Got Pregnant for the Billionaire 79. Heart Flutters
Carl arrived just as he estimated. As he dialed Marie's number while approaching her location, she quickly got into the vehicle as soon as Carl pulled over by the side road."Hey!" Carl greeted Marie casually as soon as she got seated. He just glanced at her with a gentle smile then focused on the road driving."Hi!" Marie replied shortly. She was relieved to realize that the man was not making her feel uncomfortable in any way. It wasn't long ago when they've met and parted a bit awkwardly. But she felt like the man had forgotten about that incident, so she also had to let it slip. She just thought that maybe he was not having a good day then, unlike today. He was warmly smiling."I have heard from Mister Vero, your car broke down," Carl spoke with the same casual and gentle tone."Yeah, I haven't been able to bring my car to the shop for a while. I guess the engine got overheated as the engine oil wasn't changed in a while already," Marie answered casually. The two were conversing

"Does it mean I will have to say yes to a date with you for me to see Trisha?" Marie raised her eyebrows in disbelief.Carl nodded firmly. He was being straightforward with his deal and proposition. "And I am afraid you will have to decide now as it will tell me where to go from here," Carl pressed on the navigation system touch screen to punch in the address Marie would give for an answer.Marie did not think so hard, it was just a date, and honestly, it feels good that even at her age, someone was still formal enough to ask her out. She would get jokes around at work about wanting to date her, but none has come forward as to bluff her with a deal of wanting to take her out on a date. "Fine, date it is," Marie blurted. "But it's been a while. I am not really sure I still know anything about dating," she added with a sass. "You can't expect anything.""Fair enough. It only means we are on the same boat," Carl chuckled. "I don't know how to date a woman. You might have to tell me you

"Really?" Trisha looked out to check if the neighbor Marie saw was visible through the window, but she did not see anything. "Oh, I haven't seen anyone around other than us around here," Trisha chuckled. She sat back and handed Marie the glass of juice. "Here, have a drink first. I did not prepare coffee so you could get a rest before you go to work for today," Trisha's face showed an awkward smile."I told you not to worry about me, I am old. And to be honest, even if I sleep late every day, I can not stay long in bed in the daytime," Marie stated. "Maybe it's because I have been an early riser for more than three-thirds of my lifetime that I can no longer adjust to change how my body clock works. A cat nap would be enough for me to take before I start my night duty and that's it.""I might agree with you," Trisha nodded. "I have been in Sweet Haven for a few months, ever since my training days, but I still had not been able to stay long in bed after seven in the morning. If I do, I

Carl went back to where his boss was. He will have to wait until Mister Vero gets off work, send him home, and Carl can prepare for his date the next day. He needs a little grooming, after all. He planned the things he would do. He even made a memo list to make sure he didn't forget anything. He was so excited that he didn't notice the time. He had lunch on a bench as he enjoyed the calm noon wind under the shades of trees in the park beside the hospital. It was also an open area for patients and families to walk for exercise. He saw couples, young and old, sharing laughter, talking. Some were arguing in low voices. Some were just quiet but still harmonious. "I am going crazy," Carl chuckled, laughing at himself. "I seem to notice there are couples wherever I turn my eyes to."It made him think he should really have a partner of his own. He imagines himself being one among someone with joyous laughter. But as he turned to look at another side, he saw a couple with the man being taken

Trisha heard the sound of the car's engine arriving. She was already prepared to go to the supermarket as she could not find anything she could fix for dinner among Mister Vero's stocks of food in the pantry. She hurried to welcome the Master of the house. But she did not open the door. Instead, she waited on the farther side behind it, hiding. Denny was too excited to see his girl knowing she was waiting for him at home. It was a new feeling he was enjoying.He had never been too eager to get home before today. His house suddenly felt warm and homey, knowing Trisha was in there, doing whatever she was doing while waiting for him to come home from work. He called out as soon as he opened and got in the door. "Honey...!? I'm home..." Denny chuckled. He was also enjoying even the sound of his chosen endearment for them to call each other. It was intimate like they were playing a husband and wife role on a movie of their own. He walked straight from the door, thinking she might be in
Got Pregnant for the Billionaire 84. Not Enough
Denny came down wearing blue jeans and a white shirt with a lightweight puffer vest. He was looking even younger from his business looks yet equally dashing. The area they live in has four seasons, but as it's in the farther south region, it doesn't snow in the winter months. The lowest temperature would usually be within zero to negative five degrees. Today it was still five. Cold but lesser cold than in places with snow all around. The cold wind blew outdoors but with warm clothes, it would be manageable.For Denny, a sweatshirt, a pair of jeans pants, and a vest would be fine. Besides, they were going indoors—restaurant and supermarket, then back home. Trisha was wearing a hooded sweatshirt but with a fleece innerwear shirt and winter wear leggings. She could wear the hood if she felt cold and pull her sleeves to hide her hands like wearing gloves. "Who are you? Where is Mister Vero?" Trisha asked with astonishment. In her eyes, this man is a stranger, a handsome stranger. Had he
Got Pregnant for the Billionaire 85. Shopping
Denny drove to the biggest shopping mall in the downtown area. It had restaurants and many other shops in the whole establishment, including a supermarket. It even had other entertainment booths, as well as cinemas. Many people shop and spend time with their family indoors in the mall as the air conditioner would be adjusted according to the season and weather outside. If it's cold, the heater will be on, while coolers will be on when it's hot. "I haven't tried any of this, so you are not allowed to laugh at me," Denny warned Trisha. "Yes, honey," Trisha replied with a nod. The word "honey" became casual and fluent as if she was addressing Denny as her master. The respect it contained did not lessen by the sweet word; rather, it solidifies it. Charming and respectful in a way. They arrived at the place after about half an hour drive. The parking lot was within the building, so Denny drove his car to the closest empty spot, but as it was the weekend, they still had to reach the sev
Got Pregnant for the Billionaire 86. Silly Joke
"That would be perfect! Because I am the best tour guide you can find," Denny boasted with a wide grin.He was feeling his confidence hitting the roof. More than Medicine, more than business, above all knowledge stored in his brains, his hobby as a traveler is his claimed best skills and talent. "When my brother regains his health and takes his office again, I will book us a return ticket to the best place to visit in Japan for our overseas trip," Denny stated his thoughts. The food arrived. A pot of soup was placed on top of the induction burner in the center of the table. The waiter turned the fire on, and the soup started to boil softly. He began to explain what to do, but Denny smiled at the waiter gently."We'll take it from here," Denny stated kindly. "Thank you."The waiter smiled back. He was actually relieved he did not have to explain anything. It was a protocol for servers like them to introduce the menu and how to enjoy the food, but customers like Denny would decline if

“Honey…?” Denny called out carefully.Claudette was already about to enter the ward when she heard the man who introduced himself as Denny Vero called for Aleah so sweetly and concerned. She smiled. She just confirmed her thoughts that these two are romantically involved. She silently placed the food she bought and the change on a chair by the door before she lightly knocked and waved her hands to say she would be right back.Trisha bowed her head lower when she heard the knocking on the door. At the same time, Denny turned his head to look back and saw Mrs. Murphy pointing at the purchases she brought while she hurriedly exited the ward.Denny wasn’t able to say anything before the lady disappeared from his sight. He went to get the drinks and handed Trisha a cup of tea. There were two, so he supposed the other one was for him. He took a sip and just said anything. He urged Trisha to try hers, too.“Honey, the tea is good. You should have a sip while it’s still warm.”But Trisha place

Trisha turned her head away from Denny and faced her mom instead. Her tears started to cloud her eyes again. She bit her lips not to let her cries out of her mouth.She clearly understood what Denny had just said right now, but she could not respond right away. She was feeling torn between accepting or declining his offer of financial assistance. It wasn’t for herself alone. It was for her mom, most especially. He also mentioned being a philanthropist, which surely meant he was going to donate a considerable amount to get the procedure done with the best outcome. Yet, Trisha was still worried about what she might have to do to return such a huge favor from Denny Vero.When she was with Chloe earlier, and Denny was not by her side, Chloe spoke to Trisha with her honest and frank thoughts. Trisha realized that Denny did not know his parents already knew everything, the facts, not what they feared his sister, Denisse, might have told them. She was actually glad Denny accepted her suggesti
Got Pregnant for the Billionaire 215. The Philanthropist
“She is so kind,” Denny moved closer and whispered to Trisha. “I like her a lot!”Then Denny moved back to look at the girl on her face with a silly smile.“But don’t let her know about that, okay?” Denny murmured again. “She might like me back. I am afraid of that happening.”The two shared suppressed laughter with their hands in their mouths, covering, as they both looked back in the direction of the door. They seemed to have the same fear that the person they mentioned was already back and heard what Denny just said.“I like her, too,” Trisha shrugged her shoulders as she giggled after making sure Claudette wasn’t back just yet. She played along with Denny’s joke not to let the lady Murphy know they liked her so much.“Kidding aside, she is awesome,” Denny cleared his throat before he made known to Trisha his honest opinion about the lady taking care of the patient.He also heard from the doctor and nurses he was able to speak with that Claudette is doing her duties more than a mere

“Thank you so much, Mrs. Murphy!” Trisha’s voice was shaky as she looked up from the other side of the bed, embracing her mom cautiously.Trisha felt emotional. She was glad even to only hear that her mom would regain her consciousness. She’s been in the hospital bed for almost seven months now. She might have seen the person driving the car when she was hit, but as she was still in a coma, they could not ask her. Trisha and her brother Yohan are still hoping to find the justice they deserve. The police seemed to have no more lead to continue the investigation, and since the Silver siblings did not have anyone influential to ask for assistance, they would have to rely on whatever they heard from their mom’s recollections.It would be tough to hold on to such possibilities, but they believe their mom is fighting within her to survive her situation. And one victory may lead to another if she could point out who caused her so much pain and stole so much of her time to stay healthy and pro

Soon they arrived at the ward where the name Elaine Silver was written on the chart by the foot end of the patient’s bed. A woman was reading a book seated next to the patient. She was reading the book aloud like a mother reading a bedtime story to a kid. She was too focused on her book as she read with enthusiasm and emotion according to the content of the story that she did not notice the two, Trisha and Denny, walking next to the patient’s bed.Denny and Trisha looked at each other with amused smiles on their faces. Denny gave Trisha a sign not to make a sound using his finger placed above his mouth. Trisha nodded her head as she agreed not to make a sound. She was beyond glad and satisfied that the lady Murphy was indeed attending to her mom’s welfare with so much dedication and sincerity. She was also happy that the man beside her seemed to have the same thoughts about letting the lady reading a book continue until she realized their presence. And so she continued to read:“A fath

Trisha smiled happily. Denny saw her serene smile in his peripheral vision, and he felt good. His idea was turning out to be successful. That was what he was hoping for, to make his “honey” smile, not the polite one that her face had seemed to be painted with the whole day, but the pure natural smile she would usually wear on her face when she is genuinely happy.Soon they arrived at the hospital. Trisha was worried he would be late with his appointment.“Honey, I can walk my way into the hospital. You don’t have to send me in,” Trisha cautiously suggested. “You might be late.”Denny chuckled.“It’s okay. You wait for me by the entrance. I will be right back after I park the car.”Trisha had no choice but to do as he ordered. She consoled herself that he should know what he was doing. He wouldn’t insist if he did not have enough time, right?“Okay, I will stand by the entrance door. You can call me if there are any changes,” Trisha raised her purse with her phone and wallet inside it.

Denny paused for a while. He could not say it was personal, but it wasn’t business either. But he did not want to explain further, so he just made his answer short, although a bit ambiguous.“A little of both?” Denny chuckled, helping Trisha to stand from her seat beside him.Chloe was not convinced. Or maybe even if she was, the mother still wanted to spend a little more time with her dear son, so she expressed her disagreement.“I can only let you go early today if you promise to visit us next Sunday again,” she bargained.Denny’s eyes widened in disbelief.“Mom, I cannot promise you that, but I will try,” the son scratched his non-itchy backhead as he replied.“Then you will have to stay until dinner today. What do you say about that, Aleah?” Chloe turned to the girl beside Denny.“I… am…” the service girl stuttered. She did not know what to say, but knowing her answer was awaited, she had to say something. “I’m very sorry, Mrs. Vero, but I do not decide things with…” Trisha could n

“Do you mean to marry this girl?” Franco Vero asked. His tone was still calm, not making his honest reactions known to his dearest son.“As of the moment, and if that is all for me to decide, I might say yes,” Denny chuckled at his sudden realization.The father was baffled by the son’s answer.“What do you mean?”“I don’t think the feeling is mutual just yet,” Denny let his weary mind off him.He felt good that his kind dad asked. He had been holding these thoughts within him. He could not freely speak about it with Don Carlo and Angela as he did not want to worry them for Trisha. But with his dad, he felt the assurance that his old man would understand where he was coming from. Denny let his heartfelt emotions flow.“I can feel this girl is purely doing business with me, and she never flirts nor misleads me to think she fancies me like a woman fancies a man. She is obedient in everything I ask and tells her to do because she is too cautious about losing her job. She has these invisib

As Aleah requested and without fear for Denny to grant them, they got dressed up with the doting Denny assisting his heart's wife; since they weren't legally married yet, in every step of getting her nicely yet comfortably clothed. "We should shop for new sizes of your underwear, honey," Denny gently suggested. "I am worried you might feel discomfort with the ones you used to wear and in your closet right now," he explained eagerly. He knew that pregnant women could be very sensitive, so he tried his best to clear any misinterpretations of his words. Angela excitedly bought Aleah different designs of pregnant dresses and others obviously needed by an expecting woman, but as she had not had the experience to reach pregnancy into a stage where her belly would swell up, Angela did not realize to include underwear in her shopping list. I have been meaning to do so, but as I was not allowed to go out without company aside from the nurse, I was just waiting when we could visit the shoppi
