A double entendre!
Serena Hughes thought of the slap from her mother that had reddened her face, and a wave of sadness washed over her.
"I didn't lie to Mr. Hawthorne… He only started being cold to me after he found out about your abortion." Serena Hughes's voice was full of grievance. "Cecilia Nathan, Mr. Hawthorne told you to have the baby, so why did you have to get rid of it?"
Serena would have preferred Cecilia Nathan to have the baby. That way, at least Mr. Hawthorne wouldn't feel so guilty.
The day Cecilia Nathan had her abortion was the same day he had proposed to her.
Even if Damian Hawthorne disliked Cecilia Nathan, the baby was still his. It was impossible for him not to care.
She even suspected that Cecilia had done it on purpose.
Serena Hughes emphasized the word "abortion," and the few people present all heard it clearly.
Getting pregnant out of wedlock and having an abortion were not things to be proud of.
Serena Hughes's words dripped with sarcasm.
