He Cheated on Me, His Uncle Wants a Baby 45 - Sudden Touch
Elena Beaumont’s POVA wave of sudden heat surged up my face and pooled right into my ears. His hand—possessively clamped over my belly, reaching to the curve of my abdomen. Without a word, he drew my back softly against his chest, until there was no space left between us. Locking our chests together.My heart pumped against my ribs so hard I thought it would burst right away. I swallowed hard, a rock forming in my throat. Jake was acting completely out of character.The strict condition he had set for me still echoed loud and clear in my mind: ‘I don’t want any physical relationship in this marriage.’ It felt as fresh as yesterday morning.Yet, the heat of his touch was far too real for me to think that I was hallucinating.“Bring your assistant here. I have something for your wife.”“Alright, grandfather,” he replied, and with that, the line went off.He placed the phone on the table. My limbs were turning numb when his arm still locked me tight.Then, Jake let out a low chuckle.“W
He Cheated on Me, His Uncle Wants a Baby 44 - Between Good and Evil
Elena Beaumont’s POV“…”I darted my stiff eyes to the flower vase next to me.Godrick was still talking on the phone, yet I couldn't help but feel uneasy because Jake kept staring at me. I hoped this was only my anxiety kicking in—but ever since Godrick had called me to his mansion that day, Jake seemed very interested in me.“Elena.”I jumped. Too caught up in my own mind, I had forgotten that the old man was still connected to me.“Yes, Grandfather?” I said, masking the tremor in my voice.“…”“Do you want this old man to scold your husband?”“E-eh?” My breath caught in that instant.“W-What do you mean, Grandfather?” I tried my best not to show my shock.“Your husband. Should I have a word with him?” he continued, sighing heavily over the line. “I’m his grandfather. I raised him like my own son. I know better than anyone how stubborn my grandson is. It must be hard for a young lady like you to deal with and live under the same roof with a stubborn man like him.”“I just want you t
He Cheated on Me, His Uncle Wants a Baby 43 - Flawless Heir
Elena Beaumont’s POV“Were they close, Sir?” My lips trembled at the very moment my fingernails dug deep into my thighs.The moment my eyes locked onto those photos, an indescribable tightness clenched my chest. It was almost like someone had slapped me right in the face.My worst fears fell before me all at once. I had initially thought that the woman was indeed someone who was close to me. Pretty close, just like a coworker, or maybe a neighbour.I absolutely did not expect she was this close to him. To think that even Godrick had her pictures. She was so close that she appeared in almost every frame of the Harold family's photo album.Just like that, a sheer wave of bitter jealousy flooded my blood. Never in my life had I felt this deeply insecure. Not even when Gabriel cheated and brought a new woman in front of me.“Were they close?” Godrick sneered, clicking his tongue. “Of course she was close to us. I was even rather fond of her polite manners a long time ago, and her father w
He Cheated on Me, His Uncle Wants a Baby 42 - Bitter Truth
Elena Beaumont’s POV“What do you mean by that?”I threw back my question like a net, and my gaze, just like a ball, was aimed at his tense face.Jake Harold was trying so hard to look anywhere in the room except at me. He glanced at the window, the paper, the desk, the floor. I straightened my back; I wanted to see how far I could push him.“That—” Jake stopped himself. His jaw clamped shut, shifting to the side as he fought his own heavy breath. He cleared his throat, the sound echoing sharply in the quiet room.“Pregnancy is not an easy job. It brings about incredible changes to a woman’s body. I’ve heard it affects your appearance, your moods, your health. Everything changes. And on top of all that... you will actually become a mother. Permanently.”I didn't blink. I didn't give him an inch of breathing room.That was actually a very nice answer. If only I threw away the fact that the very man before me was keeping another woman a secret. Though, I know, none of that is my busines
He Cheated on Me, His Uncle Wants a Baby 41 - A Real Baby Between Fake Marriage
Elena Beaumont’s POV“My grandfather wants a real great-grandchild,” Jake said, pinching the bridge of his nose with a deep sigh. “He gave me a two-year deadline. If we fail to give him a great-grandson by then, my position as his successor will be in danger.”“D-doesn’t t-that mean... I actually have to get pregnant?” The air left my lungs, and I suddenly felt my voice grow thin and tremble. “I-Isn’t that bad? Our contract, after all, is—”It did.The conditions were still burned into my mind, as vivid as if we’d signed them this morning.It was the very document that had kept me awake all night. I couldn't even sleep a wink until today.Just hours before our wedding party, Jake Harold set down a condition under our fake relationship.‘You need to meet this condition if you want me to help your family, Miss Beaumont.’‘I will make sure Gabriel won't ever touch your family again, and you will get your family’s company back from him.’‘That is, if you meet the condition and obey all my
He Cheated on Me, His Uncle Wants a Baby 40 - New Agreement
Jake Harold’s POV“Gilbert. Hand me the paper.”A lump stuck my dry throat as the heavy atmosphere choked me.At the top of the thick document, my grandfather calmly put his signature. His private assistant who had been waiting there stepped forward toward the bed, along with another assistant who was holding a professional camera, ready to record.Trapped between them, right at my grandfather’s bedside, I stood with my fists clenched tightly against my thighs. All I could do was look on as he made a 'contract' with both our names on it.“Here. Sign your name right here,” my grandfather tapped the document, pressing the pen into my hand. “Write the date below. Once you are finished, hold the document up so the camera can see it.”As my hand moved on its own, my heart secretly hoped I could tear this document—though I could only dream about that.“Please look at this, President.” Gilbert tapped the camera lens. The other assistant lifted the camera’s viewfinder, waiting for me to show
