Pregnant for A Stranger Part 38
Hayle felt her bed shifting slowly, which mildly disturbed her. She thought she would feel the warmth behind her again. She had been waiting for Jaxter all day, but as she closed her eyes, he still hadn't shown up.This time, Hayle felt the movement in front of her while she lay on her side with her hands tucked under her cheek. Slowly, she opened her eyes, making sure it wasn't someone else beside her now."Uh?" Hayle murmured, staring at the man now beside her. Indeed, it was Jaxter. He lay on his back next to her. Hayle glanced at the clock hanging on the wall within her view. It was early morning, though still too early.Upon hearing Hayle finally wake up because of him, Jaxter glanced at her from the corner of his eye. He observed the sleepy face of the woman who looked so vulnerable."You just got back?" Hayle asked sleepily. It was still too early to get up; yesterday, she had struggled to fall asleep. Perhaps it was because she had been waiting for him. Besides, one characteris

Hayle emerged from her room after waking up quite late. She glanced around and noticed the figure of a man sleeping on the sofa. Furrowing her brow, she wondered why Jaxter was asleep on the sofa.Initially, Hayle wanted to make breakfast because she had woken up hungry. However, she remembered that there was no food in her apartment at all. So, she quickly cleaned herself up and planned to go out to buy some groceries."Where are you going?" Jaxter asked suddenly, startling Hayle who had just put on her sweater before leaving her apartment."Stop scaring me, Jax. I'm just going out to shop. I'm not a prisoner anymore, right?" Hayle looked at the man, who despite just waking up, had a perfectly composed face."Just tell Roberto to do it," Jaxter rubbed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger, trying to gather himself after a brief sleep which seemed to leave him feeling worse."No, I want to get out of here. Don't stop me because I need some fresh air

Jaxter remained silent. Once again, he felt it would be wrong to debate health issues with this woman. So, it was better to stay quiet. Seeing him no longer comment made Hayle smile satisfactorily; at least she felt she had won this debate."What vegetables do you like, then?" Hayle asked again. She didn't want to appear selfish by only buying vegetables she liked."None. I like meat," Jaxter replied curtly."You still have to eat vegetables. Do you like carrots?" asked Hayle, offering fresh carrots in front of her; at least they were the most basic vegetables.Jaxter shook his head slightly, his face showing little interest. He wasn't interested in eating vegetables today."Hayle!!" a friendly voice suddenly sounded, greeting Hayle as she continued to search for other vegetables. Of course, this made both Hayle and Jaxter immediately look towards the source of the voice."Oh! Auntie! How have you been?" Hayle asked, recognizing the rather plump woman who promptly kissed Hayle on both

"But Jax," Hayle still felt it was impossible for them to marry tomorrow. She was sure Roberto was also baffled by this man's request. So, Hayle felt she needed to make him see reason."Do you want to marry me?" Jaxter suddenly asked, staring at Hayle very seriously. Naturally, it silenced Hayle again."Huh?""Or do you still love that man?" Jaxter's words made Hayle's mouth feel sour, uncomfortable once more."I don't love that man anymore," Hayle asserted, sure that she had no more hope with Lucas after learning everything he had done just to part ways with her. There would be no feelings left. "But that doesn't mean we can just get married out of the blue tomorrow. Although maybe I am starting to feel comfortable with you too." Hayle said it starting with a tone that was still normal but slowly weakened towards the end. She had to admit, this man's presence meant a lot to her especially now. But again! That doesn't mean they should just get married tomorrow."So when do you want to

Hayle fell silent as she gazed at her reflection in a large mirror adorned with gold engravings. She examined her figure in an elegant wedding gown, the creation of a renowned designer known to everyone. She was very cautious in wearing it, despite it now being hers, feeling reluctant that she would only wear this dress once for this occasion, although many thought the gown would be memorable."You look stunning in it, Miss. Mr. Jaxter's choice was indeed perfect," remarked a woman hired by Roberto to assist Hayle with all the wedding preparations."It's not just the dress that suits you, Miss Hayle is also very beautiful," added another woman who had done her makeup, approaching Hayle, who smiled upon hearing that.Truth be told, what had happened yesterday was unclear to Hayle. Even now, it felt like a dream. The man had compelled her to marry him without any room for negotiation. Her mind was in such disarray that she couldn't think about this wedding at all. Jaxter had taken her t

"Sir, everything is ready." Roberto, who had briefly left the party venue, returned and immediately conveyed something seemingly known only to Jaxter.Jaxter nodded quietly and promptly picked up his drink, downing it almost to the last drop. He then lightly wiped his lips, causing Hayle and Jacob, seated together at their luxurious wedding lunch, to furrow their brows slightly. Hayle wondered what else this man had prepared."Ready to leave?" Jaxter asked, looking at Hayle, who had been focusing on her newly official husband."Huh? Are we leaving? Not staying here anymore?" Hayle asked, slightly surprised. Was it time to return to Jaxter's house in the middle of that pine forest again? Hayle still wanted to enjoy the atmosphere of the garden on the hotel's 10th floor, admiring the beautiful view of their private wedding decoration. It was her first time in this garden, and it would be a shame to leave after just a few minutes."No," Jaxter replied firmly. "Can't wait a bit longer. Ma

"Is this yours?" Hayle asked, struggling to conceal her awe as she glanced at a sleek jet, proudly stationed at the private airport that she now realized belonged to Jaxter.Hayle took a deep breath. At this moment, it dawned on her that it wasn't Jaxter who needed to make an effort to know her, but rather she who needed to exert herself to understand who this man truly was. Hayle knew Jaxter was a wealthy and successful entrepreneur, but she never imagined he was this affluent, owning even his own airport.Jaxter simply nodded before extending his hand for Hayle to reach. He guided her towards his aircraft. Two flight attendants, a pilot, and a co-pilot stood waiting, greeting them before they boarded. Hayle nodded with her friendly smile as the four acknowledged her. However, Jaxter remained his usual self—stoic and distant. He only seemed concerned with how Hayle ascended the small staircase to enter the plane."Wow," Hayle murmured softly, restraining herself from being too amazed

"Put this on." Jaxter dressed his petite, questioning yet resigned wife in a thick jacket, a knitted cap, and earmuffs. The extraordinary 10-hour journey they undertook was truly remarkable. Even now, Hayle didn't know where they were going. Jaxter kept their destination tightly under wraps."Are we going to a cold region?" asked Hayle, who appeared sleepy again. Her biological clock followed her original American time zone, now midnight, but due to a significant time zone difference, it was unexpectedly bright here. Clearly, there was snow all around them, so why did Hayle need to ask?Jaxter nodded, ensuring Hayle was ready for the temperature difference outside. When the airplane door opened, Jaxter and Hayle immediately disembarked and headed straight to the waiting car that would take them directly to their accommodation.Upon disembarking earlier, Hayle hadn't had a chance to enjoy the surroundings. But now, inside the car, she finally saw the beauty around her—the expanse of a s

"How was it?" asked Hayle approaching her husband. Seeing Jacob only gave her a faint smile. Of course it made Hayle very curious. How did the man meet his wife.Actually Hayle really wanted to witness it. But, she had her own business to take care of Zave's lecture that she had promised a few weeks ago. Therefore, she could not cancel this."They just talked for a while." Jaxter answered his wife's curiosity."And then? What did they talk about? Did they talk about bringing Rui?" Hayle with a very curious face.There was actually one thing that made Hayle a little worried about all this. They were going to take Rui and keep the two of them apart. Because after all Hayle -she knew this was very selfish- had taken care of and loved Rui with all her heart."I don't know what they're talking about. I wasn't inside with them.""Ha?" Hayle wrinkled her forehead with an incredulous face. "Why aren't you even with them. I want to know what they're talking about." Hayle was really upset why e

"You put her in the Isolation room?" Jacob asked with a deep frown on his face."It's better to keep her from escaping. There are many things that will happen if she gets out of here. I don't think I need to explain, do I?" Jaxter seemed to just stare straight at the hallway that would lead them to a room that was quite secluded there.Jacob played with his lips. He slowly walked, fortunately Jaxter was understanding enough to match his pace."Thank you for hosting her here." Jacob lifted the corner of his lips before glancing at the man whose facial water had not even changed. "I know that you intentionally put her here for her own good too. You must know that her enemies are everywhere. Even my family is after her.""I just wanted to fulfill my wife's wish. To live in peace." Jaxter didn't seem to care what Jacob said. They stood in front of the steel door that was tightly closed."You can imprison him anywhere. Maybe underground, in a secluded place. You could have even just elimin

"Rui a lot of things happened before you were born. Both your adoptive family and your biological family. We may not be able to be like most parents. Our previous lives will leave you dumbfounded. But, you don't have to think about what happened before you were born. I just want to say, whatever ever happened to me, I will do it again as long as I can get a daughter like you." Jacob held the princess's hand very tightly. Staring at her hazel nets that looked so beautiful and drowning."I knew you would ask about what happened to your real mother." Jacob pursed his lips. He took a deep breath and grabbed something from the nightstand drawer beside his bed. That made him frown. "This is a picture of your mother. I don't want you to not know her."Jacob handed over the cell phone he took earlier. He asked Roberto to find any photos of Ice that might still exist. And, luckily, there was one of her when she was still undercover in Laurence's group.Rui took the cell phone in her father's ha

"Eh? You." Rui was startled when she came out of her father's hospital room and saw the figure of a man who seemed to be walking towards her place."Yes. I heard your father was taken to the hospital, is he okay?" asked Arzhiel who immediately came to this hospital when he heard the news."Yes. But he's fine, he just woke up." Rui smiled faintly at this man who could make her heart feel uneasy."So, why aren't you inside?" Arzhiel wrinkled his forehead. "Do you want to do something?""No, I didn't. Mrs. Hayle and Clay's father wanted me to go out for a moment. They want to talk to Jacob's father. So I'll just go out." Rui said it in a slightly mischievous tone. I don't know, it's hard to act casual in front of people we like."Oh, I see, so I can't go in there yet either." Arzhiel looked at the door of the room. "I saw this little cafe near the hospital garden. It's not far, want to wait there instead?"Rui hearing that was a little startled and raising her eyebrows, she nodded slowly

"Rui ...." Hayle stared at her daughter to which Rui immediately responded."Yes? Mom?" Rui showed a subtle streak on her face, following the question that fell from her lips."I know that Rui probably has many things to ask. But, is it okay if you, Mom, and Jacob's father talk first?" Hayle gently tried to give understanding to her daughter. She knew that it was not difficult to usually talk to this sweet girl.Rui pursed her lips and nodded for a moment. Although there were indeed a lot of questions in her head but Rui couldn't force herself to stay there. One of her principles said that it was better not to know what she shouldn't know. Or maybe not yet.Jacob smiled proudly at how the princess behaved. Although he was reluctant to release the delicate grip of his daughter. But it was something they had to do. The three of them stared at Rui's departure who soon disappeared behind the door of the infirmary."I'm glad you guys took care of her to become such a great girl. I don't th

The door slowly opened. Making all the hearts of the people outside the door beat faster.When Jacob saw the figure of a woman sitting at the end of a fairly narrow room, on an old-looking bed. Curled up as if frightened with her hair loose over her face.Jacob frowned, not really having any expectations about how the woman who was predicted to be his wife was doing."Ice." Hayle walked into the room. Leaving the two men who seemed to be still observing the situation inside Ice's hospital room.As usual, Hayle sat at the end of the bed closest to her. Always trying to communicate well with the woman who never even looked at her."I'm here again, but this time I'm not alone with my husband. Would you like to see who came with us?" Hayle said it as gently as possible. It was always like that if she was dealing with this woman because according to Hayle, that was how to treat someone like this Ice.But, even though Hayle had seduced the woman. Of course Ice didn't seem to understand what

"Good morning!" the cheerful, friendly voice filled the room where Hayle was on duty, if not the kitchen.The woman raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly. "Good afternoon, Jac.""Yes! Yes! No need to emphasize it. But it's early in Alaska. I guess it is." Jacob rubbed his face. He still looked sleepy."The time difference between here and there is only an hour Jac, so I guess it's already daytime in Alaska." Hayle shook her head. Even at this age, she still couldn't let go of her innocence."Yeah. Every now and then make me happy Hayle by just following what I say." Jacob made a little annoyed face at being corrected by this woman."Eat your breakfast, or actually brunch. After that take your medicine. You have to take it, right?" Hayle said. Yesterday she saw him taking his medicine after their warm dinner."Not really. It's just for pain relief. Yesterday's flight made my leg ache, so I took it. It's quiet, even though four bullets have gone through my body. I'm overall very healt

"Why did you say something like that earlier Jax?" asked Hayle who glanced at her husband as she rubbed lotion all over her body after she finished putting on her clothes after cleaning herself."About what?" Jaxter took off the shirt he was wearing one by one. After his wife it was time for him to take a shower."About Ice."Jaxter did not answer immediately. Tickling the curiosity and attention of Hayle who immediately tried to see what happened to her man's face."Do you still suspect that Ice might betray us again?" Hayle asked."There's no harm in being on guard. We already have the life we dreamed of all this time, I won't let a single person ruin it." Jaxter glanced at his wife with a rather sharp gaze. Making Hayle unable to say anything. In a life like the one they lived. Tranquility was a high price they had to pay with so many sacrifices before."So about when will you let us see him. I'm sure Jacob and Rui will want to see Ice." Hayle tried to be cooperative with her husba

"At first I can't remember anything, I woke up in a hospital bed in Hawaii. All I knew was that my whole body was in a lot of pain and I couldn't get out of bed at all. The doctor who treated me said that I had been in a coma for more than half a year." Jacob recounted what he experienced after what happened to him. Everyone in the house was silent, they were listening to what this man was saying. Even so, his hand continued to hold Rui's hand."Then when did you get your memories?" asked Arzhiel who was even more curious about this man's story. Moreover, what he knew was that this man was not in an accident as told by his parents. Instead, he was attacked by people they didn't know."It took a long time for me to remember. About 3 years after the incident, I had a serious memory disorder. I even forgot everything. And, suddenly I woke up with a terrible headache, then I remembered my name and some glimpses of my previous life.""At that moment you remembered Rui?" asked Hayle now who
