But Andrew pulled her in for a warm hug – a gesture that surprised her, making her cry even harder. She thought the hug was for the baby, not her.She pushed him away and ran to the bathroom, locking the door. Andrew was left confused, wondering if he had done something wrong.Listening to her cries pained him. He realized he should have been more careful with his words, considering her pregnancy made her vulnerable to mood swings.Andrew lay on the bed, waiting for her to finish. When she emerged, her eyes were red and swollen. He sat up, looking at her, but she didn't meet his gaze.Astrid lay down, trying to sleep off her emotions. Andrew woke up at night to care for her, getting water to help lower her fever.The next morning, Andrew decided to take Astrid out to cheer her up, away from Mira's toxic influence.When Astrid woke up, she felt sad, but watching Andrew being bathed in the
"Astrid Walton, get out of here now!" Mrs. Thompson commanded.Astrid smiled mischievously. "I'm no longer Astrid Walton. It's Mrs. Astrid Thompson now, since I've taken his last name." She locked her arm in Andrew's, and they walked away together.Mrs. Thompson was stunned, feeling embarrassed and humiliated. She had never felt such intense hatred towards anyone before. How could Andrew marry Astrid, someone from a lower social class and status?Mira, who was watching from afar, seethed with anger. She wanted to lash out at Astrid but restrained herself, knowing Andrew would see her as a monster. She couldn't bear the thought of Astrid being Mrs. Thompson."Astrid Thompson" didn't sound right to Mira; "Mrs. Mira Thompson" was far more appealing.Meanwhile, Astrid released Andrew's arm once they were inside and headed for the shower to change out of her jogging clothes."How was my acting?" Astrid asked, smiling.Andrew replied coldly, "You weren't acting. Everything you said was true
The silence between Astrid and Andrew was toxic, heavy with unspoken emotions. Astrid longed for Andrew to break the silence, to share his thoughts or feelings. Meanwhile, Andrew wondered how to express his own emotions, how to ask Astrid about her well-being, her feelings about the baby, and her thoughts on becoming a mother for the first time.As Andrew stole a glance at Astrid, he pondered whether she had pregnancy cravings. He had many questions but struggled to find the right words.The silence became unbearable, and Andrew decided to leave, citing work at the office the next day and a meeting with John about parking."I have work to do at the company over to assist you with the packing" he said as he stood up Astrid sighed, exhausted from constantly moving from place to place, feeling like a refugee. 'Where will I go now?' she wondered.Andrew calmly dropped a bombshell: 'You're moving in with me.' Astrid's eyes widened, and she dropped her cutlery in shock.'What did you just
He put the test results back and decided to drive away and he'd return it back to her tomorrow. Astrid stood by the window and watched Andrew as he drove away,so we weren't an item,it was just a tag. She was never important to him,he never thought of her as something serious he only said it in order to excuse himself,she's happy that at least he defined their relationship today so she'll know where she stands and today she knows who she is to me and to her he's now nothing but a business partner who keeps giving her bad luck in all their deals. He'll remain that way even when they get their marriage certificates and she must make sure that she collects all her payment not leaving a dime of hers with him, because of him she'd lose her newly found job- she can't work when she's pregnant. But the bright side is the fact that once their contract expires she'd have enough money to start her life as she thought about this she remembered what she said in the car. .Deep down she doesn't w

Astrid pushed him away. "I can't do this," she said. "Marriage is a serious thing, it's a long-term affair. And if I'm getting married, it needs to be with someone I have genuine feelings for. I don't want to get divorced after a year and become a single mom. I can't.""What exactly is your plan?" Andrew asked. "There's a fifty percent chance that you will survive the abortion, and a fifty percent chance that you might die. Are you willing to risk it? Are you willing to put your life on the line just because of Mira?" Andrew asked making Astrid rethink her decision.Astrid rethought her moves. "I need to think about it," she said, getting into the car.Andrew got in and drove away. The ride was extremely quiet. Astrid couldn't hold back her tears as she thought about everything."What have I done to my life?" she thought. She likes the idea of being a mother, but the idea of being a single parent doesn't really work for her case. She has no one to lean on, no one to rely on. She's alo
Andrew went home that night feeling exhausted. He had a shower and decided to go straight to his study since he wasn't feeling hungry or sleepy while working.Mrs Thompson walked in. "Andrew, I want to talk to you about something," she said in a calm mannerAndrew understood that it was important. "I'm listening," Andrew replied as his mother sat down."Look, whatever is going on between you and Astrid, I don't want the baby coming out of it. I understand that you are a man and you have desires, but you must learn to control it. You must learn to control the urges. Look, you have just this month to mingle and do whatever you want with Astrid. I won't bother you, but as from next month, I will start with your wedding preparations. You and Mira are going to get married," she said."I am not getting married to Mira Walton, and there is nothing in this world that would make me get married to her," he said as he plugged back his airpods and continued working."Don't tell me that you like t
Astrid checked into her room and met Andrew already there. 'What are you doing here?' she asked with a smile.'I came to see what you spent the money on,' Andrew said. 'I bought clothes and I will be resuming in three days' time,' Astrid said with a smile as she placed down the bags.'Work?' Andrew asked.'Yes. Oh, I forgot to tell you. I received an email last night from Seth Corporation,' Astrid said.'That's good. Get ready tonight. I will pick you up by nine,' Andrew said.'Where are we going?' Astrid asked.'Some reason, our partners chose the bar,' Andrew replied.'What are you doing here? What are you doing there? I want to sign a contract and finalize our agreement,' Andrew said.'Uh, I've been wondering... where is Claudia?' Astrid asked out of concern.'She is alive,' Andrew replied.'I mean, where is she?' Astrid asked again.'I don't know,' Andrew said as he walked away.Astrid spent the rest of her day happily withdrawing and spending Andrew's money.Astrid was done dre
Meanwhile Andrew woke up and caught Astrid tracing her fingers on his face "Good morning" she said with a smile and Andrew just stared at her which made her wonder why he was so moody she wondered if she did or said anything wrong maybe she overstayed. The smile on her face disappeared as she decided to have a shower get dressed and go back" where are you going to" Andrew asked asked lazily but Astrid didn't say anything and Andrew knew he had annoyed her he didn't notice when his cheeks curved into his smile because she looked cute that way,he turned to check his phone and he saw missed calls from work and John he likes to keep his phone on vibrate to avoid disturbance and to know when he has a call he dialed John's number "Good morning"" go get a dress ready for Astrid in twenty minutes"Andrew ordered "yes sir" John replied Surprisingly today he felt lazy he didn't want to go to work today he just wanted to spend the day at home in bed he concluded that he is feeling that way
