Jewel was in a panic after seeing Larry at the party. Her legs wobbled and her voice got stuck in her throat. She's speechless.
She was glad and assured when Simon holds her waist tightly and gently caressed her hands for support.
On her behalf Simon keeps the conversation going.
The entire time, Larry was insulting her and Simon spoke up for her. He sounds like a man who’s so in love and ready to accept his woman's past.
Seeing Jewel in the arms of another man made him lose control. The fang of jealousy and his emotions gets the best of him. He uttered hurtful and insulting words to the woman he love. Words that should have never been said. He glared at the arms that supported his woman since the start of their encounter.He watched carefully as Simon thoughtfully caressed Jewel's hands for assurance. His eyes were like shooting flames when his sight followed them until they reach the resting lounge.His reasons returned after mingling with other guests. Larry wanted to talk to Jewel again. This time he needs to stay calm and collected.
"Sir?” Nathan cleared his throat. Since he became Larry's assistant and secretary this is the first time his boss was out of focus."Excuse me, Sir." He knocked on the door again to get Larry's attention."Sorry to disturb you, Sir.""What is it?" Larry asked still looking outside the window.
Jewel was very happy with her dad's company. This passed few days they stroll a lot. They visit parks and malls. Although she enjoyed their time together it’s also nerve wracking in 2 days it will be her due date. She needs to act normal but very careful. If his dad was not here they could just tell everyone that an accident happens like she slips in the bathroom that resulted to premature birth. However; the situation has change. Her dad is with them so once she started labor she needs to think of an act that will be convincing enough to make it look like a premature birth. She hates deceiving her father but there is no other way."Dad, I'll go down to the grocery store. We ran out of milk and some spices."
It’s been a week since her dad arrived. It’s a little worrying since there's only two days left before her due date. She keeps getting scared. What if her dad notices their lies? Simon assured her that everything’s going to be alright. She already inculcate in her mind that when her labor pains start "the slip accident should happen in her room" so that she could ask her dad's help and bring her to the prenatal clinic they have chosen. Simon already paid a big amount on this lies so she better keep it together. She hates deceiving their love ones but what can they do now? They both need this.
It's been around forty minutes since Jewel entered the operating room, the achy feeling is overwhelming. She can't help cursing Larry inside her head. She's thankful at least Simon was there. "Take a deep breath... Just a bit more." The doctor has been encouraging her through the entire process. She look at Simon next to her and holding her hands. He's sweating and also breathes in and out as if his the one giving birth. Though in pain she burst out laughing at the same time she heard a baby cried.
He can't believe it, he was not aware that Simon and Jewel will be staying in West Country for good. He thought he got everything under control; he spent a lot of money just to rent the apartment next to their unit. This is the failure of his second plan to be near his beloved. This is all because of Jewel if she's not around. Simon will stay in Australia for a long time until he inherits the rights to manage the family business.  
It has been a month since Jewel return to West Country. She mostly stayed at Hall's Mansion. She personally looks after her son. She was pampered by the household. Mrs. Hall requested that the baby sleep in their room once or twice which she gladly obliged. The first few days in the mansion, guilt was eating her away especially when she watch the people around her give so much love and affection towards her baby. Simon keep's reminding her that it's okay, she was doing him a favor and in the first place it's his own doing. He was the one who announced it without informing her. In the end she learned to accept the fact and the situation. She promised that she will return their graciousness a thousand fold.
"You have more money than I am. It’s unfair to you coz I can get more money from you than you are to me." Jewel called her dad to invite him for dinner in Hall's Mansion. They have to talk about the wedding details. She was still anxious about the future but everyone was expecting a wedding sooner or later. She reaches the point of no return unless Simon says that he no longer wants to marry her.
