Chapter 38 – Discomfort
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56A few days passed and every time Mel would try to turn the knob on his study, it’s still locked. She would pout but she never asked him directly. She asked the maids and she ascertained that he hasn’t brought another woman to bed.
She didn’t do it quietly, so every time she does it, Klyde knows who exactly it was trying to barge in. At the end of that week, he made a decision. It’s not working anyway.
For a while, it became a habit to Mel. Every time she goes to the kitchen to get something, she would try to turn that knob. She was surprised when she finally pushed it open again.
“Oh, look.” She grinned and was feeling mischievous. She only stuck her head inside the door. Spotting Klyde on his usual spot, she greeted him loudly, in a somewhat sing-song voice.
“Hello! Did you forget to lock your door today? Do you want me to lock it for you?”
He’s gotten used to her tone of voice now. He gave her

Mel frowned as she stared at him.“I mean, you don’t seem heartbroken or something.”She grinned at hearing that word from him. “What do you know about being heartbroken? Oh, oh… surely you’ve been in love before, haven’t you? What happened? Why aren’t you married yet? Who’s the girl? How many girls have you fallen for?”Since he opened up this topic, she became interested. What was it like for someone like him? But as she expected, he looked annoyed again.“What? You can ask the questions but not reciprocate in answering them?” She prompted.He raised an eyebrow, “You haven’t answered yet.”“Oh…”His reminder was on point.“You’re saying you’re gonna answer after I do? Sure.”Mel changed her position on the couch and faced him, a hand on her chin. Let’s think.“I guess

As much as she wants to immediately continue their conversation, her body was hijacked by desire. He smirked at her as he approached. And then, he backed her towards the bed. His touches made her shiver and her core aching.He remained gentle with her and Mel had to actually make requests for him to be rougher. A while later, she was panting by his side. Took them a while more to recover and he actually agreed for them to talk more instead of moving on to round two. She was a little surprised. Also, it’s a little awkward when they’re both naked under the covers.The thing is, she realized now how silly the question was.“Wasn’t it fairly easy to distinguish, though?” She began.“Distinguish what?”“Didn’t you ask earlier, how do you know if you only like someone or you already love them? I doubt you don’t know have an answer to that.” She brainstormed so much earlier, just to come to

“What? Why this question?” It feels sudden.“I don’t think it’s relevant.” She continued with a chuckle, which irritated him. Seeing that familiar expression on his face, Mel was assured.“I’m just curious what interests someone like you.” He replied with indifference, though he’s fuming inside.“Can’t you tell yet? I’m sure I mentioned most of it in passing.”“Give me a summary, then.” He demanded, making her snort.“A very handsome guy.” She began with a tease.It’s his turn to roll his eyes at her. He gave her a look that says “go on”.“One who’s not after my money.” She began counting them on her fingers.“One who would treat me well. Not a creep. Not forceful.” Her expression turned dark, recalling the unpleasant experiences she recently had. He did, too.“
The Billionaire's Annoying Ward Chapter 42 – Sudden Scare
A few days passed and for some reason, Mel was feeling a certain discomfort. She’s not sure what it was. She was lazing in her room, when she decided to check her old email. It’s been months since she last opened it. She created a new one for work purposes, looking a bit more professional. She also abandoned her old phone number and has been using another. Anyway, there’s still social media where she remains in contact with her former classmates. She rarely checks in with their group chats and groups, though. Her username was also cringe-inducing. She never disclosed it to her co-workers. She hasn’t figured out yet how to change it to her name.The usual newsletters appeared on her screen. Huh, she used to subscribe to a lot of those. Even her primary tab is filled with them. She browsed without much thought until something caught her eye. An email marked as important. The sender’s name was familiar but she couldn’t exactly recall who it wa

“I’ll be away on a business trip. If you still don’t feel well, you should go to a hospital.”Mel simply grunted at his reminder. It’s good that he won’t be home for a few days. She could probably think of something by then. He left early and she also got up from bed. She stared at her haggard reflection for half an hour before taking a shower. She feels lazier than ever. She doesn’t feel like going to work but she wants to get out of this house. She left mid-morning in her own car.Ugh. Why is it that upon learning she’s pregnant she seemed to link her actions to it? Craving food she hasn’t tasted for a while is normal for her, so she hadn’t had a clue this way. As for being tired, wasn’t that because of work and Klyde’s demands? She groaned as she walked inside a restaurant. This one is high-end. It’s been a while since she came to one. They’ve opened just a few minutes ago. She decid

She can make the business plan at home. Maybe go out once in a while to find a good place for it. Oh, right. She’s looking forward to choosing furniture and decorations as well. She pursed her lips. She can focus on fine-tuning the details for the café, right?They were interrupted when Cedrik arrived and Lily helped him with the purchases.“Damn. I had him buy some beer and champagne. Can you drink champagne?” She hollered from the kitchen.Mel grimaced. Not too long ago, she drank quite a lot. “I’d rather not. Is there anything to make lemonade?”“Oh, yes. He bought lemons. He likes placing them in his water. I’ll make you a lemonade.”“Thank you.” She relaxed on the couch while her friend and boyfriend became busy in the kitchen. She heard Lily telling him a few things about her situation. The man didn’t have anything to say and merely nodded in understanding.

“Marry me.”In the morning, after they had breakfast, she followed him to his study. This is what he said after they faced each other on the couch.Last night, she didn’t expect that she would sleep straight through. Maybe because she’s no longer worried about how he’ll react…Right now, what they needed to do is come to an agreement how to handle this matter. She gaped at him upon hearing his words.“Uh, how is that a solution? That’s not necessary, is it?” She’s firm on this. They don’t need to get married.Klyde frowned at her. Well, he can’t say he didn’t expect her to oppose. This is within his predictions.He deeply stared at her before responding, “It’s not exactly what I want but if Pops hears about this, he would surely demand it’s done.”There. That’s the safest way to convince her. Last night, he debated with himself
The Billionaire's Annoying Ward Chapter 46 – Marriage
“Of course not.” She admitted but it still didn’t sit right with her. So, she must choose? Who would do the sacrifice? Her or the child? Kind of a no-brainer, but she was truly laying it out in her head. It’s true that the child is unplanned and unwanted, though…She’s beginning to realize the differences in his and her beliefs. Who knew he would be more dedicated than her? Well, there’s his grandpa to think about. Which leads to another concern…“Say, if I marry you and give birth to this child… would your grandpa give me the two billion he mentioned before?”His lip twitched at seeing her sheepish look. He knew she’s half-joking, half-serious. Well, he’ll ask his pops. But he’s not telling her his reply. In a way, he also thinks the old man should. He was the one who promised it.He simply shrugged. She was silent for quite a long time. What else is there to discuss?

“If you don’t want to, then I won’t force you. You’re still the most important to me.”In the morning, he was gone when she woke up. She went to take a quick shower and found him with a breakfast tray when she got out of the bathroom. Those were his opening words as she sat on the bed with him.“I’m sorry I can’t give you a daughter.” She muttered, still feeling complicated about it.“Don’t be. It’s fine. I only wanted a daughter because I thought watching her grow up would let me see how you grew up. And I also thought boys would be difficult to handle.”She can only snort. He has an odd way of thinking.“Are you feeling better?” He reached out to touch her forehead again.“Yeah. The fever’s gone.” And the headache. She didn’t complain about a headache last night but it was there.“Did you check on Klay last night?&

Klyde was immensely relieved. Mel is already three months pregnant but she’s not as grumpy as before. She also very touchy instead of loathing his touch. He dared not to voice out his observations, though. He wouldn’t jinx it.Her behavior is hugely different than before. He’s convinced they’re really having a girl this time. Mel was amused when he predicted such a thing, and told him it’s a boy, just to rile him up. She even came up with a name, Kyle. He’s clearly not pleased, grunting and insisting it’s going to be a girl. He would name her Malia.They made a bet on it and decided not to check the gender before birth. They want it to be a surprise, but she knew she would feel bad to see him disappointed.The pregnancy was a lot easier. Mel thought it’s because they’re prepared this time and they wanted it. She has less worries and sincerely happy with the situation. Klyde was very supportive, too.Wh

After their honeymoon, she insisted on going to his beach house. They spent two days there and she enjoyed watching the sunset.“Do you like it that much?” Klyde asked against her ear as he hugged her from behind.“Yeah. It’s more than beautiful.” She lowly uttered, tilting her head to the side as he began pressing kisses on her neck.“You’re the most beautiful.” He husked against her skin, making her shiver.Mel couldn’t help chuckling. She likes it when he compliments her in his own sweet way.“I’m still the most beautiful for you?” She glanced at him and he quickly captured her lips. Why must he act like he’s still so in love with her? She moaned as he kissed her deeper.“You’ll always be the most beautiful for me.” He whispered against her lips.“How about when we have a daughter?” She couldn’t help but wonder how much

Klyde was gloating. They’ve been teaching Klay how to talk and the first word he could say properly was “dada”. He spent so much time practicing it with him.Mel wasn’t even competing with him. “Now teach him how to say mama.”That kid is definitely going to grow up as daddy’s boy. She’s extremely satisfied with the way he’s very hands-on in raising their son. Who knew he could be very patient? She wasn’t as patient as him.Right now, the man is slowly teaching him how to walk. Klay crawls a lot and is very active, but he can’t walk on his own two feet yet. Klyde needs to hold his body or his arms to get him standing up.Without any experience, he was initially afraid of holding him. The boy was so delicate, he was scared he would hurt him, bruise him or break his little body. He had to be very gentle with him.“Here, feed him. He must be hungry now.” Mel passed him a bot

When she heard that, she began to look guilty.“What? You don’t want to?” Here he is again with a whiny tone.Mel grimaced as she replied, “Something like that.”“What’s that supposed to mean?”“Actually, I’m already on birth control. I got a new arm insert.” She sheepishly replied.Pursing his lips, he asked, “Since when? Why didn’t you tell me?”“Uh, a month after I gave birth? I really don’t want to get pregnant for the time being.” Her tone was somewhat pleading him to understand her worries.“I just forgot to tell you.”He kept his silence.“Klyde, I’m not ready to go through that again. Not anytime soon.”Finally, upon seeing her worried expression, he relented. He sighed and took her in his arms.“But it’s not off the table, is it? Would you be interested in

She quickly swallowed when he turned his glare on her. Mel stood her ground, though. She didn’t do anything wrong. She even raised an eyebrow to challenge him.He grabbed her arm and brought her to her little office in the back. There’s still a couple of customers in the café, so it’s not suitable to confront her there. They passed Nessa on the way, who became a little worried for her boss.“Klyde…” She began but was immediately cut off. She’s feeling a different kind of déjà vu.“Do you like him? Is he your type?” His tone was sharp and accusatory but upon hearing his words, she was reminded of a similar situation not too long ago.It made her a little speechless. She opened her mouth to speak but she couldn’t form the words. What kind of situation is this?“Damn it, woman. Are you not satisfied with me? What else do I lack?” His expression was something

In preparation for the event, he made sure she’s got a new dress. When she put it on, she looked stunning in it. He knew people’s eyes would be on them that night.When he warned her to ignore rude comments, she raised an eyebrow at him.“I think you’re forgetting something. I really don’t give a damn what other people think of me.” Sure, there were moments she would feel small and unworthy, but they’re fleeting moments. She can shrug them off quite quickly.“Right. You’re really meant to be my wife.”That’s statement made her heart melt. He placed her hand on his arm and they entered the venue. He wore a smile on his face, which was rare to see. Everyone who saw it were surprised and curious. They immediately made the connection to the woman by his side. His gaze was mostly on her as they walked in and that gaze was uncharacteristically gentle. At least, for other people who are used to se

Mel fell asleep after that and he could only watch her. He traced her face before it seemed to irritate her and she snuggled closer to him. He smiled at her unconscious reaction.She hasn’t responded to it and she seemed in disbelief. When she wakes up, he’ll definitely make sure she remembers it from now on.A few hours later, she woke up with a need to use the toilet. She tried not to wake him, only to find him staring at her. She scrambled after that.Klyde smirked. He didn’t tease her this time. He let her run away.In the bathroom, she seemed to recall what happened before she slept. Her face felt hot and when she looked in the mirror, she could see the redness of her cheeks. And the damn hickeys on her neck! She did a quick wash before grabbing a bathrobe and squinting at the door. He’s waiting for her, isn’t he?When she got out, she saw him patting the bed.“You haven’t slept yet?” She

Klyde quickly caught up with her just as she exited the door. He pulled her to the side, but she struggled against him. In that moment, he knew he’s in so much trouble again.“Mel, please. Don’t be angry. Let me explain.”She glared at him and pulled her hand back but he caught it again. Thankfully, his driver was outside and watching the entrance. Klyde saw him and nodded. The man quickly scrambled to get the car.“Melissa, don’t make a scene. Let’s go home and talk.” He grabbed both of her hands and pulled her close. Some people curiously looked in their direction and he glared at them. Mind your own business.Her imagination run wild again and as she kept silent, the scenario in her head kept becoming worse and worse. Her eyes constricted as she became angrier with every minute.He pushed her into the car and immediately followed. With her hands freed, she began hitting him. This bastard…
