Semua Bab The Substitute Bride Saga: Bab 111 - Bab 120

“Wait. I don’t get it. Do you mean to say that Charlotte was the one who kidnapped Jessica and I’ve been fraternizing with her all this while? Why on earth would she do something like that?” Carol asked, shuddering, as she thought of how close she had been to such a psycho.“Yes, she was,” Sebastian said, proceeding to tell her everything that he knew about it and how Charlotte had mentioned something about Mr. James being her biological father. By the time he finished, Carol’s mouth was literally agape.“Did your aunt or anyone else know about any of this?” She asked him.“We’ve not told her any of this yet, although according to what my uncle said, she knew about Charlotte and her brother. Apparently, they're twins. We’ve not even told her about my uncle’s death. We’re still waiting for her to come back from her journey first. I don’t think it is wise to divulge such news over the phone. I mean, she has been preparing for this moment for a long time now, but still, prepar

Sebastian booked a hotel room on their way from the hospital and drove down there with the car that Carol had brought as fast as he could. The sexual tension between the two of them kept mounting until it felt as though the car would explode with the force of it. He could hardly keep his hands off her body as they got on the elevator, and of a truth, she could not keep her hands off his body either. Luckily enough, they were the only ones on the elevator and even on the hotel’s corridor. By the time they got to their room, they were kissing passionately and within seconds, had divested themselves of their clothes, whereupon they fell unto the bed in unison and made love until they were both spent, after which they lay in each other’s arms, trying to catch their breaths. Carol’s mind was preoccupied with thoughts of how on earth she was supposed to leave all of this, but not coming up with a reasonab

At this, Carol rubbed her forehead wearily, resisting the urge to push Jessica outside the room and slam the door shut in her face. “Can we just not do this right now? I’m not feeling too good.” She said instead. “I don’t give a flying fuck about how you feel. I just want you out of my room. I can’t be staying in a smaller room, as though I’m a damn guest in a house that is mine while you are staying in my big comfortable room and in my bed, so if you don’t want any problems, just pack your things and leave now.” “You know what? Fine. I’ll leave the room for you. Can you just stop yelling? I’ve got a massive headache.” Carol conceded, not mentioning that her boobs were really sore too and she kept having this urge to throw up, not that it was any of Jessica’s business, neither would Jessica care.

The atmosphere in the house was a tense one. For the first time since Jessica came to the house, they were all eating together at the dining table downstairs. Carol attacked the food on her plate gamely, although everything in her was pushing her to throw up the contents of her stomach. It had been two months, yet she still had not informed Sebastian about the pregnancy, although she had no doubt that she would inform him about it before their marriage ended in less than two months. Jessica kept up a steady stream of chatter, but she was only talking to Sebastian, who kept answering in monotones. The fact that she was only talking to Sebastian was fine by Carol, who was not in the mood to converse, anyway. It seemed that she was not in the mood for a lot of things nowadays.“So, I was thinking. You are both getting a divorce ending of next month, not so?” Jessica asked Sebastian, who focused on his food and mumbled something in reply. Carol’s heart began to beat faster as she wondered

“Oh,” Carol said, gulping hard.“Yeah.” Sebastian continued, feeling the need to explain further. “I just feel that children need all the love that they can get, so having a father who is not ready to father a child yet might do more harm than good.”“I understand. What if it happens by mistake, though?”“Come on, Carol. I’m too experienced to make such a silly mistake, so I'm sure that I’ll never find myself in such an awkward position.”“Mistakes can happen to anyone though, can’t they? What if you make a mistake and got a woman pregnant? Are you going to want her to keep it?” Carol asked, unable to leave the subject alone, at least not until she got her answer. Sebastian sighed before answering, so she knew that the numerous questions were beginning to get him irritated.“I’m not going to make such a mistake. Besides, why are you asking me all these quest
