“Anyway, how did you guys arrange everything?” Ethan was curious. The three of them were like water and gasoline. He didn’t even know how they all ended up ganging against Vivian without getting on each other’s neck.“We had agreed on a code. We knew that Vivian was stubborn and could catch us unaware. So, the code word was to be included in any sentence whether it made sense or not. When Damian said the magic word, I knew that I had to do something quick or your cover will be exposed.”“ Sorry we forgot to tell you. The code word is busted “Damian said.“So, if any one of us calls you and says the word, then know that things are not good “Devin added as he looked at the soundly sleeping Vivian wondering if she could hear what they were discussing about. It didn’t matter though. They can always come up with another idea.“I like this team work. When did the three of you become friends?” Ethan was curious again.“We are not friends. I can never be friends with these crazy bitches “Pet
“Nonsense, she is no longer in the picture. I am sorry for refusing our engagement from the very beginning but now I have decided that it is you that I want to spend the rest of my life with. I have forgotten about Susan. Just go back home and relax. Your man is doing okay and he is not seeing any one. “Ethan said with a fake smile plastered all over his face.At the back of his mind, he was so impatient. He just didn’t know what to do to get her to go but he must put Susan first. He didn’t want her life or Happy’s life to be in danger because of his stupidity.“Alright, darling. I am so sorry for disturbing you. I will go home now. Will you hug me?” Somehow, Vivian seemed clingy today. It meant that his plan was working. He must not mess up this time round.“Off course …” he said and hugged her hurriedly. He didn’t want her body to linger on him more than it was necessary.Vivian in turn ruffled his head and muttered “I love you. I will go home now.”All this time, the three men were
It wasn’t worth it to overthink things. With time everything will become known to her. No one has ever hidden a secret forever.So even if it had to do with Vivian, she will know it soon. At that thought, she smiled and Ethan sighed with a relief.” Don’t worry yourself too much. I was only joking. I just missed you when you were away. Not even the damn Elly could compensate for you absence. “Ethan felt that his fool mood has suddenly improved. Only Susan could lighten the worst day of his life with her sweet words. He needed to hear how much she needed him in her life.“Is that so? Then I won’t go to work when they call me for emergency. I will tell them to go to hell. How does that sound?” he asked coquettishly while grinning.That smile always brought her to her knees and she felt her body becoming warm but she got to be real here.“And what will our baby eat If the both of the parents are not working?” she asked and then saw his face turn in to something that she didn’t under
They hugged each other for a while before Susan pulled back and said that she needed to clean the baby. It was already past the time that was recommended. Babies should be fed frequently.The man wiped her lips and then ordered” Okay…...go ahead and take care of the baby. I will wait for you “Ethan said as he laid his head back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.By the time Susan reached the bedroom, Happy was already awake. Even though he was still young, she could see the happiness in his eyes when he looked at her. She just loved being around him whether he was sleeping or awake.She quickly lifted him up from the bed and kissed his cheeks so many times. She even lost the count. If it were up to her wish, she would keep doing it each and every second to let Happy know that she held him dear to her heart and that she will give her life for his sake.After Susan finished bathing the baby, she fed him his bottle. He looked peaceful and contented as she rocked him in her arms po
“Ethan …” She called with a sleepy voice.Ethan stood up and pulled her in to his arms. He was sorry that he was going to leave again but this was something that he couldn’t avoid. His baby was being brought in to this world and he must do everything to make sure that he or she was okay.“What is wrong? You are holding me so tight, love” she asked with concern.Ethan loosened his grip on her and led her to the couch. They sat down and then Susan glanced at him with questions in her eyes. Whatever that he wanted to tell her, she knew that it wasn’t going to be good.But she was always ready for times like this. It was already enough trouble for making him leave his life behind to be confined with him in that tiny house.“Honey, I have to leave but just for a short period, okay.” He said and then hesitated before kissing her cheeks.“You know how much kids are very important to me and I hope that you are going to understand that I am not trying to choose sides here. Vivian is giving bir
A few minutes after the doctor left, Ethan appeared. Peter gave him the update on Vivian’s condition and to his surprise he was just calm which was so unlike him.Without waiting to be asked, he took the consent paper and signed his name on it.Peter asked “Are you alright?”“What is wrong? Do you like seeing me causing trouble everywhere. If it were in the past, that doctor and his family would have been a history by now.” Ethan hesitated and then continued “But I am a dad now and I am going to become one for the second time. I want to be a better man by practicing good manners.” Ethan replied lazily.In the course of his work, Peter always comes across different versions of Ethan. He was speechless this time round.The man sat down on the couch and kept himself busy by looking at the videos and photos that he had taken with Happy and Susan. They kept his mind from getting worked up. Finally, after a few hours of waiting, the doctor came back with the good news.“Congratulations, M
A soon as Vivian realized that Ethan had left, she picked up her phone and called her mother. She was so anxious as she talked over the phone.“Mum, I don’t want to see her. Please come and take her away “She shouted hysterically.Ariel was just lazing around. she hadn’t seen or heard from Vivian for the last one week and she was beginning to wonder what she was up to. So, when she saw her phone call, her mood lightened but then she felt unsettled after hearing her words.“What do you mean, darling? who are you talking about? ““Mum, the baby is a girl. How is she going to be of use to us? I didn’t even want to get pregnant. Let alone deal with all the useless cravings. As if this isn’t enough, they also cut my belly and I will now have scars. I won’t be able to put on my biking again.”Vivian, calm down honey. it doesn’t matter which gender she is. Ethan will always love her and also remember what I told you before. I don’t want the same mistakes that I committed to repeat itself in
So, they bid their goodbyes and left a jiffy.Meanwhile, Vivian wondered why Ethan hadn’t returned. It was already getting late and she kind of hoped that he will come and spend the night with her.She called him but he didn’t pick up his phone. So, she pouted her mouth sadly and tried to sleep. He has been a way for so long and when she needed him the most, he still didn’t pick up the damn phone.She sent him a message as a desperate attempt to make him rush over ” I need you “Ethan looked at his phone with impatience and replied” I am busy now. Be good and go to sleep. I will come and check on you when I have time “Just like before his tone was cold.Even after giving him a child, he still didn’t care about her. Perhaps, it was because the baby was just a girl. Vivian thought with hate in her heart. Ethan was deeply buried in to his work that he didn’t want to talk to Vivian. He knew that he had promised to go back but he didn’t feel like having to deal with Vivian’s craziness
