Chapter 2454

"Yannie is still too young; she hasn't even had a boyfriend before.

"If she's fortunate enough to get married to a nice man and have children with him, I won't even
continue working as a babysitter anymore.I'll just stay home and take care of her children for her."

Mrs.Flores' reply had left a lasting impression in Luna's mind that Yannie was a conservative and prim
girl who would save herself for marriage.

This was why Luna had been so shocked when she found out about Yannie and Thomas' illegitimate
child.

"My mother...has no idea."

Yannie bit her lip and shot Luna a pleading glance.

"Ms.Luna, please...don't tell my mother.I—I've been hiding this from her all this while."

Tears slid down her cheeks as she stammered, "You saw for yourself how traditional my mother's
mindset is...

"The truth is, I had gone to Europa in her stead, and if she found out that I've lost my virginity and even
got pregnant with a stranger's child because of her...her blood pressure will skyrocket, and her heart
won't be able to take it!"

She sniffed and continued in sobs, "I had gone on that trip with Father Samuel, and after that incident, I
had no choice but to ask him for help.



"Father Samuel is a priest and has always been against abortion, but when I went to him for help, he
suggested that I abort the baby.In his words, some rules can be broken, especially when it comes to
lives that shouldn't have been born in the first place.From that day onward, I knew I wasn't supposed to
keep the child, but..."

She bit her lip.

"As the child grew inside my belly, I couldn't help wanting to keep him by my side at all costs, even if
his father was an asshole.Not to mention at that time, I had not realized Thomas Howard's true colors
yet, so..."

She lifted her head to stare at Luna with tear-stained eyes.

"Do you understand how I'm feeling, Ms.Luna?"

Luna sighed and nodded in agreement.How could she not? Even when her life was on the line, she,
too, had wanted to keep her children safe at all costs.

At that time, she had been tricked into thinking that Joshua had cheated on her with Aura, even
knowing that Joshua was an unfaithful husband did not change her mind about keeping the triplets.

The reason for this was simple: these three children had grown up inside her womb and were literally a
part of her! How could she not understand what Yannie was going through? Luna sighed, still holding
Yannie in her arms, and said, "Yannie, please believe that things will only get better from here.Now, all
you have to do is stay away from Thomas Howard."

Then, she closed her eyes.

Neither she nor Joshua had ever imagined that Yannie and Thomas ' lives would be intertwined in this
way.



If they had known, she would not have insisted on hiring Yannie as her assistant and even started a bet
with Thomas over Yannie's loyalty toward her.She should have known.She should have suspected this
from the moment Yannie had her outburst toward Thomas.

Yannie's behavior was no different from hers when she returned to Banyan City to confront Joshua.

"This is all me and Joshua's fault.In the future, I promise I'll do my best to keep you away from
Thomas.Otherwise, it'll be too difficult for you to move on."

A surge of warmth spread through Yannie's heart when she heard this.

A split second later, however, she bit her lip and said, "You don't have to do this for me, Ms.Luna.”

"I think I'll eventually be able to overcome this."
