Chapter 474 - The Role Of A Friend (2/2)
Tara looked at her friend, she thought for a moment and then said, ”You're not stupid. When you weigh on your feelings more than yourself, you will lose your way,”
After that, Tara continued, ”Don't bother persuading me. I won't come back. I still can live well and be happy. But that doesn't mean I have to live with Nico. I can live alone, without any man. Anya, you must learn to love yourself before loving anyone else. No matter what, you must be selfish. Don't let yourself to be treated unfairly,”
”Do you think I'm pathetic?” Anya asked with a thin smile.
”Don't you feel that way? Have you ever thought that you would become pregnant and have children before you graduated? You've even received an offer to the best academy in France just like your dreams, but you have to give up because of your circumstances. You even hide it from everyone. If Aiden doesn't want to divorce you, will you tell him about the academy? Are you stupid?” Tara was irritated and put fried chicken in her mouth.
Hearing Tara's annoyance, Anya chuckled but said nothing.
It's true that she was stupid. She put her dream aside because of her love for a man.
She was willing to bear his child and give birth to their child, but the man wanted to divorce her and forced her to abort her pregnancy.
”Why are you laughing instead? Am I wrong?” Tara asked. She put down the spoon and looked closely at Anya. ”I left Nico's house and wanted to cancel my engagement. Looks like I've offended the Atmajaya Family. I don't mind offending them again,”
”Hmm… Just say what you want to say. Don't hold back,” Anya said while looking at Tara seriously.
”Don't look at me that seriously. I'm embarrassed,” Tara laughed and asked. ”Anya, do you know how long it takes to have a child?”
”Nine months,” Anya replied.
”No, you need a lifetime,” Tara replied. ”You need nine months just to give birth. After that, it will take you all your life to care for the child. Every day, you have to carry out your responsibilities as a parent.”
Anya nodded. She didn't oppose Tara's words. Up until now, her mother was still worrying and taking care of her.
”I know you intend to give birth to this child. If you can take this child with you, there will be no problem. But if you can't take them away from the Atmajaya Family, your child will have to live with their stepmother,” Tara continued with a serious expression.
”What else?” Anya smiled.
”You can't do anything during your pregnancy. After the child is born, you have to study and care for the child. Can you do it though? Caring for a child isn't limited to feeding them and watching them over. You also have to educate and take good care of them. Even if you move out with your mother, do you think you can feed the three of you? If you are willing to divorce from Aiden, I advise you not to give birth to this child,” Tara said.
”This is the first time you've suggested that to me,” Anya muttered
”I am Nico's fiancée. Of course I also hope your relationship with Aiden will last. But now, I play the role of your best friend. I thought of everything from your point of view. If Aiden insists on getting a divorce, why do you have to sacrifice yourself to give birth to a child?”
”I didn't give birth to this child for Aiden. This is my child. This divorce has nothing to do with the child in my womb. They're innocent,” Anya said firmly.
”Anya, if you want this child, you have to work twice as hard as before. No… Maybe ten times harder than before. Can you?” Tara asked while glaring at Anya.
”I've thought of everything. As long as the Atmajaya Family agrees that I give birth to this child, I will postpone my studies. I will give birth to this child and take care of them. After that, I will return to pursue my career,” Anya said calmly.
”How about your child? You won't be able to take them with you while studying,” Tara asked.
