Substitute Bride For Young Master
Chapter 49's
After her pregnancy problems were exposed, Lorie was more relaxed going through the early trimester. Morning sick he experienced felt easier to pass because there are friends who always accompany and support. He is quite optimistic that his fetus will survive, there are no significant complaints after receiving special treatment from Doctor Ana. Billy and Elizabeth are asking questions all the time, while Alex is looking for the best obstetrician to keep an eye on her pregnancy. It was more than he expected.
He was determined, if the results of observation next week stated that the fetus can be maintained, then he will take care and raise it wholeheartedly. He who lived alone for many years finally had a family, his flesh and blood. He will teach the child the values of life and provide the best education. Maybe if he was lucky, he could see his son fall in love with someone, then get married and have his own family.
“Baby, Mama will take good care of you .. You have an amazing family here, so don't be afraid. Grow up healthy,” murmured while rubbing his stomach slowly.
Unknowingly he smiled faintly and shook his head slowly when he found himself unfazed by Doctor Ana's absurd thoughts about love. Yes, after going through all these things, he still believes that love is something sweet and beautiful. He wanted his son to taste the beauty of it later. Don't be like her naive self and can't get her love.
The ringing of the cell phone on the table disperse Lorie's daydream. He moved from the side of the window and checked the number that made the call.
Raymond.
Lorie exhaled loudly. The man is still trying to reach her even though he does not respond to every call or reply to incoming messages.
Raymond kept begging Lorie to see him in every message she sent. Of course Lorie did not want to respond at all. Just like the reason he made before his friends, he did not want to damage Raymond's relationship with Alice, let alone what happened between him and the man was just an accident.
Ding.
One more message from Raymond. Lorie stared at her phone fixedly, worried to decide whether to delete the message immediately or read it first.
The woman sighed and looked up, staring at the ceiling intensely, hoping to find the answer there. Every time he decided to read Raymond's message, his heart slowly grew shaky as the man asked to meet. Judging from his persistence, Lorie was quite certain that Raymond already knew what was going on between them. Unfortunately, he also made a decision.
Lorie typed in a reply message without actually reading the message from Raymond just now, only taking a quick look from the tip of her eye.
No need to feel guilty, Mr. Dawson. It was just an accident. I've forgiven you. Let's forget and live each of our lives.
After sending the message, Lorie blocked Raymond's phone number from her contact. He put the gadget back on the table, then walked out and headed to the kitchen to make a cup of hot chocolate, the only intake that could reduce his current nauseous race.
“Nona, can I help you?” ask one of the servants.
“Nothing. I just want to make hot chocolate.”
“Oke.”
Lorie took a cup and filled it with a spoonful of sugar and chocolate powder. It brews it with hot water and stirs it slowly. The sweet smell of chocolate wafted in the air. Lorie brought her face closer and sniffed the hot steam on the lip of the cup. Her saliva almost dripped. He took the cup into the lounge and sat down in front of a table containing snacks.
After learning that she is pregnant, Alex actually spoils her. The man told the servants to provide all his necessities and make a sweet snack every morning, afternoon, and evening especially for him. The sweet taste helps to reduce the nausea.
Lorie took a blueberry cheesecake and placed it next to her chocolate cup. He blew and sipped the drink slowly, then bit the cheescake piece that immediately melted when it touched his tongue.
“Lorie.”
“Um?” Lorie swallowed the cake and turned to the source of the sound.
“Master,” said as he stood up when he saw Alex.
“Raymond looking for you in front of main gate.”
“What?” Lorie was stunned, not expecting that Raymond would be that determined.
“How is your body condition?”
“It's good. No symptoms of physical trauma remain.”
“So ...” Alex seemed to think for a moment before presenting, “How about going to Dubai for a while? You can keep an eye on new projects there, but don't take to the field. Just keep an eye on the report. If you continue here, someday he will definitely manage to find you.”
Lorie stared at the hot chocolate in the cup that was still puffing steam, as if the answer to all her inner struggles was there. Moments later, he looked up and looked at Alex.
“Good. I'll go,” he said in earnest.
Hopefully with his departure, Raymond can stop looking for him.
