Charlotte Shaw thought Alice Turner’s decision to divorce Benjamin Shaw was made in a mont of anger. She tried her best to stop Alice over the phone, as she really liked Alice as her sister-in-law.
Just like her mother, Isla Lane, she thought Alice was excellent and perfectly matched her brother.
"I’m not joking, and I’m not playing around. I know marriage is not child’s play, and the divorce is a decision both of us have thought about for a long ti." Alice Turner did not want to hide anymore; things had reached this point, and she felt there was no problem discussing it openly.
"What?! Divorce is a decision the two of you made after much thought?" Charlotte Shaw was completely confused by Alice Turner. Just now, she thought it was Alice who unilaterally proposed the divorce, but now it sounded like it was a mutual decision.
They had already agreed to divorce, so why make up this whole pregnancy scenario? Isn’t that contradictory?
No, sothing must have happened in between.
Her brother said the news of his wife being pregnant was likely true. Now that they were getting divorced, his wife wanted to abort the child, and her brother couldn’t stop her, so he called the family, hoping they could persuade his wife.
This must be it. Her brother knew the family liked his wife, and she got along well with the family mbers.
Charlotte Shaw, thinking she had accurately deduced the situation, confidently continued without waiting for Alice Turner to respond: "Alice! You absolutely must not act on impulse. Think carefully about the divorce; do not rush this decision."
"And about the child, you must remain calm. After all, it is a life, and you can’t abort the child." She was very anxious, not wanting her brother and his wife to divorce, nor did she want her sister-in-law to abort the child.
What does she an by not aborting the child? Where did this "child" co from?
Just now, she was talking about divorce, and the other person started talking about a child?
Alice Turner felt cornered by the false news about her pregnancy. Now she felt no matter what she said, the other person wouldn’t believe she wasn’t pregnant.
"Sis! Let reiterate, I’m not pregnant, no! The pregnancy issue is sothing Benjamin Shaw made up." She once again declared to the person on the phone that she was not pregnant, and it was all made up by that man.
"Alice! Don’t get angry; it’s not good for the baby. I’ll co over to find..."
"I am not pregnant!"
Charlotte Shaw’s refusal to believe her angered Alice Turner, and without waiting for Charlotte to finish, she rudely interrupted her.
After speaking emphatically that she was not pregnant, she angrily hung up the phone. In her rage, she didn’t care about anything else.
Alice Turner was so angry she was panting heavily. It took her a long ti to calm down. Once her breathing was steady, she picked up the phone, found Benjamin Shaw’s number, and imdiately dialed it.
"Sorry! The number you are calling is busy."
Benjamin Shaw’s phone was busy, but Alice Turner did not stop there. She dialed his number again, only to hear the sa result.
After that, she called several more tis, but the line was still busy. She thought he must have been tied up by his mom or sister, so she didn’t waste more phone battery trying to reach him.
