All Chapters of The Love That Passed: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Colleen's POV After we had our lunch, I told mom that I wouldn't be able to stick around because I wanted to rest. I am going to have a check-up tomorrow, and I want to be ready physically and emotionally. I stayed in my room and, from time to time, I looked at the television not too far from our bed. Because I was so curious, I turned it on and watched the news. It was really all over the news. I still can't believe it. I wonder how Jared would react to this. Or maybe he already knew about it. Did he feel hurt? I guess not. The way he talked to me before lunch was good, and I don't sense any kind of jealousy in his voice. I turned off the TV and decided to rest. I want to be healthy for tomorrow because I don't want to cause my baby any trouble. The sound of my phone ringing wakes me up from my nap. I didn't notice that I had slept already. I took my phone, and I smiled after I saw Jared's name. "Hello," I answered. Maybe my voice was a little husky from my sleep. "I'm sorry I wok

Third Person's POV "Is it?" Colleen asked again. After Jared left the room, she looked at Dr. Gerard and asked him about her concern. She was shy about it, but she really wanted to know because she wanted to at least please her husband. "Well, I didn't expect that you would be asking me that. I mean, you're married, so it is fine if you are worried about that matter. But, I think Jared will never force you to do that," Dr. Gerard said. "Exactly. That's why I'm asking you so that I can offer it to him. I mean, I wanted to, you know, make him feel that he had a wife," she replied shyly. "Colleen, Jared knows about your condition, and I'm sure that if you are about to be intimate with him, he will worry about you." "That's why I want to know if it would be fine if we did it again. I mean, he was gentle when we first, you know, uhm," she said with her head down, as she couldn't look at Dr. Gerard. "Alright, you can, but with caution," Dr. Gerard replied. He was really shocked to hear

Jared's POV I don't think bringing Colleen into my office is a good idea. She was seated on the couch in the receiving area of my office, scrolling on her cellphone, and here I am, watching her. After lunch, I didn't want to leave her still, so I decided to take her with me after she made sure that she was feeling fine. My wife is very simple. I want to think that it was because of her condition, but I had a feeling that it was because of what she and her family had been through. Her parents' separation scares and hurts her, and she feels a sense of abandonment when none of them take her after. Despite that fact, she grew up to be a very sensible, kind, and good person. What's lacking in her is not a hindrance to doing what she wants to do. Although they were all simple things as well, "You're not going to finish what you need to finish if you keep on staring at me like that." I heard her say something that made me smile at her. She was not looking at me and was still scrolling th

Colleen's POV It was clear that Jared was behind that scandal, and that worries me. With everything on the news, it appeared that Derrick was not good at all. Many adore and admire him for being a kind and loving person. He was always in the news about his charity events, along with his wife, Mia. She is Senator Dean's daughter, who was known for being a humanitarian. Both father and daughter were loved by many, and everyone looked up to them. That must be the reason why Derrick approached her. I remember that they got married before the election, and everyone was moved, including me, that he prioritized his wedding over the campaign itself. Now that we get to know the real him, I feel sorry for those who almost worship and fight for him. He was a fraud, and no matter how much he denied it, the truth was screaming to the people that he was not what we thought he was. It had been a month since that incident, and it was still a hot topic on the news and on social media. The government

Jared's POV I had been too emotional, and I was thinking that I had made Colleen worried because of that. As much as possible, I didn't want to give her any more trouble, and showing her that side of me worries me. I was glad that she was strong and understood what I had been going through. The days and weeks passed, and I started to settle everything in the office. Colleen was now in her fifth month of pregnancy, and I wanted to stay by her side all the time. "Sir, we can start the interview for the secretary position," Rodney said as he peered into my office after he knocked. I gave him a nod, and I was sure that he understood what I meant, so I got up from my chair and followed him to the interview and testing room. As I got in, I found 5 applicants, consisting of 3 males and 2 females. I would want to choose all males, but I don't want to discriminate, so I will just do the interview and grade them accordingly. They will be working with Rodney, so I guess I need to ask his opin
