Chapter 37: What are the babies gender?Sean felt a weight pressing him down. He turned his head and found Carmen sleeping next to him, her head on his chest.Sean gritted his teeth in anger and tapped her furiously. "Carmen! Wake up!"Carmen made gurgling sounds before opening her eyes. "Sean!" she called out to him in a muffled tone."How dare you get on my bed! Haven't we talked about this?" Sean glared at her.Carmen swallowed hard as tears shone in her eyes. "Sean, last night you..." she paused and began to whimper.Sean's expression closed up immediately. "What happened last night?" At this point, he glanced at his bare chest and noticed he wasn't wearing anything underneath the duvet.His heart began to accelerate, hoping it wasn't what he was thinking. "Speak up!" he yelled impatiently."Sean, last... last night you came back to the room drunk, and I helped you to your bed, and then you pounced on me. I tried to fight my way, but I couldn't match up to you," she palmed her mou
Chapter 38: That's good news, LenaCRESCENT WOOD MANSIONSean came back home to his parents for dinner, and immediately he came in, he regretted his decision. Carmen was at his house again, setting the dining table like a typical housewife.Carmen noticed his figure by the door; she quickly wiped her hands with a clean towel before rushing over to him. She stared at him and tried to steal a kiss, which Sean swiftly dodged.She bit her lip till it turned pale. "How was work today? Hope it isn't stressful?" She wrapped her arms around his neck."Can you stop acting like a typical housewife?" He couldn't help but let his thoughts out as he took her hands off his neck."Of course not. Don't get me wrong, Sean. By the way, dinner is ready. I want you to quickly freshen up and come downstairs for dinner," she smiled sweetly.Sean shook his head in disbelief. "Crazy lady," he muttered under his breath as he took the stairs.Minutes later, Sean came downstairs, and his parents and Carmen were
Chapter 39: Yeah, I got engagedEveryone swiftly turned around and found Sean standing with his hands jammed into his front pocket. Beside him was his assistant, Drew."Oh my, it's Mr. Wilson," the reporters all rushed towards him heatedly.Sean threw his hand in the air and said, "I'm not here to exchange pleasantries with you all. I will advise you to leave this premises right now.""But Mr. Wilson, why are you protective of Andrea?" a reporter asked as he shoved the microphone in his face."I heard she stole from your company; that's why she got fired. Is that right? " "Mr. Wilson, are you having an affair with such a lewd woman? How do you think this will affect your career?"Is your family in support of your decision to be with a lady with such a bad reputation like her?" "Are you willing to father another man's child?" Mr. Wilson I heard you got engaged to Ms. Wallner. Is Ms. Andrea perhaps your mistress? "Are you friends with benefits with Ms. Andrea?" "Enough of all this
Chapter 40: I can't even wait for a sec.Sean glared at her angrily. "What do you mean?" he demanded,his gaze not leaving her face."I'm sorry. I can't take this gift from you, Mr. Wilson; it's just too much," she said, pressing her lips together."Let me ask you a question. Is it for you or the twins? Tell me," he said as he crossed his arm over his chest.Andrea itched her scalp as a sigh escaped from her mouth. "The gift is not for me, and it's for the twins," she muttered.Jasmine coughed slightly and excused herself, leaving them together in the living room.Sean placed the documents back on the table, ignoring the look on her face."This Mr. Wilson is so unbelievable sometimes. How could he give Ruby and Pearl a mansion?" Andrea thought inwardly.Sean noticed she was in a daze, so he made his way over to her front and snapped his fingers, pulling her out of her thoughts.Andrea jolted and accidentally brushed her lips against his. Her eyes widened in shock as she felt her breath
Chapter 41: Shouldn't you be happy?Tessa quickly switched off the TV with the remote.Elena got up and rushed up to her. "Andrea, are you okay?" she said, her gaze not leaving her bleeding hand.Andrea forced a smile. "I'm fine. I mistakenly dropped the plate.""Let me see your hand; you are bleeding a lot." Elena tried to grab hold of her hand, but Andrea stepped back immediately."Don't worry about me. I will go and dress my wound myself," she said, taking the stairs.She arrived inside the room, and a loud sigh escaped her lips as she plopped herself down on the bed."How did this happen so fast?" she muttered under her breath as she struggled to dress up her wound.After she was done cleaning her wound, she pressed her lips together and decided to go to bed instead.…………At Westwell Estate, the whole family was seated dejectedly in the living room; the place was so silent that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.Lachlan cleared his throat slightly before he began, "A
Chapter 42: Are you sure she's the one?Sean went into the apartment and found Drew in an apron while preparing something in the kitchen.He stood behind him silently. He suddenly smiled and thought about Andrea and how lovely it would be to have her cook a special meal just for him.Just then, Drew turned around and almost dropped the cutlery from his hand.Oh, boss, you should have told me that you were here earlier. I was startled, Drew laughed.Sean's smile faded away. He glanced at him indifferently; he didn't want to see anyone aside from Andrea in his kitchen.Once you are done having your breakfast, I want you to get me some stuff at the store," Sean said as he plopped himself down on the couch.Here, boss, I made breakfast for you. Drew placed the dish on the table.Sean waved his hand in dismissal. You can have it. I already had my breakfast."Boss, what do you want me to get for you at the store? Drew asked as he resumed eating.I want you to get me books about babies and n
Chapter 43: You better get over itAndrea palmed her mouth for fear of making any noise as her tears began to stream down her cheeks. She picked up the portable frame and hid it inside her hoodie before leaving the apartment." Andrea, you are finally back," Tessa said as she walked into the house.She ignored her and went straight upstairs, trying her best to hide her bloodshot eyes.Immediately after she walked into the room, she rushed to the drawer and brought out a silver watch she had found in the hotel that night.She compared them, and she felt her heart sink deeper. " It's actually the same watch. Mr. Wilson is the twins father," she managed to mutter as her tears fell freely." How could he hide something so important from me?" she said in between her tears.Just then, her cell phone began to ring. She brought it out of her pocket, and it was Sean calling.She disconnected the call immediately. She frowned as she threw her phone on the bed. She buried her face in her thighs,
Chapter 44: Then what is the problem?"Lisa, how could you keep the baby on the bed without putting on a diaper for him? Naomi said it irritatedly.Lisa rolled her eyes at her. "It slipped my mind, okay?"Naomi glared at her one more time before stomping out of the room."You must be deriving pleasure from seeing your mother go through this, right?" Lisa said to the baby furiously:……….Meanwhile, at the condominium, Andrea was just done feeding the babies. She placed them in the crib and stared at them for a long time.She placed her palm on her cheeks as a loud sigh escaped her lips. " Why do I feel like the babies are looking like Mr. Wilson today?" She thought as she patted her cheeks restlessly.” This isn't happening," she kept muttering.She walked to the kitchen to get herself a glass of water, as she felt she might suffer from a panic attack soon enough.She made her way back into the room and groaned loudly."It's so cold today; I should get you two little cuties something t
At the crescent wood residence, the garden was dashingly decorated for the sip and see party of Sean and Andrea's son, where friends and family gathered to welcome the baby. Andrea was dressed in matching blue outfits with her son, while the twins matched with Sean. The smiles on their faces were evident and blissful. Andrea climbed the stage with her son in her arms; he was the exact replica of herself, with black hair and green emerald eyes, just like hers.Sean was jealous at first, but thought it was fair since the twins looked exactly like him. Andrea stepped up to the microphone, her hands trembling slightly as she adjusted it to her height. The air was thick with anticipation. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves, and began to speak."Good day, everyone," she said, her voice steady but laced with emotion. "First and foremost, I'd like to thank each and every one of you present for standing by me, Sean, and the kids during our hard times. It means a lot to us that
The doctor transferred Andrea to the VIP ward as per Sean's instructions, where she lay motionless on the bed, her porcelain skin looking like alabaster and her chapped lips a faint reminder of her struggles. The soft hum of machines and the gentle beeps of monitors surrounded her, a stark contrast to the chaos that had erupted just days ago.Sean sat beside her, his eyes fixed on her face as he held her hand tightly. It had been two long days since she'd last opened her eyes, and the uncertainty was eating away at him. "It's a brand new day, baby," he whispered, his voice low and husky. "Won't you open your eyes for me?"As he spoke, his phone vibrated in his pocket, breaking the silence. He reluctantly released Andrea's hand and rose from the stool, his gaze lingering on her pale face, before he stepped out into the hospital corridor."Boss, I've arrived at the hospital," his assistant, Drew, said over the phone. "But I can't seem to find you—did I misremember your instructions?"Se
"Actually, I don't think that's a really good idea?" " Are you scared that I might make a move on you? Come on, I won't touch you without your consent Lena, I promise" That was the last thing Jacob would ever do after discovering that she was a victim of assault, although the culprit have been jailed. He had planned to tell her, but he knew it would make her uncomfortable and might make her feel unworthy of him, so he decided to keep it a secret." Really?" " Yeah" Jacob came forward and carried her in a bridal style to his bedroom upstairs, he placed her gently on the bed and squat down in front of her. " This room belongs to the both of us and what is mine is yours too." he then fetched out a small blue box from his pocket, revealing a heart shaped blue diamond ring. " Lena, don't panic. I'm not asking you to marry me just yet. I just want to make you feel rest assured so I got this promise ring for you" he took Elena's hand and slide the ring into her finger which looked good
As Sean and Andrea arrived at Jacob's residence, they found Elena busy cooking dinner in the kitchen. The aroma of roasting vegetables wafted through the air, mingling with the sound of sizzling meat on the stovetop.Elena turned to greet them, a warm smile on her face. "Hey, guys! Come on in."Andrea followed Elena into the kitchen, taking in the cozy atmosphere as she began to help with dinner preparations."Sean," Jacob said, his eyes locked on his friend, "do you think Carmen will defend her cousin in court?""I don't think so," Sean replied thoughtfully. "But Carmen, I know, is smart and calculative. I'm sure she wouldn't do anything stupid to spoil her career."As they continued their conversation, Sean glanced around the kitchen, his eyes lingering on Elena, before returning to Jacob. "So did you tell her how you feel?"Jacob nodded sheepishly. "Yeah, I did after the accident. And I even asked her to marry me."Sean's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "What did she say?"Jacob's fa
As Megan sat in the garden, her legs crossed and a cigarette dangling from her mouth, she dialed a number on her phone. The receiver picked up immediately, and she demanded, "What did I tell you earlier? Didn't I tell you to always keep me updated on what's going on?"The man on the other end groaned in frustration. "What am I supposed to update you on, woman? Can't you just let me do my job in peace?"Megan's eyes narrowed as she took a long drag on her cigarette. "Watch how you speak to me," she said coldly. "I'm paying you, and I expect results."The man sighed. "Fine. You told me Elena usually leaves work by 6 p.m. It's already 6. She's out."Megan's eyes flickered with excitement. "Great," she said, her voice dripping with malice.As Elena walked out of her workplace, oblivious to the danger lurking nearby, Megan spoke into her phone again. "Go get her."The truck driver started his engine slowly, careful not to alarm Elena as he moved in closer. When the time was right, he stepp
The next morning, Elena woke up as early as possible and got dressed to leave for work. She had no idea where Jacob went inin the early hours of the day, as she didn't meet him in the room when she woke up.She fixed her hair in the mirror and grabbed her bag, then immediately unlocked the door to leave. Just as she did, Jacob walked in with a tray carrying sandwiches, tea, and sliced apples. "Have breakfast before you leave," he said, placing it on the center table and sitting down on the bed, gesturing for her to take a seat beside him.Elena looked at him in surprise and sat down without touching the food. "Should I feed you myself,myself, or did you get it?" he asked, arching his brows at her."I got it," she quickly replied before he could do something strange again. Jacob watched her finish every piece of her breakfast before finally seeming satisfied."Let me drive you to work," he said."I thought you had important things to do today, which is why you got up so early," Elena s
Elena's words got stuck in her throat like a lump; she swallowed hard and proceeded into the room. She looked around, unsure of what to do next, and her gaze fell on the couch beside the glass door leading to the balcony.She sat down, her palms on her thighs, and shortly after, she heard a knock on the door. The maid greeted her, and Elena stepped aside for her to come in; she dropped all sorts of products onto the bed before leaving.After making sure she was gone, Elena went through the stuff the maid had brought. They were a pair of pink lingerie pajamas, a camisole sleeveless top, and matching shorts made of thin fabric. There was also a bottle of body wash, shampoo, a brand-new toothbrush, mouthwash, toothpaste, and lastly, a pack of condoms.Elena's ear turned red, and she couldn't believe her eyes. What did Mrs. Jones think of her relationship with Jacob? That they might have reached that stage? She picked up the condom and wondered where to keep it; she didn't know how she wo
Andrea was later discharged, and by the time Sean found out, he arrived at the hospital only to be told that she had been discharged and her family had taken her away.Sean drove straight to the Jones residence with the twins. He hadn't been able to get home earlier when the nanny informed him through Ruby's iPad."Daddy, why did we come to see Grandpa and Granny? Aren't we going home to Mommy?" Ruby asked."Because Mommy is here with Grandpa and Granny," Sean explained as they walked into the house, where the maids bowed slightly in respect.Jacob came out of his room downstairs and walked up to Sean. "So where were you when my sister was in pain? You left her all by herself because your company is more important than her health? Don't forget you're the one who put her in this condition!"Mr. and Mrs. Jones came downstairs, having heard Jacob raising his voice, and already assumed Sean was there."Uncle, why are you shouting at Daddy?" Pearl chimed in."Daddy didn't do anything wrong
Elena's eyes snapped open as if someone had shaken her awake. She pushed him so harshly that his elbow collided with the door. Quickly, she got down and hurried into the building, disappearing from Jacob's sight before he could react.Jacob winced in pain as he rubbed his elbow, a look of annoyance crossing his face. "Geez! What's wrong with her?" He shook his head and drove off, still smiling foolishly.Elena rummaged through her bag for her keys, her fingers trembling as she unlocked the door and double-checked it was secure. She buried her face in her hair, overwhelmed by the events downstairs. Goodness gracious!As she threw her bag onto the couch, she touched her lips, her mind racing with questions. Why did Jacob kiss her? What was wrong with him?She grabbed her phone and began searching for answers online. But as she scrolled through the search results, her darkening eyes only added to her frustration.After a quick shower, Elena emerged from the bathroom to find a series of u
