Chapter 331: Mind in chaos V

There was a moment of silence as Charlton let the words Serena said sink in. He replayed her words in his mind and his heart started beating erratically. If Serena's pregnant then what step should he take next? Should he propose earlier? Should he take her and hide her away? But aren't women supposed to be in confinement when pregnant especially the 1st trimester? How far along was she? Gods, the timing wasn't ideal, but still, a bud of happiness grew in his heart.

"Charlton? Why are you not saying anything?" Serena asked when she did not hear him reply. Does he not want her anymore? Was he thinking of abandoning her now? 

Charlton could hear her panicking based on her voice. Was she scared? He wanted to go to her side that very instance. But he had to reassure her now. "Serena, please know that if that were the case, then I'm very happy and thankful. I love you and you're not through this alone. Okay?"
