Chapter 371: The Bargain.
"Arissa?" Jocelyn held both sides of Arissa’s shoulders and helped her to turn fully to her, "What happened? Did he talk about not wanting a baby?" her eyes searched Arissa’s face curiously.
Arissa stayed silent and it killed Jocelyn.
She shook Arissa’s shoulders, "Talk to me, girl. Did he refuse the baby? Aren’t you both already on good terms?" she interrogated, her heart thumping loudly.
Arissa shook her head and wrapped her hands around herself, "He wants the baby. He has always wanted a baby from me but he seems to be going through a lot lately and I think it has something to do with me and now, I’m adding the baby to myself. It’s just as if I decided to give him another burden on purpose," she cried.
A slight frown marred Jocelyn’s face, "So what are you thinking? You want to abort the baby or what?"
"No," Arissa countered immediately, "I can’t do that, I already love my baby so much, and even if I do not want or love him, I would never think of such,"
Jocelyn blinked softly and spread her arms apart for Arissa. Arissa immediately threw herself into the hug and freed her heart from tears.
"I know you won’t think of such," Jocelyn said giving Arissa a tender pat on her back, "I know you love your baby. You’ve always wanted a family but held back because you assumed you’d make a bad mother which was false. Just stop crying so much, your high emotions won’t be good for the baby,"
Arissa giggled in the hug and wiped her tears, "I never guessed that... To be honest, I’m so lost at this moment," she opened up and parted from the hug.
