Chapter 25
Theo's stay in New York lasted until Wednesday, which would have made it much harder for Josephine to feel better. She took advantage of his absence and scheduled an examination with her longtime friend and the doctor she went to and prescribed some reliable form of contraception. As she sat at the examination table in the hospital nightgown, Josephine wrapped her arms around herself to warm herself in the cool room. Due to her concern for her sister and the fear that her fake marriage would be broken, she often could not sleep at night, her appetite was getting worse and she was getting tired faster than before. Before entering the office, Dr. Luna knocked softly on the door. She was a middle-aged woman who had taken care of Josephine's health since her teenage days. She was the one who prescribed her every antibiotic she took in her life, and she held her hand after her mother's death.
"Finally to see you here. I just recently wondered where you were and what you were doin

He needs to talk to Josephine tonight, Theo thought. He can't hide the secret about his father's will from her forever. After all, they vowed to be honest with each other. In fact, Josephine's fairness and incorruptibility made him a better man. Jeff's suggestion that he forced her to become pregnant seemed completely inappropriate to him. Could it fall on such low branches? Maybe he could if it was someone else. But, except for Josephine, there were not many in the world who had a good opinion of him. That's why they didn't want to spoil it. Her trust was the only thing he genuinely cared about. When he entered his villa in Malibu, it was about six in the afternoon. The first thing he heard upon entering the house was Merino chattering around the kitchen. "I hope you've made enough food for two," he called to her from the kitchen door. "Oh, you've arrived. Thank goodness. I was already thinking of calling you. ” “ Call me? Why? Is something wrong? ”He

Josephine knew that she could give up the child or have an abortion, which was certainly a worse solution for her health. After all, they are both adults, not teenagers who have been hit by something they are not up to. He will talk and make a reasonable decision. When she got out of the tub, the severe headache eased a little and turned into a slight tingling in the back of her head. She refreshed her face with a little moisturizer and soaked the gel below her eyes, and she already felt much better. When she came out of the bathroom in a soft, white robe, she thought Theo was still asleep. But he had been awake for a long time. He was standing next to the tray he had brought from the kitchen, still in the crumpled clothes in which he had lain down last night. In addition to the freshly squeezed orange juice, several plates were lined up on a tray; on one were salty crackers, on the other soft cheese, and on the third hard-boiled eggs. "What's this supposed to mean?" Theo gr

Morning sickness worsened instead of getting better. Well, that was a hassle! Theo, the actor as he was, agreed that her morning "discomfort" was a hassle, but he promised to help her until she got better. They agreed not to tell anyone about the pregnancy, at least not until the first three months have passed, due to the possibility of complications and abortion. Although the doctor assured them after six weeks that everything was going well and that they had no reason to worry, they still decided to wait for the good news to be revealed. Josephine didn't say anything even to Alice, which wasn't easy. However, she thought it was so much better than her best friend didn’t accidentally fail to mention it to someone. As promised, Theo was really there for her. Of course, there were situations when he had to travel to Europe, no longer than three days, which was a hassle for Josephine, but luck was three times greater when he returned. Days of living together followed. The nights, too,

At the last medical examination, two days before the trip, together they saw the outlines of their unborn child on the screen of the ultrasound machine and listened to the beating of his tiny heart. Josephine's eyes filled with tears, and his throat tightened with excitement. It was a feeling that could not be compared to anything he had felt before. In fact, it was, Theo thought. His gaze wandered to Josephine, who stood surrounded by his relatives. His heart suddenly filled with pleasant warmth and some invisible force pushed him towards her. The moment he hugged her, he experienced enlightenment: his love for the unborn child mingled with another strong feeling. Love for Josephine. Instead of running away from those potentially dangerous feelings, Theo happily embraced them, as if they were the best possible hand in poker. Since he had enough time to read Josephine's feelings for him, he had no reason to bluff and hide his own. After all, as in the cards, so in life, Theo n

When he entered the apartment, Josephine noticed his confusion out of the corner of her eye. "Josephine?" She spent the afternoon thinking about what to say to him. At first, she thought she should just pack up and leave him speechless, but it wasn't in her style to run away like a coward and throw in his face everything she had to say. Besides, she couldn't leave without hearing his side. "When did you mean to tell me?" She said as soon as he stepped into the room, which was so tense at the time that it was like a minefield, not an ordinary room. "What can I tell you?" "You spent the whole day with a lawyer. You must have talked about your father's will. Theo didn't move. Josephine slowly turned her head towards him, but only after a few moments of hesitation did she look up and direct it at his face. Just then she noticed how his eyes flashed when he saw the glass in her hand. Even now he cared more about the child than he did about her. That's why

Thinking of Vanessa, blood rushed to his head. What he currently felt for his ex-lover overcame even the hatred he had nurtured for years for his insensitive, cruel father. At the moment, all he had in mind was to get revenge on her properly. Theo picked up the phone and called several people he had asked for a favor. Leo had a lot of friends in the New York police. "Leo, my friend, you need to do something for me." Twenty-four hours later, Theo stood in front of a luxury building in Manhattan, his fingers intertwined so tightly that even Josephine would envy him. It was hard for him not to follow her. But despite the fact that her departure hurt him like a living wound, he could not appear before Josephine until he took revenge on Vanessa for what she had done. He smelled her sweet floral perfume before he saw her. His heart was beating faster, but not because he felt something for her, but out of pure hatred. If she so vilely ruined his life with Josephine, then he

"I need a wife, Leo, I need it urgently."Sitting in the back seat of his luxury limousine on the way to Starbucks, as if it were the only place people could meet, Theo Smith looked at his watch. He was annoyed by Leo's mocking smile. "Then just pick one and take it to the altar," he told Jose. This spontaneously uttered advice from his best friend would certainly make sense if Theo trusted the women he was seeing. Unfortunately, it is not."So I risk losing everything?" You know me well enough to know that I will never let my emotions disturb me in something as important as a marriage contract.”That is exactly what he needed. An ordinary contract. A one-year business agreement in which both parties win. And then everyone goes their own way and they never have to see each other again. "Any of the women you see would be overjoyed to sign that prenuptial agreement with you." Theo considered such a possibility. But he had worked hard on his reputation as a h
