All Chapters of Confession of My Untamed Best Friend: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

(Aiden’s POV)Sasha had forgotten to give me a heads-up about Coleen’s birthday party. Like Jessamine, she was probably not expecting this family affair would be grandly celebrated in a five-star hotel. It was a surprise, after all.Benjamin kept his mouth shut. Benedict and Shayla smiled, hiding their amusement. Colleen did not say anything, but her eyes showed a bit of disappointment. She was supposed to be the center of attention, the most beautiful woman in her birthday celebration… until we arrived at the hotel. Sonia would probably ask her daughter to change her dress if not for the guests. My fiancée was more beautiful and elegantly dressed in her borrowed evening gown than the celebrant. As Sonia kissed her daughter on the cheek, she grabbed her arm firmly and whispered something to her. After that, Jessamine tried to avoid being seen in the crowd unless someone from the relatives asked for her or the photographer had to take pictures of the whole family.I sighed, returning

(Aiden’s POV)Gasps escaped our mouths when Sonia lifted her hand, slapping Jessamine in the face.“Why do you always have to do this, Jessamine?” Sonia’s body was shivering in anger.Benjamin dashed to her when she raised her hands, attempting to grab her daughter.“Stop it now, Sonia,” Benjamin shouted, perhaps the first in so many years of their married life because his wife’s eyes widened, shocked at him for raising his voice at her.“Stop it?” As if she fell apart, she cried and turned to me. “You knocked up my daughter without thinking of your future together? How will you raise your family? You don’t even have a job!” she snarled. "How will you feed my daughter?"I opened my mouth, but Benedict, standing behind his mother, shook his head, stopping me from answering. I closed my mouth, pressing my lips tightly.“You chose this perfect day to get back on me,” Sonia whimpered, clutching her chest and turning back to us. “Sonia,” Benjamin murmured worriedly and dashed to her side

(Jessamine’s POV)“Jess!”There was horror in Aiden’s voice when he grabbed my shoulders. He was trembling as his hands lowered, scanning me quickly and grazing my arms. He seemed to stop breathing when his hands reached my hips.“The baby,” he murmured, parting his lips as if filling his lungs with air. “Are you okay? Are you hurt?” His eyes were wide as he asked.“I’m okay,” Vincent groaned and chuckled as he answered, raising his hand, hoping Aiden would help him stand. “I’m…”He winced when he didn’t. Aiden stood before me; his eyes were wide open, still looking shocked even when they all learned I was not the one who slipped and got hurt. I wondered if his heart ceased to beat and why his eyes were pinned on my belly.“Thanks,” he said, forcing a smile on Xavier, who took his hand.“Vincent, what are you doing at this hour?” Deborah asked as she hung the sweater on my shoulders.“Are you okay?” My heart still hammered in my chest, terrified after seeing him trip and fall.“Yeah,

(Aiden’s POV) The throbbing pain cracking my brain woke me up, not Charlie licking my face. I groaned, pushing the puppy’s face away, and rolled to the other side. Charlie jumped out of bed, maybe finding my cheeks less interesting, and turned his attention to Jessamine’s shoes. The sunlight peering the room through the window told me it was two or probably three in the afternoon, but it was the least of my concern. “Argh!” I massaged my forehead, lowering my gaze as I tried to remember how I got myself on the pull-out bed or why I was in my pajamas. All I recalled was that after what had happened in the hospital room, Benedict went with us to the apartment after Jessamine sobbed nonstop in the waiting area as if her mother had died. Then Xavier invited us for a drink, but I did not have a can of beer like them. I had a whole bottle of whiskey for myself. Was it one? Or two? Sonia made it clear last night that she didn’t want me for her daughter, but what was unfair to us was her h

(Jessamine’s POV)I stared at my reflection in the full-length wall mirror in my bedroom naked. For the past two months, I looked the same except for my hair which had grown an inch or two, and maybe my eyes, which had become puffy from crying. My belly? I smoothened my palm on my still flat belly while I asked myself if my baby could feel my trembling hand.“What on earth are you doing?” Aiden asked, shocked to see me naked. He immediately closed and locked the door. “Why are you not wearing anything?” His eyes were wide as if he had seen something horrible inside the room. “Wear something.”I smiled sheepishly, shaking my head, and continued to stare at the mirror, looking at him in the reflection as he took my night robe and walked in my direction. He stopped when he was a foot behind me, creasing his forehead, thinking of what to do with the robe. Aiden is the most beautiful man I have ever met, and there is no question about his genes. He is gorgeous, smart, and the most loving
