She looked up at the sky. The sky wasn’t full of stars and even the moon hid tonight. She smiled faintly, “God, you have played a big joke on me.” Her smile is beautiful, but full of bitterness.
“Is it that my sudden appearance in your life makes you to feel bad, so you’re lamenting here?”
His deep voice was especially clear in the silent night.
She turned around and saw a man standing behind her. He wore a black silk robe and his body was slender. As the light was dim, she couldn’t see his expression.
“Why, why are you still awake?” She was disconcerted as he heard what she was talking just now.
Jayden walked over and stood next to her in front of the window, then said flatly, “Aren’t you still awake too?”
She looked out of the window, “I just woke up and drank some water, not haven’t sleep yet.”
“Since you could sleep at ease, that means you had let it go.”
This made him quite surprised.
Didn’t she feel upset after she just broke up with her boyfriend?
She took a side glance at him, “I clearly know my own situation and I know that we can’t return to the past. Both of us will only hurt more deeply if we continue to get entangled. It’s better to let it go quickly rather than being soft-hearted.”
Her bold determination made Jayden to admire as many people were stranded in love and dying for love.
How many people could do it with her carefreeness and efficiency?
Jayden looked at her, “Remember one thing in the future.”
“What’s it?” Victoria looked at him and felt that there was something strange about him tonight.
She couldn’t think where he was weird.
“Remember, I’m the father of your baby. You can’t ignore my existence.” He turned around and went upstairs once he said.
She was speechless.
What did he mean?
The door of the east bedroom was closed quietly.
The room was where Jolene lived.
She had poor sleeping quality and she could even hear a single movement. When Victoria got up, she awoke as she had light sleep.
Later, she got up when she heard Jayden’s voice.
The corners of her lips started to lift slightly as she saw their interaction.
She felt that his gaze had fallen on Victoria.
Many affections started from attention.
Perhaps he didn’t know it, but he had started his action.
Time flew and Victoria had been pregnant for eight months in the blink of an eye.
Jolene also had to pretend to be pregnant.
There was no other people in the house except for a credible maid. She even hid the truth from Coral who followed her and kept her away during the pregnancy.
Everything was going smoothly according to her plan.
Today was the day of pregnancy check-ups. She didn’t go to the hospital since she was not really pregnant. She went to the shopping mall to buy some items for Victoria’s baby who was going to be born soon.
Victoria needed to go for pregnancy check-ups regularly. Since Jayden was free today, Jolene didn’t go together to give them some space.
When monitoring the fetal heart, they could hear the sound of huffing and puffing.
This was the first time he heard this and he felt excited.
She looked at him who was at a loss and smiled, “Isn’t that amazing?”
He nodded.
“I also felt amazing when the first time I heard it as I felt life is amazing. I remembered that I didn’t sleep for the whole night as I was too excited after I felt the fetal movement for the first time after about five months…”
He blinked his eyes and his pupils showed astonishment, “Does the fetal move in the abdomen?”
Why didn’t she tell him and let him feel too?
At this moment, the nurse couldn’t bear anymore and looked at her, “You’re selfish. Why didn’t you let the father to communicate with the fetal?”
The nurse felt that it was weird as she had never seen a father who didn’t know about fetal movement.
Victoria appeared to be reluctant.
He quickly put the blame on himself, “I was too busy with work and neglected her…”
“You should care more about your wife no matter how busy you are since you are the father of the child. The child that she gave birth to was yours but not someone else’s.”
“Yes, yes, You’re right.” At this moment, the man who was powerful looked like a brat who had done something wrong in front of the nurse.
After finishing the check-ups, he helped her out of the hospital, asked her to stand there and wait for him, “I’ll drive over.”
She nodded.
He walked to the front of his car, pressed the unlock button of his car key, then pulled the door for her.
At the moment he was about to start the car, the phone in his pocket rang. He took out his phone and answered it. His eyes flickered for a moment as Jolene called him.
Jolene spoke with a low voice, “Have you finished the check-ups?”
“Yes, we’re getting ready to go back now.”
“Don’t come back.”
Jayden frowned and asked, “Did something happen?”
“My brother is here. You brought her to rest in the hotel as it’s cold outside. You just come back after my brother leaves.” Jolene was hiding in the toilet to call him at the moment.
When she came back from shopping, Jeffery Harris was already at home.
She was shocked at the moment she saw him. Luckily, Victoria wasn’t at home, otherwise this matter would have to be discovered.
“I got it.”
After hearing his response, she just hung up. Fortunately, it was a near miss. She took a deep breathe, looked at her belly in the mirror, then opened the door after confirming that nothing was wrong.
She grumbled, “Why didn’t you inform me that you would come here in advance?”
Jeffery leaned back on the sofa. He was imposing even without saying anything as he was fit and strong.
He looked at her, “How could you say that? I still have to report in advance if I come here to see my sister? Isn’t today the day of your pregnancy check-ups? Why did you go to the mall?”
He glanced at the small and large bags on the sofa when he was talking.
She walked over, sat in the sofa and asked her maid to get him a glass of water, “I just went to the mall to buy some clothes for my baby after I had done my check-ups since the baby is about to be born. By the way, why are you here today?”
He asked the driver to bring down the things in the boot, “Mom asked me to bring it for you and my little nephew. Even though he is not yet born, he has received everyone’s attention.”
Soon the driver came in with both his hands carrying a lot of bags which were full of clothes and food for her child and some supplements for her. The driver just finished carrying all those bags after two times.
She was surprised for a moment, “So many things.”
“Isn’t it all for your child?” He looked at her belly and wanted to touch it.
However, she slapped his hand away. She broke out in a sweat as she didn’t expect that he would want to touch her belly.
It would be exposed once he touched it as it was fake after all.
Luckily, she responded quickly.
He coughed to gloss over his awkwardness as his sister had grown up and got married. He couldn’t touch her whatever he wanted.
“Didn’t Jayden go to hospital with you as you came back alone?”
Jeffrey felt unhappy as Jayden who was her husband didn’t care about her all the time. Moreover, there should be someone around her as the expected date of childbirth was coming soon.
“He was busy working…”
“Is work or child more important?”
Jeffrey interrupted her before she could finish her words, “Can’t he think which is more important?”
When she was going to explain, he already took out of his phone and called Jayden impatiently.
Soon the call was connected. When he was about to question, Jolene snatched up his phone and hung up, “Mind your own business.”
He frowned and was stunned. He looked at her disappointedly as he was for her own good and afraid that Jayden bullied her, but she…
“Alright. I won’t worry about your matters in the future.” He stood up.
She realised that what she said was a bit hurtful. Jeffrey was her brother after all and he was just caring about her.
She shouldn’t make him sad.
