«My father did give me some money in secret for an abortion. He told me that a young girl with a child had a difficult life,» Lara said.
She had no intention of lying. And she could not back up any story.
Saying her parents were dead might have required a grave, and she was not in the right mind to look for two Claytons in the graveyards.
And she didn't want to sugarcoat reality. She didn't like complaining, but Nate deserved to know the truth about his children. From the beginning to the end.
Also, only telling the truth, she could hope Nate would help her understand how to raise them better.
«What did you do, then?»
«I took the money and paid the hospital when I gave birth to them,» Lara replied with a chuckle. «I found out there were two babies only at the fifth month. I didn't go on checkups because... Well, I was just stubborn.»
«Did you regret your decision then?»
«I wouldn't have aborted even if I knew it from the start.»
«That's not what I meant. I'm sorry.»
