotte and Robert had no outcome; was it because Charlotte liked someone else?
Charlotte pressed her lips tightly together, saying nothing.
Robert laughed coldly, "You’ve spared no effort beside me, all for this day, haven’t you? Now you’re finally about to succeed, why do you still not dare to speak?"
Lady Stephens frowned, looking at Robert, "Robert, do you know who that young man is?"
From what Robert said, she realized Charlotte liked that young man very much.
Could it be that young man abandoned Charlotte after an affair, which is why she dared not speak?
Robert: "Of course I know."
His expression of mockery grew more intense as he glanced at the silent Edward sitting not far away, saying, "Isn’t that right, Edward."
He suddenly brought up Edward, leaving everyone puzzled.
Mr. Stephens, who had remained silent, suddenly slapped the table and stood up, yelling sternly, "This is simply outrageous!"
Lady Stephens, bewildered, looked at her husband, seeing him unusually angry for someone usually gentle, she was startled and asked in a panicked voice, "What’s wrong, dear?"
Robert said, "The child is Edward’s."
"!" Lady Stephens was taken aback, standing up in shock, looking at her son with disbelief.
Edward appeared serene, sitting there without saying a word, his face showing no emotion, as if watching a farce.
"Ed-Edward?" Lady Stephens could barely speak, her eyes wide open with a puzzled and shocked expression. After a while, she let out a breath and asked, "The child in Charlotte’s belly?"
Mr. Stephens came over, walked to Charlotte’s side, and raised his hand to rest it on Charlotte’s shoulder.
Charlotte trembled slightly, only to hear the other say, "Listen to Uncle’s advice, abort this child."
Charlotte knelt down, her head lowered, speaking to the graceful middle-aged man in front of her, "Uncle, I do not ask for any status, I only want this child. Please, fulfill me this time."
"Charlotte!" Mr. Stephens’ tone hardened, he furrowed his brow, looking down at her, "Do you know what you are saying?!"
