"Pregnant?" Harrison's voice boomed out of nowhere.
Francine quickly stood before Harrison and stroked his back.
“Thanks for that great news, doctor," she smiled at the doctor. "If you could please, excuse us doctor. Our family would want to celebrate the news alone "
"Of course, madam!" The doctor recognized Harrison and Francine West.
"You are pregnant?" Harrison asked with an unreadable expression at the doctor's departure.
"That's what the doctor said," Freya shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe, there was a mistake."
"It's not," Francine was convinced that F
Clayton could not say, he came to visit a family as Red will know that he was lying."I came to visit a friend," Clayton answered in the end. Then he looked at Red. "Grandpa is waiting for you to visit him."Clayton took precaution and diverted the subject.Harrison's eyes went from Clayton to Red. "Are you related to each other?""We're cousins," Red answered."Oh, really?" Harrison's eyes flickered with excitement. "So, we will be related to you by marriage."Clayton looked at Red askance."I'm g
Emerald observed Clayton's reaction but couldn't read him as he was expressionless.There was not even a hint of surprise as though he had anticipated it."I won't deny it. I went to see her because of my brother. But I am sending her abroad," Clayton answered.Emerald looked away and peered outside the car.Emerald wondered how long he was going to repay for what his brother had done for him? Did he really have to do that despite the damage Lizzy did to their relationship?If it wasn't for her, her relationship with Clayton wouldn't have crumbled.Emerald knew t
The next day Clayton and Emerald boarded the helicopter and flew for about thirty minutes. Mr. Johnson was there waiting for them as they landed. There were people with him and they took Emerald and Clayton's suitcases. "This way, Mr. Strong and Ms Emerald," Mr Johnson said and led the way to the car waiting to transport them up the mountain. Emerald was in awe of the development they made in the island as they traveled the winding road. She saw the picture of the island prior to the development. It was already beautiful but it became more beautiful. The project is now in its final pace, so she imagined an excellent outcome after the development is completed. "What do you think?" Clayton's warm breath fanned against Emerald's cheek resulting in a flushed face. She trained her eyes on the road and replied, "They did a great job." She refused to look at him, as she knew how red her face was at the moment. Even so, her beet red ears and neck betrayed her. As they we
Clayton's face inched forward eating up the distance between their faces and pressed his lips on hers. Thrown off guard, Emerald's mind was in a haze. There was a fierce battle within her as Clayton was coaxing her to kiss back. Her mysophobia said no and the other part said yes. The latter part overthrew the former and Emerald responded to his kiss. They were lost in their passion, kissing for a long time. "Clayton, no!" Emerald pushed him away when he was on the verge of taking her. Her voice snapped him back and in an instant he regained his control albeit with much difficulty. Clayton got up. He got dressed and went to take a shirt and sweatpants from the wardrobe. "Put this on," Clayton gave the articles of clothing to her and then strode to the couch to sleep. However, sleep had long evaded him. At the same time, Emerald had also struggled to sleep. Dawn was breaking in. Rain had finally stopped. The eerie gray light illuminated the cabin. Clayton could
"Ms. Fowler, refrain from speaking like that. Others might misunderstand your words." Clayton said coldly as he felt someone was watching them. Clayton was tricked. He was expecting to meet Georgia's father so he didn't bring Constantine with him. After the incident with Charlotte, Clayton became wary of meeting a woman alone. When he came in, Georgia was sitting there. She told him that she was her father's representative. But Clayton refused to sit and left. But, Georgia was adamant to make him stay so she followed him and deliberately said those things when she caught sight that someone had come out of the door from the other private room. "We are both adults, whatever happened inside had nothing to do with outsiders," Georgia replied. "Are you really that desperate?" Clayton said in a mocking tone. "Yes, I will make you mine. Use all means to have you, even giving my father's company to have you," Georgia replied. Georgia's family hailed from Grenwalt. They're the we
"I heard you are getting married," Wallace said with a grin.Emerald looked at Giovanni. He smiled, knowing that Emerald saw through him. There was no point in denying."Olivia told me what had happened. Don't be angry with her," Giovanni said."When are you getting married?" Asked Giovanni."Next week," Clayton said."That's good son, and don't do anything that will make Emerald run away from you again." Leonardo said."Anyways, Red told me that he is getting married," Wallace said.Emerald's eyes
Finally, they were done after a long time.Clayton held Emerald, trying to comfort her, pressing her head against his chest. His eyes were hazy and hot. Sweat all over his face and he blotted it against the pillow.Emerald was shaking in the aftermath, tingles of reaction passing through her body, from head to toe.It took a while for Clayton to realize that the trembling came not only from Emerald, but him as well.He was afraid that he lost control and hurt her."Did I hurt you?" Clayton asked after a while.Emerald buried her face in his chest. She can't look
Needless to say, Emerald wanted to compete in the show jumping event. It’s her dream."Did you take a birth control pill?" Though he was certain that she didn't, he could not tell her directly that he was suspecting that she was already carrying their child."I never took birth control as you are my first and only man," Emerald said with a faint smile."I'm not pregnant. It's past my ovulation period when we got married," Emerald said what he could not tell her.She knew that Clayton was thinking that she might be with a child now and joining the competition would endanger her and the child."Do you really want to join th
