Sarah's POV"Look what the seagulls brought Eth." I spread my arms out, pointing toward the expanse of the open sea where many seagulls were flying around, waiting for the fish to surface.Ethan turned to me for a moment before he set his sights on the seagulls I mentioned, his arms drawing my body closer to his as the wind picked up and blew toward us. "Ah, he's got a big fish in his beak." He looked at me with a laugh, watching my face as I laughed.I nodded as I watched the fish being painstakingly carried away by the seagull that didn't want to share its catch with others. Even birds try that hard in life and don't want to share their efforts with others.Seeing it made me think back to the situation Ethan and I were facing on the ship's deck, which was running steadily with the wind blowing against us. I thought about where we had come to with what we had gained. I wondered if this was too much or the other way around.I honestly don't feel guilty for what Diana did to me. I hone
Sarah's pov"Pregnant? You sure? It's not indigestion or an allergy problem?" I heard Ethan talking to the doctor and confirming it more clearly, but I was still confused while looking at the doctor.The doctor went back to check the results of my medical examination report. He looked at it again carefully and nodded his head. "Correct, sir. Your partner is currently pregnant. There is no indigestion, no reaction from allergies, or anything like that." He reiterated the sentence out loud.Ethan grasped my hand tightly, signaling me not to believe him just yet so that my hopes wouldn't soar with him first confirming the truth. "Doctor, sure it's not a mistake?" Once again, he sounded that discordant tone of doubt, but I knew he was just as surprised and hopeful as I was. Ethan turned to me briefly and pointed at me. "My wife is not used to seafood. She's never had seafood before. But today she enjoyed it so much, so it's possible..." he trailed off at the end of his sentence but didn't
Sarah’s POV"How is it? Is it more comfortable?" This was the number of times he had asked about my comfort since earlier.When I wanted to sit down, he would get an extra cushion or even put me on his lap in front of people who, of course, watched us while laughing because they thought it was unusual. During meals, he made a lot of fuss by requesting that the vegetables and fruits used or even other ingredients be strictly observed for their degree of ripeness, cleanliness, and flavor.I can only imagine how annoyed and irritated the kitchen dwellers were by his outrageous fussiness. They were professional chefs, and there was even a nutritionist employed there. He tried to patronize them even though he didn't have the same certification as them.I glanced at him sarcastically. I honestly shouldn't be like this because I'm worried that this will affect the 'Walnut' fetus in my womb. I decided to give it that name because it looked like a walnut. "Hey, never mind. You can make them st
Sarah pov's"Are you going to work?" I tried to get out of bed by pushing my body slowly to move, helped by Ethan's hand trying to sit me up. I noticed his clothes were already neat, and he nodded at me. "Yeah, I just finished getting ready and am about to leave." He approached me and kissed my forehead, lowering his head and looking down. His hand moved to gently rub my stomach. "Morning, little Canary, you're doing well there, right? How did you sleep last night?"I smiled a little while listening to his intense chat with canary. It seemed like both of them had a lot to talk about while this chat was still going one way. I looked up at him and caressed his face softly. "He's fine. There's no problem with his sleep, and he has no complaints. But he wishes he could rest longer." I told him my feelings, which I sometimes couldn't distinguish from hers.This pregnancy was making me less of myself and less of my desires; maybe the doctor was right. Many things would change, including th
Ethan's pov"Sarah? Where are you?" I walked into the house and found no one else around.The house was deserted, with no servants milling around as they usually do with work. As I continued to walk, I stared strangely and questioned where were they all? What happened? Could it be something...?I quickly shook my head, denying the bad thoughts I was thinking. I knew I had to be vigilant, but I didn't want that kind of thing to settle into my subconscious and happen. As much as possible, I had to push my fears away and stay positive no matter what.But this was making me uneasy. "Where did they all go?" I took out the phone from my other hand while the other hand lowered the peaches Sarah had asked me to buy onto the dining table.I repeatedly tried to call her, but there was no answer from the other end; I ran straight to her room, and as soon as I opened the door, I became even more panicked. My chest was pounding, my fear was getting worse, and seeing her not in the usual place I go
Ethan’s POV"Why do you think you don't deserve it?" I often found Sarah to have such low confidence.Seeing her wonder about what she deserved and didn't deserve bothered me. When people out there unknowingly want something more to be able to have, she feels unworthy.If someone like her feels unworthy of receiving goodness and happiness in her life, then I can say that no one is more deserving of it.I held her hand tightly while looking up at the afternoon sky. "Believe me, you are more than worthy Sarah. You deserve all the happiness you can get. For what you do, you deserve to be happy and have no reason to question it."Everyone deserves happiness, and no human being should ever feel unworthy of the joy that comes their way because when they think and feel that way, they are genuine people who deserve happiness."What's wrong?" I looked to the side and found her pushing away, her head resting on my shoulder.There was something strange about the look on her face, she didn't look
Ethan’s POvLately it will become increasingly restless with Sarah's condition, she makes me worry about her condition. I continued to be uneasy, even though some people who knew about Sarah's pregnancy said it was fine and I didn't need to worry too much.But I can't deny that Sarah's situation significantly affects me.Yes, only some people knew about Sarah's pregnancy. I did it on purpose because I was worried about her situation. I was afraid that if the news spread further and reached others, it would bring Sarah lousy luck.The only people who knew about her pregnancy were Luke, Santika, Donna, and Lira. Lira has been a great help to me during Sarah's pregnancy. Lately, she has often visited to take care of herself.I was pretty happy because every time she came, Sarah became happier. Lira, who came with various things, always brought the old knowledge with her. Yes, she's the only one with a mother among us, even though her mother lives far away. She's constantly updated about
Ethan’s POv"Don't be sad because of me," Sarah said again that, in between her meals, her thoughts didn't stop there.I looked at her. She was trying not to care as she said it, but I could tell she was holding back the sadness in her eyes; she wasn't in a good place herself, asking me not to worry too much about her situation.She took over her spoon and ate herself, lowering her gaze to avoid me. "You've done enough for me. Why do you feel guilty?"I really should have just clenched my mouth shut.Which part of me had forgotten to deal with. The doctor often emphasized her emotional state, which could be more sensitive, and Lira even confirmed it to me.She who repeatedly met with me often discussed it in detail even if only in passing, she asked me not to forget about it and be careful because her sensitivity could trigger deep sadness and have a harmful impact on her pregnancy.At one point, Lira told me she couldn't understand why Sarah was crying because they were looking at an
