Summary
The silence grew heavier and heavier, until Penelope let out with the most broken voice Benedict had ever heard from her “He left me”.
He slowly took her in his arms as she sniffed softly in his shirt.
“We Bridgertons take care of each other” Benedict offered. “If you’re pregnant, that baby will have everything they could ever need”.
Whatever warmth that had started to crawl into Penelope faded in an instant. She got herself free of his arms and fought back the tears. Was that it? Was that his only concern? A hypothetical baby? She thought she was a part of the family, as honorary as the title got. Was that the condition under which she could be a “Bridgerton”? Have Colin’s child? Did he care so little about her as a person if she was not pregnant? Now that Colin had left, she felt like a problem that the Bridgerton family needed to solve.
