All Chapters of Mine to Take : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Asher brought out his phone and scrolled to his call log, then showed it to Lily. "I called you." Lily's mouth instantly formed an O shape and she quickly whipped out her phone to check, "you picked up." Her fingers that were hovering over her screen immediately froze, and her eyes widened as she got an inkling of what he could be trying to say. Switching off her phone, she smacked her lips together and slowly looked up with a forced smile on her face. "I did?"Asher nodded and dropped his phone back on the table. "I heard everything, Lily." "Asher..." "That's why you were acting up? That's why you served me divorce papers the second you realized she was back?" He breathed out a laugh and looked down momentarily. "It all fucking makes sense now," he whipped his head back up and stared at Lily who had a resigned look on her face, her shoulders slumped in defeat, "why didn't you tell me? You should have let me know Lily, you are my wife, I would walk to the ends of the earth and back

Dark circles have formed in her eyes from all the night she spent awake overworking because she couldn't seem to get herself to fall asleep, plus the tiredness that came with the unexpected bouts of weakness, nausea and vomiting. The news of Asher's engagement with Charlotte hit her harder than she expected, maybe because that was the last thing she expected, especially with all his feigned concern and promises.Lily's hand enclosed around her stomach and the other went to her mouth, the thoughts of his promises had sent another wave of nausea, and before she knew it, she was throwing up the little she had for breakfast this morning. The past week has been exceptionally hard for her. The news had somehow rewired her system, always tired but can't seem to sleep, always hungry but can't even stomach food. The constant nausea and vomiting, have all also worn her out and all she wanted to do was stay in her bed and force sleep upon herself, but it was impossible to do so. Today was her

Asher sighed heavily as he drove into his garage, while Charlotte sat at the passenger side, grinning heavily. He knew he was in for it when she randomly showed up at the bar, and when he asked her what she was doing there, she gave the lamest excuse known to man. He still couldn't even figure out how she knew where he was.The second Christopher left abruptly, he knew it was time to leave as well as he couldn't stand to stay with her alone for another second, yet, here he was, trapped with her for the night because she had strongly objected to being dropped off in her own home, and he wasn't in the mood to handle her tantrums, so he indulged and brought her with him."Aren't you excited to be spending the night with me? It's our first night alone in a very long while, Asher." He mustered a smile as he parked and turned off the car. " Of course, I'm happy Char. I've just been worn out by the day's activities." He felt repulsed at the sweetness of his voice as he tried to cajole her.

"A new hair colour I see," Asher said, noting the dark brown shade of Christopher's hair, which was red the last time he saw him, as he slid into the seat opposite Christopher.Christopher breathed out a laugh and raised his glass of whiskey, "I reverted to my original state, the same way a certain someone reverted to their original wife." Asher fought and failed to hold back the grimace at his statement. "You announce that you're getting married to her, and you cringe at the mention of her name? Never thought I'd live to see the day Asher Allard would be a hypocrite." "Shut up, Nepo baby." "Weak comeback, especially from you... Another Nepo baby." " I have had only 3 generations of wealth, you on the other hand come from two families thG have been in the game for as long as you all have existed."Christopher took a sip of his whiskey and sighed. " Is that jealousy, Allard? Are you jealous of me? " He chuckled and set his glass down. " Never thought I'd see this day. "Asher instan

Lily woke up feeling more refreshed than she has in days. A lazy smile stretched across her face and her hands reached for her stomach. Her smile broadened the second her hands laid on her stomach, rubbing it softly.Angelica was right, she needed proper rest to think clearly and make proper decisions. She reached for her phone with one hand, and opened it. There were of course no messages, but this time around, the feeling of disappointment wasn't overwhelming. In fact, there was a bit of acceptance. "Hey there little buddy," she looked down at her tummy and rubbed it gently. Tears formed in her eyes despite the smile on her face, her mind was made up on what to do with the pregnancy. Her stomach rumbled a few seconds later, and she threw her head back and chuckled. For days, she hasn't really felt hungry and hasn't had the urge to eat anything, and here she was, feeling hungry as hell. It felt like her baby was responding to her through that. She tapped it gently, grinning. "Got
