Chapter 67I shook my head, I had lost my appetite to the uneasiness I felt. "No, thank you, Maria. I'll be fine for now."But then Maria's gaze shifted towards Andy, who was standing a few steps away, looking slightly uncomfortable. "And who might this be?" Maria asked, her voice filled with curiosity.I turned to Andy and realized that in the midst of my worries, I had forgotten to introduce her properly. "Oh, Maria, this is Andy. She's a guest for today. Could you please show her to the Guestroom? And afterward, she can have a meal before returning home to her mother and kids."Maria nodded and smiled warmly at Andy. "Of course, Miss Emma. Miss Andy Please follow me."As Andy and Maria walked away, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards Andy. Despite everything that had happened, she had shown remorse for her actions and had taken the initiative to rectify her mistakes by revealing the truth to Alexander. A few minutes later, Andy return
CHAPTER 68I listened to the gentle rhythm of his breathing as he drifted off to sleep. The silence in the room was deafening, each passing second filled with unspoken words. I turned trying hard to fight the urge to reach out, to bridge the gap that had formed between us, but fear and anger held me back.With a heavy heart, I let myself succumb to the exhaustion that weighed me down. Sleep finally embraced me, carrying me away from the pain and uncertainty that plagued me.The next morning brought a heavy atmosphere to the dining table . Alexander , sensing the tension , attempted to lighten the mood by cracking a few jokes, addressing both Olivia and me. "Wow, what's going on today. What happened to being all smiles in the morning? Did the gloomy God visit?" However, his efforts fell flat as neither of us responded with even a hint of a smile. Growing frustrated, Olivia broke the silence, her voice stern and cold. "Alexander, am going to ask you
CHAPTER 69As Alexander listened to my words, I saw a mixture of understanding and concern in his eyes. He took a deep breath, his voice filled with tenderness. "Emma, my love, I understand that you're scared and feeling unworthy. But please believe me when I say that these thoughts are not true. They're the product of the emotional rollercoaster caused by the pregnancy hormones. You are not a bad wife, and I have never seen you as anything less than perfect."His words resonated deep within me, slowly unraveling the tangled web of insecurities that had clouded my mind. I looked into Alexander's eyes, searching for any hint of deception once more, but found only sincerity and love."You mean that?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper. "You truly believe that I'm the best wife in the world?"A small smile tugged at the corners of Alexander's lips as he took my trembling hands in his. "Emma, you are more than I ever dreamed of. I am the unworthy one in this r
Chapter 70Suddenly, he moved towards me, planting soft kisses on my tender skin But as his desire grew, I felt a wave of exhaustion wash over me. I hesitated, my voice barely a whisper. "Alexander, I'm... I'm tired," I managed to say, my words laced with a mix of longing and weariness.Understanding flickered in his eyes, and he gently brushed a strand of hair away from my face. "I understand, my love," he replied, his voice filled with tenderness. "Rest, and let me hold you." Without another word, he shifted his position, settling himself beside me and pulling me into his warm embrace. His arms wrapped around me, creating a cocoon of safety and love. I nestled my head against his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat, that served as a lullaby lulling me to sleep.As I drifted off to sleep, I felt his lips brush against my forehead in a gentle kiss. His arms held me close, providing a sense of warmth. And I surrendered to the sweet embr
CHAPTER 71I made sure to help Alexander with all his workload, whether it was organizing files, drafting emails, or brainstorming ideas, we shared the responsibility and enjoyed the peace of the aftermath. Our shared moments of productivity were interspersed with stolen glances, gentle touches, and whispered words of affection.Maria, became our lifeline outside the confines of our room. We would call her, requesting meals and snacks to be delivered to our sanctuary. She would arrive with a smile, setting the tray down on the small table we had set up near the window. The curtains bathed the room in soft, filtered light, creating a serene and cozy atmosphere.As we indulged in our meals, we engaged in lively conversations, sharing our thoughts, aspirations, and even the mundane details of our days. Time seemed to stand still as we laughed, teased, and immersed ourselves in each other's company.The outside world faded away, its distractions and demands
CHAPTER 72I stepped out to find him also fully dressed and together we made our way out of the room. Hand in hand. Alexander and I descended the stairs hand in hand, the scent of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon filled the air, enticing me to the breakfast table.Olivia, and Maria, were already seated, engaged in lively conversation. Olivia's eyes lit up with mischief as she noticed our entrance. "Well, well, look who's finally gracing us with their presence!" she exclaimed, a playful smile tugging at her lips.Alexander grinned, pulling out a chair for me. "Good morning, everyone. We couldn't resist the temptation of your delightful company," he replied, his voice filled with mischief.Blushing slightly, I took my seat, feeling the familiar comfort of family and love around me. Maria chuckled, her laughter contagious. "Well it's about time you know, It's about time you joined us. We were beginning to think you were lost in dreamland or... Sky
CHAPTER 73I 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. The thought brought a smile to my face as I drifted off to sleep, dreaming of t
CHAPTER 74We picked out a beautiful brown like crib, a comfortable rocking chair, and countless cute baby clothes. I even got the three of us matching outfits. We even found a soft, plush teddy bear that I instantly fell in love with. So cute.As the day wore on, we grew tired but happy. I felt so hungry but hid my hunger behind the excitement of shopping for my child until Alexander had heard the embarrassing growl of my stomach. We decided to stop for a late lunch, sharing a quiet meal amidst the hustle and bustle of the busy city. By the time we got home, it was late afternoon. Maria greeted us at the door as always, a knowing smile on her face as she helped us unload the car. Olivia joined us, her eyes wide with excitement as she helped us sort through our purchases.The rest of the day was spent arranging and decorating the baby's room. We worked together, turning the bare room into a cozy nursery. Olivia's creative touch was evident in every corner,
