Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 1386

"Actually, it's not too hard to avoid all of that and keep the baby at the same time" Natalie said while looking her straight in the eye.

Naturally, everyone shifted their gaze toward her upon hearing that.

"What do you mean by that, Nat?" Joyce asked. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"I'm sure you all are familiar with my situation.Just like Joyce, I got pregnant before marriage.I too, felt conflicted as to whether I should keep or abort my baby.I thought of getting an abortion at first, but I couldn't do so due to my physical condition.The other reason I kept the baby was because I had lost all hope in love.I wasn't planning on dating and marrying anyone anymore, so I decided I might as well keep the baby."

In order to save Jared, Natalie made a deal with Jasmine.

Natalie had to offer herself up to a judge for a fashion design competition.

In return, Jasmine made the arrangements for Jared's surgery.

Natalie had no idea that Shane was the man who had sex with her that night; she found it to be so hellish that she wished she were dead.

She had actually thought of committing suicide after that night, but Jared needed someone to look after him, and Yulia was still mentally unstable after being divorced, As such, Natalie couldn't afford to die or there would be no one to look after them.

Of course, that didn't change the fact that she viewed herself as tainted and unworthy of living.

As such, she planned on taking her life once Jared and Yulia's conditions improved.

However, she suddenly changed her mind about dying when she found out later on that she had gotten pregnant.

The main reason she made that deal with Jasmine was to save Jared and Yulia, so they wouldn't be able to live with themselves if they found out the reason she committed suicide.

Jared would believe that he only survived because of his sister's sacrifice, and Yulia would hate herself for her incompetence which led to her daughter offering up her body for her son's surgery.

For both of their sake, Natalie chose to put up with her disgust and kept the baby as she carried on living.

Due to her poor physical condition, getting an abortion would put her life at risk too.

That was the primary reason behind her choice to keep the baby.

The second reason was because she had given up on love completely.

Since she was planning on staying single for life, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have her child keep her company.

That was how Connor and Sharon came to be born a few months later.

They were both so adorable that Natalie felt glad she had chosen to keep them instead.

Had she gotten an abortion instead, she would probably regret her decision for the rest of her life.

After taking a moment to recall her past, Natalie regained her composure and said with a smile, "Joyce, what you're about to hear is me speaking from my past experience, so I hope you'll pay close attention

to what I have to say."

"Okay." Joyce nodded.

Natalie then sat down beside the bed as she said, "You see, my condition was a little different from yours.I didn't know who the father of my children was at first, but you do.On top of that, he is someone that you love, so I can understand your desire to keep this baby.Of course, I'm not asking you to get an abortion.I'm only telling you this because having a child isn't a game.Once you've made your decision, there's no regretting it"

Jonathan and Caitlin nodded in unison.

"Yeah, Nat is right"

Natalie smiled as she continued, "This child is fated to never be loved nor accepted by his father, so you will have to play the role of both parents if you choose to keep him.You will also have to give up on a lot of things, including future romances.Your parents are right about most men being unable to accept a woman who is with a child.On top of that, I'm sure you'll feel anxious about having someone else care for your child, right?"
