Impotent Husband Wants A Baby のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

“Does there seem to be any trouble, gentlemen?” came a deep, velvety voice, and for a moment, everything stopped.All the tugging, yanking, and shoving came to a halt. Juliette squinted at the shadowy figure of a man who had apparently decided to join them. But in the darkness, and with her vision pathetically blurred, all she could make out was a vague silhouette.The grip on her arm tightened, making her wince.“Get lost!” barked one of the men beside her. “Don’t stick your nose where it doesn’t belong.”The man—or should she say the shadow of the new man—scoffed and chuckled. “Come on, guys, let her go. It doesn’t have to get messy.”“Oh, please!” the second guy scoffed, and although she could hardly see his face, she could imagine him rolling his eyes. “Just mind your own fucking business or else.”“Or else what?” the new man challenged, and everything once again fell silent.“Or else you’ll regret it, you asshole,” the third man retorted, his voice laced with menace.Juliette sob

Juliette was pretty sure her day had just gotten even worse. As if losing a project she could almost touch with her fingertips wasn’t enough, now her ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend were here to make her life miserable.She couldn’t even pretend to smile at their unexpected appearance. “Well, look who decided to finally say hello.”Jolene laughed, that annoying high-pitched voice that almost threatened to make Juliette’s ears bleed. She looped her arm through Tanner’s, as if to silently remind her of the betrayal they both dealt her on the same night she met that handsome stranger who saved her life.“Oh, come on, Jules. We always stop by to say hello. It’s just you who’s never happy to see us.”Well, that wasn’t exactly a lie. Juliette had never been good at hiding her emotions. She was like an open book, and anyone with eyes could read her.But she wasn’t going to get into that. It would be a long conversation. “Oh well, maybe it’s your face. It doesn’t exactly scream happily ever a

Elizabeth Garret watched as Juliette bolted out of the room so fast, the last thing she saw was her dark hair flying behind her.Unfortunatley, the oldest lady in the house was having a seizure and Elizabeth could understand how that could be a cue for an emergency.However, what she couldn’t understand for the life of her was why everyone else seemed to be still sitting there, completely useless and speechless, looking like fools.It was probably the annoyance that danced on the tip of her nose that she quickly snapped, unable to help herself. “Shouldn’t you be calling a doctor or something?”The man of the house—the uncle of the girl they were here to see—falters, blinking rapidly. “Yes, yes. That’s exactly what I should be doing.”Thankfully, he found a little curtsy to grab a phone and call someone, probably for a doctor or ambulance.Afraid they are ruining their impression in front of the older woman, Isabelle tries to smooth things over. “That doesn’t happen normally. I take ve

One thing Juliette was absolutely certain of was that her aunt wasn’t threatening her just for the sake of it. That vile woman meant every word she said, and if Juliette didn’t comply with her demands, that mother-daughter duo would undoubtedly make trouble for her grandmother.Frustrated and feeling cornered, Juliette got out of bed, resigned to doing what was asked of her.An hour later, she came downstairs dressed in a simple yellow dress and plain flats. Compared to the elaborate outfits her aunt and cousin had chosen, Juliette’s attire was modest and understated. Yet, despite her simplicity, she stood out in a way that could only be described as effortlessly graceful.But that wasn’t surprising. One of the many reasons her aunt and cousin despised her was because Juliette didn’t need to try hard to outshine them. She had naturally rosy cheeks, slightly red lips, and long, dark, glossy hair—a legacy from her mother, who had been breathtakingly beautiful in her lifetime. Her father

Well, let’s be honest, that was one hell of an odd request.Especially when this big-ass palace-like house was full of maids and other servants.But Juliette didn’t think reminding the old woman of that now was going to do any good, not in the least. Besides, maybe it was a good thing—for her to get out and find some air to breathe, and maybe relax her muscles. Because God knows that ever since she sat in front of this woman, she had been way too cautious and stiff for her own good.“Sure,” she nodded, standing up. She looked at the door behind the older woman, and then back at the door where her uncle and aunt had been led outside.But before she could express her confusion, the woman spoke up.“Go through that door. Head upstairs when you find the stairs. My office is the second room to the left.” And then, the older woman grabbed a book from the side table and started flipping through the pages.Juliette sighed, and without another word, she headed toward the door the older woman h
