Elena Beaumont’s POV“What do you mean by that?”I threw back my question like a net, and my gaze, just like a ball, was aimed at his tense face.Jake Harold was trying so hard to look anywhere in the room except at me. He glanced at the window, the paper, the desk, the floor. I straightened my back; I wanted to see how far I could push him.“That—” Jake stopped himself. His jaw clamped shut, shifting to the side as he fought his own heavy breath. He cleared his throat, the sound echoing sharply in the quiet room.“Pregnancy is not an easy job. It brings about incredible changes to a woman’s body. I’ve heard it affects your appearance, your moods, your health. Everything changes. And on top of all that... you will actually become a mother. Permanently.”I didn't blink. I didn't give him an inch of breathing room.That was actually a very nice answer. If only I threw away the fact that the very man before me was keeping another woman a secret. Though, I know, none of that is my busines

Elena Beaumont’s POV“…”I darted my stiff eyes to the flower vase next to me.Godrick was still talking on the phone, yet I couldn't help but feel uneasy because Jake kept staring at me. I hoped this was only my anxiety kicking in—but ever since Godrick had called me to his mansion that day, Jake seemed very interested in me.“Elena.”I jumped. Too caught up in my own mind, I had forgotten that the old man was still connected to me.“Yes, Grandfather?” I said, masking the tremor in my voice.“…”“Do you want this old man to scold your husband?”“E-eh?” My breath caught in that instant.“W-What do you mean, Grandfather?” I tried my best not to show my shock.“Your husband. Should I have a word with him?” he continued, sighing heavily over the line. “I’m his grandfather. I raised him like my own son. I know better than anyone how stubborn my grandson is. It must be hard for a young lady like you to deal with and live under the same roof with a stubborn man like him.”“I just want you t

Elena Beaumont’s POVAndreas raised an eyebrow at us. As that man with glasses flipped the documents, his green eyes occasionally glanced at our seats.“We have a business trip tomorrow,” he said, unlocking his tablet. “The assistant from Castrelle Company suggested dinner before the meeting. What time works best for you, Sir? Your schedule is completely open from afternoon through the evening.”“Cancel it,” he snapped, while the knife sliced into his steak.His assistant froze, blinking in confusion at the screen. “Pardon me?” he stammered, clearly startled by his boss’s sudden cut-off. “Could you clarify, Sir? When you say ‘cancel it,’ do you mean just the dinner, or the meeting as well?”“Both,” he shot back without hesitation. “I have an important engagement with Elena tomorrow. Clear my schedule until I’m free.”Andreas glanced at me through his thick glasses as he tried to read my mind telepathically, ‘Is he being serious? Or, is this just his way to torture me?’ He seemed to be

Elena Beaumont’s POV“IVF can also fail. I can’t give you a 100% guarantee, even if we’re using the best technology ever. While we are trying to find the best method for you both, why don’t you talk it over together? As husband and wife, I mean.” Friedrich removed his glasses, and gave his old friend a serious look.Of course, Jake could only lower his gaze. His brown eyes found the white marble floor so fascinating as though it held more interest than the doctor’s suggestions.“Alright.” Friedrich gave a sudden nod, before turning a warm smile toward me. “How about we start with a quick check-up, hm? Are you alright with that, ma’am?”I looked over at Jake, roaming through his eyes for reassurance. Once that man gave me a slight nod, I turned back and nodded to Doctor Friedrich.“Do you have any period problems, Ma’am? Any abdominal pain, perhaps?” Friedrich helped me lie on the hospital bed. He examined my belly using an ultrasound tool, after applying a cold gel all over my lower a
