CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1499

Well, whatever... I suppose I don't have to worry that much now that I know she's fine. I've been hoping for her to forget about Stanley a long time ago, but she never could bring herself to do so. I guess I should be glad that she has forgotten about him, even if she did resort to an extreme method. At the very least, she can go back to being herself again. Wait, there's one more problem... Back then, Joyce had insisted on keeping the baby out of her love for Stanley. Now that she no longer loves him, would she still want the baby?

With that in mind, Caitlin pointed at Joyce's tummy and asked, “By the way, Joyce, what will you do about the baby?”

“I'll keep the baby, obviously!” Joyce replied while rubbing her tummy.

Caitlin was shocked. “You want to keep the baby?”

Logically speaking, she should be wanting an abortion now that she doesn't love Stanley anymore. No woman in her right mind would want to bear the child of a man who doesn't love her.

“Yeah, I'm keeping the baby. While I may no longer love Stanley, my love for his child still remains. Besides, I told myself in the letter to look after this child, didn't I? That sentence alone was enough to show me how much I love this child. As such, I have decided to keep the baby,” Joyce replied with a serious look on her face.

Caitlin let out a sigh upon hearing that. “All right, you can keep the baby. After all, we did say all four of us are going to live a happy life from now on.”

Joyce nodded. “Thanks, Mom!”

Caitlin simply smiled as she shook her head helplessly.

Fine, Joyce can keep the baby if she wants to. Since she no longer loves Stanley, seeing the baby won't bring back those painful memories. Besides, Jonathan isn't getting any younger. He's been wanting grandchildren of his own ever since he saw Nat with her two kids, so keeping this baby is probably the right thing to do.

“You go ahead and get some rest, Joyce. I'll go talk to your father about this so he won't worry about you,” Caitlin said while gently patting her on the head.

“Okay, Mom.”

Caitlin then walked out of the room with a relieved smile on her face.

Joyce waited until she was gone before giving Natalie a call.

Due to the selective nature of dissociative amnesia, she still remembered Natalie even though she had forgotten about Stanley.

The call got through fairly quickly, and Natalie's voice could be heard on the other line. “Hi, Joyce!”

“Nat, there's something I need to talk to you about,” Joyce said.

“What is it?” Natalie asked while evaluating the blueprints submitted by the participants in her team.

Joyce bit down on her lip and hesitated for a few seconds before continuing, “I... I got myself hypnotized so I could forget about the guy named 'Stanley.”‘

The line went silent instantly.

After what seemed like forever, Natalie finally processed what she had just heard and leaped to her feet in shock. “What did you say? You got yourself hypnotized to forget about Stanley?”

Lina, who was busy working next to her, exclaimed in shock, “Say what?”

Natalie shook her head in an attempt to calm herself down. “It seems Joyce has done something crazy. I'll ask her for more information,” she said with a stern expression.

“Okay.” Having lost the mood to work, Lina placed her pen down and kept her eyes fixated on Natalie.

After all, there was no way she could remain calm after hearing what Joyce had done. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Having heard the shock and disbelief in Natalie's voice, Joyce took a deep breath before continuing, “As I said, I put myself through hypnotherapy to help me forget about Stanley.”

This time, Natalie was absolutely certain that she had heard her correctly. “W-Why would you do such a thing, Joyce? Do you have any idea how dangerous that is?”
