Chương 186: Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Six

"It is always wise to be prepared for the worst. Joey loves you Penny. He is prepared to be there for you and your child. He's ready to give you both his protection. He won't ask anything more of you. I am sure of that. You could just go on together the way you are now... Being good friends and nothing more, unless you wanted it "

"It wouldn't be fair to Joey" Penny said. "I can't let him make such a sacrifice just for me"

"That is dramatising the situation" Audrey replied. "Supposing the position were reversed... That Jeremy had been in love with a woman who died giving birth to a baby, that you were in love with him but knew he still loved the other woman. Wouldn't you take responsibility of his child for his sake and for the pleasure of being with him... Knowing that he would always be a part of your life?"

"Yes" Penny said without hesitation.

"You wouldn't think it such a dreadful sacrifice?"

"No" Penny replied.
