Chapter 90 Camilla POV… A few days went by and it was time for Zelma and Jared to return back overseas since schools will be opening soon. Although I was reluctant to part with my sister, I knew that it was only right for me to let her go. I personally sent her to the airport together with Lucien, and it was hard to part after spending three months together. At the airport… I looked at the young man standing there with the air of nobility around him, looking like a proper boyfriend. “Jared, I am leaving Zelma in your care now. She is young and clumsy, please be tolerant towards her and lead her in the right path!” I said as I clasped my hands together. “sister-in-law, don’t worry. I will take care of Zelma and I will make sure that she studies well. I will also ensure her safety and make sure that nothing happens to her.” Jared said and I was glad that he was able to understand my worries. I have noticed that although he was only eighteen, he had a very high IQ and EQ and after
Chapter 91 Camilla POV… Two weeks went by in a flash after Zelma left. Lucien and I have been extremely busy in the past two weeks. Sometimes, we would even miss each other as one would come home very late while the other left very early. Crawford corporation had met with some problem but it has been solved. Watching the share raising at a constant rate, I could finally heave a sigh of relief. In the past two weeks, I almost gave up but remembering that it took Lucien his effort and time to give me this company, I persisted. And now my hard work has started to pay off. The shareholders and other executives also had nothing to say now seeing that the company was on the right track. The voices that were against me have also quietened down. It was slightly past midday. I did not have an appetite for anything so I hadn’t had a bite for lunch. It is not just today, but for the past few days, I haven’t had the urge to eat something. Every time I came in contact with the smell of food,
Chapter 92 Camilla POV… When I heard that Lucien was also at emperor hotel, I was pleasantly surprised. “Uhm, are you done with your stuff?” I asked over the phone when he said that he wanted to come over. “Yeah, just done. What about you?” “I am done, I am in room 307, just come over.” I said over the phone. I was done discussing business with this man. Whether I got the deal or not, I don’t think that it matters to me. “Seems like miss West is adamant on leaving?” “Yes, there is nothing to discuss between us. My husband is coming to pick me up.” I said without sparing the man a glance. “Miss West is already married? I had no idea.” The man said. “Yeah. I am a married woman.” I spoke. Shortly after, Lucien arrived. “Why are you wearing so little? Didn’t I tell you that city N has become cold recently?” Lucien said the moment he walked in, not even sparing the man who was sitting opposite me a glance. “I am already wearing enough. Just look at how bundled up I am.” I said a
Chapter 93Camilla POV…The doctor did not dare to delay any longer. After all the fuss of drawing my blood and everything, we sat in the doctor’s office as we patiently waited for the results.By now, I was so tired that I did not even have the energy to keep my eyes open.“You can sleep for a while.” Lucien said as he looked at me. We were seating on a three-seater sofa and although this was someone’s office, I was greatly tempted.“It might take a while. I will wake you up when the doctor comes.”“Okay.” I nodded and laid my head on Lucien’s lap. I could not care less if this was someone’s office as fatigue overcame me and I drifted into darkness.…Lucien POV…Hearing the soft breath on my lap, I removed my coat and gently covered her. After taking over as mayor, I have been running all around the city stabilizing things that I hardly had time to relax. I did not expect that this girl would neglect herself to such extent.Her face was deathly pale and even her lips were slightly c
Chapter 94Lucien POV…“I think dinner should be ready by now. Don’t you want to wash up first?”“I feel lethargic, I think I will go and take a shower.”She stood up quickly and my soul almost left my body when I saw her stumble forward as if she was going to fall.“Careful!” I shouted as I gently caught her in my arms.“Darling, why are you so nervous? It is not like I was really going to fall. And even if I fall, I am not made of glass.” She said and I only looked at her without saying anything. wait till you learn that you are pregnant, then you will know why I am frightened.“Just be careful. You know what, I will just carry you there.” I said and before she could react, I carried her to the bathroom.I have already covered the bathroom with non-slippery vinyl flooring. What if she slipped and fell while showering, I cannot let any accidents happen.Just in the few hours, I have redecorated the whole house with warm and fluffy carpets. She is so clumsy when she is at home that s
Chapter 95Camilla POV…After visiting the hospital, the doctor said that my pregnancy was not stable because of my fluctuating moods over the last few weeks since I conceived, so I needed proper rest.Thus, ever since we left the hospital, I have been staying at home, nursing my health back to normal for the sake of my baby.Although I was bored at first, I got used to it already. Lucien was so busy with his work, besides he had to keep a look out on the Crawford corporation, so his work load increased tremendously.“Darling, it is time to get some rest.” I said as I looked at the busy man who was still looking through documents at this hour of the night.“Just one more.” He said without lifting his head. It had been like these every day for the past week since I started to stay at home.I had to force him every time before he could go to bed. My heart ached so much as I looked at his tensed neck, he seemed to be under a lot of pressure.Why didn’t I take care of myself properly. If
Chapter 96Camilla POV…After having breakfast, I did not throw up like the past few days. I was very happy because puking my guts out any moment I eat something was starting to get on my nerve.I did not waste a single moment as I made my way to the study room. In the past, whenever I thought about those black and white letters that were never ending; I always had a headache, but as of late I have become accustomed to them that, I have felt like I have been missing something over the past few days I haven’t looked at them.But now that I was going to look at them, I could not help but feel excited at the thought of it.But when I looked at the first document, my face shifted. Wasn’t this way too easy. Lucien was the one who selected these documents for me but, wasn’t there something wrong with them.I looked through to the tenth document and my face turned dark that ink could drip from it at any moment. Was he kidding me? even if he wanted to reduce my workload, he can’t do this to m
Chapter 97Camilla POV…The warrior’s competition soon began. I was already in the fourth month of pregnancy and the critical stage had passed. I had even gained a few pounds in weight and my belly was starting to show.“Today is the first day of the warrior’s competition, will you attend?” I asked Lucien as I helped him fasten his tie. He was wearing a bright maroon suit and he looked too dashing that I could not take my eyes off him.When we started to stay together, I had noticed that his wardrobe was too dull; mainly consisting of black or white suits. But on my insistent nagging and the fact that he cannot refuse any of my request, he started donning more colorful outfits.“Yes. Until the last day. I am not allowed to skip even a day.”I almost forgot that he was the mayor and he had to superintend the whole competition. I have been very sluggish lately and tend to forget a lot of things, it cannot be baby brain, right?“Then we will go together. That brat Pete kept calling me si
Chapter 123 (THE END)!!Jared POV…With the pregnancy news, the wedding preparations began.Actually, I had already started preparing one year ago when Zelma told me that she wanted to see the fields in South America and ride the horses. It was one of the places she wanted to visit and she wished that we could our wedding there.The preparations were in the last stage and it was done after one month.I had not planned to hold our wedding in such a hurry but because she was pregnant, we had to do it when it was still convenient, or else it would be hard for her to move around in the later stages of the pregnancy.Camilla was already heavily pregnant but she insisted on tagging along. There was nothing we could do about it.On the day itself…The weather was very sunny, just perfect for an outdoor wedding. Lucien was my best man and I was sitting on my chair nervously, listening to his nagging. I was about to marry the only woman who could make my heart race and blood boil, how could I
Chapter 122Jared POV…I have never felt this bad. It was only thirty minutes but I felt that I have been waiting for eternity. When the doctor finally lifted his head, I rushed over without hesitation. "Doctor Smith, what is wrong with her?" I inquired. I was so nervous that I held my breath for a moment."Young master, don't be nervous, nothing is wrong with the young mistress." The doctor and I looked at him as if he was joking.Nothing wrong with her? Then why would she be puking her guts out?"Are you a sure doctor? Earlier she…!""I am sure. She is totally fine, just a little exhausted. As for her vomiting, I think that she might be expectant." The doctor said and I felt my heart stop beating for a moment."What did you… what did you just say? Expe what?""Young master, I said that young mistress might expectant. The hormones in her body trigger the vomiting, which is a common occurrence when one is pregnant.""Are sure about that?" My head was buzzing with different sounds and
Chapter 121 Zelma POV… The huge dining table was filled with all kinds of dishes. From seafood to western cuisine. It was simply a feast to a foodie like me.On the huge table was Damon, Jared's father, sitting at the main seat. On his left was his wife Sara, who was Jared's mom, and my mother-in-law. The one next to him was her sister, Jared's aunt, and some other core members of the pack.On Damon's side, Jared sat next to his father and I naturally took the seat beside him. Camilla was sitting beside me and next to her was try them Lucien came last. It was a family gathering so, everyone at the table was an important member of this family."You did well tonight." Jared's mom said as she looked at me with a gentle smile."Thank you, mom." I lowered my head and said in a shy voice. I was not used to calling her mom yet, especially in front of so many people, so it sounded a little unnatural."Good, good girl. Let us eat before the food gets ready. Everyone has been busy the who
Chapter 120 Zelma POV… After seeing my sister, I was much more relieved and my tensed heart finally relaxed.I knew that Jared's parents were doing what was best for us and they will never do anything to harm me but regardless I was still considered new to this place. Having a familiar face around was the only thing that I needed."You guys talk but don't take too long. Zelma, you have to finish your makeup, the party will be starting soon." Jared said. I looked at him with grateful eyes as he dragged everyone outside the room, leaving only me and my sister.The moment I heard the door close from outside, I immediately threw myself at my sister without caring about anything."Sis, thank you for coming," I spoke, letting my tears flow freely on her shoulder. If someone asked me why I was crying, I would surely have nothing to say. I just wanted the moment I saw my sister enter the room. Maybe just missed her too much."It is okay. You need to be careful." My sister said, caressing
Chapter 119Jared POV…It was great that this little girl had graduated. We could finally go home and start our life. I have been with her for more than two months, from the time she started preparing her exams to the time she graduated. I left the pack matters to my father and I have never felt so relaxed in my life.My mother had been nagging for a long time so we had no choice but to take the next flight out of the city the moment the graduation ceremony ended.I wanted to celebrate with her but my mother said that they have organized everything so, we could only go back.It was not far from school to my home and we took approximately one hour on the plane. The driver was already waiting when we landed so we went home directly.“Why do I feel so nervous.” Zelma said and I looked at her.“Why are you feeling nervous? It is not like it is your first day going home!” I spoke.“I don’t know why I am feeling that way. My heart is just a little nervous.”“Just be yourself. You know how m
Chapter 118Zelma POV…I was busy with exams and graduation and before I realized it, one month had gone by in flash.I was sitting in the graduation square with Jared and other grandaunts. He had already graduated a year ago and he was just here accompany me.“I can’t believe that I am actually graduating. It feels like yesterday when I remember the first time I set foot in this school.” I lamented as I looked at my excited classmates. I had been here from primary to high school and now I was graduating.It was a little hard to part with people that I have known for years and I felt a sense of nostalgia, just thinking about how I will not be able to see them again.“I was only a little girl when I joined this school, but look at me, all grown up and about to receive my graduation certificate.” I spoke, looking at Jared who was sitting beside me with a calm look on his face.“Did you feel this excited when you were graduating last year?”“What was there to feel excited about? It was s
Chapter 117Lucien POV…After venting, I felt much better. But after looking at her eyes that were filled with guilty, I felt that I have done something wrong.Why would I reprimand her? I loved her so much that even seeing her frown made my heart hurt. wouldn’t I have just given in one last time. I know that she did not mean it but I could not keep my displeasure this time round.I have been looking forward to this day and I had not even gotten time to give her the surprise that I had prepared for her before it got ruined. I was just in a bad mood, and felt pretty bad about it.Seeing her throw herself at me and apologize, my anger dissolved to nothing. I have already pampered her to this stage, who else could I blame? I guess that I will just have to get used to it.I was about to say something when I heard her ask if she could make it up for it. I swallowed the words that I wanted to say swiftly and I looked at her in anticipation. I never imagined that she would be able to reflect
Chapter 116 Camilla POV… Hearing that my darling son missed me, I did not even have the zeal to travel the world anymore. I just wanted to fly to his side right at that moment.The next morning, I looked at Lucien who was all gloomy as we went to board our private plane. He did not seem very willing to go back, but what could I do when my heart had already flown to where my son was. I could not just say no to him when he already acted so cute."What's up?" I asked. He had been looking outside the car window on our way to the airport, not uttering even a single word."It's nothing." He said in a glum voice. He was clearly throwing a tantrum although he did not want to admit it."You look unhappy. Is it because our honeymoon was interrupted?""It is nothing." Seeing that he was not willing to talk about it, I stopped asking....The flight was very comfortable and we soon reached city N. When we arrived home, I immediately went to find my son for a hug without caring about anything.
Chapter 115Lucien POV…Having finally heard her say yes I do and seeing her bearing my family heirloom on her slender finger, I could finally firmly believe that she is mine, for life! It has been quite hectic ever since we met, a lot of things happening, but we could finally relax and enjoy a few days of happiness on our honeymoon.“What are you staring at?” I asked Camilla who was looking outside the window. It was already the morning of the following day and the weather was really great.“I can’t believe that we are officially husband and wife already,” she said. I had just come from the shower so I walked over while drying my hair.“I thought that you had already gotten used to the title already,” I said calmly, casually throwing the wet towel on the sofa in the room.“Yeah, but it still kind of feels different. I am now bearing your mark. Although it is not some kind of tattoo or something, it still symbolizes that we belong to each other.”“Did you want a tattoo?” I inquired.
