Daddy's little princess のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 121 - チャプター 130

Claire's POV “No,” he answered in defiance. “We are not saying one word about their relationship. They are adults, and they are capable of taking good care of themselves, and they know exactly what they are doing.” I stood, watching my husband, who had gray joggers on, as he pulled himself up on the pull-up bar, flashing his biceps at me. His shirt covered my little frame, dropping to my thighs while I stood against the doorframe watching him keenly. “But…” I tried to give an answer as to why I wanted them together, but none was coming out.My tongue ran on my lips at how delicious he looked, and I wanted a bite of that deliciousness. We had left soon enough after we had our discussions last night. It had turned pretty awkward, but Elena had straightened it out before we left, making it seem better. Also, our date night was forgotten, thanks to us not keeping to ourselves. “Why don't we pair them together? They look so good together.” I picked up a towel as I approached, handing

Claire's POV His eyes were fixed on me, the expression taunt, before he let out cracking laughter.“You know there is nothing money cannot do. I have always detested every single thing that your mum loved, and I had it removed.” He explained. He gave the waitress a wink when she placed a croissant on the table, which was one of the numerous dishes he had ordered. “I should leave.” I stood upright, taking steps toward the door, when his voice rumbled across at me. “I wouldn't do that if I were you.” “What did you just say?”He turned to me, a false smile on his face. “You are supposed to eat with me.”“Not everyone has the time to eat with you; some people actually do work. At least to get the more you blackmail them for.” I let him know before pulling the door open, knowing if I stood there for one more second, I was going to faint. “Are you okay?” Elena and Dainty asked almost at the same time when I stepped out, to which I nodded, accepting the hug Elena gave me.I turned when

Jerald's POV “What the hell have you done again?” Mother demanded when she showed up. Her hand on her waist. I stood perplexed. Why does she think I had done something wrong?“You have to understand, Mother, that this is pretty important, and she asked for you to be here before saying a word; that is all.” I explained it to her while we made our way down to the room. My wife sat at the edge of the bed when we got in there, tears rimming her eyes. “Darling,” Mother had her hand out in a hug as she sashayed toward her. “What has my son done again?”She raised her eyes to meet hers, bawling before she answered. “He got me pregnant,” she answered before bawling again. Well, well. My heart skidded over at what she had just said while Mother's face morphed into a smile. “You're pregnant?” She inquired, to which she nodded and held the test strip to her. “Oh my, I am having a grandchild. This calls for a celebration. Oh, Jerald, you have made me happy. You should come with me, darling

Jerald's POV “Please, sweet,” I had to get her mind off this before it got way worse than it ought to have. “No, answer me.” She stood up, hands on her waist, and when she did that. It didn't end up well most of the time.I raked my hands through my hair, trying to come up with an answer that wasn't going to piss her off. My eyes stay stuck on hers, not wanting to also make this any way worse than it already was. “Like I said, love…” I began. “A child is a lot. Are you sure you are up for all of that?”“You are having cold feet.” She stated, as though letting me know that wasn't a question. “Why would you be having cold feet? You were happy a while ago!” She yelled, and I took a step closer, intending to hold her when she shook it off. Well…. I let out a puff. “I am,” I admitted. “I am scared for you going through childbirth; I am scared of not standing up and being the father and husband you would want. We just got married, and I thought we would have some more time to ourselves

“Huff,” Mother puffed out her lips with a smile lacing them before she made her way toward the cup of juice she had placed nicely on the dinner table. “That took every ounce of strength in me. I will be getting a query from my friend for laying a finger on her daughter, but she deserved it.” She rambled on. “You did well.” Father kissed her gently on the cheek before sinking into the cushion beside me.“So how do you feel? She isn't going to come knocking anymore, so you don't have to worry about her. That must have sent me off, but just to be on the safe side, I am going to give instructions not to let her in.”“I will do that.” Jerald intercepted, walking away almost immediately. I tried to give Father a smile, but it remained hanging because all I could think about was him knowing about my uncle and thinking about how I was too much trouble for the family. “I'm glad you are with child, love.” His face melted into a smile, making my shoulder relax. “The doctor will have you che
