“Don’t think you’re the only one that can get pregnant and have kids,” Phedra snapped “Once my son gets back, I set him up with a perfect match from a wealthy family. He’ll marry and have kids, too, spreading the Ramirez family tree and making Hawley over the Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
moon!”
In these pach circles, heirs are everything
Phedra, watching Letitia beat her to the punch, was obviously green with envy. She was itching for Letitia to have a daughter – that would cut the threat to her and her son by more than half
After all, it’s just a daughter.
The coveted spot of the “firstborn son was still up for grabs!
“Speaking of which, Letitia Phedra asked, “did you get checked to see if it’s a boy or a girl?”
Letitia replied, “Cant tell yet. Plus I’m not going for a check-up.
“Why not?”
“Boy or girl, it’s my child either way
Phedra scoffed, “Oh come on, deep down, you’re probably hoping for a son, huh?”
She didn’t want to engage with Letitia any longer and decided to check on the kitchen instead
Seeing her about to leave, Letitia casually asked, “What about the check-up you did for me last time? You should at least fill me in, shouldn’t you?
That topic really got Phedra’s goat!
There was Letitia, obviously carrying Elgin’s baby, but she was acting all scared and flustered, which made Phedra misjudge… But in the
end, it was all lost cause!
“Nothing worth mentioning Phedra stormed off. Don’t get too cocky, Letitia!”
Cocky? Far from it
Everyone thought Letitia was living the high life, marrying into wealth and never having to worry about a thing
But the reality? Her life was a hot mess, pure toil
“Baby” Letitia could only talk to the little one in her belly. “Mommy’s so tired, there have been so many times I wanted to give up, just end it all. But thinking of you gives me all the strength I need. Your daddy will find us, right? And even if just in case he never does,
we’ll have each other
Half an hour later, Hawley and Elgin returned to the living room.
Hawley looked a bit off, but Elgin was his usual self
Phedras heart skipped a beat Father, about that matter.”
“Let’s eat and forget about it
“Til pass on dinner Elgin slowly said. Grandpa, I’m taking off.”
“What did you say?”
Elgin gently pulled Letitia up from the sofa, a smirk on his lips. “Letty says she’s craving some dim sum. I’m taking her there now
Letitia was confused. When did she say that?
Elgin was using her as a human shield!
And calling her… Letty?
She was getting goosebumps all over! That nickname gave her the creeps!
“Don’t try to fool me Hawley wasn’t born yesterday. “I didn’t hear her say anything to you.”
Elgin waved his phone, “She texted
“You… fine, fine! Pregnant women do get cravings. Whatever Letitia wants, she must have. For her sake, I’ll let it slide!”
Hawley waved his hand in agreement
Thanks for understanding. Grandpa.” Elgin wrapped his arm around Letitia’s warst and strode out the door.
This lovey-dovey act touched Hawley He was happy to see it.
And Letoa? She had no choice but to play along, not daring to make a move.
It wasn’t until they were out of the mansion that she tried to wriggle free, “Let me go.”
But Elgin held on even tighter, “What’s up?”
“Grandpa can’t see us, you can let go now”
You seem to have lost weight Letitia.”
She paused and instinctively replied. “If I were living a easier life, why would I be getting thinner? I’m pregnant..”
She tried hard to eat and nourish herself, but it wouldn’t make up to the torment she got
Elgin guided her to the car, opened the door for her, and buckled her seatbelt.
Letitia was too shocked to move What was up with him….
“Off to get dim sum, Elgin said Tm taking you now. Letty”
Letitia swallowed hard. “Can you act normal?”
This version of Elgin made her more scared, more uneasy.
He raised an eyebrow. “Not used to it?
“No”
“Letitia Sanders, you really don’t know when you have it good.” Elgin’s face tumed cold, and he got into the driver’s seat.
Letitia breathed a sigh of relief, this was more like the Elgin she knew.
Just before it was as if he was possessed
And Elgin did take her for dim sum, to a nondescript little joint on the side of the road.
The table was small, the chairs basic, and the owners were busy as bees
Elgin, all class and looks, seemed totally out of place in this small shop.
“Do you come here often?” Letitia asked.
“It’s been years
She found it odd. This kind of place seemed like somewhere he wouldn’t even glance at
“There you go” The owner quickly served food to them, steaming hot.
Letitia couldn’t wait to take a bite of the meatballs, only to burn her tongue.
She quickly stuck out her tongue
“Dummy, Elgin handed over a tissue.
“I didn’t think it would be that hot
“Eat slower, no one’s fighting you for it”
Letitia blew on it before carefully taking a bite. “Wow…. these really are delicious”
The unassuming meatballs were juicy, and the other dishes were yummy.
Soon, she ate everything in front of her
Elgin, on the other hand… had only been taking a few bites
The Ramirez family was strict, he ate slowly and elegantly, a clear sign of formal dining etiquette training.
“Why are you watching me eat?” Elgin looked up, meeting her gaze. “Hmm?”
I want some more.”
Letitia’s cheeks were a bit red, a tad embarrassed.
They were delicious, and she was hungry.
Elgin paused then told the owner. Two more orders of meatballs, please.”
“Coming right up
On the way back to Ivory Towers, Letitia touched her bloated belly she might’ve overeaten….
Elgin glanced at her, “Piglet”
She said nothing, let it slide since he paid
Just as she was sitting back, dazed, his lips pressed down on hers.
Letitia didn’t even see it coming. That smooth kiss lingered on her lips for a good ten seconds before she remembered to push Elgin
away.
“Mmmph you… muh… mmm… The more she tried to talk, the more she opened her mouth for Elgin to dive in. His taste was all over her mouth.
Letitia kept slapping Elgin’s shoulders, “No… mmm, don’t…”
She tried to turn her head away, but Eigin forcefully straightened it, not letting her back down.
And then, he just went for it and laid the passenger seat flat
With a gasp. Letitia found herself tumbling backward…
