Derrick said smiling."Let's give ourselves some time. I know you said we are already a couple, but for me, this feels like we are now getting to know each other. In my heart, I want to be with you, but I will also need time to get to know you better," Lily requested.Derrick smiled and touched her cheeks affectionately"I am ready to wait for you.

It was a pregnancy test report for Lyla with details stated Lyla was six weeks pregnant. Lyla walked into the room while Derrick was still lost in his thoughts and snapped him out of his thoughts with a greeting.Derrick turned his gaze in the direction of Lyla. She was standing next to the sofa with her hand on her flat belly. She sat down on the sofa next to Mr Mingle. He shifted his gaze from Lyla back to his father."Dad, I swear I didn't touch her. It's not me. Believe me," Derrick said sounding very alarmed by the news.Lyla let out a cry like she had been wrong."Derrick, why are you denying it? Is it because you were drunk?

Lily Shawn Chapter 81: Acting differently
The fifteen-minute drive to his apartment felt like forever. Derrick's mind kept going over the conversation with his father and Lyla's pregnancy."How do I prove my innocence? I did not touch her," Derrick thought running his hand through his hair."How do I explain this to Lily? She will never believe me. How does this keep happening?" he thought"Six weeks pregnant. Did something happen between us?" he questioned himself. "No, I would have known. DNA is the solution. Yes DNA," he concluded.He drove into the compound of his apartment in fifteen minutes as he had promised Lily. The house was quiet, and all the lights were off except for the light in their bedroom. He knew Lily was awake. He took a deep breath and walked towards the bedroom. He climbed the staircase and just a couple of steps away from the bedroom he stopped. He stood there for a while and rather went into his study. He shut the door behind him and sat behind his desk. He sat there for a while not sure what to do. He

Convinced with his choice, Derrick left his apartment without informing Lily and he proceeded to Rosy's apartment. Same neighbourhood but a different street. Before knocking on Rosy's door, he tried to recall everything he could from the night meant for Lily.He woke up with just his trousers on, he did have love bites all over himself including places he never expected. Lyla had no clothes on. He was incredibly angry so he did not pay any attention to her skin. Now, he is unable to tell if she had a love bite made on her or not. He was now doubtful of himself. He can't remember anything, what if something did happen between them that night? These were the thoughts running through Derrick's mind.As early as 5 a.m., Derrick was already ou
Lily Shawn Chapter 83: Lyla gets Derrick's attention
Derrick had spent half of his day in Rosy's apartment talking about the situation he found himself in. Rosy advised him not to tell his woman. She further advises him to get close to Lyla and run a DNA when the pregnancy is more than three months old to confirm if he is the father. This suggestion sounded good to Derrick, so he felt calmer. He felt the burden on his shoulders lifted with the provided solution. All he needs now is time. He returned home to find Lily waiting for him in the living room."My love, where have you been?" Lily asked as soon as Derrick entered the house and came face-to-face with her in the living room."I am sorry, I went jogging and met a friend and we spoke for a while," Derrick explained, and Lily sighed."You could have called me. I was worried. I called Marcus; I called your dad..." Lily said and Derrick interrupted her."You call my father?" Derrick said almost raising her voice at her."Yes, I..." Lily replied taking a step back, seeing the anger on hi
Lily Shawn Chapter 84:Terms and Conditions
The apologetic surprise did not end with Derrick singing and giving her a bouquet of rose flowers, but he gave all the house servants the evening off and cooked dinner. He led Lily to the dining area. The set-up was simple yet amazing. The dining table was gone but in the centre of the room was a round table with just two chairs. The table was covered with a white cloth draping on the sides. In the centre was a small glass flower vase with white orchid flowers. A small cherry-scented candle was lit on the side. A bucket of ice with a wine bottle stuck in it, with two champagne glasses had their stand not far away from the round table. The dishes were arranged in a circle with the orchid and lit a scented candle in the middle. There was bruschetta for an appetizer and for the main course, sautéed chicken, and vegetables. A simple dinner. Two plates were placed in front of each chair. Lily was surprised and was smiling ear to ear. She took a step and realized the floor was covered with
