CHAPTER 73

I wanted to create a haven for our child, a place filled with love, warmth, and comfort. I already had a beautiful theme in mind that would do well with both gender, so no matter the gender, he or she would love the room.

As I sat in the quiet solitude of my room, I couldn't help but feel grateful. I was surrounded by love, blessed with a growing family, and on the verge of the most transformative journey of my life.

A soft sigh escaped my lips as I leaned back into the cushions of the armchair, my hands still gently resting on my belly. Alexander had gotten this armchair for me as I preferred to seat up than lay on the bed. The Best part is that it has a massage setting that also helps me feel relaxed. As I closed my eyes, I could almost see our future - all of us, standing firm all together as a family filled with laughter, love, and an endless amount of joy.

That's when I realized that Olivia isn't at the table yet, she's always here before me as she always needed to go to the company on time. Concern crept into my thoughts, and I turned to Alexander, who sat across from me at the head table, his gaze fixed on his plate."Where's Olivia?" I asked, my voice laced with worry.Alexander looked up, his eyes meeting mine, and his expression softened. "She had some important work to deal with at the company. It seems like a pressing matter, but she didn't go into details."I frowned, my fingertips tracing circles on the surface of the table. Olivia rarely missed breakfast,

"Oh, I can't wait to read to him every night."The room was complete with a changing table, adorned with soft, fluffy towels and neatly organized diapers and baby products.
