Agatha was the first to look away. She became shy. Looking at him with his charming eyes could make a woman want to melt into his arms. Eddie looked away and concentrated on the design on the computer. He scrolled down and saw more beautiful designs on the screen. Jennifer was feeling uneasy. She was feeling slight stomach cramps. She was expecting her period that day and carried a pad in her bag. She asked that Eddie excuse her. She took her bag and the latter asked her where she was going. She Said to the restroom. "With your bag?" Eddie asked. Agatha smiled and said yes. She stood up and passed Eddie to the bathroom. But alas something had happened. She had been stained slightly. A drop of blood was on her skirt and Eddie saw it. He squinted and understood what was going on. He called her back. He held her by her waist and asked her why she didn't just pick the pad rather than going into the restroom with the whole bag? Agatha squinted. Who told him she might be i
They were quiet until they arrived at the Paradise hotel. It was indeed Paradise. It's architectural design was the best Jennifer had seen both home and abroad. Its walls were covered with precious stones and the floor was glittering. Jennifer hadn't stepped out of the car yet, but she was already carried away by the beauty of the environs. "Wow, Eddie, this hotel is the best!"She exclaimed. She turned and glanced at him. This is not a place where mean people were found. High officials and politicians are the ones who frequent the hotel. Men with class and people from the aristocrat family are the ones who can afford it. "Glad you like it. I was thinking of building something like this for my sons before dad willed it to one of them. This is my favorite resort when I want to be alone"Eddie replied, parking his car at a designated area. Jennifer smiled. She's happy. This beautiful place is now owned by her kid. She smiled and her eyes became moist. Eddie glanced at her
Eddie told them that Jennifer had told her how they both gave a hand of help to her in those trying Fredes of her life. He thanked them saying they all have contributed in one way or the other to the existence of his kids. He doesn't know how to pay them for their kindness. "President Li, you thank us too much. We have only fulfilled our responsibility to our friend"Josh said. My name is Eddie Josh, not President Li. Don't be formal whenever we are together. I don't usually have friends but I see us four as friends now,"Eddie corrected. "Thank you Eddie" Josh said but Eddie interrupted him again. "My first name is fine,"he insisted. They four laughed. The entire evening was a memorable one. "Agatha, is there anything you would want us to know?" Rosa asked, passing her friend a quick glance. Jennifer chuckled audibly. She took Eddie's hands and said "you already know what I have to say. But since you want to hear it from the horse's mouth, I will say it all the s
"Go with him tomorrow. He has something to say to you. Hear him out first"Eddie persuaded. It is not wrong to listen when someone wants to talk to you. It is only not advisable that you take everything you hear to heart and act on it. Maybe he wants to apologise to her and ask her to take him back. Since she isn't going to agree to be the surrogate Mother for him and his wife, maybe he wants to persuade her to be or get pregnant for him instead. Eddie persuaded Agatha to go for the dinner but must have someone trailing her. He can't take chances with someone so mean as drugging her when she was still his wife. Agatha agreed and said she would give him feedback on how things were unfolding. Eddie said that's better. They stopped at a supermarket and got candies and ice cream for the kids before they continued their home going. Kids like sweet things and that gets them excited when their parents are returning home. Josh and Rosa arrived home. They got in and Josh said
Eddie chuckled. How nice it would have been to have an elder sister or a sister as a sibling. She's so meticulous and talks like a mother that she truly is. He stood up and went to stand before the mirror. He looked at the treated wound and saw that Agatha did it well. She came and stood beside him. She saw him looking at himself and subconsciously raised his hand and touched the wound. "You may need to use a waterproof bandage when going to take your bath. Help the wound to disappear quickly and be free"Jennifer instructed. Eddie looked at her from the mirror and they both glanced at each other. "Thank you," he said sincerely. Jennifer saw him being sincere and was moved. He had suddenly been quiet while she was taking care of the wound and only talked when she ask him a question. She smiled and turned to leave when Eddie held her by the wrist. He pulled her to himself and stood looking into her eyes. "I love you Agatha," Eddie confessed. Before Jennifer could repl
Eddie completely ignored his question. What kind of person was Julia? He is egoistic with his woman and doesn't want to beg her to keep the pregnancy. He was not ready to marry her either. He is looking for someone who will come in between to persuade Rita not to abort the pregnancy. Does someone get egoistic with a woman he had slept with? He doesn't know what to think or say about this pride of his. If Jennifer hadn't taken the initiative to intervene, he would have left things the way they are. A man should be responsible for his actions. He is now responsible for his sons and Julia should be responsible to the mother of his unborn baby and the baby itself. "Agatha may ask you to accompany her to a dinner with her ex-husband, go with her but maintain a distance. I may likely show up there but I didn't tell her that.." Eddie instructed. Julia said Ok. He would talk with Jennifer and ask her what she's going to do to help him talk to Rita. She mustn't abort that pregnancy
Rita was lost. Eddie's girlfriend? If she's not mistaken, the Eddie she's talking about is the same as President Li, Julia's elder brother. She was a little calm. She let Jennifer hold her hands. Her suspicion that she might be Julia's girlfriend was dissipated. "You mean President Li?" Rita asked to be sure. Jennifer gave a nod. She saw the surprise on her face and knew she least expected her to be Eddie's woman. " Julia is a friend as well. He told us about you" Jennifer paused and withdrew her hands from Rita, picking up a glass of juice, she had a quick sip. "Yeah. He told you I am pregnant right?" Rita asked. She took a glass of her juice and sipped as well. She knew for Jennifer to come to see her, it implies that he must have told them about the pregnancy. "Yes. He told us that you are pregnant"Jennifer answered honestly. If Julia hadn't told them about the pregnancy, how else would she have known about it? Rita was quiet. She wants Jennifer to go ahead with wh
Harry was asking if she was going to come over to meet him or if he should stop by and pick her up. Jennifer hissed when she saw the message. He must be feeling excited that she agreed to go to dinner with him. If it wasn't for Eddie who persuaded her, she wouldn't have gone anywhere near him. She replied and said she would join him if he sent her the address. Quickly the address was sent to her and she realised that he had chosen a quiet garden hotel. She forwarded the address to Eddie before she continued with her work. She can't take chances with Harry again in her entire life. He had drugged her and Yuna had helped her into a hotel room and they hired a hooker to rape her. That was when she was still Mrs Lu. She can imagine a man who can do that to his legal wife, would do so much more for her than he did before, especially since she is not his wife and not ready to be a surrogate Mother for him and Tiana. Meanwhile, Cherry Lu and Regina met in a grocery store.
