Born Ditzy: Drunk Vows, Sober Goodbye Chapter 12
Eight months later, I lay in the delivery room, in so much pain that I wanted to twist Nolan's head right off.He stayed with me the whole time. I squeezed his hand so hard that it was covered in bruises, but he didn't make a sound. He just looked at me with reddened eyes and kept saying, "Breathe. Take deep breaths with me."[Mr. Steele is seriously nailing this whole "birthing coach" thing.][You can tell he did his homework beforehand.][But his hand is about to get crushed. Haha!]"It's out, it's out!"A baby's first cry echoed through the delivery room."It's a boy!"Right after that, another sharp cry rang out."There's a girl, too! It's a pair of twins, one boy and one girl!"The comments exploded.[A pair of twins, a boy and a girl!][Lyra literally completed the family unit in one go!][Mr. Steele is a winner in life!]Nolan held both babies with shaking hands. He looked at the little boy in his left arm, then at the little girl in his right. Tears spilled down h

Celia walked up to me and looked down at me, her expression arrogant. "Feeling pretty pleased with yourself now, huh? You've moved into the Steele estate, you're pregnant, and you're Mrs. Steele again."I didn't answer. I just kept eating my strawberries.[Celia sounds so bitter.][She's totally jealous.]Celia took a deep breath, then suddenly smiled. "You know what? Back in high school, Nolan brought me breakfast every single day. We went to school together and came home together. He didn't talk much, but he was different with me than with everyone else. Before his mom passed away, she even said she wanted us to get engaged."[Here we go again!][Lyra, don't believe her lies!]I looked at her. "Oh."Her expression stiffened. "Is that all you've got to say?""What else is there to say?" I put down the strawberry. "Everything you just said is in the past.""Don't you feel grossed out by it? Your husband has a whole history with another woman."I thought about it. "He never t

Nolan stepped in front of me, shielding me. "Grandpa, I told you not to make things hard for her."Arthur snorted. "I haven't said anything yet."The rest of the Steeles stood off to the side, each with a different expression. Some were curious, some openly dismissive. A few younger women whispered to each other, their eyes full of judgment as they stared at me.[This family's vibe is so suffocating.][Is Lyra gonna be okay here?][Mr. Steele, protect your wife!]I wasn't too bothered, mainly because I was hungry. I tugged on Nolan's sleeve and whispered, "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving."I hadn't spoken loudly, but the hall was so quiet that everyone heard me. The atmosphere instantly turned awkward.[Hahaha! Lyra, are you serious right now?][Who says they're hungry at a rich-family reunion scene?][To be fair, pregnant women do get hungry all the time.]The corner of Nolan's mouth lifted."Of course." He turned to the butler. "Bring out the snacks that were prepa

Nolan continued explaining, "I only asked for a divorce because I was afraid the Steeles would try to hurt you."I blinked."I wanted to keep you somewhere safe, somewhere that looked like it had nothing to do with me. That way, the Steeles wouldn't have noticed you. Then, after dealing with everything, I would've brought you back."[So the divorce was to protect Lyra!][Hold up—he said he was worried the Steeles would go after Lyra. He didn't mention Celia at all.]I thought about it and asked, "What about Celia?"Nolan's gaze suddenly sharpened. "There's nothing between her and me.""But three years ago, didn't you get drunk at that bar—""That wasn't because of Celia." He cut me off, his voice suddenly dropping low. "It was because of you."I froze.He looked at me, his eyes slowly turning red around the rims. "Three years ago, when I got wasted at that bar, it wasn't because Celia left the country. It was because… I wanted to be sure that you would find me."[This is the

A nurse came in to change Nolan's dressing. She smiled when she saw us leaning against each other. She said, "Mr. Steele, you really scared Mrs. Steele this time. She was even paler than you were when you were brought in."Nolan turned to look at me.I said seriously, "It's because I'm anemic. It wasn't from being scared."The comments went wild.[Lyra, this isn't the time to correct her!][Mr. Steele: My wife's priorities are always so unique.][But why is this so cute?]Once the nurse finished changing his bandages, Nolan said he wanted to transfer to another hospital. "This place is pretty basic. I've already contacted a private hospital. I'll be transferred there tomorrow."I was puzzled. "Didn't you say you were bankrupt? Private hospitals are really expensive.""I have enough money," he hedged.The comments popped up.[Nolan is definitely hiding something.][No way he's just a bankrupt CEO—there's more to this.][I bet he's from the Jalton Steeles.][That family's o

The comments were equally stunned.[Mr. Steele is crying…][Man, he must really love Lyra.][He didn't cry when he thought the baby was gone, yet here he is, bawling now that he knows it's still around.][Because the fear only hit him afterward.]I dabbed at Nolan's tears with my sleeve. "Hey, don't cry."He opened his eyes and grabbed my hand. He held on tight, like he was afraid I would disappear."I'm sorry," he said hoarsely. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have just assumed without asking you properly…""Yeah, you didn't." I nodded. "You came up to me and immediately accused me of aborting the baby. Before I got the chance to say anything, you started coughing up blood."Nolan's face stiffened. "…I coughed up blood?""Yeah. A lot. You scared the hell out of me."The comments were amused.[Lyra sounds like she's just talking about the weather.][Her reaction time is longer than the equator.][But she did say he scared the hell out of her. That means she does care.]Nolan sta
