Uh-oh! I Became Pregnant After Divorce Chapter 16: Drunk Confession Gone Right?
“I think you should stop him soon,” Eloise heard from beside her, causing her to snap her gaze away from Vaughn. Vaughn was currently drinking with his father’s colleagues, and it looked like he was enjoying his time a bit too much. “Is he going through anything?” she asked Xavi, wondering why he was drinking so much. “Same old, same old,” Xavi said, sitting down next to her. “It’s always about Alina and the company.” “Is it alright if I ask about it?” Xavi shrugged his shoulders. “Vaughn probably wouldn’t tell you about it anyway, so I might as well do it.” Eloise faced him with excited eyes. Vaughn doesn’t tell much about his personal life, so this was a good opportunity to learn about him. “I’m sure you already have a gist of what’s happening—his parents disapprove of Alina or something like that, yeah?” “Yes,” she said. “Just the surface level, though. I don’t know much.” “Well, let’s just say that Vaughn never really had a great childhood. His parents are okay now, bu
Uh-oh! I Became Pregnant After Divorce Chapter 17: I'm Pregnant
Alina fumed as she watched the video sent by Amy on her phone. It was a combination of the sweet moments that Eloise and Vaughn had shared as well as Vaughn’s statement—that Eloise was the only woman for him. Her breaking point was the part when Rose told everyone that she wouldn’t be able to get close to their money even if she does marry Vaughn in the end. From the start, she thought that this was a good idea—that by following through with the surrogacy plan, Vaughn would finally inherit his parents’ company, and she could live a life filled with nothing but luxury. But watching the video made her think otherwise. Her fists clenched as she looked at the fond looks on Vaughn’s parents’ faces. She had been trying to get their approval for two years, but this bitch did it in two months! With how the situation is going, she doesn’t think that she could keep on with this. That’s right. She shouldn’t. If she can’t have Vaughn’s parents’ money, then she should at least settle
Uh-oh! I Became Pregnant After Divorce Chapter 18: Leaving Everything Behind
As soon as Vaughn went out of the door, Alina started packing her belongings. The tears streamed down her face as she zipped her bag, looking at the empty room that she lived in for the past three months. She sat down on the bed and allowed herself to cry. This was okay, right? For so long, she hasn’t cried because of her situation. Working day and night for her family never made her break down. Yet a guy—a stupid guy whom she had grown to love so much managed to make her cry. She looked around the room and the memories flashed in her mind. All of the sweet words, fake acting, and intimate acts they shared together stayed in her heart. And at that moment, she knew that she couldn’t stay here anymore. Not in this house. Not in this city. But she didn’t know how she’d manage to move without anybody else’s help. She saw a small piece of card on the bedside table and decided to call the number. Xavi did tell her to contact him whenever she needed help. It only rang a co

Vaughn hummed as Alina wrapped her arms around his bare body. They had just finished making love, but he couldn’t take his mind away from Eloise’s expression just a while ago. “You seem distracted,” Alina said, tracing the depths of his muscles. “Hmm,” he hummed. “Did you do it?” she asked. “Did you break up with her?” He nodded his head. “I’ll have my lawyer take care of the divorce papers as soon as possible.” “Good,” she muttered against his skin. Alina couldn’t help but smile as she imagined the look on Eloise’s face when Vaughn asked for a divorce. She wished she would have seen it in real life. It didn’t take a genius to find out that the poor girl had fallen in love with Vaughn. “I never really liked her anyway,” she honestly said. Vaughn frowned. “What do you mean?” “Well, she agreed to do this because of your money! And she looked to be in love with you, Vaughn.” “She was?” he softly asked. While it is true that the girl did treat her more warmly by the end of thei
Uh-oh! I Became Pregnant After Divorce Chapter 20: Where is She?
Vaughn grasped the divorce papers in his hand and gazed at the beat-up apartment. He had tried calling her number numerous times, but she never answered. And even now that the divorce papers are ready, she still hasn’t answered his call. So, he opted to go to their house. He stood in front of their apartment and knocked on the door. There was a strange feeling in his heart. After not seeing Eloise in two weeks, he wonders if she’s still alright. After a while, the door finally opened, and an unfamiliar woman looked up at him with confused eyes. “Umm, hello?” the woman said. Vaughn frowned and looked behind the woman. “Hello? Excuse me?” she asked once more. “Are you looking for someone?” “Is Eloise not here?” he asked. “Eloise?” the woman frowned. “Nobody is named Eloise here. I think you got the wrong unit.” He glanced at the unit number and shook his head. “She lives here,” he insisted. The woman glared at him and scoffed. “Weirdo. You’re looking for a per

“Why don’t you stay at home, dear?” Eloise’s mom said with a concerned look on her face. “It’s only one month until your expected delivery date, right?”Eloise nodded her head. “It’s okay, mom,” she smiled. “I’m still as healthy as ever. Besides, the loan won’t be paying itself, hmm?”Jane looked down to the ground and sighed in disappointment. “I’m sorry, honey. I’ll try to ask our neighbors if they need someone to clean their house again.”“No, mom,” she smiled. “It’s okay. I’m still feeling good, so I don’t want to waste my time just sitting at home. I promise I’ll tell you when I feel something strange, okay?”Although her mom was still concerned, she eventually agreed with Eloise since she knows that she can never win over her daughter. “Just make sure to greet Cameron when he gets home,” Eloise added. Jane smiled and nodded her head. “I will, honey. I’ll cook your favorite dish, too.”“Thanks, mom,” she smiled, placing a kiss on her cheek. Eight months have passed since El

“Mommy, up!” the cute little boy smiled up at his mother. Eloise looked down at the cute child and carried him in her arms. She observed his face and wondered how he only got the color of her eyes. Any other feature came from someone else—someone she doesn’t want to talk about. “My baby Ollie,” she cooed, kissing his chubby cheeks. “I thought you were a big boy already?” He shook his head. “I’m mommy’s baby forever!” he exclaimed. “That you are,” she pinched his cheek. “Is the little rascal awake?” Cameron asked as he came out of his room fully dressed. Ollie smiled up at him with glee. “Good morning, Uncle Cammy!” “Morning, Ollie,” he smiled, walking over to his sister to show her his undone tie. Eloise shook her head and helped him put his tie on. “It’s been months since you started working at a corporate job, yet you still don’t know how to fix your tie.” “It’s because you always do it better,” he smiled. “Have you gotten the email, by the way?” he asked, sitting d

“Be a good boy, okay?” Eloise said as she kneeled down to her son’s level.“I will, mommy,” Ollie smiled. “Good luck with your work!”Eloise nodded her head. “Are all of your things ready?”“Yes,” he excitedly said. “I have my toys and snacks with me! I will share them with a friend if I see one,” he boasted as he pointed at his small, yellow backpack. He also had a yellow cap on, so he looked like a little duckling at the moment.Eloise couldn’t help but smile in endearment. “That’s good,” she smiled. “But don’t go around and make trouble for your aunt Cadence, okay?”“Hmm!” he nodded his head. Eloise stood up from the ground and let out a shaky breath. “Is this really okay?” she asked Cadence. “Yes,” the younger girl responded. “I already asked my direct superior if I can bring a child, and she agreed. We wouldn’t be doing much today anyway.”“Thanks, Cadence,” Eloise said. “It’s nothing,” Cadence smiled. “Just focus on the reading, alright?”She nodded her head. “I’m so nervo

“Xavi, let me go,” Cadence said, trying to tug her arm away.“Let’s talk,” Xavi said, locking themselves in a stock room and standing in front of the door.Cadence bit her lip in embarrassment.“There isn’t anything to talk about,” she muttered.“That’s not what I heard.”“I was just ranting to Eloise,” she said. “We should really go. Our break is almost over.”Xavi sighed and held onto Eloise’s shoulders, gently slamming her back on the door and caging her in his arms.Her eyes widened in surprise.Well, that was hot."Listen to me, please," Xavi begged.

Uh-oh! I Became Pregnant After Divorce Chapter 68: Office Romance
The office was busting with the usual sounds of ringing phones, clacking keyboards, and business talks. In the highest office, near the large windows, Vaughn and Eloise shared an intimate moment, their eyes locked with affection as they leaned in. “Can we do this here?” Eloise asked. “I could literally see some of your workers walking past the office.”“It’s a one-way mirror,” Vaughn said, placing a gentle kiss on her lips. “We’re not going to get caught.” With that, Vaughn captured Eloise’s lips in a hot kiss, their tongues battling for dominance as they ventured into their new relationship.

“So, why did you call us out for a drink again?” Dylan asked, popping a chip in his mouth.“I think I know why,” Red said. “Did Cadence finally confess to you?”Xavi stopped mid-drink. “Did she tell you?”“Yeah,” Red chuckled. “She wanted to confess no matter what. Actually, the lunches we had for the past week were filled with conversations about you. You’re so oblivious.”“Fuck,” Xavi cursed. “Am I really that oblivious?”“Yes,” his two friends said in unison.“But how is this a problem anyway?” Dylan asked. “I thought you wanted to give every girl a chance until you find the right one.”“He still does,” Red responded. “But Cadence is his f-word.”“His fuckbuddy?” Dylan asked with wide eyes. “Damn, Xavi boy. I didn’t know you had it in you.”“No, idiot,” Red slapped the back of his head. “Cadence is his friend.”“Oof,” Dylan winced. “That’s even worse. So, you rejected her?”Xavi didn’t respond.“You did,” Red deadpanned. “I can’t believe it. Are you allergic to good women or someth
Uh-oh! I Became Pregnant After Divorce Chapter 66: I'm Sorry
The plan was all set. Cadence drove her car back to her apartment during the lunch break just so she could ask Xavi to drive her home. Fortunately, he agreed, and now all she had to do was confess her feelings. “I thought you came here with your car this morning,” Xavi said, opening the car door for her. “Uh, no. You must have seen wrong,” she bluffed. “I took the bus this morning.”“Oh,” he said. “Must be my imagination, then.”“Yeah,” she nervously chuckled. “Thanks for agreeing to take me home, by the way.”Xavi shook his head, walking over to the other side. “No worries. I can take you again tomorrow if you’d like.”Cadence smiled as she sat in the passenger seat. Her heart beat even faster in her chest. How the hell is he making her feel giddy even until now? Xavi got in the car, too, and he started driving to Cadence’s apartment. It was only a short drive from the office to her apartment, so Cadence had to act quickly. “How was your day?” Xavi asked. “I heard you went out to

“We broke up,” Xavi calmly said, taking a sip from his coffee. Cadence almost choked after his revelation.“What?” she asked, some of the whipped cream from her frappuccino on her nose. She couldn’t believe what she just heard. Xavi chuckled and reached across the table to wipe her nose. Cadence felt another tug in her heart. For the past few days, she had been contemplating whether to forget about her feelings for Xavi, but it’s times like this that make it so difficult for her to move on. “We broke up,” Xavi repeated. “Trina and I.”“B–but why?” Cadence stammered. “I thought it was going well for the two of you.”“I thought so, too,” Xavi said. “But I saw her true colors. I visited her last night to surprise her, but I found another guy in her bed. I really thought she was the one, but I guess the right hasn’t arrived in my life yet.”Cadence pursed her lips together. That bitch. She actually had the audacity to cheat on someone like Xavi? The guy she’s been dying to have ever si
