“Yes! I guess it would be a good idea if you take her on some tour. Probably, it would help her see the more vibrant side of the world and find a way to overcome her grief! Don't worry about the arrangements, I will ask Stuart to arrange every single thing for you, just tell me the name of the places you want to visit first.”Warner replied as soon as Otis presented his thoughts about what he was going to do next, thinking that it would make Otis happy. Even though he had not transferred the entire empire under his name, he didn't always assume his step son to be unreliable. In fact, he did trust him; and as for the inheritance clause, it was just a condition that was being transferred for generations, and he himself wasn't able to break that tradition.That was why he had told everything to his wife and Otis’ mother before their wedding, and she was the one who had said that neither her, nor her son would have any problem with that.However, she had passed away years ago; and since
Before Eliana could say a word, Noah’s phone buzzed in his pocket. He quickly pulled it out, glancing at the screen, and a soft smile appeared on his face. It was a message from Warner: “I am back in Edinburgh and at the Edencrest Estate as well. Expecting to see you both for dinner tonight.”Typing a quick reply to his grandfather, Noah slipped the phone back into his pocket, then turned to Eliana with a playful grin. “Well, I think that my surprise is officially ruined. So now, you should definitely go ahead with whatever you were going to say!”His voice was teasing, but Eliana’s gaze dropped to the ground, her face warming with the flush of slight embarrassment. Noah, catching her reaction, chuckled softly and reached out, playfully poking her on the nose. "Come on, silly! What are you getting so worked up over, tell me?”The warmth of his smile was reassuring, urging her to speak. Eliana lifted her eyes hesitantly, meeting his. "Whatever it is, don’t worry. You know you can
Noah's POV:The moment I saw Eliana crumple to the ground like a doll, a scream left my mouth and I felt like my heart had suddenly stopped beating. For a moment, everything in front of my eyes went blank with panic, and I rushed towards her. Lifting her into my lap, I started to rub her hands, still coaxing her relentlessly. “Ellie! Ellie!! Wake up! Wake up!! Open your eyes.”And even though I was screaming at the top of my lungs, I had a feeling that my throat wasn't doing its best; otherwise, why was she not able to hear me yet?Panic started to short circuit the pathways in my brain and within seconds, I was not able to think anything at all!In all those months, I had learnt to deal with anything and everything, but fighting with fate when Eliana was unconscious… not opening her eyes and lying in my arms, was still capable of stealing all my senses at once.I checked her pulse and tried to assess her condition to find out if she might have fainted because of low blood sugar, bu
Noah's POV:I can't explain how the tick-tock of the clock, that was reminding me of every passing second, started to feel once we had been kicked out of the room.Yes, the doctor had indeed asked us to leave the room politely, but that still wasn't enough to ease the palpitations of my heart, or the panic of my head go away– because there was nothing to make the anxiety that was at the root of it, feel any better.On the contrary, she had actually contributed to raising the level of anticipation and fear by kicking me out. And I was damn sure that if she was going to take more than ten minutes for the check up, I would be the next one to get checked!Because the more the time was passing with Eliana's eyes being shut, the further the probability of my eyes attaining the same state of unconsciousness, was increasing.Meanwhile, uncle Stuart and Grandpa were strolling in the hallway like nothing had happened, although the lines of tension were pasted on their old faces.The strength th
Warner was not able to hold his happiness back… everything in his life had started to look pink and rosy once again, and all the broken branches were ready to heal; the grass was turning green again.Finally, it was looking like spring had once again knocked on the door of his life.He walked outside with Stuart following closely behind them, and halted as they reached the double doors leading to the foyer. Without breaking his step, Stuart smoothly went ahead to open the car door for the doctor and greeted her pleasantly. As soon as Stuart turned around after seeing the doctor off, Warner spoke up. “Stuart, there are a few things I want you to arrange on a priority basis. Start noting them down, before I forget them. I am surely getting old, but I don't want my great grandchildren to think that their great grandpa didn’t love them because he couldn't care for them or their comfort–*“Master! Do you really think that they would even know what you are doing for them right now, or wha
Noah entered the room slowly, without making any noise. He was afraid that he might disturb Eliana somehow– even though she hadn't regained consciousness yet. He tiptoed to the bedside, carefully lowering himself into the chair.But the moment he sat by her side and took her hand in his own, Eliana slowly opened her eyelids and looked directly at him through her hazy gaze don't. “I… what happened… I don't–”Noah soothed her, brushing over her knuckles with his thumb. “Stay there, don't try to get up. The doctor said you need rest…”“Doctor!? But what happened to me, Noah! I am alright, then why–”“Yes you are perfectly fine. It's just that; some vitamins and minerals are lacking from your body, because of which you're running low on strength. But don't worry, now that you're not just one but two, I am going to double my care. Today onwards, I'm not going to leave the house until you have finished your meals, all your medicines and followed the routine as prescribed by the doctor–”
As soon as Otis heard the words that Eliana was going to be a mother, his face turned completely dark.After all, he had spent all these days planning and plotting, in order to make everything perfect for his one and only son.And what was it all for? Just so that some random girl from a low income family like Frosts, could suddenly appear in their lives and ruin it completely?!He couldn't let that happen, he had to think about something regarding this new problem.But while he was thinking this, he was also aware that Warner must be waiting for his reply. He spoke up, injecting just enough enthusiasm in his voice;“Wow! What great news to have heard in such a long while. I will definitely convey it to Viola, and we will plan our return as soon as possible–”“Oh no, you don't have to plan anything. Just give the details of your whereabouts to Stuart, and he will arrange everything for you. You don't need to take any unnecessary stress, just make sure to do it as soon as possible. I w
“And now, you are just supposed to take proper rest whenever your body demands it, and take care of yourself. I know I am asking for a lot already, but if you are comfortable with leaving your company to me for some time, you can take time off. This way, you won't tire yourself…”Noah started to speak about his concerns as he remembered the words of the doctor, by which it was clear that even a little tension could be dangerous for the child and the mother, both.And in this situation, he couldn't let her take the stress of her business, or in fact anything at all. But before he could have completed his words, Eliana interrupted him, placing her hand over his. “I get it, what you are trying to explain. But it's okay, Noah. I am just pregnant and it's not as scary of a condition, nor is it something to be as fearful of, as you are right now. I can take care of myself and still keep up with my work–”“Absolutely not!”Warner's voice interrupted Eliana before she could complete her se
