Weeks after that, Jeanne continued her work but her eyes started to feel heavy as the headache caught her real hard. However, she insisted on staying at the office as she really wanted to finish the canvas for the promotional videos. After the canvas was finished, her team would need to proceed with interviewing the production and model team. Then, they would start shooting at the vineyard. It was phase 3 of the marketing plan.
It was such a busy phase and Jeanne did not have any spare time. She rarely spent time for herself, let alone be with Aaron. It had been a while since they talked to each other.
It was then night time and Jeanne still did not finish. The pain really disturbed her focus and efficiency at work. Not to mention her stomach always felt like throwing up, no matter whether she ate or not.
For
Jeanne talked to the doctor in a whisper, asking him to keep her body state a secret from Aaron. As soon as they finished talking, Aaron knocked on the door and went inside.“So, how was everything?” inquired Aaron curiously.The doctor seemed hesitant to reply but Jeanne gave him signs to remember their deal just now.“Hm, nothing much. Just lack of rest due to overwork. Maybe she can rest for a few days and everything should be okay,” explained the doctor and continued to talk about the healthy diet that Jeanne should take.Aaron listened to him thoroughly.“Okay, so you will rest here until tomorrow night,” ordered Aaron while looking at Jeanne. Jeanne wanted to go against the sugg
The office was vacant and dark. It was still dark because Jeanne was the first to arrive.She slowly arranged her steps to Aaron's room. She scanned the entrance card and unlocked the door. Then, she went to the secret room behind the table.Aaron needed to be outstation again. This time, he said it was two weeks.Jeanne closed the door slowly. She felt empty since Aaron's gone. The smell of Aaron still lingered in the room. It smelled so nice on Jeanne's nose.Suddenly, she remembered how she felt when Andy approached that night. As far as she knew, Andy never smelled that bad even when he was drunk but Jeanne really cannot stand the smell. She was about to throw up after smelling Andy that night but she just held it back because she did not want to look weak. She shush
On that morning, Jeanne woke up with a note on the side of the bed.'Ms. Heard, I have prepared the breakfast for you and a bag of clothes for a week, Ordered by Mr. Walters' - HarryAt the front table of the bedroom, there were sushi rolls on top, and clothes for her already hung beside Aaron's cloth in the open wardrobe.Jeanne felt burdened. Aaron was willing to go this far for her. But she herself? Claiming to love Aaron but carrying another man's baby. What an irony.Jeanne looked at the clock, it was still quite early but she needed to dress up fast before anyone saw her in Aaron's bedroom.She quickly went to the bath. That day, donned an off the shoulder guipure lace mini dress, matching it with a white small handbag,
Two weeks passed, and Aaron had finally come back to the office. He was so excited to meet Jeanne. But, that was not the case for Jeanne. She was so afraid and nervous about meeting Aaron. That day, Jeanne wore a bigger cloth to cover her bumping tummy as the baby was growing bigger. It had been almost a month that Jeanne did not see Aaron, so no wonder she was way more nervous.She arrived at the office super early so that she would not meet Aaron. Then, she quickly stirred the tea and made an egg sandwich. It seemed like her drowsiness got worse as the egg sandwich smell got into her nose.“Blueerk, bluerkkk!” Jeanne was about to vomit but she forcefully pulled herself together. She did not want to create an extra scene there.“Jeanne?” Someone called her from behind with a slee
Few weeks passed and they both still live that way. Jeanne wanted to confront Aaron but she was too busy as she needed to table her final work within another one week left. Luckily, she got a great team that helped her out. She just triggered ideas and the team will expand and explore the ideas.That night, Jeanne worked overtime to finish the last two sketches. The clock showed 10 p.m but Jeanne's office light was still open. So did Aaron's office.Jeanne took a rest for a moment. She did not know why she always felt tired and restless lately. She also did not have the appetite to eat normal foods. All she can only eat is sushi rolls which she never liked before.Thinking of sushi, Jeanne suddenly became hungry. Jeanne then took her bento and ate the leftover sushi rolls while continuing her work.
The wind blew gently tonight and it slowly slapped Jeanne's hair. Jeanne was reading by the window of her room and felt a little bit sleepy. These few days, she spent quite some time reading about the pregnancy journey and the preparation to be a mommy. She held her tummy with love.“A few months more, and I will see you, baby. Marmee can't wait,” whispered Jeanne to her belly and caressed it gently.“Marmee?” Asked Andy who appeared at the doorstep with a saucer filled with a glass of milk and supplements.Jeanne looked at him while smiling. She moved to the bed, preparing to sleep while continued,“Yeah, Marmee. I want my children to call me that. It sounds cute, right?”Andy chuckled. He
The atmosphere was dull and depressing in the ward. Jeanne was in the bed. Still unconscious. Andy was on her left side while Aaron was on the right side. Harry, who now acted as a referee for the two guys, sat on the sofa. All of them were immersed in their own thoughts.Suddenly, Jeanne shook her head unconsciously and held her aching head. Both of the guys awoke from their own thoughts and gave their full focus to Jeanne.Jeanne then slowly opened her eyes. From afar, she could see Harry at the tip of her foot. She blinked her eyes and saw both Aaron and Andy beside her. Both of their faces looked worried.“Andy…” whispered Jeanne but loud enough to be heard by them. Andy smirked at Aaron, feeling that Jeanne looked for him first. Aaron's face became reddish, feeling annoyed and irritated with
Jeanne was so grateful that Ma was finally admitted to the hospital and could focus on her treatment. That day, Jeanne went in the morning to visit Ma, not like usual whereas she would come in the evening.“How are you doing, Ma?” Asked Jeanne as she visited Ma at the hospital.“I'm good, never feel better,” answered Ma cheerfully.Jeanne became so thankful that Ma was looking happy.“How are you, dear?” Are you okay being alone at home?”“Yeah, I'm okay. It's better this way,” answered Jeanne while smiling.After Jeanne got out of the hospital, she asked to be alone as her mind became so miserable with
The next morning was the final day before d-day. Jeanne and her team were busy setting up the location and did a test run with the technical team. Jeanne was busy checking everything, making sure that tomorrow went smooth as silk. After a moment, Aaron arrived, coming to see the place as the higher-ups. “How is it going?” Aaron asked Jeanne. Jeanne then explained everything. Throughout the explanation, Aaron felt grateful that Jeanne had planned everything so well. He could not be more proud than this. This woman was indeed a perfect all-rounder. And, this product would surely be a hit together with the vineyard. “Hello?” Jeanne called Aaron after Aaron did not seem to react after she finished explaining. Aaron was daydr
After the paternity test results were finally out, Andy did feel the disappointment but he somehow already felt that he did not belong there. Not to mention that Aaron and Jeanne looked so perfect together…'When will my life be able to settle down?' Asked him alone.Andy wrapped his hands around his head. Despite everything that happened, Aaron and Jeanne were able to forgive him and by giving forgiveness, it seemed like their life became a lot better and calmer.Suddenly, Andy realized that maybe he should be like them. Forgive and forget. That way, his heart could be a lot calmer. Andy continued to think again. Yes, there was someone that deserved to be forgiven. And that person was…. Sara.***That eve
It had been a week since Jeanne was in the hospital. Luckily, both she and the babies were getting better. When she was feeding the baby,“Surprise!” Shouted Rex, Dita, and Cara were at the doorstep steps with all the excited smiling faces and gifts.Jeanne felt so happy and excited with their presence.“OMG! Look at these two plushies. So cute!” Said Dita who was always a fan of babies.“Look at those small hands. Only 1 week old but looking so fat already!” Teased Rex to the babies.All of them laughed hard.“Sorry that we cannot come earlier. Well, you know why?” Asked Cara to Jeanne.
Aaron nervously accompanied Jeanne to the operation theatre.“Hang in there, honey!” Cried Aaron while holding her hands hard.Jeanne's eyes were closed and she breathed with the support of the ventilator after the medical staff CPR-ed her in the ambulance.Jeanne was directly brought to the operation theatre and their hands loosened.Aaron felt at his wits end, crying so hard. He could not afford to lose Jeanne and the babies in this situation.Shortly after that, Andy arrived with Ma. Ma seemed so miserable as it could be clearly seen that she must have cried a lot.“How's Jeanne?” Asked Ma while sobbing hard.
“Would you look after her when I'm not around?” Asked Aaron humbly for the sake of Jeanne.“Of course I will, even though you did not ask for it,” replied Andy.Aaron then thanked Andy for his willingness and walked towards Jeanne.***It was their first day at the vineyard to shoot the promotional videos. Jeanne and her team, whilst the model's team and production team were so busy and always worked around the clock.Luckily, she had formed a professional team, be it from models or production. Everyone was so committed to their work.For the first day, they covered the vineyard warehouse. The models, especially Andy, were so meticulous and profession
Jeanne stayed quiet in the ward while eating the hospital meal.Aaron arrived at the doorstep but Jeanne seemed unbothered.“Can you eat that? I bought you some sushi rolls,” said Aaron cheerfully, trying to liven up the mood. He started plating the sushi rolls and put the soup bowl on the side.“Yes,” replied Jeanne short while continuing to eat. Actually, her mouth could not accept the food but she just went for it as she was too hungry.“Bluu, bluerkk!” Jeanne was caught, feeling like throwing out. Aaron quickly reached for the bin and let Jeanne throw it out in the bin.Jeanne wholeheartedly threw up to the last bit of the food. Then, Aaron passed the water and tissue for her to clean u
Few months passed and Jeanne successfully managed herself.Even though at first she struggled a little bit, somehow she managed it well. After a while, she somehow felt that she is better off without them.Andy and Aaron often saw her at work but they tried their best to not disturb Jeanne for the sake of her and the babies.Aaron once tried to clean the air, sending sushi rolls, lunch boxes and bouquets of roses, but Jeanne ignored it and lived life in her own way.***“That looks great,” said Jeanne. That day was the final fitting for the models and Andy was also there, but both of them kept it professional.The meeting of the final fitting went well and finally, it
