An Orphan for a wife

Chapter 26: TWENTY-FIVE

MEGHAN's POV

I woke up, so I just got up to get ready and go for a walk. After I washed and brushed my teeth, I came

back to the mirror here. I looked at the shape of my body, it was obvious that my belly was really

bulging, but you could still see its shape. Even though I was pregnant, my body was not neglected.

I looked at the bruises on my back. My bruise was so big and big, he really bothered me last night. The

kiss marks he left were also very red.

My eyes focused on my face, I was haggard. This is really how pregnancy is, it seems natural. That's C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

why I don't want to go out anymore because I feel ugly. Makeup is still not allowed for pregnant women.

So I also avoid my skincare a bit. I have dark eye bugs, who wouldn't be like this if you can't sleep

every night. After I looked in the mirror, I left the house

I enjoy watering plants. This is all I can talk about here. Apart from the helpers. Sapphire, busy with her

boyfriend. I was outside the house, I also watered the plants near the gate.

"Hija, have a snack first," Manang said to me.

I got a sandwich and juice. I'm also a little hungry, how come. I get tired quickly, I don't know if this is

normal.

I grew up with white roses, I suddenly remembered Jace. This is what he gave us when we wandered.

Even though I don't like flowers, I accepted them.

Time passed, I was a bit bored here outside. So I decided to rest first and sit down. I read the

newspaper here on the table.

"ANOTHER GIRL IS LOST."

That's what I read in the newspaper, I know who did it! Lucas again! So maybe he came out often

these past few days.

I want to help them, but how? How can I do that alone? It would be nice if Jace was here. But there is

none.

I was especially pregnant, so it was impossible for me to save them from Luke's hand.

Where are you Jace? You have been without a hint for months, I miss him so much.

I just sighed, maybe he still hates me until now, so he still has no intention of coming back. But Jeremy

said he was coming back. When? Why does he not want to say when and where? I also can't blame

him if he doesn't want to let me know where he is. Because I hurt him too. I never said he was the

father of my baby.

I did not realize that the snack was gone. Later Lucas car arrived. Manang greeted him, before he went

inside, he kissed me first.

I did not enter first, I stayed outside. I don't want to go in because I might be the one to discuss his

hobby again.

A few more hours passed before I decided to enter. But I still could not walk when I saw Manang

smiling happily.

"Sir Euward! It's good that you're home!"

I did not immediately move on what Manang said, is this true? Is Jace the one he called?

"Ah go ahead Ma'am here we are," I heard Manang say. I could not turn around. I was nervous, what if

he did? What will I do?

"You take care of her Manang."

That voice! I'm not mistaken, it was Jace's voice. I felt something, I suddenly came to life. I just heard

his voice. I miss him so much. I took a deep breath before facing behind me, but I was surprised we

were only a meter away.

I can't help but be happy, he's even more handsome! He was looking at me. I don't know if he is angry

or not because I can't see in his expression.

"J-Jace! You're back!"

I could not control myself yet and I hugged him tightly. I can smell his perfume, this is what I am looking

for. I don't want to let him go. I still want to feel that he is here. That I never dreamed.

I took a few minutes in his arms, but I was surprised that he removed my hands from his body.

"J-Jace ..." I said excitedly. I immediately touched his face, but I was even more surprised when he

removed my hand from him again.

"Babe!"

My world almost collapsed at what I saw, a woman approached him and hugged him. But I was even

more shocked when I saw that woman when she faced me.

S-she? She's the woman I caught Jace kissing, isn't she? What is she doing? And what is babe?

"B-babe?"

I confused the question and looked at them. Euward smiled at her, the smile you know is true. It was as

if I was being stabbed when I saw how he kissed that woman himself. Right in front of me they were

kissing. So I could not move from where I was standing.

What's this? It was as if I was being killed and prevented from breathing. I could not take my eyes off

their lips.

"I miss you," Jace said and even hugged the woman.

"Babe, we were just together before, weren't we?" the woman said and smiled.

"I really don't want you to separate from me," he said and touched her waist.

I suddenly came back to reality when Jace spoke.

"Ah Tita, where's my dad?" he asked. I was hurt when he called me aunt. It was as if I had no room left

in his heart when he tried to stare at me.

"Hi TITA Meghan," the woman greeted me with a smile. I know he is teasing. Because he had seen me

with Jace before.

"A-Ah, h-he's inside," I stammered.

They entered as if I was not in front of them, Jace passed me as if I was just a worthless person to him.

I can't help myself. I want to cry but I have to be strong, I have to be strong in front of him.

I also went inside, I was about to go up when Lucas called me so I went to the kitchen. The food was

served on the table, as they served Jace.

I sat down next to Luke. Because that's also where he made me sit-in.

"Son, you're fine and you're home," Lucas began.

I have already started eating. Actually, I'm not comfortable.

"Ah yeah Dad, by the way. Dad, Tita, She is Cyanelle. My fiance and soon to be my wife," Jace said

with a smile.

It was as if what I was eating stuck in my throat and I could not breathe when he said that.

"Honey, are you okay?" Lucas asked me and supported me. I drank water.

"Y-yeah," I said and faked a smile.

"So when are you planning to get married?" Lucas asked. I was scared, I was scared of what Jace

would answer.

Is it true? That they will get married? But why? Do I think I love him? Why? Why did he suddenly

change his mind and now he is going to marry another woman?

"By next week, I want to hurry Dad. If it's okay with you?" said Jace still smiling.

"Ofcourse! Okay, by next week, I will take care of that immediately," Lucas said.

It was as if I was being stabbed again by what I heard. Is that how he wants to tie up right away? Are

he serious? Next week? Immediately?

"Is that great right? Honey?" I turned to Lucas. Jace and I looked at Cyanelle and me.

"Uhmm." I faked a smile at them. I could not look him in the eye. I feel like I'm melting he thinks.

"Mom knows about this. And she said, she will go," Jace said.

Lucas did not say a word. I can't escape Jace's looks at me. They are sheltering in front of me again.

Did Jace retaliate against me? So is he doing it? So he hurts me.

I just decided to finish my meal.

"Hmm, excuse me," I said and hurried upstairs.

I could not hold back the tears I had wanted to come out earlier. The pain! I thought it hurt that I saw

him kissing someone else. But I was wrong, because the pain I feel now. I waited for him, I waited for

him for a long time.

How is my baby? We? I will not allow another father to recognize him. Jace needs to know everything.

He needs to know that Im carrying our child. No matter what happens, I will fight. They are not married

yet. I still have time to talk to him. There is still time for him to change his mind.

I just cried all the pain I was feeling. So what that woman said is true? That they have a relationship

with Jace? But why did he let me fall forever? If he has a girlfriend?

So does Jeremy not want to let it go? Because he knew Jace was getting married? Is that why he

doesn't want to say where Jace is? Because they are together?

I looked at my stomach again. I feel sorry for my baby, he is sympathetic to the problem I am carrying.

"Baby, mommy won't give up ah? I won't give up, we'll bring your Daddy back. I know he'll be happy

when he finds out about you," I said smiling as I caressed my stomach.

"We'll bring him back, we'll be happy," I said and smiled even though tears were dripping from my

eyes.
