HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Coraline's POV" Cora, are you even listening to me?" Mei tapped the painted wooden surface of the table, I was on my lunch break, drawing doodles on the table, trying to recollect my thoughts and figure out how I was going to survive living with Satan himself.I looked up and shook my head, " I'm sorry, what did you say?" Mei sighed, reached over, and palmed my forehead, " You don't have a fever so why do you keep spacing out?"" I'm sorry, I just have a lot going on right now. Is something wrong? Was there something important you said that I missed?" Her eyes dimmed, " Not really, I just wanted us to catch up. We haven't had any girl time since Blossom took back your house."" But you understand that I've been busy…" She raised a hand, " I understand, I'm not inconsiderate, I'm just worried about you. With all that's been happening especially Becca's sickness, I just want to know that you're not forgetting about yourself." Aww, damn, Mei was such a sweetheart, bless her. I rubb

Elijah's POVI burst out laughing, I laughed so hard that tears rolled down my cheeks, " Wow, that was a good joke, I haven't laughed that hard in a while." I coughed and wiped my eyes, my shoulders were still shaking with amusement.Her expression remained stoic, " I'm not joking. I'm being honest, I don't want to get pregnant again. During my last pregnancy, I almost died, I could barely keep in my food, I wasn't eating well, was on bed rest for most of it because my body was too weak. Becca was breached and I had to give birth using a cesarean section," She stood and raised her shirt, exposing a long scar on her abdomen. " This is proof of how hard my pregnancy was. I don't want to ever go through that again." I sat up and crossed my legs, about to descend on her with all the anger in me but then I remembered Becca was sitting next to me. She had stopped eating and was watching her mother and me. I turned to her and gave her a smile."Hey, Becklebee, are you done eating? Do you w

Coraline's POV"Can we talk after dinner, after Becca's asleep?" I say for the first time since Elijah came back from work which had been over an hour ago and we were now eating dinner. He stopped eating and raised an eyebrow, shock evident in his expression."Is it important?" He inquired, I responded with a swift nod and he swallowed before continuing his meal. This was how we lived, barely saying a word to each other and trying as hard as we could to avoid each other or maybe it was just me. I wanted to be as far away as I could from Elijah. I played with my food and soon finished eating after reminding myself that I was now eating for two.Elijah took care of the dishes while I took Becca to her room to prepare her for bed. I read her a story and soon she was knocked out and I went downstairs to find Elijah lounging on the couch, his phone in hand.He stopped what he was doing when he noticed my arrival and sat upright and crossed his legs."So what's the important thing that you

Coraline's POVI quickly scanned the park for a sign of my pink jacket chestnut brown-haired daughter, my gaze fell on her a few meters away from the swings. Oh fucking hell!"Becca!" I called out, she heard my voice and turned her head to look at me but then she didn't see the rock in her path and tripped over it and hit the ground with a loud thud. "Oh my God. BECCA." I ran as fast as I could toward her but a blonde man swooped her off the ground and carried her to a bench.I got to where they were, Becca was crying her eyes out, holding her right knee where there was a slight rip and I could see blood trickling out. Crap!"T…thank y…you s…o much." My heart was beating so fast and I was out of breath. I sucked in a deep breath and rubbed my chest, Gosh, I was so out of shape. My new hero stood, towering over me, and gave me a concerned look, " Are you okay? Just take deep breaths. Don't try and talk until you're fine." He had a British accent.It took a minute for my system to cal

Coraline's POVJeremy was heaven-sent, I hadn't laughed this hard in a long time. My late husband had been the last person to make me laugh so carefree.I still couldn't believe that I was at The Pristine, I wondered how he had gotten a reservation at the restaurant on such short notice. He laughed it off when I had asked as luck but I didn't really believe that."I thoroughly enjoyed myself tonight. What about you?" Jeremy asked as he escorted me to my car.I smiled, " I did as well. I almost wished the night didn't have to end." His eyes flashed with heat, " If you don't want the night to end, it doesn't have to. We could go someplace else and continue enjoying each other's company." He wrapped a hand around my waist, pulling me closer to him.Damn, his words sounded so good that I was almost tempted to say yes. I palmed his chest and pushed him back a little, " I'm sorry but that can't happen today. I have to go pick Becca up from my friend's and then head home." His smile dropp
