Doctor Step-Uncle, Be My Husband Chapter 78
Ethan’s PovCan't I stay here while you fall asleep in your bed?I wanted so badly to ask her that, but I was too scared to see that change on her face. I didn't want to see anything painful from her. It felt like I didn't have the strength to face her reluctance towards me."Are you sure you want me to come out? Don't want me to read you a bedtime story?" I was on the other side of the door and turned to look at her with my nosy face.She laughed. Yes, that's how I wanted her to respond. A severe response from her was too stressful for me and made me think about a lot of things in a short period. Laughing out loud like that, thinking I was joking, would be better for her and me at this time.Sarah's head shook lightly. That soft smile on her face seemed to fill my vision. I'm sure her face will be on my mind all night. "Fairy tales?" She chuckled again. "Better not, maybe next time." She came closer, pushing my shoulder out of the doorway of her room.Ah... I was a bit disappointed.

Sarah pov"Morning, miss?" The maid downstairs greeted me as soon as I appeared, coming downstairs."Morning, Roxy." I greeted her back and walked towards the dining table.I was a little more energised this morning, probably because I slept comfortably last night. You could say Ethan's chant was quite effective and made me fall asleep peacefully without any dreams, which kept my mind awake.There were many times I wished I hadn't dreamed when I fell asleep. I'm too tired from so many things that dreaming makes me feel like my sleep is exhausting because my brain is awake with things that make me guess whether I'm dreaming or not.Maybe Ethan's wine last night contributed to it, but maybe it was also his presence. He made me more relaxed before going to bed, which must have helped me feel comfortable.But where was he?I cast my gaze in another direction and searched for him in one corner of the place. I might have found her passing by or sitting somewhere.But no. He wasn't there. "R

Sarah’s POV"She really came to this place?" "Wow, that woman is really amazing. She's really shameless."I clasped Ethan's hand even tighter. I tried to hide my nervousness and threw a smile at Ethan, who turned to look at me"Shame?" the laughter on the other end scoffed. Shame is only for those who have pride. Isn't it obvious he doesn't have it? Can't you see it clearly?""You're right. That woman is a disgrace."Once down and on my feet, those judgmental voices continued to take their turn to mentally attack me. Those who knew nothing about my life commented on me as if what they were saying was the truth.What truth did they know when they only occasionally saw me show up at family parties that didn't even include me as part of the family. They didn't know that Diana included me in the party to embarrass me, while Alex never cared about me.Alex always left me and made me feel alone whenever I was at the party. The party was foreign to me, but he never asked me how I felt. I fe

Sarah's POV"That was really mean of you to say, Sarah!" Emily looked at me like I was a lowly woman who couldn't keep my mouth shut while she was the one who started this situation in the first place.The woman who always hid her sly smile and geeky gaze in front of Alex was always trying to turn things around with her attitude and the language she made up. I don't know if Alex realized the woman's attitude or not. But the two of them did look good together and were very compatible. I should have realized that a long time ago."You're too much Sarah, you still haven't changed. Your attitude is still the same, annoying and embarrassing." Alex pulled Emily closer to him and calmed her down as I saw his hand rubbing Emily's shoulder.I smiled at his insults, which he still said to me. All these years, it was me who was stupid, me who liked him too much, me who was blinded by my love until I couldn't judge his bad attitude.My relationship with him had ended, albeit in a bad way, but he

Sarah's POV"They're really annoying," Ethan said beside me, his complaint sounding more like he sympathised with them and tried to cheer me up by cursing them.I nodded my head in agreement at his words, which did speak the truth. "They don't seem to have anything else to do but annoy."Ethan led me over. He separated himself from the crowd that had led him to scatter away from me. He handed me a drink that he had gotten from the waiter, who was offering a wide variety of cocktails there. Then, I heard someone speaking on loudspeaker at the podium in the centre of the party.All eyes turned to the man speaking. He first opened with a greeting and all manner of pleasantries until he got to the reason why the party was being held. "This party is being held by the Murrey family for a purpose. They want us to witness and celebrate the election of the heir to the Murrey family."The hall began to sound noisy with whispers from the guests who were talking incoherently, but I could feel gl

Alex's pov"Ah, shit! How did this all happen?" I pushed the door of the house with full force before entering and forcing it open. Behind me I knew my mom was following but I didn't care, I was no longer going to try to hold myself back from controlling my emotions just to be careful because my mom was there. I don't care if she calls me ignorant or whatever. I no longer care.I turned around and looked at her with annoyance, this decision had been authorized by grandpa and of course mom would know. "Suddenly Ethan?" I said the name in front of him with the worst expression I could show him, my chest was still heaving furiously. "Ethan's in charge."My head was like being hit right now with something that was very difficult for me to accept. That jerk was the leader while I had no clear status. "How can he?!" I rebelled in front of the woman whose face was also messed up and looked gloomy. "Mom told me that he would never be a part of the Murray family and that I had nothing to worr

Alex’s POV"You'll be in trouble soon, Ethan." I smiled proudly at myself in the mirror.Today, I contacted most of the company's shareholders and directors, talking them into siding with me and my mom to have the election of the new president re-run. I can't let Ethan take over the situation. He has no right to my seat.I had dreamed of it for a long time, believing that I would become the absolute decision-maker of the company, replacing my grandfather. Ethan didn't deserve it. He wasn't part of the full Murrey family, and his blood wasn't as pure as mine. He was an unwanted child, a child from an unworthy relationship.While my mother is the child of a legitimate wife, my grandmother clearly influenced the growth of the group built by the Murray family, so clearly, my mother has more rights. My mother was more deserving of claiming everything the Murray family had and deserved to inherit.I turned away from the glass in front of me, picked up my tie, and started putting it on. I lo

Alex POVIt's a good thing these people will side with me soon. They'll know that I'm more fit to lead than Ethan, who certainly doesn't know anything about business. Uncle Dave needs to corner him even more. I'm really looking forward to being the elder in the company and having that kind of influence to pressure Ethan and make Ethan falter."So indirectly, you want to call me incompetent?" Ethan responded, his eyes looking flat. All I could see was that he was trying to dominate with his attitude, trying to get them to bend the knee to his will.It was annoying. Who did he think he was? Why would someone like him be that arrogant? What was he trying to brag about?He looked straight at Uncle Dave, who was trying not to be affected by her aura. "You're talking as if I don't know anything about business."I can't let Uncle Dave's attack go to waste and make him feel like he's fighting alone there. The truth was that many disagreed with his leadership, and Ethan needed to know about th

Sarah's POV“What do you think of the dress?” I twirled before Lira, who sat casually in her chair, nibbling on something.Lira’s eyes carefully assessed me from head to toe with a serious expression. Then, she motioned with her hand for me to turn around and show the other side. Only after doing so she nodded approvingly. “You look perfect,” she praised me with a satisfied smile.She got up from her seat and walked over to me, her hands gently adjusting a few strands of my hair that were out of place, making me look slightly untidy.“There’s no one more beautiful than you,” she effortlessly complimented me again.I chuckled softly at her words. Then, I turned to face the mirror, seeing myself wrapped in a white mermaid-style satin gown that beautifully accentuated my figure.The dress looked stunning with a long skirt and an elegantly open top. I truly loved it, but I couldn’t help feeling a little self-conscious. “But don’t you think it’s a bit too much?” I asked.From behind me, Ly

Ethan's POV After finishing our meal together, Sarah once again disappeared from sight. I’m sure she’s busy with Edmund now. That little boy has stolen his mother from me. No matter what or where Edmund is her priority, I feel my position has been shifted."Sir, would you like me to prepare some tea?" Emy asked me.I shook my head, intending to return to work for a while, but I changed my mind this time. "No need. Have you seen where Sarah is?""Miss Sarah is in Master Edmund's room, sir. She's putting him to sleep," Emy replied promptly.I figured she'd be there. I remember telling her that Edmund should get used to sleeping in his room. After all, he's old enough. But Sarah said she couldn't bear it and would stay with him until he fell asleep.I then moved toward Edmund's room, right next to mine. "Is he asleep?" I asked Sarah as soon as I entered.I hugged her tightly from behind while gazing at our sleeping son. I rested my chin between Sarah’s shoulder and neck and kissed her s

Ethan povAs soon as they finished eating together, Sarah did not show herself again, to the point that I am sure she must also be busy with Edmund this time. The little boy stole his mother from me, so now, whatever it is and wherever it is, Edmund is her priority, and my position has shifted."Master want me to prepare tea?" Emy asked me.I shook my head. I had originally planned to go back to work for a while, but this time, I canceled my intention. "No need. Where did you see Sarah?""Miss Sarah is in Mr. Edmund's room, sir. she was putting him to sleep." Emy replied immediately.I thought she must be there. I remember telling her to get used to Edmund going to his own bedroom; after all, Edmund was old enough, but Sarah said she couldn't bear it and would stay with him until Edmund fell asleep.I then moved there, walking to the room next to mine. "Is he asleep?" I asked Sarah just as I entered Edmund's room.I walked up to her even though I hugged him from behind. Looking at our

Ethan povAfter Sarah went downstairs to the inn, she needed to stay until her condition completely recovered after giving birth. I was in the room with her still holding her hand and stroking her gently."Do I look ugly?" she suddenly asked about it.I moved my eyebrows up silently, smiling, and shook my head slowly, denying her words. "It's not at all that you always look beautiful in my eyes, yesterday, today, and whenever; it doesn't matter what happens."My eyes looked at her with a gentle glint, and then my hand moved slowly, caressing her hair. Sarah, who just a few hours ago faced the Biggest Thing in her life, looks very beautiful in my eyes right now. You could say she was the most beautiful woman I had ever met. No woman could match her beauty; she was perfect for me."Does it feel so painful?" I looked at her with a fixed gaze and rubbed her cheeks slowly.The woman lying weakly on the bed shook her head slightly. She still looked helpless. "I'm not sure what it would be l

Ethan's POV"Sarah, what's going on? What happened?" I panicked and rushed into the bathroom after hearing her cry. I found Sarah bracing herself against the wall, visibly in pain, stretching her arms.I quickly turned off the faucet, grabbed a towel, and wrapped it around her. She clung to me, wrapping her arms around my shoulders. "I think I'm having contractions... I think it's time.""Time to give birth?" I looked at her, shocked.Even though we had prepared everything and eagerly anticipated this day, I still felt nervous when it finally arrived. I had researched what to do when Sarah went into labor, preparing myself as best as possible.But what you think and face are two very different things. My mind went utterly blank, overwhelmed with panic and fear. I repeatedly took deep breaths to calm myself as I helped Sarah get dressed."Okay, we’re heading to the hospital now. I’m taking you there." Once she was dressed, I lifted her and carried her downstairs, gently placing her in

Sarah's POVEthan immediately adjusted everything accordingly when I heard that we were having a boy. He called the decorators to prepare the room with a baby boy theme.Blue, white, and yellow dominated his chosen colors for the room's design. "Do you like it?" he glanced at me as I stood at the doorway.Meanwhile, Ethan was inside, moving around to arrange everything. He forbade me from entering, saying the smell of the paint was still too strong and could bother my senses. He was right. Even from a distance, I could still see the pungent paint fumes.I smiled and nodded. "Yes, I love it. I'm sure our little one will love it too. If he knew his dad prepared all of this for him, he’d be so happy."During my pregnancy, Ethan seemed happy, but his emotions during the first and second trimesters were quite complex. He was joyful, yet at the same time, he looked anxious, worried, and full of confusion. He expressed his concerns by forbidding me from doing many things and becoming overly

Sarah POV “Good morning, Miss Sarah. How are you today?” The doctor who regularly manages my pregnancy greeted me with her usual friendly demeanor.I smiled in response. “I’m good, Doctor,” I replied, pulling a chair across from her.The doctor began by reviewing my previous pregnancy reports. “Any complaints recently, Miss? How’s your pregnancy going?” she asked, briefly meeting my gaze before returning to the documents.Lately, there haven't been as many issues as the first and second trimesters. Both those stages were incredibly challenging. In the first trimester, I lost a lot of weight, which caused Ethan to panic.During the second trimester, though the severe nausea had subsided, my body still took a long time to adjust.But now, I could smile and answer, “No complaints, Doctor. Everything’s been fine with the pregnancy lately, though it’s getting a bit hard to move around.”The doctor smiled again. “That’s because the baby is growing healthily, and the weight has increased.”

Sarah POV "It seems we have to head back now," the devil beside me whispered softly, kissing my forehead after he finished his phone call. He had just received another call from Luke. I overheard a bit of it, and it sounded li ke something urgent at the office required Evan's presence. From what I know, they're signing a new project, and it might be the one that needs Ethan's direct attention. Well, to be fair, he's been on vacation for quite a while now. He took time off earlier to care for me after that incident with Diana's appearance. Before that, he also took an extended vacation when we went to an island, thinking I'd get bored staying home. Ethan's been spoiling me in many ways, but it's time for him to return to work. I gently stroked his face. "Yes, besides, we've been on vacation long enough. Have you contacted Elda to tell her not to follow us?" I suddenly remembered our personal chef, Elda, whose cooking made this trip even more delightful. She was never disappointed;

Sarah POV -“Do you not have a good relationship with James?” I turned to him as he opened the door for me.He glanced at me briefly. “Why do you ask?” He guided me inside carefully, still faithfully holding my hand and supporting my body.I shook my head lightly. “It’s nothing, I’m just curious. You two don’t seem to communicate well. Every time you start talking, it sounds like you're trying to punch and counter each other, then move on to the next attack.”I heard him chuckle softly. “Does it really sound like that?”I nodded. “Yes, it sounds like that and it looks like that. But strangely, your conversations go smoothly. You ask, and he answers, explains, and gives information. I thought he was really neglecting Grace.”I sighed, thinking it would have been the worst if that were true. But thankfully, it wasn’t, even though I had already misunderstood James. I thought he wasn’t a good father, but I didn’t know what he’d been through, what he’d done to raise his daughter alone and
