Chapter 1451 Something Happened to Daphne

"Oh, it's nothing. These were given to me by the villagers, but I have no use for them, so I just brought them along. After all, you already have a lot of things, so I don't really need to give you anything. After thinking about it, I decided to give you this. As long as you like it. If you finish it, I'll have someone go back to the countryside to get more."

"Okay, we'll let you know about it when we finish them." Mary smiled and carried the bag to the kitchen. As for the massager that Charles gave, it was left aside. After all, Sonia couldn't use it now. Zane looked at Charles who was in a bad mood and provocatively smiled. "So, my gift is more useful, right?"

Charles snorted. "What's there to be proud of? It's just useful now. That doesn't mean my gift won't be useful in the future. My gift will come in handy later. You don't understand anything."

"So what if it'll be useful later? The things I gave can be eaten. I can give her those delicacies to eat for a lifetime. Can your gift do that?"

"Who said it can't? When she's older, it will be necessary for her to use a massager to relieve body aches and pains, so it can be used for a lifetime too."

The two of them argued back and forth, refusing to admit defeat, and it looked like they would argue again. Sonia had a headache and quickly stopped them. "Alright, alright. Both of your gifts are great. I like them both, and they can both be used for a lifetime. That's enough. Stop arguing."

"Sonny, it's not that I want to argue. It's just that this guy is too much. I ignored him, but he came to provoke me," Charles pointed at Zane while complaining.

Zane let out a snort. "If I was provoking you, you also foolishly provoked me back. If you ignore me, will we end up arguing?"

Charles looked at him incredulously. "So, it's my fault then?"

Zane snorted again, indicating that he meant exactly that.

"You..." Charles wanted to retort, but his phone rang in his pocket, interrupting him. He had no choice but to pause and take out his phone. When he saw the caller ID, his expression suddenly turned complex, and he walked to the side to answer the call.

Sonia saw this and pursed her lips. She had guessed who was calling. It was either Daphne or the person taking care of her. In the past, Charles never avoided her when he answered calls even if it was a company matter. It was only when it came to Daphne that he acted this way. It had been a long time since the New Year, and Charles still hadn't figured things out.

Sonia shook her head helplessly. Daphne was probably more than five months pregnant now. In a few more months, the baby would be born. She wondered what Charles was thinking and if he planned to marry Daphne. Did Charles really plan to let his child bear the stigma of being an illegitimate child?

Sonia's eyes flashed when she thought of this. Charles' mother didn't know about this yet. If Charles really had no intention of giving the child a proper family, she would tell his mother about it. After all, Charles was going overboard. He despised Daphne but still forced her to give birth to this child. What would he do after the child was born? Would he abandon Daphne? Would he let his child bear the shameful identity of an illegitimate child? In any case, no matter how she looked at it, Charles' actions

were unjust and he had to be punished by his mother.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard Charles' voice rise in volume, sounding both agitated and surprised. "What did you say? She fell?"

Sonia heard the word "fell" and immediately became anxious. "Charles, what's going on? Did something happen to Daphne?"

Charles didn't answer her and just tightened his grip on the phone, speaking with an extremely tense voice to the person on the other end of the line. "I got it. Have the doctor check on her. I'll be back soon."

After he hung up the phone, he turned around. Although his face was expressionless, it was clear to everyone that he was in a bad mood and very worried.

"Sonny, I have to go. Something came up. I'll visit you next time."

"Charles, answer me honestly. Did something happen to Daphne? I heard you say she fell. Is the baby okay?" Sonia gripped her phone tightly and asked anxiously.

Zane, who had been eavesdropping, raised his eyebrows.

The baby? That was a lot of information.

Charles looked at Sonia and finally lowered his eyes, hiding his emotions. He didn't answer her, but his silence spoke volumes. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Sonia's heart sank a little. "I understand. Charles, you should go back now. Daphne and the baby are important. Call me later and let me know what happened. I know you don't want to tell me these things, but don't forget, Daphne is also my friend. If I don't know the situation of her and the baby, I will be worried. I hope you can think it over."

"Okay," Charles finally responded before turning and leaving.

After he left, Zane quickly threw away the apple core in his hand and asked excitedly, "Sonia, what's going on? I heard you talking about Daphne and some baby. If I remember correctly, Daphne is your chief secretary, right? What happened between her and Charles?"

Seeing his curiosity, Sonia didn't hide it from him. After all, this matter was no longer a secret. "Daphne is my chief secretary, but that was before. She has resigned. As for her and Charles, they were college classmates, and Daphne used to be Charles' chief secretary too. Because I needed more help when I returned to Paradigm Co., Charles let Daphne work for me. However, Daphne has always liked Charles, so the two of them unexpectedly got together and had a baby."

"Wow..." Zane gasped. "I didn't expect Charles to be so capable. He silently conceived a child, and he hid it so well that no outsiders knew about it."

Sonia nodded. "Charles didn't like Daphne before, and the sex was an unexpected situation. The appearance of the baby was also something that they didn't expect. Daphne originally wanted to have an abortion and pretend that nothing had happened, but Charles found out and stopped her. Then he took Daphne to one of his villas and told her to rest there and deliver the baby there."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Zane still didn't understand.

Sonia sighed. "It's a good thing, but also a bad thing. I just said that Charles used to not like Daphne that way, so telling her to deliver the baby is already an incomprehensible act. Charles may like her now, but he seems unwilling to accept this fact. So, he still hasn't shown any intention of marrying Daphne, and he has been keeping this matter secret. If I hadn't accidentally discovered Daphne's whereabouts, I wouldn't have known that Charles had locked her up there."

"So, Charles doesn't plan to marry your secretary nor give that baby a legitimate identity?" Zane rubbed his chin and asked.

Sonia nodded. "That's what it looks like for now. That's why I've been struggling with whether or not to tell his mother about this. Charles' actions are too selfish."

"Indeed." Zane nodded.
