Never You
Episode One
Charlie
How could you do this without even consulting me first?
Madeline
You must know I did this for the security of our family and your future
Charlie
My future? Do you think I honestly believe that?
Madeline
The Marc's are the best family there is considering your situation
Madeline remained silent. She was trying her best to not discuss about her only son's past.
Charlie
That I am expecting a baby with Jules?
Madeline
They have agreed on this. The Marc's are fine with this. Their daughter has an eccentric personality. They are only marrying her off to us because she is a hopeless daughter for her. You can have the life you want with Jules, except there will be no label.
Charlie
No label? I LOVE her. I promised her everything and I cannot take that back or lie with the same mouth. Mother, I can't—
Madeline
You marry her. You are the eldest of the future Hales. You keep forgetting that, Charles.
Charlie
I am a man. A Hales. And I am capable enough to make a decision on my own life.
Madeline
I do not trust Gordon or Alfred with all this! How could you not understand?
Charlie
Why can't you just accept Jules?
Madeline
Because Jules' father was the one who caused all that scandal in our family. Might I remind you how hard it was to wipe it away. It is still a topic of conversation in many events in the society.
Charlie
But Jules loves me and we're having a baby!
Madeline
You can love her. But in silence.
Madeline
I will leave you to your father with this.
Madeline
I know how it is to lose someone you love when you're both fighting for yourselves. But sometime, the sacrifices must be forced.
Charlie
Do you wish this for your grandchild?
Madeline
Your father and I have decided upon this for the sole purpose of the family. Family comes first, Charles.
Charlie
But mother, this is not—
Madeline
Clementine will not be a problem for you. Like I said, she is the kind of woman men avoid. She is a man-eater. Her reputation is quite damaged in the society. But it's only the eldest daughters keeping it up. Otherwise the Marc's would've been destroyed.
Charlie
I don't wish to know about her...
Charlie's brows furrowed. He does not care a thing about this Clementine. Jules and the baby she's carrying has occupied his head all around.
Madeline
I hate her. Ever since she was a child. And even now. Jules is my daughter-in-law but please, Charles dear... understand what is at stake.
Charlie
A stupid reputation?
Madeline
More than that. But I will leave that for later.
Madeline
Later, Charles... I'm tired.
Charles knew his family had secrets, secrets that could potentially ruin everything. But how much of it would actually resurface was more intimidating.
He loves his college sweetheart Jules and he will keep her safe and proud. He will not hide her. And he will definitely not marry the Marc girl. He is set on having his woman and the child she is carrying. The baby was a promise of his love. He cannot and will not break that for the sake of some mysterious secret and a fake reputation.
