Isabella never saw herself telling Charles that part of her past so soon. In fact, if she had a way, she would have made sure that he never finds out. But then… she just told him he was once a father.
Rather, she just informed him that he would have been a father if not for the situation surrounding her life then.
“You were carrying my child?” A visibly angry Charles asked as though wanting to be certain he had not heard the wrong thing. She gave a short nod to his question. “What happened then? Wait a minute…”
His head tilted to the side, his fingers danced in the air in eccentric circles as he seemed to reason something. “Isabella?”
“Yes Charles?” She wasn’t surprised that tears were already falling from her eyes. She took a second to wipe her face before looking his way again.
