Bella Scott was left speechless by Howard Davis's words.
She couldn't remember her past, and couldn't give Edward Anderson what he wanted. Bella knew the implication of Howard's words, that she could only choose between Cindy and Edward.
If she chose Edward, it would be like abandoning her own child.
If she chose Cindy, there would always be a thorn in Edward's heart, and no one would be happy.
If she couldn't tolerate Edward having an illegitimate child, how could she ask him to tolerate her own illegitimate child?
Moreover, everyone said that Edward was very fond of her. It was because of this fondness that he couldn't accept the slightest flaw, right?
"Let me think about it, I need some time to think clearly." Bella said in a low voice.
She suddenly understood that she also liked Edward. No matter how much she liked him, her feelings were genuine.
She just regretted that liking someone didn't mean they could be together forever.
