All Chapters of Substitute Bride; My Husband's Mistakes : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Clara's POV.Pretending with Jace hasn't been easy as I got a moonbump that matched my skin tone and pretended with him that I am pregnant. I didn't allow him to touch my tummy, and of course, he did not come anywhere close to me. He had been devastated since Celine was declared missing, and I wasn't ready to admit to him that I knew anything about my sister's disappearance.Jace worked overtime and came back home late. Today, I called his line, seeing that it was past 6 pm. I should have given him up and left him, but that would mean that I lost. No way, not after putting my twin through all that test.Doctor Paul had called me and told me about Celine's pregnancy. Her tummy was big, so we were expecting a big and healthy baby. It made me anxious about how we would swap the baby at birth. Dr. Paul agreed that he would send his nurse to deliver the baby, and I had to agree with him to meet at a special hospital and not the high-class private hospital that Jace would have preferred his

~Jace's POV~As we arrived at the room where Clara was, I was shocked to see her holding my baby in her arms."Where's my child?" I asked as I walked into the small room.Clara looked nervous, and she wore a shower cap on her head and wore a blue garment that I assumed was the hospital dress for their patients."Here he is," Clara presented the newborn baby to me.The room had bright light, as I assumed they were either using a generator to power the local hospital."Isn't he adorable? He looks like you," Clara blushed over the child that was so full and big in my arms. I hadn't carried a baby before, and I was anxious to hold the little one.He has fair skin, so I cannot tell if he looked like me or Clara."He is adorable," I said, taking in the poor state of the room, and I told Clara, "I do not like the state of this hospital. I will have you and the child transferred to a bigger hospital.""No, Jace. I cannot go to a bigger hospital. I have gone there several times when I went int

~Jace's POV~I knew that Clara would be expecting me to love her after she had her baby, but I had made up my mind to divorce her, and I cannot change my mind about it.I still felt guilty and betrayed as I wished that she had told me the truth: that she was traveling and wanted her twin to stand in for her.I simply cannot bring myself to love Clara like before.When I looked at Clara's face, I felt reminded of her twin sister, Celine, and the fact that Clara betrayed me into marrying her twin.I made up my mind to keep my distance from Clara, but for the sake of this innocent child, I decided to be easy with Clara, and to care for the baby until I do a DNA test to know if he is truly my child or not.However, the little baby boy amazes me when he stopped crying in my arms. He warmed my cold heart to feel the need to take care of him.Dr. Paul explained to me that Clara had difficulty in producing breast milk, and he would place her on some diet to help her generate milk, but the lit

~Jace's POV~As I entered the lobby, Dr. Paul came to meet me and said, "Mr. Augustus, I would like to see you in my office.""Alright," I replied and followed Dr. Paul to his office.As we sat across from each other in his office, which was painted white and had a few medical advertisements of human anatomy on the wall, his office featured two guest chairs and a bed where he ran quick tests on his patients.I sat across from Dr. Paul, and he said, "Actually, your wife's body recovered fast after her child's delivery, so we will have to discharge her so that she can go home. She spoke about registering the child for immunization in another hospital closer to your home because of the distance to this place," Dr. Paul said, and I nodded."Yeah. It will take us two hours to get to this place, so I will appreciate it if you wrap up with all the necessary things you want to do for her. But we will still keep in touch in case we need your help," I said, seeing that Dr. Paul could slightly b

Jace's POV.I knew my child resembled me, but I just wanted to do the DNA test to know that he was really mine. I wanted a child so much, and most especially a son, and now that I have him, I cannot bring myself to accept his mother for her betrayal.I cannot look at Clara's face. As I could feel her betrayal, and she didn't even care that Celine hadn't been found, and she was the reason for her sister's disappearance.I picked up my phone and messaged Luca to let him know that Clara had given birth. I cannot keep it away from them that Clara now has a child for me.So I sent the text message to Luca, and he immediately replied, "What the heck? How manage? So Clara was pregnant, and she allowed you to marry Celine and sleep with Celine. How could she?"Luca was enraged as he sent me a text message back.I sighed and replied, "I don't know. I am as well confused why she kept the pregnancy away from me. She could have told me that night that she wanted to leave and her twin would take h
