Chapter 0451 VALERIE.

Somehow, | was expecting that reaction from him. I'm not sure why, but | wasn’t expecting him to be ecstatic over the news and, in a way, I'm glad | was prepared.

Being a doctor, I've cacross a huge variety of reactions from couples, or even single mothers. Accidental pregnancies are not a small matter, and our relationship is so recent and so new that | don’t blhim for reacting like that even if it does hurt a little.

More than his rejection of the pregnancy, what stung was the way he closed up. My only solace was his parting words, proof enough that he’s trying to be considerate and will return.

In all honesty, it was my carelessness. | told him I'd take the morning-after pill and | should have gotten onto birth control. What was | expecting? But at the stime, so much happened | can’t fault myself for forgetting.

| pick up a gown, still feeling exhausted from the intense sex we had and slip it on as | slowly sit down on the bed feeling... alone, despite the lingering feel of his touch dancing along my skin.

If | am pregnant, | wouldn't get rid of it, but | also need to consider Zade and help him cto terms with it. He has his insecurities no matter how much he tries to hide them. And I'm assuming he probably doesn’t see himself as a good father. We're adults and we will deal with this like two sensible adults.

“I'm waiting for you, don’t be too long,” | say quietly to the empty room as | drop sideways onto the pillow, waiting.

Five minutes becten, ten becfifteen and, although | feel restless, sleep begins to beckon me. Through half-hooded eyes, | glance at the clock, wondering where he’s gone at this time.

After another five minutes, | sigh. | can’t sleep like this! Just talk to me, Zade...

| sit up, deciding I've waited long enough. I'll go find him myself. | take out sclothes and get dressed before | pull on sshoes and leave the room. Looking down the hall, | ponder over where he might be. Deciding he probably went outside, | hurry towards the stairs.

I'm halfway down the stairs when | stop, seeing a shadow from the corner of my eyes. | turn sharply, not even realising I'm more on edge than | ever used to be, more aware of my surroundings.

1 let out a sigh of relief when I realise it’s just Sebastian gulping down a water bottle as he +15 MOHN walks towards the staircase.

“What are you doing awake at this time?” he asks, I shake briskly.

my head. “I could ask the very same, but if you must know, | had things to do,” | say.

He nods slowly, an expression that clearly tellshe’s not buying it. “Sure.” | frown, noticing how Sebastian observes me, and that long stare makesslightly uncomfortable. “I see you're returning to your old ways.” He finishes off the bottle and places. it down on the cabin the grand foyer as | cock a brow.

“My old ways?” “The pre-coma Valerie. If memory serves, you were the annoying thorn in my side, always having to defend anyone and speak up for anyone who needs help. | wonder, do you ever put yourself first?” What is this man going on about? “Of course | do,” | state.

He cocks a brow before he jerks his head towards the back hall. “He's out there.”

My heart skips a beat wondering what he knew, but | don't say anything watchjng as he walks past me and heads upstairs. Letting out a huff of air, | walk down the hall to the back door and hesitate.

What will | say? Turning away, | decide to make scoffee first. It’s getting colder... Once | have two steaming mugs of coffee in my hands, | open the back door and step outside.

Once | take a few steps, | look around and catch the glow of a cigarette | turn to see Zade siting against the wall, one leg sprawled out in front of him, the other with his knee up and his arm resting on it. “Hey. Coffee?” | say, not sure if | should go over to him. Would he just move away? The thought hurts when | frown, no we're stronger than that.

“I could do with scoffee,” he says quietly as he blows out a string of smoke. | walk towards him, my heart racing, although I'm trying my best to stay calm.

He reaches up and takes both mugs from and places them on the ground. I'm about to sit down beside him when he squeezes my thigh, caressing it gently before he tugs down to sit between his legs.
